Week of "Firsts"

Last week I was suffering from blogger's block, but this week I seem to be cured!! Well, I can actually put a string of words together anyway! :) Over the past week, Hopey has experienced several "firsts". Some were super exciting, others were probably only exciting to me!! :) Let's get started!

This was Hopey's first surprise 40th Anniversary party! The Bozell's and the Schell's did such a wonderful job putting it together! Happy Anniversary Bill and Linda!!

Directly after her first surprise anniversary party, we went to Colin's 3rd birthday party where we played on Hopey's first moon bounce!! Yes, I said "we"... I don't think I've ever had so much fun in my life!! :) Happy Birthday Colin and fantastic party Shawn and Melba!!

This is Hopey's first ride in her brand new wagon from Grandpa and Grandma! Thanks so much Bill and Conni! She LOVES it!!

Hopey got this super fun swing for her birthday! Well, we FINALLY found a branch that would work, so this is Hopey's first time in her new swing! Thanks for such a thoughtful gift Aunt Renae and Grandma Glovier!

Look at my baby!! Doesn't she look like such a big girl?? This was Hopey first time in a big girl swing! It went really well for about 10 minutes, but then she forgot to hold on and flipped off the back...Thanks for not calling Child Protective Services Meg...

That's right!! This was Hopey's first time driving a car!!!!! Oh my goodness, I'm kidding, please put your phones down!! This was actually Hopey's first time PRETENDING to drive a car!

And there you have it!! That concludes our list of "firsts" for this week!
