I Can Do It Myself!
We all know that a toddlers favorite thing to say is I can do it myself- and if Eden could talk that is exactly what she'd say.
Needless to say a bath was in order after lunch today.

Discoveries!!
Eden, Mike and I made a trip to the park last night where Eden made lots of new discoveries. First up were dandelions- something that takes us all back to our childhood! As any intelligent one year old knows- they all go straight in the mouth, mmm... tasty!
We also enjoyed some fruit smoothie. When allergy season hits (and it's here in full bloom)I am always looking for something to drink that will cure the scratchy feeling in my throat that lingers for a few weeks. Shakes and smoothies work well.
Now that Eden is walking (and walking well) there are a lot of fun things for her to explore. Mike and I were talking about how everyone always says, "when they start walking, watch out", well for us it has improved life. She is more content and it's really fun to watch her as she discovers so many new things on her own.
Another fun thing at the park was a rocket ship, like the ones that Mike and I remember from our childhood. Eden and I crawled inside. It was a little tighter than I remember and the top platform was blocked off, oh well, we still had a great time and got to head down the slide- one of Eden's favorites. 
*note- to all of you who are asking yourselves, "When is Mike going to take back over the blog so I don't have to read Sarah's crappy writing?" You may want to look elsewhere. Between his new job and studying for his MCSE (Microsoft certification) after Eden and I are in bed he's a little busy; and that will last for awhile as there are 7 tests and he's just getting going. So that being said, he may squeeze one in here and again- but for now you are stuck with me, sorry!

Leaves!
So I decided that I was not going to have our moms out and let them see that it was spring and we hadn't raked our leaves AGAIN! So Eden and I ventured outside to rake. Molly played with her while I bagged them up. Eden definitely had a great time and only a small amount of dirt was consumed. So here you are moms- no leaves to rake this year (we can come up with other jobs for you if you want) love you both.

Hard to Believe
She's officially ONE! I am really having a hard time wrapping my mind around that. In a lot of ways it seems like she's always been a part of our lives and in someways this past year has come and gone too quickly.
Mike and I were sitting there last night talking about how crazy it is that this year has come and gone, and how in some ways it's sad because she won't be that little again, but in so many more ways its pretty exciting. She is developing such a personality. It's a good one too. She laughs with you (and at you) and is generally a happy kid. For her birthday Randy and Vicki got her a Noah's Ark and one of the animals is a lion. After her party Molly was sitting on the floor with her and she told her what a lion says- well guess what her new favorite thing is? Every animal makes that sound. It's pretty darn cute, even if I do say so myself.
For her actual BirthDAY we made pancakes (for daddy's 1st day of a new job too). Eden had pancakes and whipped cream. Most, of course, ended up on the floor.
After a great nap (1hr 45min) Eden, Auntie, Ashley, Brady and I headed for the Wonder Place. It really is a wonderous place. The girls both had a great time. They both walked (Brady a little better than Eden) all over the place and played until they pretty much collapsed. Here's a photo montage of our time there...
To end the day we ate dinner with Molly and Chach (spaghetti) and then took Eden to get ice cream at Coldstone (okay, so that was for us too).
So I guess what I am trying to say through all of this rambling is that I can't believe that our baby is one. Thank you for all of your love and support through the past year. We wouldn't have made it this far without everyone's prayers and love. If you read this blog then you love our Eden too and that means a lot. So here's to you Eden-Happy First Birthday! We look forward to many, many more. We love you.
