The Birthday Girl

Dedicating Caelyn and a trip to Pismo Beach

We dedicated Caelyn on Sunday August 8th! What a blessing to have so many people praying for her life at one time.

Pastor Phil dedicated her.

She is enjoying a goldfish...treats to keep her from wanting to walk during the dedication!

We took the some students from our Sunday School class to Pismo last Thursday. Here we are getting some lunch at Splash in San Luis, she liked the clam chowder bread bowl!

Caelyn was SO EXCITED to see the ocean, I wish I could have captured the moment on film. She was 3 months old the last time we were at the beach. To see her face was amazing. She was waving her hands and squealing with delight it was one of the most adorable moments ever...she was running as fast as her feet could carry her to get down to the water.

Almost there...

But she wasn't sure what she thought about the waves and the cold water...she would rather just look.

The Buss's and the Hayes. Caelyn and Josie are 5 weeks apart in age!

Checking out a sand dollar...she tasted it too!

Caelyn is so good at walking now...my favorite is playing hide and seek...I do the hiding she does the seeking. What a precious gift.

Helping Dad in the yard

Caelyn loves to help her Dad water the plants in the backyard!!

Happy Birthday Caelyn!!!

So I am sorry that it took me awhile to post these pictures from Caelyn's birthday...I was so tired after her party, and I've been working the past 2 days...tonight is the first time we uploaded them to our computer!

Her party was this weekend and it was a great day filled with lots of wonderful family and friends that we love so much!! We would say her first birthday was a huge success! We made all the decorations together, Jason did the cupcakes, I made her outfit...we had lots of fun putting it all together! She really enjoyed her cupcake, but ran out of steam opening her presents!! Her biggest accomplishment is walking independently!!! Hurray she can move into the one's room in the nursery on Sundays!! She went in there Sunday night and really liked it, she just wanted to stay and play when I went to pick her up!

This first year of Caelyn's life has been an immense blessing to our lives! We can't imagine our lives without the joy of loving and knowing her. We are so honored that God chose us to be her parents!

Caelyn the birthday girl!!

The decor and food

Butterfly cupcakes made by Dad

Caelyn LOVED the balloons, probably her favorite decoration! And lucky for her Penny is terrified of them so all 3 huge mylar balloons are now decorating her bedroom to extend the festivities of the celebration!!

Never had one of these before...

Would you like some?

yummy

Can't get enough of this tasty treat

Are these for me?

pretty paper

I like ribbon...I'll keep this to share with Penny!

So many wonderful new things

Love love love her

Playing in our water toy with our good friend Josie Hayes! What a fun day!
