One Year

You will probably notice that in some of the pictures they have the wrong name on them. This is because the photographer put the wrong name on the photos and would not go back to change them because she knew her mommy was a cheapo and was not going to buy them. I had already shown her my coupon for $7.99. Oops!! Sorry!!

Gianna's First Birthday

We celebrated Gianna's 1st birthday with the Fortunato family on Easter. Grandma and Grandpa got her a princess bike. Aunt Gina, Uncle Levi and Levi's father got her a guitar, a pullable phone, a singing princess book and another talking toy. Gregg and I got together on her birthday to open presents from us and Mike and Candice who live in Reno so they sent gifts. They sent her books, a movie and puppets( which you will see in the pictures that she is scared of)Sorry!! We celebrated her birthday with the Slack family the following day. To my disbelief, I do not have one picture of our celeration with the Slack's. If anyone happens to have any I would really appreciate them. To give them credit: Grandpa got her sugar and more sugar. Grandma made her a princess bed set. Rumseys got her puzzles. Huntsmans made her and her mommy matching PJ's. Collins gave her a gift card to Babies R Us which we have already spent. She picked out snacks and toys. Waites got her books and suckers(which my sisters know save me when I make the 40 minute drive from their side of town). Richs got her a baby (which she has never put down since) and suckers.

Gianna's First Easter

Thanks to a few of my sisters who took the initiative to plan something this year year, Gianna had a great first Easter. We celebrated Easter with the Slack family on Saturday. We started our day at the park with coloring eggs,then we had an Easter egg hunt and lunch. After lunch we had sack races and three legged races. We ended our day with a good old game of freeze tag. Thanks again to those sisters who started a new tradition for our family.

Mommy making an idiot of herself

Just so everyone knows, three of the five sisters who were racing are pregnant and I am the one who fell. Go figure

We celebrated Easter with the Fortunato Family on Easter Sunday. We started out our day with doing an Easter egg hunt at Gregg's house. We then went to Aunt Gina's house for dinner and opening baskets. Unfortunately, I only took video of her doing the egg hunt at Gregg's and it is too large to post.

WOW!! They learn fast.

This is Monday the 6th. I am so amazed that in a matter of two days she is walking so well. Ok, again I am a little embarrassed about the way Gianna and the house look. I swear my child is usually dressed. Maybe it is in last nights pajamas but she is still dressed. The house I have no excuse for. Anyone who knows me well knows that is the way it usually looks.

Are children allowed to start walking before they say Mommy?

This was Saturday the 4th. All of a sudden she just started walking. I was almost not going to post this video due to the way my daughter looks (Why did I not take the three seconds to button that onsie), but then I figured who cares. She is loved and that is all that matters. So I tell myself!!
