Our sweet baby Jones’ birth story was eventful yet peaceful and perfect. If you’ve followed me for any length of time you know I delivered Parker breeched four minutes after arriving to the hospital (I don’t recommend doing that).

This year our favorite first born turned FIVE!! We threw together a baking theme party because Bennett LOVES baking, baking / cooking shows, and “baking” with kinetic sand.
