Ally’s birthday was last month and I’m just now getting around to sharing her birthday party pictures! I thought December was going to be pretty light as far as JFP work was concerned, but I was wrong! Anyways, for all you readers that love personal posts and a glimpse into my life, I think you’ll especially enjoy this post!
As you may or may not know, Ally LOVES Barney! She started liking Barney over a year ago and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change anytime soon. She has a few Barney stuffed animals, Barney books and of course lots of Barney videos. We try to limit her intake to no more than two Barney shows per day because if it were up to Ally, she’d be watching Barney 24/7! So it was more than appropriate to throw her a weekend of purple-filled Barney love for her birthday parties. ๐
LOVE this picture! My hubs and my baby girl. ๐
Barney decor! Thanks to my friend Jenna for giving us her leftovers from her daughter’s second birthday!
Ally thought she was helping daddy blow up the balloons…
And then she tried carrying them all at one time! Such a determined little girl!
I hardly ever have any pictures of myself on this blog, so there’s a handful included in this post! Please excuse the image quality of the next series…Brian doesn’t know how to focus quite yet!
The first Barney birthday party was spent with the Fikes. They drove all the way up from Virginia to share in Ally’s special weekend…thanks guys! ๐
Love at first sight…haha! ๐
My friend Laura baked Ally TWO Barney birthday cakes and boy did she do a great job!! She pretty much nailed Barney’s face and figure, don’t ya think??
Ally was pretty excited about her Barney birthday cake!
Family picture! And finger in the mouth….
Still has the finger in the mouth! Oh well, I guess it’s festive. ๐
Uncle Jason, Aunt Heather and Mamaw and Granddad Fike!
Ally taught Uncle Jason how to play “ready go”…and believe me, this is NOT a game you want to play often! ๐
Day two of the Barney birthday parties was spent with my family in PA…
Ally got into unwrapping gifts this year!
With Mimi Vilella!
And Barney cake #2! Laura, you did such a great job! Everyone was sooo impressed! THANK YOU!!!
Blowing out the candle with Pappy!
Can you tell what Brian is thinking here??? “Jess, I think we have enough pictures already. Please stop.” Seriously, he married a photographer! Actually, I wasn’t a photog when we got married, so maybe that’s not a fair statement. ๐
Me and my bug…who wanted to eat my cake and not smile for the camera!
And after a weekend filled with Barney and birthday cake, we came back to Morgantown to a relaxing and quiet apartment…
The end. ๐
Scenes and thoughts from deep creek
Well hey now! I thought for sure it had been more than seven months since I blogged last! Wish I could do it moreโฆand plan to as soon as the new JFP website comes out.
Iโm not sure Iโm starting anything consistent here, just sharing some random thoughts and scenes from Deep Creek on this random Wednesdayโฆ

Jessica is amazing and she made us feel so comfortable! Having her capture our wedding was like having my best friend with me for every moment! Jessica's photos are fun, whimsical, and sophisticated!
We are not a stoic couple and did not want posed (or trying-too-hard) photos! Jessica was able to capture our personalities and the elegance of the day! I can't stop looking at our photos!

The best decision I could have made for my wedding was hiring Jessica Fike as a photographer! I was in a wedding prior that she was a photographer for and seeing how organized and easy and strategic she was to work with is what convinced me! She makes you feel so comfortable and helps teach you how to pose and smile and look so natural! She keeps you on schedule throughout your day and captures so much emotion in her photos. She is worth every penny plus more!
