Days To Remember G's Blog

We had Maggie Beth's birthday party this past Saturday. She enjoyed her
cupcake again and enjoyed opening her presents. She is so cute. She
enjoyed being held by so many friends. Thanks to everyone who was able
to come and celebrate our first year with our sweet baby girl!

Maggie Beth turned 1 today! I really cannot believe that she is one
already! She is growing up so fast. I love the way she reaches her
hand out and curls her fingers up these days when she wants something,
like a "Please give me that" sign. She is such a sweet baby girl and
God has truly blessed us. She is my serious child, but it was super
impressive to watch her dig into the cupcake because the boys when they
were 1 had no desire to even have much icing. She really enjoyed
playing in her food............which I really should not have been too
surprised because she loves sitting in the grass and dirt outside and
does not mind being barefoot outside either. Where the boys were total
opposites there. It is so neat to see her little personality and her
little wispy hairs. She is such a precious gift from God and I praise
the Lord that she is one today!

This morning Hezekiah had his end of the year school program. He still
has classes through next Thursday, but they sang their songs and were
presented with their class certificates. He did really well singing and
doing the motions to the songs. He is a funny little guy, he made us
laugh a lot.

Here are our pictures of the kids helping wash the car the other morning.

Here is Maggie Beth in her Ecuadorian dress that Page picked out for her
while he was there on the mission trip. Eli adores his little sister,
so does Hezekiah but he was too busy playing to get in the picture.
Here is also a picture of Maggie Beth in her swimming pool. She loved it!

We went to the zoo on Monday morning and I am really not sure if I want
to share this information or not because I think it is my new secret
thing to do with my children early Monday mornings.........but I will
share just in case there are friends out there who would like to meet us
there. We get to the zoo and go around the rain forest area first and
then at 10 o'clock we went to the new splash lagoon. WE HAD IT ALL TO
OURSELVES FOR 45 minutes.........no lie! All I can say is, "My children
HAD A BLAST!" It was so much fun. A little chilly I though for Maggie
Beth.....but the boys loved it. We had been to the new area, but till
Monday I thought it was always too cold to get in. So Monday mornings
may have a new routine for us now! Here are the pics! Enjoy!
