Mila's First Birthday ...

Mary was super excited to celebrate her friends first birthday. Josh and Kenny did a fantastic job at throwing a great party. Mary got her first taste of a jumpy house and fell in love. Reasoning a few days later her daddy bought her one. Mary played hours passed her nap with her friend. We didn't even make it to the freeway before she was fast asleep. 

BK Playground ...

We took Mary to burger kind for lunch and to play at their playground. It was her first time and she had the whole place to herself. She didn't want to go when it was time to leave. 

Bonnie Springs ...

A few weeks  ago we took Mary to Bonnie Springs so she could play in the petting zoo. She wasn't too sure of the animals roaming free, but one chicken in particular loved following her around. 

We visited Soring Mountain Ranch and had a picnic for lunch. It was absolutely beautiful out.  

Singing in the Rain ...

Last Friday it rained just about all day at the house. I had the back sliding door cracked for fresh air and Mary was obsessed with looking outside. After lunch I put her in her jacket and boots for a little play time outside. She loved the rain! Ran around and kept pointing to the sky. She would if never came inside if I didn't pick her up and carry her inside. I just wish the scafelting wasn't up from the workers. 

Airport Waiting ...

We had to pick up my parents up at the airport the other night. I made a sign for her to hold for her grandma and grandpa. She was a hit with everyone at the airport. She was all full of smiles and waving at everyone. 

Roos and More ...

Last weekend my sister and I took Mary to Zappos, where they were hosting some animals from Roos and More. Mary loved the interaction with all of the animals. The first animal she played with was the giant tortoise and within 2 minutes she poked him in his eye! She then couldn't understand why he kept hiding in his shell. 

She loved the camels so much, we had to visit then twice. At one point one of the camels cane right up to us and swung his head right above us. 

Date Night ...

Last Friday we had a night out to support the Las Vegas Wranglers at their pack the house night. My VIP sister got us tickets to the sold out game. I think we were the good luck charm. They best the number one team 5-2. We even won free tacos! Which we of course had to get on the way home. 

Heart Attack Grill ...

Everyone in the family has wanted to try The Heart Attack Grill since they opened. So we all finally made a field trip downtown. The moment you walk it you get a hospital bracelet and gown. Unfortunately they didn't have baby sizes for Mary. 

I played it safe and ordered the single, where the men upped the anti and ordered the double (3000 calories)

The catch was if you didn't finish your food you got paddled by one of the nurses. Lucky for us there was no paddling, since we all finished our food. 

Outside you could weigh yourself to see if you got s free meal. Mary was a little off. 

All and all the burger was dry and the fries had no seasoning. Kinda a disappointment in all our eyes. 

We did bright our evening with taking Mary to see the light show on Fremont. She loved it! 

Gold Spike ...

We spent the day at the container park, downtown. They have a really best concept going. Mary loved the playground when Justin enjoyed his shaved ice and me my hot tea. 

Later we played around at The Gold Spike. It's amazing how they transformed  it. We ice skated on plastic, played jenga, and cornhole. It was perfect since we had the place to ourselves, Mary could run around wild. 

Naked Butt ...

Who doesn't love a naked butt?! This one is one of my favorites. 

Children's Discovery Museum ...

We took Mary first time a few weeks ago. She had an absolute blast. I just wish we would if gotten there earlier, so we would of had more time. 

On the way out I found an awesome photo op spot! I foresee us going there again. 

Christmas ...

I can remember being excited for Christmas as a kid. That feeling of the best day of the year finally arriving. So excited for Santa. I got that same feeling this year for Mary. I couldn't wait for her to wake up and see the presents under the tree. Of course that's the one day she slept past her usual 10 am wake up. Justin and I enjoyed our coffee and watched the Disney holiday parade on TV while we waited. When she finally woke and came down stairs, her eyes lite up. She knew exactly what those wrapped presents were. (She's had a lot of practice from her birthday and grandpa giving her presents to open early.)

Christmas Eve ...

Christmas Morming ...

Christmas Day ... 

Santa made a special stop after dinner to visit with Mary, but she wasn't having it. There was no crying, just screams of pure terror.
