I created...

...sand & water table play areas for you this weekend. Can't go a weekend without a project :) Dad was working hard at the boat show, we went to visit him & take him some lunch & then came back to the house to play. I got rid of our old outdoor table, but decided we could use the benches for your tables. I added some rubbermaid containers, 1 for the water/sand & the other to store the toys, a little paint & voila your new play stations. Although it's a bit hot for anything outside right now, you love to play in the water & they're in the shade so lots of fun for you. Love you my little buddy xo

Happy Birthday to you!

July 18th will forever be my favorite day...it's when our little girl was welcomed into the world with lots of love. You arrived quickly & with ease, calm, happy & beautiful...we fell in love instantly. Our love grows for you every day & Jeff & I are so blessed to be your parents. Happy 1st birthday to our sweet, silly, mellow little Maebri...we love you to the moon & back, couldn't ask for anything more! xo 

Your 1st birthday party...

...was so much fun! Maebri's Onederland. You did so great, woke up really happy from your nap & went until 8:30 that night. I think you liked all of the kids & excitement. You dug into your cake like a champ, slowly but surely you squished your hand into the icing & then cake. It was carrot cake that your mimi made for you, wanted it to be a little healthy & you seemed to really like it. You had it all over, on your face, in your hair & clothes. We had lunch & then opened gifts after you got a bath. We had a photo booth where people could get dressed up & then get their pic taken & it was a hit. We gave away Alice in Wonderland books as gifts, played the movie during the party, had coloring books & the overall theme really came together. It rained, so no pool party or croquet, but it didn't matter we still had a good time. We are so thankful that our friends & family came out to celebrate you & how special you are to each & every one of us. xo

In process...

...are some fun projects. Your bday party is this weekend, can't wait to hang out with everyone, it's going to be so much fun! I can't believe you are going to be one, we are so lucky to have you, you are one cool, mellow, sweet, funny & special girl : ) I am also working on making you a sand & water table where you can play & explore...you love exploring, moving things from one place to another. I got this cool old printers drawer from aunt shirley so i put all of our special little things in it. you also met a bunny at craig's for the first time, lily, you loved her, gave her a hug & tried to rub your face on her fur like you do with all your favorite stuffed animals, was so cute. We also had a great time at the lake on 4th of july, we went swimming & watched fireworks which you stayed up to watch & were fascinated. More to come from the party : ) lovey xo
