Ward Luau Party awhile back

someone said she was a boy at the party, i guess the blue swim suit doesn't help but i think its cute!


this poster said something about smoking not being hot and that i should take a picture with him instead so i did.

I cleaned my closet!

I tore out all of my old closet cuz it had no space and i put in a closet maid. i had bought it last year before Makayla was born but it hadn't worked cuz shes got an odd shaped closet. And here

is the before and after

Makaylas birthday

she learned how to share from her mom
!




Opa drove up from salt lake to wish her a happy day and she loves the "ice bear" she got!



More cake! not moms idea

alot of the family

its my party and i'll cry if i want to

If Makayla wasn't wearing her hat it would have been a perfect picture

Look how spoiled!

Makaylas day turned out great, I was very concerned that it would be a let down (wierd who gets worried over birthdays?) but you know it really was a wonderful day. we had a friends party at lorrin farr park and then later on we had a family party and family showed up WOW! She got awsome gifts, thanks everyone for being so kind and making it a fun day for her and us.

Makaylas signs

so this video doesn't have sound but its of Makayla signing at lagoon. We were asking her to say the words and she would sign some of them back along with saying the ones she knew. she says Mom (only she uses her whole hand up to her face) and Cracker which is her tapping her elbow. She also knows how to sign milk, more and food. She is soo smart!

a year in pictures

so our baby is turning one tomorrow and i dont know where the time went. its been a crazy year and lots has changed since she came into this world. i thought it would be neat (mainly for me) to get the pics from almost a year to birth to see how much she has changed so here it is!
