Birthday..baptism and.....sports!

It has been a big month around here for Saileen.  She had a birthday, a birthday party for the first time, started soccer and she got baptized!!  I think I am still in denial that she could be that old.  But regardless of what I think, she continues to grow up.  She is such a thoughtful, helpful, smart, and wonderful little girl.  I just love the person she is and and the person that she is becoming! 
Birthday party friends!!  She had so much fun!!
Anxiously awaiting the cup cakes!! 
 Her first soccer game, the girls watching from the sidelines!
On the field.....when did she get so big???
 A very special day when she got baptized. 
It was a wonderful day that I hope she will rememeber forever!!

Our Family on her special day. 
It has been a great fun filled and at stimes stressful month. 
I am glad we were able to make so many new memories and loved every minute of it!
Next on the list......my Sisters wedding and having a baby!!  48 days left!!!

Spring fun!

For our spring break we went to the zoo and the aquarium with some friends that came down from Idaho. It was really fun and we were blessed to have really good weather!! YAY!! I am a wimp when it comes to being cold!
The Peacock was really cool! The feathers are huge and really pretty! The girls were fascinated!


Daddy with the crew in front of the Elephants!
Huge turtle!! She talked about this guy for hours afterward!
With the Giraffe, you can get scary close. Derek could reach out and touch it!!
Apparently they have a purple tongue so it doesn't get sunburned....The girls told me that...never knew that. They love watching Wild Kratts....and it shows!!
We probably watched the Giraffe the longest, the were so huge and so close and really cool to watch!
She finagled her way into the stroller to take a load off from walking!!
Little lady did surprisingly well with us hauling her everywhere for days!
Isn't she getting big!! She turned 8 this week, I will do a post on that later!
On the train with their buddy Blaze!
At the Aquarium!! She was so Excited to see the Penguins!! Her favorite!!!
Nasty snake contemplating how to eat them!!
Their faces say it all! There was a huge Boa in there. Yuck I hate snakes!!!
Penguin encounter!!
Almost as big as an emperor penguin, can you tell she is excited!!


They were showing off for the crowd by swimming right in front of them!
In the otter cave! Not really, but close!
Azlyn and the girls sitting on the frog. I am really glad frogs don't get that big!!
Here is a good smile from the little one! I think she can sense that something is about to change. She has been super clingy...to me....(hard when your belly practically pushes her off, which makes her mad) She has been throwing fits and crying A LOT!! but she just turned 2 also, so who knows what brought it on. It is good to see this sweet smile of hers!!
This is the view I see.....bigger and bigger!!!
I measured 2 weeks ahead at my last appointment. Oh boy!! Literally, this boy is taking up all the room I can spare and then some! 9 weeks left!!!
I can't believe its getting so close....well, yes, I can!!
I can't wait!!! 65 days to go!! I can't wait to meet and hold me little MyKay!!

That is the happs around here!!! hope everyone had a good spring break!!
Bring on the sunshine!!!

What a difference!!

Here she is last year for her 5 year pictures......
Here is her 6 year picture!
What a huge difference!! She has grown up so much in a year!!
She isn't my squishy little baby anymore!!
She is a smart little lady and is the life of the party,
She loves to play with her sisters and play outside.
I can't get this girl to hardly wear anything but shorts, it snowed today and she was still in shorts!
She is a happy, spunky Sweet little lady!!
I enjoy every minute I have with her!!
