We celebrated June’s birthday a little early this year. My parents were going to be out of town on her official birthday, but they still wanted to celebrate with us. June shared her birthday with my brother-in-law, Jason. His birthday is on the 23rd and June’s is on the 29th, so we celebrated both birthdays on the 17th. Jason was so nice to share his birthday Sunday with June. He got to pick his favorite meal and I made June a delicious chocolate cake, which she loved. We sang Happy Birthday to both and let June dig in! It was so fun to see her and to think back to just a year ago when she was so small and fragile. Now she walks and talks(very loudly)! This past year just flew by and I am grateful everyday for her spirit of adventure and her curious little mind. She has brought so much joy and love into our home and we are thankful she is the first chapter to our growing family! Thanks to my wonderful and talented sister for the great pictures.

My sister was kind enough to take some shots of June, which we really appreciate cause it was very chilly and windy. She did a great job and I couldn’t ask for better pictures. I cannot believe she is almost one! Time has just flown by.

Dresses

I have been wanting to make some dresses for June for the summer, but my sewing skills are lacking very much in that department. I am VERY lucky to have a sewing master as a mother. She always made our clothes while growing up. So of course there was only one person to ask to help with the task. My mom was very willing and more than ready to teach me the ropes….very basic ropes.

2 out of the 3 dresses were tutorials from online and the other was a pattern. I picked out the fabric and ribbons and she provided the sewing machines and talent. We had so much fun sewing, cutting and ironing. She was a great teacher and very patient! She will say that I did a lot of the work, but she did most of it.

Thanks mom!
