Happy Memorial Day

On Monday we found a parade just a few towns over from us. This was Rayas first one and we knew she'd love it and she did!!

Since she started waving she has this "parade/queen/pageant" wave, not the open close wave most kids acquire. It is adorable and she certainly put it I good use :)

She also LOVES doggies and kisses she found several sweet dogs to share a smooch with, and one that didn't want one so much and let her know...she wasn't very happy with that dog!

Thank you to all those that have and do serve for our country!

ONE

I don't know where the time has flown but we have a ONE year old!!! Raya turned one on April 24th and celebrated by having grandma Schuster and Auntie Juney in town. We schedule a little one year old photos shoot with some of the decorations I had put together to use at her party and of course a smash cake!!! She wanted nothing to nothing to do with the cake it was kind of funny. we put her snack of choice, peas!!!? on top of the cake and he took a few swipes of it :)

Grandma Altbaum joined us for some pictures and then we went to eat at True Food Kitchen YUM... To celebrate getting through the first year! Although I've heard it's the hardest I also feel it might be the easiest, from here on out she I already starting to get her defiant and sassy personality :) each stage has truly been amazing and now we have a toddler!!! Although we enjoy she's still itty bitty it's like we can enjoy having an infant for longer. But she is an infant that talks, albeit only a few words (doggy, dada, duck, this and something thats starting to sound like Zara), walks errr runs and is so fun to interact with!! She understands an overwhelming amount too!

Happy birthday sweet Raya we hope your year was as memorable as ours was!
