Allie-Ann's 1st Birthday Celebration, rattle snake and weekend number one of birthday

We spent Labor Day weekend with Kyle's parents and had Allie-Ann's first birthday with them, next weekend we have another birthday with my side of the family. We had a great time with Kampa and Grandmama opening present, eating cupcakes and spending time outdoors. Kyle and I went hiking at Crowder's peak on Labor Day. We went on a five mile hike, and boy, was that great! Just being outdoors and hiking again was wonderful, however, we were on the trail for just a mile in when I saw a rattle snake on the trail. Yes, an Eastern Diamond-back Rattle Snake!! I managed to push Kyle out of the way because he was about to step on him. It's crazy, this is the second rattle snake I have seen. They say it's pretty rare to encounter a rattle snake. This does not make me happy. Luckily it just moved off the trail and we were able to continue. So, check out the picture below. I also put some pictures of Allie-Ann with friends at a party we went to on Saturday night, she had a great time despite having three teeth coming in at one time. She has not been a happy camper. We also had cupcakes for her birthday and you can see how she just loves sweets. Thanks Grandmama for making them for her!!

Yummy Cupcakes!!!
