Our princess turned one last week. I remember her popping out like it was yesterday, ahh, paramedics and firefighters, Daddy catching her, the whole bit. And what a joy she has been to us all year with her sweetness and affection. She gives great hugs, has 6 teeth, has been walking since Easter Monday, she loves to watch the boys, and likes to take the tupperware out of the cupboard. She loves to cuddle and thinks R's antics are hilarious. She likes to carry a purse though even my smallest purse is gigantic for her. She is so light we can't turn her carseat forward yet, and her socks don't have treads because she is still wearing 3-6 month socks!
These first few pics are her dedication at church.
Below are the details of her princess party. We played pin the fire on the dragon, and the kids decorated their crowns. They got bubble guns instead of goodie bags, which was a big hit since it was sunny. And we had hot dogs, potato salad and chips for lunch. All in all it was low key, and fun.

Really it is a bit hard to stay at the computer when the weather is so great. Not to mention shift work and some health issues which all contributed to my lack of posts. Here is a bit of what I saw these last few weeks (mostly slathered in sunscreen reclining in my deck chair, I love having a backyard!)
Daddy created an outdoor shower by strapping the watering attachment from our hose to our backyard tree.
We also set the sprinkler up in the front yard to try and help the poor brown grass.
We had lunch at the park.
We had some cousin time for my birthday. I love how these guys play so well together. A cried when it was time to leave, she wanted to stay with her cousins, so cute!
We did a (very) little gardening.
And lastly these are my worker men, all decked out for some serious construction. Please click on this one to make it bigger, it totally makes me laugh!
