My baby turned 1!


It happened.
Lexi had her first birthday.
I can't believe one year ago today I was in the hospital holding my 
tiny new baby....how has it already been a year?
She has grown SO much this year. She is so much fun and has 
such a sweet personality. 

Everyone loves her and she loved everyone.
I am so grateful to be her mommy.

She makes us happier than we ever thought possible.
We can't explain how much we love her.

***These pictures are a bit out of order...but you will get the idea...
P.S. be prepared for a LOT of pictures :)



We started the celebration on Sunday with a big birthday party.
Friends, aunts, uncles, grandparents, great grandparents and cousins came :)
It was so much fun to get together with everyone.
We appreciate all of the love and support we get from friends and family.
we really are SO lucky to have you all in our lives!

Lexi loved the attention and was darling the whole party.
She went to everyone and gave them lots of loves.


Nanny B got her the best little gift. A swing to hang in the tree.
I love this picture :) she was loving it! 



About to hit the pinata...

Go Lexi!


She got to try some birthday cake for the first time.
She loved the frosting and didn't want me to take it away.
She knew just what to do when we gave it to her...she dug right in!

This little birthday girl started to get tired at the end of the party. 
She was still so sweet and took turns laying on both nanny's shoulders.

Sitting with all of her fun gifts from her party :)


She will be walking in no time thanks to nanny Natalie!

We went for a zoo day on her real birthday.
She loved looking at all of the animals.
She kept saying WOW.
The polar bear was her favorite!







When the little animals would come next to the glass she would giggle and try to pet them...
too bad she couldn't really touch them. It was so darling to watch her excitement!

After the zoo we met up with Nanny B and uncle Cam for dinner and a park visit.

I am so glad I have such an energetic husband :) he keeps us laughing!




More presents from nanny and mom and dad!




These last few were from the party on Sunday.
THANK YOU to everyone who came to celebrate Lexi's special day with us.
It really turned out great and it's all because so many of you came.
WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!








My little brother Stephen came home from his mission on Saturday and Lexi already loves him :)
I have been waiting to introduce them for a good long year now and it's like they have always known each other!

I love this picture so much! :)

Lexi had a great first birthday and got lots of LOVE and generous gifts from everyone.
Thank you for making it so special for her.

It means so so much to us!
LOVE YOU ALL!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS!
