PARTY TIME!!! Baby Beckham turns 1 & Preschool Prom


I can hardly believe my baby boy turned 1 yesterday, April, 6th. I thought time went by at a pretty good pace with my first two kids, but adding a third kid into the mix feels like time flys by in a blink of an eye. I still can't believe Beckham's 1?? We decided to keep things low key for Beckham's birthday this year since the kids and I had been sick and Blake is still trying to get over a stomach bug. It was nice to just spend time together as a family and to celebrate Beckham and his sweet spirit being in our lives for the past year. Plus, the older kids enjoyed seeing what new toys they Beckham got for his birthday ;) Also this year I let Tristen plan Beckham's birthday party. I figured Beckham's party was more for the older kids then for him  since he's only 1, so why not make it more memorable to the older kids and let them feel involved. With that being said, Tristen had an absolute blast planning for the party. Tristen and Blake picked out all the tableware, decorations, and Tristen decided that we would make a cake for Beckham and put candy on it....ok, no complaints from mom here with the last request!! So all in all Beckham's birthday was a lot of fun for all of us.

Yesterday was also a special day because it was Tristen's preschool prom. Yes, as soon as I told Tristen she could wear a pretty dress to school and have fancy hair the words....."CAN I WEAR YOUR MAKEUP?" were quick to follow. What is a mom to do? I said yes, because it was a special occasion and of course she was beaming cheek to cheek since she got to feel like a princess for the day. It is amazing what a little blush, eye shadow and lip gloss can do to a little girl's mood. It was fun for both of us to get her ready for her fun day at preschool.

Tristen wasn't thrilled about her dress she wanted to wear her fancier one
however anyone who has seen my little girl eat would know she is a "little" messy
to put it politely, so this dress was fine if she spilled.


Loving her big girl makeup for the day



Getting ready to leave, her ride couldn't arrive fast enough for how excited she was!

 Beckham's cake that Tristen helped me decorate. The middle layer had frosting and crushed
double stuffed oreos. Top layer shaved kit kat bar, chocolate bunny, gummy sour bunnies, robin malt eggs, topped with butter cream frosting....mmmm RICH cake!!

P.S I'll post more pics later, I some how deleted the pics of Beckhams b-day from the computer ..my bad :)

I knew he was getting close to turning 1 but I didn't realize how soon it was. What a great idea to let the kids plan his party. I might steal that idea for when Elle turns 1. --Tristen looks so cute and you can tell that she is just glowing with excitement.
