"Hi, is your mom or dad home? I want to talk to them about your landscaping as I can do some trimming for cheap."
Rewind. Is my mom or dad home? I know I look young, but c'mon guy.
Number one: Our landscaping hasn't been touched since we moved in 8 months ago. We have poison ivy growing up the outside of our home. There are like 5 plants total out here. It looks awful. Our landscaping certainly needs a lot of work, but a "little trimming" isn't really at the top of our list.
And two: I'm turning 26 this week. And that little baby crawling on the floor next to me, yeah she's mine, not my little sister.
Regardless of how old (or young) I look, I can't believe I am more than halfway through my twenties! Maybe that guy will come back when I am 36 and ask me the same thing. Wouldn't that be nice?!
Twenty-five was definitely a great year with a lot of change. I was pregnant. We bought a house. And last but certainly not least, Evelyn was born. Pretty good year I'd say.
Celebrating my birthday after giving birth also gives me a new perspective on this day. Twenty-six years ago my mom and dad held me in their arms for the first time as I breathed my first breath, my day of birth. That's pretty cool to think about. I bet my birthday is a special day for them as well, just as Evelyn's birthdays will always be for Ryan and I.

To celebrate my 26th year of life and first birthday as a mommy, we went to the zoo. The weather could not have been more perfect. I captured some of our day below.
