Happy Birthday

WOW!!!! Can you believe that our beautiful baby is one? How the time flies when you are having fun. We made a movie for her first birthday with all of the pictures from the past year and she has grown so much! We are so blessed to have such an amazing, beautiful, full of life, sassy, little angel in our lives. She teaches us to have a lot of patients and how to enjoy life every second of every day.
We let her have a Tangled cake for her party (that she picked out for herself). She loves that movie!!! She would watch it over and over and over again if I would let her! She also just started crawling up the stairs.....scary! She knows how to go up but not how to go down. We also gave her a portable dvd player that she can take and watch movies with in the car. This has saved our lives when we are driving. She hates the car!




I truly can't believe how big she is! We love her so much. I guess I never really understood the love that a mother has for her child until she came into my life. She makes me so happy and I miss her every time I'm not with her! Adrian is such a great dad and always helps (unless sports center is on) me with her. They are so funny together! I think sometimes he wishes she was a boy that he could play sports with. I always tell him that in due time we will have a boy:). When we went shopping for her birthday presents, he would pull the legos and footballs off the shelves and tell her she wanted them. Mahal is blessed to have such a wonderful father!
We are looking forward to the rest of the summer ahead and all of the fun things that we have planned. We are most excited to watch Mahal as she continues to grow! We love her and have such a great family!

Moab and the "Bitter Beer face"

Earlier this month, we had a wonderful trip to Moab. It was the first time I had ever been there (as well as Mahal) and it was really fun! We were able to take my Mom and Flint's Rhino down and climb the awesome red rocks. Thanks for that Mom and Flint! We camped, went hiking, ate at some really good restaurants and had lots of ice cream! I don't think that Mahal loved the Rhino as much as Adg and I did but we still had fun!
The "Bitter Beer" face......... or lets call it the Popeye the Sailor man face. I told Adrian that I didn't want Mahal to know what the "Bitter Beer" face was this early in life!:) She loves to pull this face at everyone. Especially me when I ask her not to touch or to get down from something. We just love her SO MUCH!
