Meet My Pals

They are fun to hang around!
This is Sophie...she's my 'twin' sister, just 3 months older than me.

This is Jared...he is Sophie's older brother. He's mommy's friend.
She loves to play with Jared.

Sophie and Jared came to my house to watch Veggie Tales
and eat fruit loops! We had lots of fun!

This is Miss Laura...she watches me for an hour and a half on Friday mornings
when Mommy and her friends talk about books.

This is Adia...she is my friend in Lynden, WA.
We watch American Idol at her house sometimes.

This is Kalanie...she is Adia's little sister. She is very little. I have to be very careful when I am around her. She likes to lay on the blanket and laugh too. She's cute.

This is Daddy with Adia and me. We are playing on the couch.
Daddy is trying to watch American Idol I think.

These are the Ferrins...Miss Kari, Sarah and Caleb.
They came to our house for lunch one day. Sarah and Caleb liked to hold me.

These friends are...Miss Natalie, Miss Whitney and Miss Whitie.
We are all at a basketball game. They are such funny friends.

I love my friends and my friends love me.
This is just how God meant for life to be!
I love you friends!

I'm What? I'm ONE?!?!

So what you are telling me, is that I am ONE today?
OK...here's what I did on my FIRST birthday...

Mommy took me for a swim.
I love the water, though it was a bit chilly.


I played around at home with Mommy.

I "talked on" Mommy's cell phone.

We got bundled up and went for a walk when the sunshine came out.


Oh, and did I tell you...I'm ONE!


I got pretty sleepy, so i took a loooooong nap.

Then daddy brought me home a fun present...
A Balloon!!! Now these are neat!

While I was sleeping, mommy built a "cupcake tower"!

My sweet friend, Sophie, came over to have some!

My Auntie Sam came too!

Sophie's mommy, Miss Meg, her brother, Jared & her daddy, Mr. Brad
all came to celebrate too! We had so much fun!

Mommy & Daddy sure love me.

Oh, and have I mentioned...I'm ONE!!! YEAH!!!

We lit my birthday candle and then everyone blew and blew until it went out.
Thanks for the help friends!

And then there was THE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE (with pink icing)!!!



I wasn't so sure at first, but man, I could get used to this stuff!
Especially smashing it and throwing it on the floor and spreading it all over me!

The messiest I've ever been...should I have a bath?
NAAAAH...it's time for the gifts!

So we opened cards and gifts together.

Thank you everyone for the gifts you gave & sent to me.


My friend sophie played 'peek' with the bag.
She's so funny.

I talked on the phone lots too on my birthday. Mimi called me at breakfast
& Grandpa Sandberg called at lunch & Grandma Porter called right before bed!

And as they say, "All good things must come to an end."
I am very sad here that I have to go to bed,
but just a few seconds after this photo was taken...I was FAST asleep!

What a great idea to celebrate birthdays! We had so much fun together!
What a day...only 364 days left until I get to celebrate again, right Mom?

Extra Information:
Today, March 8, 2007, I went to get my 12 month shots (yowzers)
I weighed in at a whopping...19 lbs, 6 oz
and I am 28 inches long
I have one and a half teeth in my mouth (on the bottom)
And one of the gummiest smiles around!
I'm a growing girl!

Love and miss you all!
Big and baby hugs from all of us.
