Karter's First Birthday Mustache Bash!

This weekend we had Karter's first birthday party,

I really can't believe that my sweet baby boy is one already, 

seems like just yesterday I was lying in the OR FaceTime-ing

with Lorne in Afghanistan while he was born.

Karter has been such a beautiful surprise for our family and

I can't imagine my life with out him in it.

Here's the invitation we used (I've blurred the address)

I love a good pun!

Soda Labels are from the Mustache Madness collection from BirthdayDirect.com 

Mustache Straws and Lollies from OrientalTrading.com

I created the printables with graphics from JW Illustrations

We had Stache Sugar Cookies and Manly Crunch (Apple Slices)

Chocolate Cigars (Pirouettes)

M&M Mini Tubes as Favors

Root Beers for the grown ups

and Milk Mustaches (Chocolate Milks)

for the kiddies

Real Man (Red Velvet) Cupcakes

I bought the cupcakes because I didn't have time to make them,

the party was at my mom's house, which is a five hour drive

from our house so store bought it was--don't judge me!

With mustache picks from Oriental Trading

Ranch Bowtie Pasta

House Reveal Part One-Karter's Room

Say hello to the new Casa Verde!

We just bought our first house and we're super excited!

It's still in the decorating process, because it takes me a while to 

decide where I want everything, I was just thinking this afternoon, 

I might move around the sectional in the living room.

Anyway, family and friends have been asking to see it so

I figured I'd give you all a glimpse inside the one and only room

that I consider done (well done enough lol).

Karter's Room!

Karter's blanket was made by his Aunt Kenz

I painted the painting to the left

Light is from IKEA (gah, I love that store)

Elvis print I took from my grandmothers house 

This painting was done by my momma,

Karter's Nanny

I guess I got a lot of pics of his bed haha

 And another of my paintings

Big Ol' Mason Jar of Pacifiers

and one of the Singing Elvis Dogs 

my grandma had since I was a kid.

I had to have this one, it sings Jailhouse Rock!

We are still looking for a record frame to hang the

Johnny Cash albums we have, but other than that

our littlest Rockstar is all set!

Next room...Kaylee Bug's!
