Happy Birthday Lainee!!

Lainee is ONE!!! We just cannot believe how fast time has gone by. Lainee is such a character and such a sweet little girl! We sure are blessed to have her as part of our family.
We got to have a little birthday party for her. We call her our Lainee-bug, so of course, how could we resist a lady-bug theme! My mom helped make her cake. We had some family and friends over and ate cake and opened presents. Everyone was so wonderful to Lainee and she only got spoiled a little bit!




She had fun eating her cake, very timid at first and just when she was starting to dig in, she flipped it off of her high chair tray and right onto the dog!
The easiest way to clean her up...give her the hose and let her go!




Just a few shots of Lainee enjoying her new toys!



Thanks to everyone for their gifts and their love! Thanks for making Lainee's birthday such a special day! We love you Lainee!

Watch out Denver, Here comes Lainee!

We had the chance to go visit Zac's parents in Denver at the end of September. (Thanks Mark and Julie!) The trip included a lot of firsts for Miss Lainee, but she did so great! It was so fun to see them and be able to spend the weekend with them so Lainee could get to spend some time with them!
Her first "first" was the airplane. I was so nervous, because it was also a first for me to take a little one on the airplane. She loved the airport, lots of people to talk to and see. We made sure we had lots of books and lots of snacks. The snacks seemed to prove most effective!

While we were there we got to play, play, play! Grandpa wore her out!




We got to go to a Rockies game. Lainee made friends, like usual, and had lots of fun!

We also played and had a wonderful picnic and played at a great park. We had so much fun there! We were worried, but Denver survived a visit from Lainee!
