Party Time...

We had Maya's first birthday party at Gymboree Play and Music.  We take classes here once a week and Maya loves it, so I thought it could be a good venue for her birthday.  I think it worked perfectly!  Everyone had a great time, especially the kiddos!

One of the best parts of the day is that Grammy and Auntie Deanna were able to be here for the celebration!  It's really hard to have family living in another state and so special when we're able to come together for special occasions.  I loved having them here and so did Maya B!

Not too sure about this cake stuff

12 months...

The big one year old!



Maya is becoming such a big girl!  We continue to be amazed by all she is doing and learning.  The last year has presented us with the biggest challenges, the greatest joy and more love than we could have ever imagined.  I don't know what I'd do without our little Maya B and I'm so thankful God has given her to us.  We are blessed!

New Shades...

We bought Maya some new sunglasses in Capitola.  I started feeling like her pink ones were a little to "babyish" for this ALMOST ONE YEAR OLD!  

Pretty sweet shades...

A day at the beach...




The weather in sunny California has been beautiful!!  I remember it was like this last year as I waddled around wondering when baby girl was going to arrive (ps- my baby is a week away from her 1st birthday!!!)  We decided to take advantage of this gorgeous weather and headed down to Capitola for another weekend adventure.  This is starting to become a pattern for us and I LIKE IT!  


I realized that I LOVE Capitola.  The beach, shops, fun places to eat...it's awesome and I highly recommend it.  Here's a peak at our fun day at the beach :)
