1st Birthday




I can't believe that it has already been over a year since I had Maris. Sure is crazy but here are some fun photos of her 1st birthday. She looks so big...next thing is school huh...(don't mind me wiping my tears away).

A Little Winter Fun at our Cabin





So Maris officially hates the snow and cold. We got this cute snow suite at the 2nd hand store and she loves being in it...inside. She cried the entire time we were outside. I guess next year we will just try it again!
Luke, Alisha and I went snowshoeing in Pine near our cabin. What a blast. It was a lot of work but so much fun. We will defiantly be doing that again sometime soon.

Maris' IRS Swim Lessons




About 5 months ago I received an email from my brother that had a baby falling into his back yard pool. The child was able to swim to the top and float face up for over ten minutes. Crazy huh! This made me sooo sick to my stomach, I felt so bad for the baby. When I showed it to Luke he said "isn't the point that the baby is still alive...why are you sick about it". And that is when I realized this is something Maris needs to do to maybe (hopefully never have to use) save her own life if she ever fell into water. So now we are on month 3 of ISR Swim lessons and we are so proud of her. She has a new appreciation for the water...even baths. Check out these pictures and the video's on her in action.
