HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
So January was here and while Dustin was trying to figure out when he would start in Washington, I was trying to plan Ella's 1st birthday and keep his 30th birthday a surprise! Well....that didn't work...I told him. Mainly because I obviously wanted him to be here for it! haha. For Dustin's 30th birthday he got what he's ALWAYS wanted...a Duramax! Yes, he got a truck for his birthday...what a nice wife, right?
If you know Dustin you know this truck does NOT look the same as this photo! I'll post an update. This man is seriously the hardest working husband. He's always willing to work extra if I need/want something, bills need paid, needs new fender flares for the diesel...you know...he's grown up sooo much since I met him in 2007; it amazes me. I knew I fell in love with him for a reason. I'm so thankful to have him in my life and blessed that God chose him as my lifelong partner (in crime...well...not really...i'm not into that.)
For his big 3-0 I wanted it to be special, and with him leaving for Washington what better than a nice party. I unfortunately didn't take ANY photos, I know you are thinking how did THAT happen? But here are his invitations, made by none other than me! Yep, I DID that!
The party was a success and Dustin really enjoyed his birthday I think! YAY!
After the big party came Ella's big shebang. She turned 1 just a few days before Dustin's birthday. The kids need nor want for much so we decided to celebrate with no presents. We made a donation to Cardon Children's Medical Center in Ella's name for those that did bring a small donation to her party! We celebrated at home with family and a few close friends. I love family time. I made the cake and Ella's Aunt Lisa made the frosting. It was topped with cute little bunting, as this was the theme to her birthday. I didn't get many photos...why I have NO idea! But as always, a photo session was done prior to her birthday so that works!
