Kansas turns ONE

i don't know what yall do on your 1st birthday, but i went to a girls basketball tournament at rosslyn. i got up earlier than i normally do. now that i think about it, i don't think i ever ate breakfast. oh wait, i take that back. my mom did manage to feed me a bottle while packing things for the day.

after we arrived, my dad left me in the backpack carrier in hopes that i would take a nap. seriously dad? c'mon who'd wanna fall asleep when there's bball going on!

the girls did fairly well. my mom's a really good coach. she taught them alot since the first day of practice. my dad said that they run transmission well. hold on, my dad's trying to say something to me. oh oops, i meant transition. yes they're beginning to figure out how to run transition well. there we go.

after their games, the bball team totally surprised me. i was just chillin on the sideline eating my crackers when all of a sudden i heard a group of girls singing Happy Birthday =]

they gave me this giant birthday card. it was so big! according to my parents, they wrote some nice things on there. i know you can't see it, but it says "Happy Birthday! Congratulations on your one year of existence!"

oh wait, here you go. i forgot my dad took a picture of it after we got home.

anyways, after the tournament we decided to stop by village market for lunch. my mom had sweet & sour chicken. my dad had pizza. i had baby food and some of mommy's noodles. my dad didn't share any of his food with me. punk.

since i'm one year old now, i tried to convince my parents to let me sit in the car with a seat belt and drink some mountain dew. i'm a big girl now. i can handle it. i just wanted to do the dew.

the day wasn't turning out the way i had hoped. i was beginning to wonder if they forgot my birthday. we walked around random places, and the whole time i was wondering when the party was going to happen. it turns out my parents bought me all this stuff!!! a new book, two bouncy balls, a basketball, and a little noise-making drum thing...ftw. i don't know how to explain the joy. they laid out all this stuff on the floor at the same time, and it was blowing my mind. i would crawl to the green ball then notice the yellow ball then notice the book then notice the drum thing then notice the basketball....ahhh it was awesome!

i apologize for not wearing any pants. i was crawling around on the bball court and the grass all day, so they had to go as soon as we got home.

just when i thought the fun was over, my mom whips this out right before supper. my dad's cousin's gf in thailand got this for me. it's pretty crazy. i tried to make a mess on myself and not an inch of my clothes got dirty. trust me i tried.

oh yea, my mom showed me this book a few weeks ago. it's from my grandparents in kansas. it's pretty sweet. the book reads to me in their voices!!! grandpa lambert sounds alot like uncle wessy.

so that was the very first anniversary of my birthday. it was a good day. it's been a good year. thank you to everyone who has been a part of the first year of my life.
