1 Year pics

Miss Ashley Reynolds (the best sister-in-law) was so kind to take Maycee's 1 year pics on her exact birthday.

October 16th

I loved how they turned out.
My girlie is a little ham
(I couldn't choose a favorite)

Happy Halloween

Miss Ladybug and Miss Spiderweb


Taking Maycee trick-or-treating was so new and fun.
I told her in July that she needed to be walking by Halloween if she wanted to go
trick-or-treating and guess what???
She obeyed. :)
She walked all by herself to 2 houses.

Her first sign

Happy FIRST brithday girlie

Maycee... my little girlie...
turned the big 1 on Oct. 16th
I can't believe how big she has gotten. Time has flown by.

Opening her very first presents. Thanks Lex Richard Vassi and Keith
She really had no idea what she was doing but she seemed excited. :)


I decided that since my apt. is a little on the small side that we would have 2 parties., 1 for friends, 1 for family. Both turned out great.

Miss Alice in Wonderland graced us with her presence that day...
it was an Alice in Wonderland party

The festivities started with a little present opening.
PS she freaked out. She wasnt used to all the people.

and... she didn't like to play with the cake haha
(notice mom... one of the Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum characters... Thanks Natalie for being the other half)


The food table was quite yummy complete with teacups and pots.



All the cousins... they are actually all Maycee's second cousins.

I wanna be Forest Gump

So I got to thinking one day that it would be cool to run a marathon in my life time. So I looked into a few races and sure enough the "Two City" race being held here in Fresno is benefiting the
Leukemia/ Lymphoma society.
Well I saw that and I said to myself that I have to do that race in memory of my cousin

April Dockstader
So I have been running since July 29th and I couldn't feel any better.
It's amazing what running can do for you and your body. Not just physically but mentally as well.
So I got me a pair of new kicks and an iPod and off I went.

You can track my progress with me at:

I also purchased a Nike + iPod
Its a sensor that goes in my shoe and a wireless adapter that plugs into my iPod Nano and they talk to each other. It tracks everything for me and then catalogs it online.
I LOVE IT!!

I have really learned a lot about myself and running in this last month.
1. I really like, I mean LOVE running
2. Once I get a really bad side ache, it doesn't go away
3. My right calf is stronger than my left because of driving
4. Running helps loose the lbs FAST
5. Music is the only thing that helps me last, or else I get a little board
6. I enjoy the feeling after I'm done with a good run
7. I have to stretch before I run

Well wish me luck. I am only running the half marathon but it is on
Nov 8th
You want to come meet me at the finish line to cheer me to the end.
