HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY GRACE!!

On her birthday "proper" at Alive at Five downtown.

Ginger comes to visit!!

Grace on her new radio flyer bike. Oh, and wearing her new helmet. Kinda reminds me of spaceballs....?

Our house decorated for her party. She is sitting on the floor staring at her balloons!

This is Reid. She is giving him a kiss.

Ginger in her party outift!

Grace in her party outfit!

Thank you to everyone who came to her birthday party. We wish everyone could have made it! But I have a feeling that she will be celebrating these first few birthdays multiple times...

baby Grace

Okay one more video from the past year. I know I'm getting nostalgic, but this is too cute. I think she is 2 or 3 months old here. So smiley!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY GRACE!!

We can't believe that you are one today, sweet girl. We have enjoyed every minute with you and feel truly blessed that you are ours. We love you so much!
Here is a look into the past...look how much you have changed and grown!

Happy Mother's Day

Here is Grace giving me my first Mother's Day card. She even drew on it. But mostly she just tried to eat the colored pencils.


I got a hammock! Grace thought the box was the coolest part of the gift.



Here we are with our new ride! Grace is in the car ready to go....



A mother's day hike...first time for me to carry Grace in my new child carrier. It was so comfortable, and she had a blast!


A pre-birthday celebration.


I know there already is a pic like this on the blog, but I just HAD to put this one on. I think she likes the whip cream.

Gigi and Pop-pop Come to Town

The grand-units came to town for a quick pre-birthday visit. They were invited to the birthday party, but wanted time all to themselves with the kidd0. Who can blame them really?
