A Few Recent Pics...

I've been pretty busy since I turned one! Check out what I've been up t0 lately...

I love playing in the playhouse Grandpa Mark got me for my birthday. I like to go in and out the door and open and close the windows. Auntie Jen got me this cool princess car. I like to stand on the seat...

The beauty of living in Southern California is that you can be in Ugg boots and a beanie one day, and playing in the hose in your bathing suit the next! It was almost 90 degrees at my house last week, so mommy and daddy let me play in the hose. It sure was fun!

Gramma and Grampa got me a sand and water table for my birthday. Caysen and I play with this table every day! We love to mix the sand and the water together. Caysen uses my play spoons to eat the sand...he's pretty silly!

Gramma and I share a birthday week...our birthdays are just two days apart! We had a bbq for Gramma's birthday at our house. Gramma made all the kids ice cream cone cupcakes. They were sooooooo yummy!!!

Here's a couple more birthday pictures. These were taken on my actual birthday. Mommy and daddy let me eat another cake...this one was chocolate!!! They sang "Happy Birthday" to me and then we all shared my yummy cake. I had a great first birthday!

Time sure flies when you're having fun...

Can you believe it??? TODAY I'M ONE!!!!

Here are a few pictures from Madeline's first birthday party last weekend. She had such a wonderful party. The kids had a ball running around the yard at Nanna's house and playing in the HUGE bouncy house daddy got for the party. All of Maddie's "people" were at the party...Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Randolph came out from Thousand Oaks, Great-Grampy and Mary Lou drove in from Sun City, and Grandpa Mark came all the way from Colorado to celebrate this special day with our angel. All of Maddie's closest friends came out to party...Caysen, Izzy, Kayleigh, Owen, Gavin, her cousins Randy and Clara...just to name a few! The weather was gorgeous and we couldn't have asked for a better day. Madeline LOVED her cake and playing in the bouncy house with mommy and daddy. She even took a few swings at the pinata...and had a ball picking through the candy with all the kids. I think her favorite part of the whole day was sliding down the big slide all by herself!

Madeline - you have grown into such a beautiful, funny, smart, energetic little girl. It seems like just yesterday we brought you home from the hospital...you were so tiny and we were so in love. We couldn't imagine that you would one day be the BIG GIRL you are today. We love to watch you play, listen to you talk, watch you EAT (you are SUCH a good eater), and cuddle you on occasion when you are sleeping (you are so good at sleeping in your own bed, mommy and daddy miss cuddling you in our bed while you sleep!) You give the VERY BEST HUGS anyone could ever ask for...seriously, you have melted the hearts of many! You will be a WONDERFUL big sister someday. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH and thank God every day for bringing you into our lives. Every day we spend with you is a blessing and we can't wait to see what new and exciting adventures you will take us on this year! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUGER PIE!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Caysen's Un-Birthday

My best buddy Caysen had his first birthday party today. He was born on February 29th, so he really didn't have an official first birthday this year, but we celebrated anyway! His grandpa built him a sandbox in the backyard and we had so much fun playing in the sand. Caysen loves to eat sand! It was a pirate party...check out our matching pirate outfits! I wonder if Caysen will wear a tutu to my party...?
