We had a great time celebrating your first Bday and in fact,
you had multiple parties because Grandma Ann, Nana Jeanne and Grandpa Garry
were all out of town for the party at our house. We missed them, but still had
a great celebration on the Saturday before your Bday.
You looked super adorable in your Bday outfit and everyone
enjoyed watching you toddling around. You weren’t quite sure what to think
about being the center of attention though and were also not the biggest fan of
your cake. Oh well! Lots of fun memories though.
Earlier that day, we also went to the zoo with Grandma and
Grandpa B.
Then the following weekend Mommy and you went to Wisconsin and had even more celebrations including Wyatt's graduation party from high school and Nana's bday. It was great to spend a long weekend just relaxing with fam.

| Excited to be at the zoo |
 |
| This was hilarious, Dad, Matt and Brinley crawled through the little tunnel. I wasn't sure if they would all make it out! |
 |
| The wolves were super active, it was actually kind of creepy! Matt, remember the one that stared you down? |
 |
| Playing in the bee hive |
 |
| Bday party and the bottle of "Josh" wine that I found to go with it. I thought it was cool that he could join us :) |

| Auntie Dana's wreath and the fairy wings added to the butterfly themed party |
 |
| Mama and the birthday girl! |
 |
| Grandpa and the birthday girl |
 |
| Not quite sure what to think of all of this |
 |
| Playing with her new farm from Auntie Dana, Uncle Phil and cousins Adam and Clara |
 |
| Just checking everything out |
 |
| The spread |
 |
| Trying to grab the cake |
 |
| And mad that we wouldn't let her :( |
 |
| Digging into her own "piece" |
 |
| Mmmmmmm |
 |
| She certainly delivered on the good and messy baby |
 |
| Why is everyone staring at me? |
 |
| Special antique firetruck from Grandpa and Grandma, she loved it! |
 |
| The next day, hanging out at the park after church |
 |
| Happy birthday sweet girl! We are smitten! |
 |
| Decided to sit in the basket, what a little bug |
 |
| Having fun on the swings at Wyatt's grad party |
 |
| Tuckered out from all of the fun |
 |
| Checking out the horsey with Grandpa |
 |
| She wasn't even scared! Such a brave girl |
 |
| She even got to sit on the horsey, although she wasn't so sure about that |
 |
| She fit in the hole of the bean bag toss |
 |
| Visiting Great Grandma B |
 |
| Going for a ride with Grandma in her wheel chair |
 |
| Hanging out with Nana on her birthday. It's pretty cool, they are one week apart and my Grandpa and I were really close with our Bdays and always had the parties together. I'm glad Brinley will have that same experience. |
 |
| Her favorite dress |
 |
| Looking at the pretty flowers |
 |
| Being silly |
 |
| We took Nana out to lunch and they had an arcade and Mom had the brilliant idea to ride the firetruck, thinking it would just rock back and forth. No way, that thing was like a bucking bronco! Brinley got handed off to Nana in about 2 seconds. |
 |
| Still pretty wary of that firetruck |
 |
| She definitely doesn't trust it |
 |
| She loved walking all around the arcade though and looking at all the lights |
 |
| We also played some games and she loved getting the tickets |
