Maddie Jane's 3rd Birthday


We started the birthday celebrations on Thursday at Maddie Jane's school. She wouldn't be at school on her birthday, but pink cupcakes for the class was a MUST per Miss MJ. 


The next morning (on her actual birthday), Daddy went and got HOT and made to order, Duck Donuts. Holy yuuuumm.


That night we went to eat hibachi with Honey and Gigi who were both in town for the big day. 


Our normally super out going, life of the party girl, just gets beside herself when Happy Birthday is being sung to her. I love this teeeennyy tiny sheepish side of her :) 


She just could NOT believe that all this hoopla was for her! 



On Sunday morning, we had her birthday party. Her two requests were princesses and waffles. So a breakfast princess party it was! 


85% of the time, this girl has on a princess dress. Playing dress up is by far her favorite activity.




Thankfully Gigi threw the majority of this party together for me. My only job was to go to Sam's to buy all the food. Yes ma'am. 


Love this little fam of mine and hosting for the first time in our new house! 



Our neighbor and Maddie Jane's newest friend, Clara, was able to come to the party! These two are just too cute together.







You guys this little girl is SO full of emotions. (Sometimes a little too much on the drama side.) But shes feels all the feelings, and loves her people so fiercely. When everyone was singing happy birthday to her, she teared up!! Oh my, Maddie girl. Never change.


Love this birthday girl so much. I cannot believe she made me a Mama THREE years ago! It just doesn't seem real. We are so lucky to call her ours.

Better Birthday Things


After posting on my birthday back HERE, I received countless texts, calls, and insta messages. So many were showing their support, sending up sweet words and prayers.. but a staggering amount were from other ladies that are either currently experiencing infertility/loss or did at one time. It's so insane how many women suffer in silence, and no one has any clue the turmoil they are going though. Such a big reminder to love on your neighbors.. you just never know what's going on.. 


BUT I do want to move on to the happier parts of my 29th birthday. Mom came up on Saturday to surprise me. She kept MJ at home while Age and I went to a house warming party (no pictures were taken... oops). Then on Sunday morning we had brunch at First Watch! 


We ran ALL THE ERRANDS that day, and then Ms Sam came to watch Maddie Jane. AJ had planned a super fancy date night for the night before my surgery. We made it to the St Regis in time for their nightly champagne sabering. 


And then moved onto Atlas for dinner. HOLY COW. So insanely good.



We have had so many amazing meals together.. it's hard to keep up with who really reigns supreme. This place is def top 5 in my lifetime.. Totally go if you have a special occasion!! 



And then on Thursday night, I had another sitter and went out to eat for Bev's birthday. Love having this friend of mine as a birthday twin. 


So incredibly thankful for all my friends and family who rallied around me during this not so ideal birthday. I received so many flowers and edible arrangements - my house has smelled amazing for over a week! This time in my life has taught me a ton, and I am ready to move forward.. I have liiike five blog posts coming at ya to get caught back up now that I am out of my emotional funk..

A lot coming up in the next few weeks with the big move to Charlotte. Cheers to being settled in our new house soon (for the third time in two years..) HA!

Peyton's Birthday | Gigi + CC time!


Last weekend we headed down to Forsyth for Maddie Jane's favorite person's birthday - Peyton! I still can't believe that sweet little nugget I held sooo long ago in the hospital is ELEVEN!


Peyton requested a fishing party, and Amanda put it together so perfectly! 


It was at one of their friend's farm/event venue. And Miss Maddie Jane was beside herself that there were real live horses!! 



Ugh this outfit. She insists on wearing her "CC shoes" (read: camo crocs that look exactly like CC's that he gave her for Christmas) every single day. She had on a cute pink dress, so I tried to pair some sort of outfit together to match the camo, ha! 








Peyton had SO many of his guy friends in attendance, and he seriously paid way more attention to Maddie Jane than his guests. That boy has a heart of gold! Love their sweet relationship.



And if the horses weren't amazing enough, she got to ride on a gator down to a pond and went fishing! Have you ever seen this much excitement in a child's face?!




She loves her CC so much! 


He and Daddy were the biggest help with MJ and her Frozen fishing pole! 






Mom and Chip came to our house to stay the night and the next morning we took a stroll to Waffle House. 


LOVE this girl's sass, and my sweet Mama. What a wonderful 24 hours with some of my favorite people!
