She's 1

5-24-08

My baby is 1 year old now. I've said it before, but time really does fly by. I can't believe it's been a year. Over a year. She turned one on May 14th. We had a small party for her last Sunday. I believe her gums have been hurting her so she wasn't the happiest little girl, but she really got into her cake. Not so much on the presents yet though. I opened up some pj's from Aunt Bonnie & Uncle Clinton and that is all she carried around...because they were on a hanger. She was tuckered out after her presents...she went down for a nap right after opening them (because I did all the opening.....)

"Happy Birthday to You"

I had to give her a little taste of frosting first to get her started
to know she could eat it and not just play with it.

She got a UW-La Crosse cheer-leading outfit from her God-parents,
Corey & Stacey and their boys, Liam & Elliot.

There's those pj's she LOVED!

Still got the pj's

Her new bikini from grandma Darla

Some of the boy cousins playing ball - Corey, Lincoln, Liam & Luke
I really like this photo.

Chloe got a ball pit from Aunt Serene & Uncle Daryn, but I didn't get it blown up for a few days. This photo is of Chloe after her nap discovering that she got a new toy.

"Mom, what do I do and how do I get out?"

Just this morning Lincoln thought that maybe he should try it out too.

I feel like I should explain the beard.....our church is turning 150 years old in July and we are having a celebration this summer. There is a beard growing contest going on at church and there are about 20 guys in it. It started Feb. 10th and is done next Sunday, June 1st with a beard judging after church. Lincoln's dad and Clinton are doing it too. Grant was, but shaved it off about half way through. I am ready for Lincoln to shave it. I liked it and thought it looked really nice on him when it looked trimmed. Now I am ready for it to go away. :)
