This was her......

And today......

We celebrated MJ's first birthday the day before the Jackmans headed back to the Dominican Republic.

Here is the cake we allowed her to devour.....

And here is the cake I made for the occasion for the rest of us to devour....

Time has gone so fast since she has been in our family. We love her soo much and we can't imagine how life would be without her. A lot more dull for one, for she keeps us all entertained! She is at such a fun stage right now (I think I have said that about all the stages to date!). Her wonderful personality is shining through in all the things she's doing. She loves to listen to music, be in the water, show off, dance, and eat string cheese. We look forward to many more magical memories with our little MJ.

I am putting together a digital scrapbook for her first year. Here are a few of the pages I have put together:

A month with the Jackmans

We had a great time while the Jackman's were here for their month long visit.


Here are a few pics of the fun times we had while they were here:

Can you spot 2 things out of place in the picture?

The boys of the family were able to go on a hiking/fishing trip up to the Wind Rivers in Wyoming.

In the mean time, the girls of the family were at home having just as much fun! We made watches, watched movies, went shopping and ate yummy food.

Thanks to the Jackmans for such a great month!
