My 1st Birthday!

Yesterday, June 22nd, was MY 1ST BIRTHDAY!!!

Yup, that's me ~ all smiles, I'm like this every day, but even more so today, cause it's my birthday!!!

Mommy & Daddy had a VERY special day planned for me!!!

Originally, Mommy & Daddy were going to take me to the zoo, but it was raining, so we decided to go to the Aquarium!!!

~

I'm all set and ready to go see all the fishy's...

Once we got in, it was VERY crowded, so Daddy decided to put in the backpack so I could see better than in my stoller!
"Hi, Penguins!"...I LOVED the penguins!!!
LOOK! I think I see a fish in that seaweed...
We saw giant turtles...

...and TONS of fish!!!

Sometimes when the big fish swam by I got scared...

...but Mommy or Daddy were right there with me!

Look...little fish!

Before we left, Mommy & Daddy let me see the penguins again...those guys are SO cool!!!

I loved the penguins SO MUCH, that Mommy & Daddy got me a penguin of my very own!!!

It was great 1st birthday...

...I hope we can go back to the Aquarium again soon!

A special note from Mommy & Daddy...

Happy 1st Birthday Mya!!!

We love you VERY MUCH and are truly blessed to have you in our lives!!! We hope you had fun on your birthday, because we surely had fun celebrating with you!!!

You are our little angel...you bring us more joy & happiness than you could ever imagine!

Love Always & Forever,

Mommy & Daddy

Auntie Catie's Graduation

On the same day as my birthday party, Auntie Catie graduated from High School.

I was too tired to go, but Mommy & Daddy went!

Sorry, I missed it, but we are SO proud of you Auntie Catie!!!

(Especially Mommy, she told me she cried when she saw you graduate!)

Manchester Memorial High School ~ Class of 2009

Heading up to the stage...about to walk up to get her dipolma...
...shaking the Mayor's hand...
...YEAH!!! She did it...dipolma in hand!!!

The proud Dad & Graduate...

Catherine is the last Goeman (from this family at least) to graduate from Memorial!!!

It was kind of a sad day for Mom & Dad (aka Grandma & Grandpa), but then they got over it and were excited it was done! They had made it...5 kids all done and graduated!!!

Again, another VERY special moment...

Gram & Pep were able to make it to Catie's graduation!!!

I LOVE balloons!
We had a ball pit...

I got a little nervous with all those people looking at me!
But, once I got my hug from Mommy and Daddy picked me up, I was ready for my party!

Auntie Erin & Baby Brenna came...

Auntie Nicole came too...Uncle Mitch couldn't make it, he had a charter! ;~(

I'm not too sure about this frosting stuff...

I preferred the chocolate cake over the yellow cake!

Here Daddy, you have some!

I'm not crying, I was in the middle of talking!

Again, I LOVE balloons!

Ok, I'm done!

Time for presents
