Whew!

It's tiring running after a very active 1 year old! We have been having so much fun lately.
We went to the zoo with our friends, Kristin and Maggie.
We take wagon rides to have dinner with our neighbors.
We visit Nana & PopPop at the hotel when they were in town. (Side note- this is now my favorite picture of Ted and Sally!)
We have friends over to play. The kiddos were so busy playing that I only got action shots! This is our new friend, Keller.
And of course, Sally's boyfriend, Michael. Don't they look guilty?
We put EVERYTHING on our head. Pretty sure this towel had avocados on it.
Where's Sally? is one of our favorite games.

We visited Texas for a very short time.
We ran up and down Nana's driveway. Great...she can run now...
But-- even Super Sally has to sleep. This was during a marathon nap when I was finally brave enough to go in and get a couple of pictures. Notice the two pacifiers...you never know what might happen, you better have a back up paci nearby!

Cupcakes, Birthdays and Easter, Oh My!

What a week! Sally turned 1 on Friday, April 2. We had a wonderful birthday week. We started with a birthday party with Sally's friends in Tulsa.
Her princess chair. I think she might be ok with balloons and a tulle skirt on her high chair all the time!
Her good buddy, Andrew.
Asking her Uncle PJ for advice. I wonder what they're discussing!
Her special birthday cupcake! (I promise the flame wasn't really that big in person- or that close to her head!)
Our sweet friend, Maggie. She had to leave a little early so she missed the group pictures. We love you, precious Maggie!
Sally and her boyfriends: Michael, Cooper, and Andrew.
The crew playing away. Aspen looks bummed to be missing out on the action.
Sweet Cooper and his Mommy, Carolina, drove all the way from OKC. We were so glad they could come!
Sally and her future husband, Michael. Too soon?? I don't think so...he's a keeper! :)
Sally's cupcake tree made by Erika...SOOOO Yummy!!
Then we headed to Denton for a few days. We were able to see some special friends (post coming soon!) and celebrate her birthday with family and friends in Texas. The picture above is Sally cheering on her real birthday.
Her birthday cake at Nana's. Sally's cousin, Jack, chose the cake. He did a great job, didn't he?
Sally was given a very special quilt from a special family friend, Sherry. The quilt is so beautiful and such a special gift.
This time she really got in to her cake! Icing, YUM!
Her most precious Godparents, Andress and Patrick.
A little hide and seek with Daddy!
Who's chasing who here?
To top off her birthday celebrations we went to Jenni's house to celebrate with Ted's side of the family. It was truly the icing on a perfect week/ weekend! Above: Melissa, Jenni and Parker-- such special family!
The crew outside by the pool.
AMAZING cake. It was from Nothing Bundt Cakes. There are no words to describe how incredible this cake was...I can't wait until the next opportunity to have this yummy, yummy treat!
Sally loved this playhouse. She spent at least an hour playing out there!
HEY!
Sally is intently staring at that cake. Smart girl!
And finally a very blustery Easter!

Thank you to our special friends and family for celebrating Sally's birthday with us. What a special week it has been.
