Lulu's1st Birthday Party!

Our friend who has a baby a week older than Lulu let us borrow this fun toy and Lulu loves it! It plays music and the little bear on top dances.

Angie and her family came into town this week we took a trip to Costco and while we were there we of course had to get a hot dog, and we thought it would be fun to see Lulu's reaction to sourkruat and she ended up loving it and taking the little bowl from me to feed it to herself it was crazy how much she liked it.

So the day has come, Lulu is one! We had Lulu's birthday party on Saturday the day before her birthday! And it turned out perfect!
Here is Lulu in her birthday outfit at 52 weeks old. She was loving the water balloons and did not want to work with me.



I love that I have Kallie and Angie holding the sign up behind Lulu!
Thanks Kallie and Angie!
Angie made Lulu's cute crown, I love it!




During the party we played a couple of games, the first game was a ducky race down the stream in Cody's parents back yard. Everyone loved doing it and it worked out great! Cody did a great job running it. We also did a water balloon toss and that was fun and wet.

we had beach balls blown up for the kids to play with, it was fun to watch them play!

The Birthday Girl!

The Happy Birthday sign!
The Pom Pom Balls!

The cupcakes!

Lulu's Cake!

Then we sang happy birthday to Lulu and gave her cake, Lulu wasn't to sure about what was going on. When we first put her cake on her tray she wanted to touch the flame so both Cody and I told her no and she didn't like that so she started to cry.

Both Cody and I helped Lulu to blow out her candle!


She is like what is this!
Love her face!
And then she started to cry, She didn't want her cake. We took her out of the high chair to clam her down, this is what happens when you take a short nap and don't want to take another one.

So then I sat on the grass with her to see if she would eat her cake then. She would just touch it with one finger and then try to feed me the frosting and then she started to put it in my hand. She is a funny girl!

Then Lulu got busy on opening her presents! She did a pretty good job.

Lulu also had help from her friends on opening her gifts which was good or we would have been there for ever. Lulu got some really fun toys and cute clothes.
Lulu in the madness of wrappers and presents!

Happy Birthday My Sweet Little Lulu!

Lulu

This week Lulu and I have done a lot of running around getting things for her birthday, so she spent a lot of time in shopping carts and this is her favorite way to ride in the carts. She loves it she thinks that she is so cool and guess what she is pretty cute standing in there holding on as I push her around. She likes to bounce a little and she always has a big smile on her face.

We went out to dinner with some friends the other day to Five Guys (yummmmm) and Lulu had her first french fry.

Lulu loves her friend Elly and Elly loves Lulu it is so cute to see them together!

This is Lulu's favorite place to hang out, right under my night stand it is so cute to watch her crawl on there and just sit there and play with her toys and things that she knows she isn't suppose to play with!

Lulu and I went to Cody's soccer game and she had so much fun standing next to her stroller and cheering him on.

Lulu got a present from her Gammie and Bumpa for her birthday and it was this little red guy "Elmo" she loves Elmo and here she is giving him kisses!

Her Aunt Jess, Uncle Ryan, and Asher gave her this little Elmo phone that she loves to talk on it is so cute to watch her and listen to her talk on her phone.

(I don't know why this picture is like this)

Just one more week until this little girl is 1 years old!

Jess, Ryan and Asher go back to Turkey tomorrow and we had to get pictures of Lulu and Asher together one more time. I love this picture I love how Lulu has her finger in Asher's ear and I love his face (like what is this girl doing to me) and then I love Lulu's face blowing bubbles with her tongue she cracks me up! We will miss you guys!

Oregon and 50 Weeks Old

This week we were still in Oregon with my family. My Brother and his family left on Monday to head back to Colorado so before they left we got a picture of all the cousins together. They are wearing crowns that they made at Anna's 3rd birthday party.
I love how all of them are looking in all different directions Kelsie is the only one looking at my camera I guess that is what happens when you have more than one person taking pictures!

We went swimming at a wading pool that I went to as a kid. Lulu had fun sitting in her floaty, the water was shallow enough that she could reach the bottom of the pool with her feet so she was walking around the pool and loving it. I love Jaron in the back with his goggles on ready to go under.

Another day we just stayed at home and the kids went swimming in the wading pool Lulu wanted to wear these goggles on her head but every time we tried to put them on her eyes she took them right off.

Here is the whole gang I love Lulu's face it looks like she is one little mad mama but she is just talking, looks like Kelsie is looking at Lulu like what is she doing!

We went to Jaron's pack meeting where he got lots of rewards and badges for cub scout camp he was so proud and we were proud of him. Way to go Jaron.

We went Miniature Golfing and I tried to get a picture of her golfing but it was harder than I thought to have her hold the club.

So Lulu took it into her own hands to golf Lulu style.

She got it in the hole.
And out of the hole.

My sister took this picture and I love it!

Lulu got a present from Ma2 and Pa2 for her birthday and we couldn't wait to open it. She got Olivia books. She loves to read about Olivia the pig at night before bedtime. Lulu did a great job opening her present. She even wore her birthday suit! Thanks Ma2 and Pa2.

It's my mom's birthday today so we partied it up! Happy Birthday Mom!
Lulu turned 50 Weeks Old today and when we first started to take pictures she just sat there with no expression on her face and she even kind of looked like she was going to fall asleep. Then I changed her back drop and she seemed to like wake up and smile.

Tonight my friend from high school got married it was a great night, it was fun seeing my friends from high school.

They had dancing and Lulu loved it she wanted to be out on the dance floor all night and she loved shaking a leg and her arms it was so cute we tried to get it on camera but of course once we pull out the camera she wouldn't do it.

As we were getting ready to leave we were saying goodbye and Lulu kept looking over Cody's shoulder at something, it was a boa hanging on a rack. They had a little dress up area for people to dress up and take pictures with. So we of course had to join in the fun and Lulu thought it was fun to wear the boa, my favorite part is that Cody is wearing that Micky Mouse hand, it cracked me up!
