He loves to help his mommy!
I just love my little man!
We celebrated this momentous occasion at Whitney Park with family and friends! Everyone had a blast and Emma loved the swings! 
She loved being the center of attention and having everyone sing to her (I am pretty sure she gets this quality from her daddy)! And she found my cake to be quite yummy! Woo hoo! The giant cupcake turned out to be a success!
Then it was time to open gifts. With Mommy's help of course! It was so much fun to watch her little face light up every time we opened a new gift!
By the end of the day our sweet Emma was all worn out! It turned out to be the perfect 1st birthday for our perfect little girl!
So I decided to see if I had an undiscovered baking/cake decorating talent and make Emma's first birthday cake! The theme was cupcakes and I found this adorable giant cupcake cake pan at Michael's. So I bought it and then headed home for a practice run! It all seemed pretty easy but it definitely didn't turn out the way I had imagined! So I set it on the counter and thought to myself, "Maybe I will just order a cake!":( Then my little Dylan walked into the kitchen, took one look at my disaster, I mean cake, and in the most sincere voice said,"Awww...Mommy it is beautiful!". Instantly my heart melted and my eyes began to tear up. I bent down gave him a big hug and told him how much I just love him! I had never heard him use the word beautiful before. I wouldn't have been surprised if he said my cake was awesome, since that is the word he uses most to describe anything he likes! But no, he said it was beautiful! It was just the encouragement I needed to want to try again! It is amazing how a small child can uplift you! It is little moments like this that make feel so grateful to be a mommy! I don't know what I would do without my silly little man!
So Dave and I just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary! We were so lucky to get my sister Courtney to watch Dylan and Emma for us while we had a night on the town! Well sort of;) We started our night at the Melting Pot! This is one of my most favorite restaurants! I love the atmosphere and just being able to take your time and really enjoy the amazing food! We splurged with the Big Night Out, a four-course fondue dinner for two that consists of your cheese fondue, a salad, your choice of entree and cooking style, and then most of all my absolute favorite...DESSERT! And I must say the dessert was phenomenal! We chose the Bananas Foster Chocolate Fondue (Silky, white chocolate swirled with bananas, brown sugar and a dash of Cinnamon, flambeed table side). I highly recommend everyone try it! Ahh...My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
We had a great time being able to enjoy one another without having to discipline and wrestle kids (Our children don't tend to do well in restaurant settings, especially little Miss Emma!). It was a wonderful way to celebrate our 4 years of marriage! Honestly it doesn't feel like it has been that long and I am guessing that is probably a good thing!
So I have been tagged and with our 4 year anniversary right around the corner, I found this little questionnaire appropriate! So here it goes! Enjoy!

For 4 years on March 19th!

Who can sing better?
Hmm...neither!!!
Who does the laundry?
I wash it and he folds it and puts it away! I know, I know, I am one lucky lady!!!

You know our grass is special! It doesn't grow! Seriously, Dave has probably mowed it 5 times in the 2 years we have lived here and it is still short!

He kissed me!
