What We Wore : Kyler's First Birthday

I so wish that I had more time to get ready the morning of Kyler's Party, I would have loved to curl my hair and throw on a little more make up. Unfortunately that morning was pretty chaotic, loading everything up to take to the park, baking, cooking etc ... which left me with not much time to get ready ! So my outfit was quickly thrown together and one I had actually bought to wear to my friend's wedding but it worked out for the party to !

Kyler's Woodland First Birthday Party

I apologize in advance for the serious photo dump here but I cant help myself it was to hard to choose which ones to share ! We hired a photographer to take photos of his party because I knew i wanted to capture all the details of it but not have to be stuck behind the camera all day ! I just knew I had to have Jen from It's Love Photography , not only is she one of the best photographers I have come across but she is also a dear friend of mine from college ! Jen is an incredibly talented photographer and I knew she would capture every detail of the day which left me free to relax and enjoy the party ! Thank you so much Jen you did an incredible job !

I chose a woodland theme for Kyler's party because not only do I love woodland things but he has the cutest little Fox he sleeps with every night so I new i somehow wanted to incorporate that into the party! His party was very affordable, I pulled tons of decorations from around the house to use, crafted all the rest and borrowed tables and chairs from davids work. The main expense was the food but that was also super affordable, we baked a lot of it and than got the rest from costco (they have awesome desserts). We had an afternoon party so we just did a dessert table and than a snack/appetizer table! I couldn't have been more happy with how everything turned out ! We had such a great day celebrating with loved ones !

Dana's Point Trail

This is the last of my posts from when my family was visiting (except for kylers first birthday party, which I cant wait to share with you all!). On the last day of my parents vacation we decided to head up to Dana's Point for the day and we stumbled across this gorgeous view of the harbor which had a trail next to it , so we decided to check it out and we were not disappointed! It's not a long hike just a little one but the views alone are worth it ! If you live in the area be sure to check it out (it's off of blue lantern street and the 101) !
