Soccer

Isaiah has been playing soccer again. He loves it!! I haven't been able to go since that is Hope's nap time but...since my Mom is here I got to go!

Makenzie was in town too...so she joined in the fun!

Isaiah with his friend Jacob and Maki!

The cake...

she never ate it just mushed the frosting around in her hand...but she still made a mess.
Hope with her Godfather...Uncle Randy.

Hope looking through all her presents.

Thank you for all coming to celebrate with Hope for her first birthday. And thank you all for the wonderful gifts. As you can tell, Hope is finally almost over her stranger anxiety and lets almost anyone hold her...yeah!

Our Family

Dave needed a new picture for his cell phone screen since he is traveling a little. So he took this one. I thought it turned out pretty good for a crazy morning!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!

Can you believe that Hope is already 1?? I can't believe it! (Actually she will be one in 17 minutes...ha ha....she was born at 6:50pm!)

Happy Birthday Hope. You are such a sweet little girl with a never ending smile. We love you so much! We love every minute with you and love to see you change and grow everyday.

We are celebrating Hope's birthday on Saturday so we will post lots of pictures then...especially the cake ones! :)

Seriously

This week has been crazy. We scheduled a lot of appointments this week (well in advance) and almost every single one has called to change the date or time. It has been so weird and requires me to be flexible!!

Seriously all three allergist appointments, the cleaning lady (to clean for Hope's birthday party because I don't have time), and a moving company coming for a quote!!

Has this happened to anyone else???

Update on Hope's Walking

Well...she turned the corner and is now walking more than crawling. She started on Easter Sunday! She is still a little wobbly but very persistent on walking everywhere.

We must be doing something right...

Hope is so adorable and sweet. She has learned to pray with us at mealtimes. We always say "lets pray Jesus" and she holds her hands together. Today...when I put her in her highchair for lunch I started to feed her...and she put her hands together all on her own and grunted at me to pray. She is so smart! Then after we are done praying she waits for all the kisses!! (That is our family ritual...we kiss everyone after we pray!)

Although sometimes she gets the words "pay" and "pray" mixed up like when we are at Target and I ask Isaiah to help me pay...she prays! Ha ha!

Isaiah on the other hand has been fighting praying. He yells "no pray" or while we are praying he yells "Amen!" At least he still waits for the kisses!

**UPDATED**
I should add that Isaiah does say please, no thank you, and bless you when you sneeze! So he is not that rude :)
