Molly's 1st Birthday!!!

Well our baby's 1st birthday has come and gone! We had a wonderful weekend with family and friends. On Friday, Katie's Dad & Terri arrived and brought a special gift with them - Katie's Grandma! It was a WONDERFUL surprise! Friday night, Johnny picked up his mom, sister, brother-in-law and nephews. The party on Saturday was great (except that Molly was sick) and filled with fun and another surprise - Katie's Aunt's & Uncle's (her mom's sisters) showed up from Fresno just to wish Molly a happy birthday! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE, we had a great time. Here are some pictures from the weekend . . . enjoy!

I love this one! Great Grandma Nelle (Janelle) giving Molly her 1st B-day present early. Their b-day's are in the same month and Grandma gave her a ring of hers that Great Grandad had given her on her 40th b-day - it has their birthstone in it! Very special :)Grandma Nelle and Molly playing.Here's the family in jail at "Rawhide" - a old ghost town attraction place.

Molly slept through the whole visit to Rawhide, but daddy made sure she still got the whole experience - doing a little gold mining!
While in AZ we took Molly to her first zoo trip!
