5 months & Mother's Day

Lily Claire turned 5 months young on April 24th (Easter) so I am a little late posting this but it has been wild around here the past few weeks. My classes started today(master's degree) so it is about to get a little more hectic than ever!!

5 months
Let me just say that we absolutely cannot believe that Lily is 5 months! Time truly flies by when you are having fun and that's just what we are doing! She is more fun than ever right now...rolling over constantly (she will NOT stay on her back anymore), grinning and giggling, playing the tickle monster, and eating 3 meals a day of baby food! She is such a "ham"...she thinks that she is the cutest thing ever (and she is) and she is a camera hog! She sees the camera come out and she is all about it, smiling and giggling, putting on a show to be exact! I mean just take a look at our Easter pictures, we were able to get so many good ones because she LOVES it, which makes me very happy considering I love to take pictures especially of her!

Take a look at her 5 month pictures...

Mother's Day 2011

My very first mother's day....where do I even begin!?! First of all I had a 3 day weekend to spend with my princess so that made it even better! Friday Lily and I spent the day lounging around the house playing inside and out (which makes her very happy). Friday night we did a little shopping for the both of us and went out to eat with my mom and my friend Shelley! Saturday Lily joined my mom & I at Fancy Nails for us to get manicures and pedicures! That afternoon Zach, Lily, & I visited with friends and later cooked out for dinner! And best of all, Sunday morning we went to church, had lunch, and the three of us spent the day together! I love when the three of us can spend the entire day together! Sunday night my family, Ken & Fran, and a couple of our friends came over and we all had dinner together! There is nothing I cherish more than spending time with family and them getting to see Lily grow up! Needless to say I couldn't have asked for a better 1st Mother's Day! Spending my 3 day weekend with friends and family was just what I needed!

Happy Easter! (better late than never!)





Lily's first Easter was a great one! We celebrated Easter on Saturday because Zach & Bryan both had to work Easter Sunday. All of my family joined together at my parents' house to eat and celebrate our Christ and Savior. First, Zach, Lily, and I took our Easter pictures...if I do say so myself they turned out fantastic! Here are a few of my favorites...



After taking pictures my family arrived and we began getting dinner ready. We had a great time visiting with everyone!


On Sunday, Zach had to work...he ended up getting off at 12 and was able to come spend the day with me and Lily! Easter morning Lily and I got dressed and ready for her first Easter Sunday at church! My mom went with us to church and we had lunch afterwards. When Zach got home we played in the yard and grilled out with friends that night! It was a very special Easter weekend and we are so glad that we were able to spend it with my family and our friends!
