The fastest year of my life has come and gone! My baby girl is now one, and I can't recall how an entire year rapidly passed. With each child the first year of life picks up speed and there seems to be no break, no slowing down. Knowing Josie could possibly be our last little Jones blessing, I made a vow to soak it all up and not wish away one moment, which I believe made time even more fleeting.
We celebrated her birthday at one of our favorite spots! A little park on the reservoir where we love to feed the ducks, kayak, ride bikes, and watch the sunset!
I provided a massive bucket of dog duck food, and the ducks were in hiding all day, I think for the first time ever......craziness!
Josie didn't seem to mind, more for her!
She thought it was delish!!!
The parachute brought out the giggles.
The wagon was a wild ride.
Beautiful bracelets were made at the creation station.
But the most favorite activity loved by all,
run, run, as fast as you can
you can't catch me
I'm the duck food throwing man!
They would run, get a handful of food, run back to the water, and chunk the food....still no ducks, but lots of fun!
Cake Time!
She tore into her cake like no ones business.

Sweet Friends
On to the main event,
Josie Kathryn Jones.
She is a little ray of sunshine
Her favorite thing to do is smile & kiss
She talks in a whisper,
gives the best hugs,
follows her brothers around and adores them,
loves to tell everyone "hey",
receives many compliments on her blue eyes,
sleeps like an angel when curled up next to mommy,
eats everything (yet to find a food she doesn't love),
does a funny laugh when she wants to nurse,
doesn't meet a stranger,
runs with her arms reached high when Daddy walks
through the door,
loves balls,
cuts a rug at the first sound of music,
prefers outdoors all day,
not a fan of naps
( two 30 minute catnaps on a good day),
could swing for hours,
and loves life!
You can get a glance of her old soul through her piercing blue eyes, and then she will wrap her kind arms around your neck and leave you with a little slobber to remember her by!
Enjoy The Journey!
