Just turned one, shout HOORAY!

Saturday was Solana's first birthday!!! 
Birthday's are really important to us in this family, we make a big deal out of them. If we could have celebrated it all weekend, we would have. But instead we packed her birthday full of fun things to do. 
I can't believe how fast time has gone, and  I am even more surprised that in one year our little baby has grown and changed into this little talking, giggling, and running around the house crazy toddler. It has been the best year so far. Thanks Solana for being the greatest part our lives.
Happy Birthday!

I can't believe how much she's grown!

I'm a big girl now.

So off to the zoo we went.






"I know this is fake guys, I am looking at real elephants right now."


The best Godparents in the whole world. She loves her Heather and Matt



Oh surprise! It's a goat!
Oh maybe I will go pet it.



Aunt Sarah saved the day! It was hot and humid and we were all sweatin'. But Sarah found some shaved ice to cool off the birthday girl, and boy did she suck it down!




We had a 'Little Miss Sunshine" party.


All she wanted to do was play in the yard the whole time.




"Thanks Grandpa Ross for my new pink chair, it's just my size"


It took her awhile to love opening her presents. She was so impatient, (We don't where she got that from, lol) she just wanted to see what was inside after we opened it for her.


"I love my new pal Violet"


Banana split ice cream cake anyone?
I am embarrassed to say, but we actually took her cupcake sampling the week before her birthday, I just wanted to make sure she liked it. Well I am glad we did, cause she had no interest in it. So Adam suggested an ice cream cake because she LOVES cold things (she is always drinking my smoothies) and she ended up loving her ice cream cake, hooray!


This is a face of pure enjoyment
"Get that cake in my mouth!"


"oh a spoon is so much better"


She actually enjoyed feeding us some cake too. 
She loves to share!



"Well that was great!"
"Happy birthday to me!"

Oh Adam, she's precious!! Last time I saw her, she was still just a round thing in CheyAnn.

But I get the message: good lookin' mom and dad = great lookin' baby. Thanks for sending me the link! Keep it coming :)
