I never got around to posting any of these precious newborn pictures we had taken of Aliyah, so I'm posting them now with her birthday pictures...I just love them!
Here is a precious one of her and her Daddy dear~

Mommy and Baby

Happy first birthday, little sweetheart---
we love you lots!


God be with you, little one,
on your very first birthday,
and may He walk beside you
each step all along life's way.
Gently may He guide you
and guard you from above--
sheltering you with perfect peace, with tenderness, and love.


My sister-in-law, Regina, taught me how to make this wonderful frosting. Thankfully, beings this was the first time I'd made it, she was on hand to help me with it as I would have messed it up I'm afraid! It's a Swiss meringue butter cream--uses lots of egg whites and tons of butter, but is it ever lovely!!! 


Aliyah with her personal baby cake (I used the cupcake on top for that!)

Oh, what a fun yummy mess!:o)
Notice, we changed her clothes for this part:o)

God keep you, Baby dear, and give you a long and blessed life for His glory~ We all love you so much~ what a special gift you are from God and how good He was to bless our lives with you!

God will never forget....

"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands..."
Isaiah 49:15,16a

My little Jensy

Chad nicely endures a bit of ribbing about his truck...for some reason some folks think it's not a very matcho truck, I guess, LOL!:o) (Thought you Coffeys might especially enjoy this:o) But check out all that mud on it...it can't be all that sissy, now, can it!:o) 


So whether it's time shared working...

Or time shared

playing and visiting,

Any time shared with friends is just great!
