Yee-Haw::Rhemi Lu is 2!

I cannot believe that my baby girl is going on 2! Where has the time gone?? Just yesterday she was laying on Corey's chest while he studied for finals, crawling, babbling on and making raspberries, teething, taking her first steps, and talking.  Now she is Miss. Independent & has so much to say (in her "Chinese-gibberish" language she speaks).  My little Hot Mess is growing up...tear!

We decided on going with a cowgirl theme for her party. With her LOVE for animals, a petting zoo just seemed perfect.  As the big day approached, we had a 40% chance of rain. YIKES! Because the petting zoo was going to be set up outside, it would have to have been cancelled :(  Well my prayers were answered...not only did we not have rain, but we had the most beautiful blue skies. Couldn't have planned for a more picture perfect day! 

Thanks to all of our family & friends who helped celebrate.  Rhemi Lu had the BEST time! We couldn't have done it without you guys. Hope everyone had a great time!!

XOXO,

 The Penedo's

I decided on creating an email account for Rhemi. I thought that this would be the perfect time capsule for her to look at & cherish when she gets older.  These notes were with each invite.

Cannot say enough about the cake! First of all-it came out ADORABLE!! Secondly, it tasted GREAT too!! Couldn't ask for a better combo, right?! The cake designer based the cake off of Rhemi's birthday outfit.  I really wanted the Cowgirl theme to be girly.  Hard to balance when all western items lean more towards being masculine. She knocked it out of the park :) 

THANKS KERRI!!
