My Sister Told Me to Blog, So...

Here we are! Sunset and Camden!

I'm kind of loving this Fall weather. It's been so perfect this year, not too cold and not too hot...all you need is a light jacket!

I'm more aware of the weather I think because I walk to work. It isn't far and it is a blessing that I can walk to work, but it keeps me tuned in more to what is happening because it effects my mornings and afternoons more than a drive would. Or I guess just in different, more exposed way.

Anyway, grateful for Fall although we did have a good summer. Monroe turned 3 at the end of July and asked for a "My Little Pony" themed birthday party. Her friends from daycare came to help us celebrate and it was so great to have them all come by. 
I'm proud of this cake. Oh and the amazing 3 year old is mine as well.


Mid-Happy Birthday song

All Mo's friends who came. We really are so grateful to have the Riley family in our lives!


Over Labor Day weekend we got to go to Powderhorn with my family, which for those lucky souls who are friends with more than one of us on Facebook, you already know all about it. We Mahans do love our family time, and this really is one of the best traditions that we've had my whole life. I really love getting to spend time with my whole family and I really love seeing all of the girlies get to play together. 
A family picture up at the top of Land's End Road. Great view and a traditional activity for the weekend

Our family celebration on her actual birthday
Mara turned 1 and I'm dying a little bit at not having a baby in my house anymore but c'est la vie. She is the best baby ever. We had an Uno themed birthday party for her (get it? Uno?) and were fortunate to celebrate with several of our friends here plus Mom and Kelli from out of town. I'm so glad that we have such amazing people in our lives
I was pretty proud of how these turned out, too.


Eating the cake--more like rubbing cake all over her face

Opening presents, which Mo was more than happy to help out with
. We are beyond blessed.
