My very first birthday was yesterday...and guess where we went...Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg! Mommy and Daddy took off work to take me there, and it was the best birthday ever! Mommy fed me pancakes and syrup for breakfast (since it was my birthday and all), so I didn't nap all morning. I screamed almost the entire 2 hour trip to the aquarium, but once Daddy got in the backseat with me and held me I fell asleep snuggled in his arms. The ride alone wore my mommy and daddy out, but once I woke up, I was ready to see some fishies! The aquarium was so cool- I got to see big sharks and turtles..and my daddy explained everything to me! I even got to pet a horseshoe crab! All the colors were so bright, and I was so talkative! We got ice cream after lunch- which made me happy- I love ice cream! We got plenty of pictures of the whole day so I can look back on my big day in the future! On the ride home, we wanted to go out to eat...but we were all just pooped! At home, Mommy and Daddy gave me a bath- I got a new book at the aquarium to play with in the bath. I was so tired that I went to bed at 6:30! Whew, what a fun day:)
My birthday party is Saturday! My aunt Beth is making my cake for it- it's Winnie-the-Pooh! She is really good at baking! I hope there are lots of people there- my mom invited 30 people! For lunch, we're having chili- my mimi is making some and so is my grandma! I am especially excited because I get to see my great-grandma oden from Indiana! I haven't seen her in a long time! My family from Knoxville is coming too- I haven't seen them in a while either! There are also some family members coming that I have never met, so that's the most exciting part! I can't wait to open my presents and show everyone how good I can walk and talk!
My mommy and daddy say I am the cutest thing in the world...especially when I dance and sing to the radio. My favorite songs are "Cowboy Casanova" by Carrie Underwood and "Honky Tonk Stomp" by Brooks and Dunn. I will dance to almost any song though- and I love the guitar! Hopefully someday I can sing and dance on a stage!
Well, that's all for now- I'll update soon!
Love, Blakley Kate
I'm glad to see that she had a great birthday, it's amazing how quickly she is growing. Also great to see that Grandma Oden made it down for the party. I hope y'all had fun. We wish we were closer and could have made it. Love y'all.
