Happy Birthday, Josie!

I'm so late in blogging this, but a few weeks ago Collin, Clara Beth and I went to Josie's FUN first birthday party! This party was great...hay rides, horse rides, train rides. Actually, Mak would have loved it. He had Awana, though, and we had fun spending a few hours with just one child to chase. I can't believe this sweet baby girl is already 1! Collin photographed her in the hospital last year when she was born (on Collin's blog), and it will probably always be on of our favorite photography experiences. And seeing this sweet girl grow through her first year of life has been amazing. You're a Beauty, Josie! Happy Birthday!

Totally pinchable cheeks, right? LOVE them!
Okay, you HAVE to click on this one to see the GINORMOUS mosquito on Birthday Girl's eyebrow! OUCH!
It would have been impossible to pry Mak out of this thing.
Big sister, Abby!
Brian, Evelyn, and Carlisle
Cowboy Steve and sweet little Leah
My Cowgirl
Brandon and Lilah
Josie was not a fan of riding the horse.
So pretty, though!

Clara Beth LOVED watching the horse run. Do they run or gallop? I just don't know these things...

Elliot and the horse

Lilah was definitely NOT going to join her buds in petting the horse.

Daddy and his girls


Hay ride!
Scary
Stacey's dad had rigged up the coolest horse on a washing machine motor thing. The kids LOVED it!
Cutie pie Cody!
Her cake was AMAZING! Josie is very blessed to have a grandmother who bakes cakes. WOW! It was so pretty! And I'm sure it was tasty, too, but unfortunately we had to leave to get Mak before the cake was cut. This REALLY disappointed Collin!


Olivia took a turn on the horse.
Sweet Lily! Love those pigtails!
And her big brother Thomas. This kid LOVED seeing all of the trucks.
Stacey and Lia, y'all put on a perfect party for your sweet little cowgirl. We had such a great time. Happy Birthday, Josie!!!
