Our family made it safely and we couldn't be happier. Kari and her family made it from Arizona and Alisha and her family made it from Wyoming. Now it's time to party and that is what we plan on doing. We started off our fun family activities with Zander's first birthday party. Can you believe he is one years old? Where has the time gone? You will be getting lots of pictures throughout our festivities because where we have no kids to brag about we always have our adorable nieces and nephews to brag about and I must say, we have the most adorable ones in this world! Warning....cute pictures ahead......
Here is Oakley showing off her awesome dance moves in front of a Peacock. How cute is she?? I know, cute!
Me with Oakley, Ty and Zander having fun at Willow park
Ty and Oaks really liked the animals and were really excited to see them. They are getting so big!
And here is our cute niece Journey enjoying family and fun. Well, I don't know if she really was but she was sure happy and seemed to enjoy herself.
A quick picture of Ry and I at the party
Zander sure loves his uncle Ryan and loved playing catch with Uncle Ryan
Zander loved that ball. Again I love how their relationship is protrayed so well in pictures. They have so much fun with each other.
