Birthday Weekend

As you can see, Viv was very excited to turn 1.  We celebrated with some friends and family on the 28th. 

Cute centerpiece my mom did.  Very Hawaiian!

My friends, Kiesa and Jessica, made this decoration for our spring retreat at church.  I stole it for the party.  If you ever need cute centerpieces call me and I'll get you their info!

 Kiesa also made our cake!  It was amazing!  You can find her on facebook if you need a good cake - Three Belle's Cakes

 Aunt Jenna managed to hold all four babies at the party.  I'm not surprised.  Here she is with James.

 Even my dad was holding Jake...He usually doesn't like to hold other people's kids...Must be James' winning personality!

 Jenna, Ellie, Viv, and Charla:

 Stacia and I tried to get them to pose for a picture.  The kids were all distracted!

 Time for Cake!  Viv wasn't too sure what to do with it.  We've never let her have sweets before. 

  She loved to play with the frosting and it took a lot of clean up!

 Opening presents!  We got a lot of books, toys and clothes!  All things that we really needed.  Luke and I were so excited to get new books.  We are going to hide her old ones.  We're so tired of reading the same thing over and over.  Nice to get some new reading material.  Loved all the great toys and cute clothes and shoes!!!!

It was such a fun day.  Great time to each food and hang out with friends and family! 

We made a video for Viv's first year.  You can check it out - First Year Video.

On Sunday Viv, Andy, Pops, Nana, and I went to the zoo! It was perfect weather!

Riding on Pops shoulder and being freaked out by the snakes (love the facial expression)

Enthralled with the fish!

 We had her well visit on her birthday!  Viv is 22 lbs (75-90%) and 30.5 inches long (90-95%).

She's growing so fast!  She is such a sweet, curious little girl.  Excited to see her grow!
