WHAT A WEEKEND - PART TWO

Later on Saturday we had a fun little party for Taryn's BIG FIRST BIRTHDAY at the park. Seriously...I don't think she could have been any cuter! What ONE year old smiles so excitedly to all her guests and is thrilled with joy when she opens each present?! I guess it was a good thing she had her breakdown earlier! Honestly, I know I'm her mom and can say this all the time, but she was ADORABLE! It was like she knew it was her big day and everyone was there for her. I have so many cute pictures so I'll try to limit myself but you'll get the jist of how excited and happy she was...

The Set-Up. I had so much fun planning and decorating for this little Birthday Bash!

Going in for the CAKE. Not much of a messy eater, she was being shy with it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARBUG, WE LOVE YOU!

WHAT A WEEKEND!!!

Well our weekend was filled with craziness! But good craziness...it all began with mine and Robbie's 5 YEAR anniversary on Thursday! 5 YEARS....can you believe it, wow how time flies. I feel like it was just yesterday we were dating...head over heels for one another, still are most the time ;) Robbie was able to take the day off work so that afternoon we went to the temple. All the older ladies and gents working thought we were there to get married and telling us congratulations. It was pretty funny. After, we headed to Gateway and saw Iron Man. I actually really liked it, but it is a definite guys show. We figured out that there is always a comic book show that comes out just in time for our anniversary. On our honeymoon we saw X-MEN and last year we saw Spider-man. I hope this doesn't become a tradition. But Robbie did promise me a chick flick in order to see Iron Man. Then for dinner we went to the Cheesecake Factory...I love this place! Some think it's not all that it entails to be but I love every dish I get....and of course save room for the cheesecake at the end. Mmmmmmmmm we had the Godiva cheesecake, to DIE for! It was such a fun day, and a nice time with just the two of us.

We still stay up late and act like goofs
(Robbie's mustache was in honor of Cinco De Mayo! But he couldn't even stand it for that, he shaved it that next morning.)


I love my Robbily Bobbily and am so glad I found him!


Next up was the "Race for the Cure" which I still can't get over how many thousands of people were there. It was chaos. We went to support Janice Sansom (Robbie's aunt) who was diagnosed with cancer last year and won the battle. I also represented my Aunt Becky, she began her fight with the cancer demon in 2003 and also won! YAY!!! I'm proud to say she is doing very well! :) Because there were a bajillion people and we all wanted to chat along the way, we walked the strenuous 3 miles and enjoyed it all...that is until Taryn decided she wanted to be done and threw a major fit. She was so tired and wanted her crib...that was fun. But it all ended well and I'm glad I could be there to support these women and the research for cancer.

Janice, Wrigley and Carrie, Margo, Taryn and me.

GTU

Taryn's making her debut on the big screen this Friday on Good Things Utah. Everyday they have pictures of kiddos for their first birthdays and I remembered to send one in of Taryn. So watch for it!

Picnic at the park

Monday I took Taryn, the jogger stroller, a blanket, and a few snacks to Liberty park...I'm planning on running the Race for a Cure 5k this upcoming Saturday and I figured I better get some running in before the big day! The weather could not have been more perfect...I wish it would stay this way for more than a couple of days! Honestly can winter be closed already?! After a jog around the park we spread out our blanket and watched the geese and ducks. Taryn's new favorite thing is to point at everything and I think it's so cute...that little tiny index finger, I just want to eat it up! And she has finally figured out how to put food into her mouth, and let go of it. A few of her favorites are...goldfish, graham crackers, mac and cheese, captain crunch, grilled cheese sandwiches, and still loves the jars of baby food!



Eating fishies



Pointing out the duckies



in awe



more pointing



Everything was fine and dandy until the geese were coming right at us! They kept creeping closer and closer so I threw food at them but they wouldn't go away...so we moved...I didn't want to risk a goose attack!



Taryn's reaction to the geese squawking



mmmmm, more fishies







Listening to the ipod



priceless
