Beach Trip to Cape May, NJ on Father's Day weekend

Here we are on the beach in Cape May, NJ on June 19th. Sage loved playing in the sand with her sand tools. Thank goodness for the bumbo chair cause that kept her in one spot. She didn’t like getting sand on her hands. She would turn to me and wait for me to clean it off. We were amazed at how well she entertained herself on the beach. She also loved the ocean. She would laugh when a wave came and hit her feet. She also loved the pool at the hotel. She is very much a water baby.


This is us at the adorable downtown Cape May. It is full of adorable shops and restaurants. We had some yummy seafood and ice cream afterwards.

Here is Sage with her Daddy on Father’s Day. She is pretty crazy about her Daddy and they are so cute together. It’s hard to believe this is their second Father’s Day together. Sage is so blessed to have such a wonderful and loving father.

John bought Sage the world’s largest rubber duckie at a shop in Cape May. Duckie was one of Sage’s first words and no bath is complete without her duckies. She enjoys throwing this one all around the tub. As you can see, it makes quite the splash. 

Sage's birthday party in Texas

Here we are, the legendary Prince family.
I was in Texas on Mother's Day so John sent me these beautiful flowers. He's so sweet.

Here I am with my awesome friends from high school. I should say from grade school. Here is Aprill, Jessica, me, and Rainie. I was so thrilled they all happened to be in town that weekend. Especially Rainie who lives in L.A. It was so great to see them.
My amazing sister Stephanie made this cake. She is literally supermom. She has a lot of experience making elaborate cakes for her kids birthday parties. She was such a big help to me for this party. She also organized a surprise baby shower for me at Olive Garden during my trip. She's so thoughtful.

Sage and I flew to Texas on May 6th and stayed for 5 days. It wasn't easy traveling by myself with her but it was worth it. My sister Stephanie drove down with her family from Kansas and Melanie came in from school. Everyone was there and it was great to spend time with my family. We had a birthday party for her and my 3 best friends from high school came too. It was a packed trip. My sisters and mom threw me a surprise baby shower at Olive Garden, my cousin Alex got baptized, we had Sage's party, and Mother's Day to celebrate. I wanted to visit one more time before having another baby. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Sage's 1st Birthday!!!

I made this pinata cake under the direction of my genius sister via phone. It was my first time doing a cake like this so I was pleased with the way it turned out. The pinata is a replica of the birthday invitations I made.
We had the kids break a pinata in the backyard. This boy, Justin ended up beheading the pinata. The kids had a good time.
Here we are before singing happy birthday.
Right after we sang happy birthday everyone clapped and Sage took that as her cue to entertain so she played peekaboo with everyone. How cute is our daughter?


I took way too long to post this but better late than never! We had 2 birthday parties for Sage. The first was here in PA at John's parents house and the second was with my family in Texas. Her birthday is Cinco de Mayo so we had a great time with a fiesta theme. We had yummy mexican food, a cake shaped like a pinata, and a great time with everyone. Here are some pictures from the first party in PA.
