Our Lil’ Princess MaKayla Turned One
MaKayla's big PRINCESS BIRTHDAY Party was on Saturday, September 22nd.
I just had to dress MaKayla up as a Little Princess to match her Princess Theme birthday party. I found this cute little tutu when I was in Las Vegas and just couldn’t pass it up. Isn’t she just adorable?
Papa and Nana gave her this Dora the Explorer push tike. It was too big to wrap so as soon as they brought it in and set it on the floor she started pushing buttons. Papa and Nana took it out of the box right away so she could play with it.
One big happy family!
She sure is the cutest lil’ princess I have ever seen!
MaKayla was spoiled with lots of love and presents!
Grandma Sue has been working hard throughout the year making this very special Precious Moments Quilt. It turned out just beautiful! MaKayla will come to appreciate all the hard work that went into making this quilt with love.
The Little Princess all decked out and waiting for her cake to be served to her.
Another family photo, sorry I just couldn’t resist.
Yummy, yummy, yummy! I have my Momma’s sweet tooth!
Sweet kisses for Daddy! Actually she ended up biting his lip and not letting go for awhile. "That’s what you get for trying to steal some of my cake Daddy."
The birthday girl crashed out after a day full of activities. Andy and I went to check in on her and noticed that her quilt that Grandma Sue made for her birthday was in the crib. Hmm, I think that a certain Grandma fairy sneaked in the room. MaKayla will definitely treasure this very special quilt for years to come.
Sunday, September 23rd, we had to take a test drive outside and enjoy the Indian summer that is here. Grandma Baker gave her this Winnie the Pooh little tike. The propeller even goes around, too cute!
Here is the Dora the Explorer little tike that Papa and Nana Masterson gave her. She decided to get off and push it for awhile. It is easier pushing it down the driveway. Coming back up is a bit more of a challenge.
Monday, September 24th, Tati had a little birthday celebration at her house for MaKayla. The house was decked out with streamers, balloons and a sign on the door. The kids baked the cake in the morning. The plans were to decorate the cake when the rest of the kids arrived in the afternoon and enjoy the fruits of their labor. When I went for a visit at lunch I asked if I could take a picture since I wouldn’t be there in the afternoon. So, we got the cake out and I started snapping away and my Lil’ Princess decided that the cake looked too yummy to just be sitting there and decided to help herself. The little stinker kept eating it while I took pictures. Opps, so there will be some cake missing when the kids decorate it. Hmm, I wonder where MaKayla gets that from? Tati is such a great daycare provider and has become like a member of our family. God has blessed us with her, Joseph, Sarah and Sean and we are so happy that they are a apart of MaKayla’s life. They did come to our family celebration at our house on Saturday and our families couldn’t say enough good things about Tati and her family after they left. Thank you Tati, Joseph, Sarah and Sean for all that you do!
Okay, I think we have had enough cake for one week! =)
Andy gave MaKayla this little Harley Davidson outfit. He must have dressed her up to see how it looked because I found this picture on the camera.
Here is a picture that Andy took of the two of them.
The cutest little turkey I have ever seen!
Sunday, August 26th, Here is Daddy resting while MaKayla and him snuggle watching cartoons. 
Well the 1970 Challenger finally was on the road for the first time in two years…YEAH!! I was a little nervous when he was out that something would happen or it would break down. I was so happy to see a big smile on Andy’s face when he pulled back in the driveway. Of course there are always some minor problems that need fixing. I doubt that the car will ever be totally done. There is always something that can use some tweaking.
MaKayla loved being throw in the air. Andy had her laughing so hard! 
Daddy decided MaKayla was big enough for her wagon. She loved it!!! The little stinker kept standing up in the wagon as Andy pulled it so I had to walk next to her and keep sitting her back down. 
MaKayla woke up on Sunday night crying. I would get her calmed back down and try to lay her back in her crib and she would start screaming again. After the third attempt, I decided to let her sleep with me. She is such a wiggle worm. I kept waking up with a foot in my face, a hand on my face, feet in my tummy or with her whining looking for her bear. Needless to say, I did not get a good night sleep. Here she is the next day feeling a little better but still congested. She took some toys out of her basket and then crawled in.
Forget sitting next to Pooh Bear, she wants to stand at any chance she can get. I just love her smile!
