UMM is anyone else blown away that it's already September!?

Even though it's still 90 degrees here (Houston is crazy) and we have been to the splash pad almost every day this week, September means Summer's gone!!

From graduating Law School,
to the craziest summer of "Bar studying taking over our life" and hardly seeing my husband,
to the happiest vacations of celebration,
and ending with our baby turning 2!!!

It's been the most beautiful summer.
I would take it all over again in a heart beat.

(( ok maybe minus the Bar - pretty happy that's over HA ))

So summer, here you are in a blink of my favorite moments...





I'm convinced pictures are worth 1000 words,
and this summer deserves all the credit.

You stole my heart.
AHHH you guys I'm so excited about this giveaway!
Partially because I'm obsessed with shopping. Get me in a mall and I will love you for life!

I have teamed up with these 5 darling bloggers for a $60 GAP GIFTCARD!!

Baby Gap is one of my favorite places to shop for Ryan, in fact we just bought him a whole slew of jeans over the weekend. (40% off baby!) Their toddler skinny jeans kill me!
Annddd let's just not talk about Gap Body because I love it so much!
 So many choices with Gap!

So dream of buying something for yourself, your baby or your significant other and ENTER TO WIN!

Giveaway will run for 1 week until September 10th! Good luck! XO

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Given Ryan's slightly extravagant "Hole in One Golf Party" I threw for him last year on his first birthday,

we decided to make this years birthday a little more low key
( like buy the banner at the store instead of make it HA )

 and wait a year
(( for my husbands sake ))
 before I go crazy with a huge party again.

We spent the day with our little family - the best.


Ryan has a passion for cars so we decided to give him a little "cars heaven" for a day.

We celebrated on Saturday so that Aaron could be there to spend the whole day with him and we could take Ryan to do all his favorite things.

He woke up to birthday pancakes and a few gifts from Aaron and I to open.

I made Aaron blow up like 30 balloons to cover our family room with- 

And Ryan was in heaven overload!


Our child is slightly obsessed with golfing.
So we decided to take him and his plastic clubs to the course for his birthday.


Ryan loving golf makes my husband the happiest person ever.


It's the cutest thing to watch him try and "putt" his ball in the hole and watching my husband teach him how to swing.

(( MELTS me ))

Even though it was 100 degrees out, after 9 holes
he totally cried when we left the course- he loves it that much!


We went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner.
Home of Ryan's favorite cheese pizza.
He was in heaven.
(plus Aaron and I are obsessed with that place and find every reason we can to go HA)


I saw a similar cake to this on Pinterest and fell in love with it!
My mother - in- law and I tweeked it a little and had it made for him!

I just made the "start" and "finish" signs with a little construction paper and a couple sticks :)

Before we could light the candles he went straight for the cars.
"vroom vroom"


***Warning for these next pictures: 
With Ryan's "only child / only grandchild ((both sides)) STATUS",
his birthday is comparable to Christmas morning.

I have never seen so many gifts for a two year old.
All thanks to his grandparents HA.


** All cars decor, banner, cups, hats and plates found at Party City








It was a perfect day together celebrating our favorite little human.

Ryan was in heaven and still to this day asks me almost every morning "Mamma, Birfday?"
I'm like "no sweetie, still a long time until your next one"
HA

Little boy you are our world! Your daddy and I adore you to pieces. XO

PS. Just a quick reminder, Last couple days to enter the Gap Giveaway !! Happy Tuesday ladies!!
