Kaylie's 1st Birthday Party

I know I said I would put up pictures from her birthday the week after, but things have gotten crazy around her. We now have a toddler who is walking around every where. No more putting her down by toys and her staying. 
Birthday Girl & her buddy Luke
Kaylie had her birthday party the Sunday after her birthday March 25th because we had a wedding on Saturday. It started at 11 a.m. and we had it at my parents' house...thank goodness for great parents! Love ya Mom and Dad. Zach grilled pork loins, and we had fruit, potato salad, veggie pizza, baked beans, veggies & dip and of course cake & ice cream.

Our guests included:  Grandpa & Grandma Boe, Aunt Melissa, Uncle Dennis, Katelyn, Elizabeth & Luke, 
Thank you Susie Woodley for the great cake.

Our Own Birthday Cake!
My New Big Pink Ball

We got lots of great gifts from everyone. We are definitely set for camping in May with a new lawn chair, new plate, cups & silverware, a new swimsuit & towel. We also got lots of new toys for the house, such as the Princess Little People, SUV Little People, Violet & new bath toys. We will also be very fashionable this summer with all the cute new clothes we got.  One gift that we have used a lot the last few weeks in the new bike trailer. We have taken about 3 bike rides a week in the last two weeks. It is great and Kaylie loves it. We even went to a near by park the other day and had a picnic; it was so nice to be able to store the picnic stuff in the trailer and go. 

Thank you for everyone that helped us celebrate Kaylie's birthday at her party or not! We love you all and our little girl is so blessed to have so many great people love her. 
Always Climbing



P.S. Here is a video of Kaylie walking, she has been walking pretty good for the last two weeks and we finally got it on video. Enjoy!
