I can't believe it's been a year since this little princess was born!! The time has flown by and she is growing up way to fast! We love every single stage of life she has gone through, and she is super fun right now! Presley has been such a great baby and we love her more than we ever could have imagined!
She is my best little buddy and we love spending time with eachother (which is good since we are together all day every day). She keeps me busy and entertained, and I am just amazed at how beautiful and smart and funny she is! She already has such a cute personality, I'm so excited to continue watching her grow, even though I wish she would stay my little baby for forever!
It's hard to think of how life was before she came along. She made me a mom, which is a dream come true. And she is seriously the best kid I ever could have asked for!
We had a little party for her on her birthday. Swimming, presents and cake (and lots of pink frosting).
Just a warning, this post is a picture overload. BUT she is my baby and it's her birthday so i don't care! :)
I had some little photo shoots with her in the days leading up to her birthday. (those pics will come in a later post, and there will be Lots of those too!)
My sister Melanie and her family came over to celebrate with us.
Melanie and Presley
Keats and Kash
Cousins!
Me and my birthday girl! ♥
Family birthday picture
Getting ready to start opening the presents.....
She got lots of really cute clothes and some much needed new toys and books to keep her busy.
She did pretty good at opening the presents (for being a 1 year old)
And THIS..... this was her favorite present of all. Melanie got it for her and everything she opened after this present was not exciting to her because she just wanted to snuggle with the pink lady bug.
The cake......While trying to get a picture with her and the cake she snuck some frosting off of the corner...
This is the CUTEST face in the world!! So proud of the frosting she got lol
poor girl was getting tired. The swimming and presents was just so much fun!
But then she realized how much fun it was to smush the cake
Here are a couple of videos of her enjoying her cake :)
And she's tired again, lol.
After she was done, she was pretty messy. Pink frosting and cake everywhere!
So we rolled her highchair outside and hosed her and the chair off..... :)
Good thing she loves water!
Mommy/daughter matching pedicures! ♥
(No I didn't take her to ge them done. I worked very hard to get those tiny piggies painted and finally got them!)
I can't believe that just a year ago this tiny little angel was born......
We were able to go up to My Grandma's cabin and spend some time with some of my MacKay side of the family and celebrate Grandma's Birthday.
Here is my Uncle Kirk holding Presley. She was a little stinker and didn't want my uncles to hold her. We got this picture right before the screaming started.
But she loooooooves to have her daddy hold her!!
This was actually not at the cabin, but we were able to see my sister Rebecca as well. She even held Presley for a picture (which if you know Rebecca you know that's a pretty big deal) :)
Uncle Kirk and Lane getting their bows ready to shoot.
We convinced Josh to try shooting their bows. He has only ever shot one once, and that was my dad's several years ago. He got out there and got a bullseye on the first shot! And pretty much every shot after that too!
I had to show off my skills so we pulled out the 22 and shot with that.
We took a nice walk down to the river and were able to get some pretty pictures together. It is always so pretty down there!!
My cousin Megan was Presley's best friend up there. She was my little babysitter, which is weird since I remember Megan being a baby!
They fed us some great food and we stayed up way to late talking with my aunts, uncles, cousins and Grandma, but it was lots of fun!
Grandma spent her birthday relaxing on the couch with an afgan over her lap, reading grandpa's biography. It was really nice to just sit with her and chat! I love her SO much!! Presley's middle name is actually after my Grandma.... Donna Faye & Presley Faye ♥
I'm so glad that I got that time with family, especially with my Grandma. I never know how much longer she has and I cherish each visit with her! It's also great to be able to let Presley meet her and spend some time with her (even though she won't remember these times, we have pictures and videos for her to see later).
Presley is such a silly girl! She will smile when you take her picture now and gives the cutest cheesy smiles.
She was having fun sitting on her Grandpa Roper's lap, and riding on Grandma Roper's shoulders and pulling her hair.
Josh & Presley with his sister Shan & baby Ella
We wanted some pictures of the girl cousins next to each other, but it didn't work out to great. Presley was being a little crazy.....
and she decided to poke Ella in the face/eye....
Ella wasn't to happy about it, so picture time was over.
We were able to take a trip up to Utah this year to visit family, see our nephew get baptized, and celebrate the 4th of July.
On the 4th we were in Filmore Utah. We went to the parade that morning, then had lunch in the park and watched fireworks later that night.
It was a hot morning at the parade! We all tried to stay cool under the umbrellas, but it was still pretty warm.
Presley was getting tired because it was past her nap time and it was hot and uncomfortable for her.
We weren't sure if we were going to take Presley to see the fireworks. Her normal bed time is around 8pm, and the fireworks were supposed to start around 10pm. But she ended up taking a much needed afternoon nap so we took her to watch them and she loved them!
I thought she would be scared, but she just sat on my lap and watched them through the whole show.
(She smiles for pictures now, but the flash makes her blink every time! lol)
