Happy 1st Birthday Mattie..

..and Happy Birthday to {my Guelita Castro} in Texas..I think she is 77 today..yep Mattie was born on my Guelita's birthday..how cool is that?! I love you Guelita! xoxo


We celebrated Mattie's birthday on Sunday. She had lots of vistors:
1.Grandpa & 2.Grandma LaFaye
3.Gram LaFaye
4.Great-Uncle Jimmy
5.Great-Aunt Kim
6.Cousin Samatha
7.Cousin Riley (all the way from Canada)
8.Aunt Sherri
9.Cousin Hilary
10.Cousin Britney
11.Jennifer (my best friend from high school) & her son
12.Brayden

She absolutley loved her audience that sang "Happy Birthday" to her! She would smile & clap..then we would all clap..then she would clap some more..Such a sweet little princess!




Her Daddy helped her blow her {candle} out..she wanted to touch that candle flame so bad.


Ahhwww...all {3} of my SWEETS! I am not sure what I did for God to bless me with these {3} sweet children. But thank-you!


This is Trae, Izabelle & Mattie's Great-Grandmother {Gram}..I am sure you have seen her on the blog before..she will be 96 in October! What a blessing to have her here!


Mattie enjoying her birthday cake & a sippy cup full of *lemonade*..her new favorite drink!
She was so nice & neat eating her cake..one bite at a time..she was in no hurry.


Ok..{major break-through}!!
This is Mattie's Grandpa (Rich's Dad)..and Mattie would never have anything to do with him..she would cry when he got too close to her..BUT..today they became "friends" over a sippy cup of lemonade!

{Cooking with Mattie}! I wanted to post this picture..because her Grandpa & Guelita in Texas sent some birthday loot from Texas..and we put it toward this cute little kitchen! Thanks!
Oh..and the little puppy book & puppy that "wiggles" his tail from Aunt Cherry in Virginia..{too cute}!! Thank-you! Every time the puppy's tail would "wiggle" Mattie would grab it..where on earth did you find that?


Me, Mattie & Izabelle after the party.



P.S. When she woke up this morning(8/16)..I went to the nursery and got her out of her crib..when I was changing her panties..I noticed another tooth!! Her (right) top tooth has broke through.
