Today was my baby's 1st birthday. We had a marvelous day of swimming, going out for lunch and having a huge chocolate cake in celebration of my little guys day. He is such a blessing in our lives and Clint and I love him so much! Not a lot of you know, but we moved to St. George last year, four days after I gave birth to Jonah and started our new life. All in one week we had a baby, moved far away from our whole extended family and started our new business. There were times (a lot of times) that I thought we were crazy and that this move wouldn't work, plus I was emotional from just having Jonah. Crazy times I tell you, but it has been worth it, and with each year that Jonah grows we will have those fun memories and we will be able to know how long we have been in business together.
I wish I had better pictures of the event, I tried to make them look vintage because I like that look, but someday I will have a super cool camera, someday!
So, since it's our son's 1st birthday and the 1st anniversary of our full time business working together I thought it would be fun to give away a present to one of you! That's right, I am giving away a Tranquility layer cake. All you have to do to enter into my giveaway is leave a comment. That will give you one entry, if you would like 5 entries, blog about my giveaway on your own blog. I wish you all luck and you have until Saturday afternoon, I will announce the winner on Saturday night. Take care and good luck!

Happy Birthday Jonah!
Happy birthday and anniversary. You were very brave to move 4 days after giving birth. I moved the day after Christmas and that was crazy enough...
I feel your pain. I moved 4 days after my daughter was born and boy was that tough. The physical act of having to pack thing up while trying to recover from giving birth almost killed me, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and look how strong you are now! Your quilting inspires me to try new things. Thanks for sharing.
Judi...your little Jonah is just so precious! It looks like you had a wonderful day and yeah, for you, to be celebrating a full year of many new things!
First happy first birthday!
Second please enter me in the drawing, I am blogging about your give away as well.
Happy (belated) birthday to Jonah!
