Weekend beach trip.


This last weekend Rayden went on a weekend beach trip with Grandma Terrie and Papa Alan. She had SO much fun and loved camping at the cabin and playing on the beach!!

Dry Sand


Rayden did not like the dry sand on the beach...she only wanted to be in the wet sand down by the water. She would not walk on it at all....just stand there.

Playing on the beach.





Rayden loved playing on the beach and walking around everywhere, as long as she was on the wet sand!

The Bear



There was a cute bear in Brookings and Grandma Terrie got some cute pictures of Rayden on it!

Rayden and Papa Alan



Here is Rayden at the beach with Papa Alan. She is very attatched to him (no no...he isn't attatched to her at all!), especially that weekend. They have a lot of fun together.

Wrestling Fun with Dad



One of Rayden's favorite things to do is wrestle with Daddy on the floor...especially when he has a pillow or her Elmo chair! She will tackle him, climb all over him and steal the pillow or chair away from him. It is just too cute and they have a ton of fun!

ONE YEAR OLD!!!



It is SO hard to believe that one year has already gone by....sheesh! Rayden has grown SO SO much from her 5 pounds 5 ounces to over 20 pounds now!! She is such a spitfire with a great personality. What a great year it has been! Rayden is walking ALL over the place, is starting to talk, loves to play with her toys and read books. She is definitely Miss Independent! We can't wait to see what the following years will have in store for us!!! Professional pictures are being taken tomorrow and will have those posted soon!

Playing with Balloons



Rayden had a blast playing with all of the balloons that fell down from her party!

Party Dress



Here is Rayden in her pretty party dress that we got her. She just looked so cute in it.

Rayden and cousin Adin



This is Rayden and her cousin Adin hanging out together before the party started. They got a long so well and he just loved to give her hugs and kisses. She was sad to see him leave the next day and tried to follow him to the car :(

Opening Presents


Here is Rayden opening some of her presents...well we were opening her presents, she was more than happy to sit and watch and play with her new stuff!

Birthday Cake




Here is Rayden digging into her own little birthday cake. She was a little confused about what to do with it at first but by the end she was eating it like crazy! What a mess she was!!
