Merrik's first birthday party

Merrik's first birthday party I felt was a huge success. We had the party at Baseline park.. he loved playing at the park, eating his cake, riding in his new truck and playing with all of his friends! We had all of the kids bring a riding toy and then they got to decorate it and ride in a parade! We are so blessed to have had so many people to share this with!

Merrik's Birthday

Merrik woke up on the morning of his birthday to his FAVORITE thing.... BALLOONS!!!!! He was more excited about his balloons than anything ... well maybe not more than his cake! We took him outside to ride in his new Cozy Truck, then grandma came up to visit and help with the party the next day so we took him to the mall to ride the train, played toys and then took him to get his favorite meal... pizza! He was so happy all day and knew that it was his special day! We love him sooo very much! Can't believe he's already 1!!! Where does the time go? He has been such an adventure for us this first year. He has such a great personality and is so loving. He is such a climber and gets into EVERYTHING! He loves to play with any sports ball or drive anything he can get his little hands on! Excited to see what this next year holds for him!

Easter Morning

The Easter bunny left a big mess of easter grass and eggs in our house! He brought Macie just what she wanted A PRINCESS FISHING POLE! and Merrik his favorite thing CHOCOLATE! We had so much fun opening our baskets and seeing what the Easter bunny brought for us!

Macie is so much fun! She is full of personality! She LOVES popsicles, pet shops and her family! She is loving being a big sister and having a friend around all the time! She is so full of life! She still HATES to get out of bed in the mornings and has become a little moody (I've heard that's all girls) . I love spending time with her and watching her grow and learn!
