Melene drinking her first malt shake at

the soda shop in Cedar City, UT!
Melene enjoying her first wagon ride,
Logan was such a good sport pulling
her all the way to the school for some play time.

We had fun on our walk to the school picking
flowers on our way back to their house.

September 5, 2007

We went to Cedar City, UT to

meet and visit some friends whom

use to live here in Winnemucca!

It was a lot of fun and Logan loved

holding Melene as much as much as he could!

Macey loving on Melene, she had all the attention in the world. We had fun hanging out with the Jensen's!

Rhett, Stephanie, & Melene just relaxing and hanging out!

did really well and was a good sport!

presents and smiling big for Papa! Thank you so much

to everyone for helping us to celebrate Melene's first year

of her precious life. She is so much fun and such a blessing!

a little early as we were in Denver on September 13!

Thank you to all the friends and family that joined us!

Here are Melene, Becca, Alily, & Dominick a few of the

kids that helped us to celebrate her big day a bit early.

Melene waving to her guests and Becca smiling

big next to her. Becca is the daughter of a couple

I grew up with here in Winnemucca.

More of our Honored Guests!

Melene more interested in licking the frosting

off of the candle rather then digging into her cake

her Aunt Kat made for her.

Melene didn't seem to mind being the center

of attention for the most part she loved it!

And she has got one proud Mama.

The Malones, Williams, and Papa visit

while celebrating Melene's big day.

Grandma & Grandpa Great came too! It was fun

getting to see and visit with them.

Yay, now she can have her own instead of

taking Mama's all the time.

Kevin, Melene, and I went to the pool party

for our church! It was too cold to get in the pool,

but we had fun all the same.

August 13, 2007

Feeding herself, she is getting

to be such an independent little girl.

August 9, 2007

I really thought she was going to walk,but instead

she continues to butt scoot, crab walk, and crawl.

We were invited to our friends house
up the street for lemon drops and a
wonderful evening outside. It was a
beautiful Nevada night.
