Happy 1st Birthday Daphnee

One year ago today we welcomed our beautiful Daphnee into this world and began on an unforgettable journey.  After watching our daughter experience several health challenges in her first year of life, we have come to know how strong she is.  She is an amazing daughter, and we feel so blessed to be able to be her parents.  We love you, Daphnee!
 She started crawling a few weeks ago, but I haven't been able to upload the video I took, so here is a still shot.  She pretty much cruises wherever she wants to go now. 

We have enjoyed some pretty warm weather already this year and let Daphnne go swimming for the first time. 
I know its a weird shot, but it was the best way to show off her hair do.  Daphnee already does well at letting me fix her hair as long as I go fast.  Her hair is still short, but I have found some fun creative ways to do her hair. 

Some of Daphnee's favorite things:

She loves to dance anytime she hears music. 

She loves books.  She will sit and turn pages forever.

She just learned to wave.  She will wave at anyone that walks by at the store. 

She likes playing with Dallin. 

She loves to give kisses.  Big, open-mouthed and wet kisses.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!

Easter

We had some family come visit this past weekend.  Scott's brother Brian, his wife Caitlyn and daughter Brooklyn came and stayed with us for a few days.  We had a fun visit and were glad they were able to come. 
On Saturday, we met up with our friends Jordan and Michaela and their kids Calin and Capri for an Easter egg hunt.  They were divided into age groups and we were all able to stay together in the 0-3 year old category.  Our kids sure cleaned house.  The three oldest kids had full baskets of eggs and candy!!
Waiting in line with their baskets for the egg hunt to start.
 
At the end with full basktes and buckets of eggs. 

Daphnee with her Easter basket.  For her first Easter I gave her my favorite bunny that I had when I was a little girl.  I used to collect them and my mom bought me this one.

We sure had a fun weekend with family and friends.  The weather was so nice and sunny, and we went to the best playground ever a couple times!!  Its brand new and huge with different areas for big kids and even babies to play.  I'll share some pics when we go more this summer.
