Taylor's First Birthday

We still can't believe how fast the time has flown by! Our little baby is not so little anymore :( This past year with her has been absolutely wonderful, watching her grow, learn, play, and develop has been the best experience of our lives. She has become such a sweet, generous, and fun loving little girl! She was full on walking at 9 months and running by 12! She knows Mama, Dada, and Uh oh. She loves to dance and will do it on command. Her current obsession is horses, anything to do with horses as far as pictures, television shows with horses, and toys that have horses are her absolute fav! Her favorite song right now is the theme song to In the Heat of the Night the television show. She looks forward to dancing to that song with Grandpa B every morning. One of our favorite traits about Taylor is that she never misses an opportunity to smile or make someone laugh. She is one happy little girl which makes us the happiest parents ever! It must be a Southern tradition to do a big first birthday party, since my dear husband was looking at me like I was insane the entire time I was planning and making banners, favor boxes, and decor for the party, but we ended up doing a Vintage Cowgirl theme for Taylor's first birthday anyway. Here are a some of the pictures we have, you'll notice Taylor is not wearing her little pink cowgirl boots. The stinker learned how to slip them off and would not wear them so we had to resort to her sandals. I guess I can't win them all :( Hope y'all enjoy looking!

 Towards the end of the party guests got to take a Hayride through the 40 acre farm
 Crazy Camryn playing with the bubbles she won from the potato sack races


 Loved the Barrel tables! 
 Princess guarding the favor table which included bandannas, cowboys hats, temporary tattoos, mustaches, water pistols, badges, bubbles, and candy. 
 Taylor found some rocks
 Trying to see if she could get away with keeping them




 The kids loved the petting zoo






 Taylor's favorite other then her ponies were the chickens
 She didn't really like the whole getting messy part


 Instead of digging in she took off little parts of the cake and was handing them to the other kids


 Taylor and Izabella sharing cake







 She was letting Daddy know she did not want to be in her high chair

 Dessert table set up 
 Smash Cake
 The wonderful cupcake and smores pops
 Absolutely fell in love with her boot cake
 It all tasted so good too


 We were so lucky to have found such a wonderful venue and such a kind and caring couple who owned and hand built it all from the ground up to host our little girls special day at! 
 Taylor on the pony, she had one pony all to herself since she wouldn't get off. 





 Daddy and Taylor



 She loved her big wolf she got from Uncle Thomas
 She was up to something like ususal




 Playing with her wolf
 She wanted to get the party started early 

 Her special Pandora bracelet that Daddy got her. He picked it all out without my help. 
 Her custom Audi convertible from Aunt Brooke
 The neat little school house replica they had built for the kids to see how they were back in the day. 




This is about the extent of how dirty Taylor would get
 Hollow Hill Farms were such wonderful hosts!

 This 40 Acre Pecan Farm was gorgeous and so relaxing
