Happy 1st Birthday little bit!

It's so hard to believe that Megan is already 1 year old. She is doing more and more everyday.

Friday... on her real birthday... Kevin and I took Megan to the toy store to pick out her first present. She was so excited to see all of the cool toys. If you know our little Megan... her whole face lights up with a smile... and its tough not putting them all in the cart. We searched for the right presents... and put about 4 other gifts in... before replacing them with this one. Thank goodness we did... cause all the other gifts were given to her at her party. Popular picks!

Megan was very blessed today. She is a sweet... happy baby because of all the great people in her life. Thank you to everyone for being so good to our little one... and for helping us remember the awesome time in her life. We love you all.

(It's Sunday morning now... and as I'm typing... Megan is going back and forth between all of her toys. She is having a ball. I wish I could understand what she is saying... she has the biggest smile on her face. I have to admit... her toys are pretty cool.)
(So are all of her pretty clothes.)

This was Mommy and Daddy's present... we hope you have lots of fun with it Megan!

We tried to keep Megan up as long as possible before this mornings nap. We wanted her to sleep as long as she could before all of her guests arrived. As you can see... she made it tough... she kept trying to snuggle... "please can I go and nap already?" We caved at 9:30.

It's tough to beat good hound dog!

Okay... We're ready for a little girl birthday party!

Nana and B-pa were so excited to see this little birthday girl! They went and picked up all of her balloons. She had a blast bouncing them. "Lets get this party started!"

"pretty in purple"

The Drummond family passed down the coolest clifford slide! She'll get the hang of it sooner than later. She loves playing outside. I think this was her first time ever down a slide.

Bubbles Bubbles Everywhere!
They were a hit! The girls ran around the yard chasing them. Thank goodness... technology saved us from all the manual work... the typhoon machine worked like a charm!

It was a perfect day for a party!

We love hanging out with friends and family in the back yard.
(Sorry you had to work uncle Gregg... we missed you!)

Hard to believe its been a year!

It's the Drummond monkey show!
Thanks for coming Allison and Kate!

Gammie got some snuggle time with her grandson Samuel.

"hey little man... you are getting so big!"

Anybody up for some cake?

Your little cake was perfect... that is... until you smashed it in your eyes... ouch!

so... you really can get too much of a good thing!

"So... is it our turn yet?"

Yummy! 2 scoops or 1?

Hey Brendy's! Nice spot you got there. Time to open up presents!

Little girl stuff everywhere!

"Let's open this one up Daddy!"

Her Little Mermaid car was a big hit! Thanks Kyle and Jessica!

She looked so big playing with her toys. I got a kick out of watching her... but a little part of me was sad to see her growing up. That little smile of hers is priceless. She really seemed happy all day!

She wants to walk so bad... I'm sure it will happen soon enough.
She's tough enough to catch when she's crawling.
We love you baby girl!

Aunt Shell and Aunt Steph caught a hug too!
"Thanks for all my cool presents!"

Kisses from Great-Grandma Parrish!

She loves all her little Grand-babies... sweet as can be.

Here are a couple videos of Megan enjoying her toys! She packed in a lot of fun for a rookie birthday girl. Daddy and I will never forget how sweet you were today. We're so grateful to have you as our little girl!
