Volleyball

This is how we spent Easter Weekend. It was the last volleyball tournament for the season. We were in Kansas City. I enjoy volleyball, but will be glad not to see another hotel room for a while. I don't really like hotels anyway, and we have been spending a lot weekends in hotels!

It's Friday - I'm in love

Week 58. We were in Kansas City for a volleyball tournament last Friday. I took the pics Friday, but did not get a chance post until today. They are not the best pics, but I sewed the dress she is wearing, with a lot of help from my mother in law!

The Easter Bunny

After we saw how much she loved Santa, we knew the Easter Bunny was not going to be much better. She did not disappoint. She was all about him while we were standing in line. She kept pointing at him and talking. Not much of a fan close up though! ha!

Week 57. Please excuse the stuff all over the house. I was trying to mop, and as you can imagine, it is not easy with a 13 month old running around.



Taking pics of her is always challenging! She head butts me, tries to put the lens cap back on, or just runs away. I recently got several pics of her finger on the center of the lens. ha!



Her hair is getting so long! Look at these curls! She is going to be my curly red headed, big blue eyed girl!

Week 56. I know. It is Wednesday, but the pics were taken Friday. With my iphone, therefore the amazing quality! ha! Better late than never right.

Week 55. I know it is Saturday. I took the pics yesterday, but never got around to posting. She was not really in the mood to take pics yesterday. She was playing with her baby and did not wish to be interrupted! ha!

Middle Child

I feel as if Garrett has not had a lot of face time on the blog lately and when I look back at this I will probably wonder where he was! ha! He actually has an amazing imagination and is able to occupy himself most of the time. He plays with legos or runs around outside. He loves going to the nature center. He hates to have his pic taken unless it is his idea. He loves science and hopes to be a scientist one day. I think he will do something with animals. He has the most precious heart, you just have to get past the wild boy every once in a while! ha!

Week 54. She went to her one year well child check up this week. She weighs 25 lbs. 13.5 oz. and is 31.25 inches long ~ that is in the 95th percentile! She is still a big girl! She gets to drink whole milk, which she is pretty much refusing to do. I am also trying to wean her and she is fighting that. At this rate she will be 12 before she is weaned (not really, I promise! ha!)! She is starting to walk more and more and she is getting faster and faster! She loves it when she walks fast. She will hug me and laugh if she has gotten some speed in her step! ha!

The Birthday Party

We had Carolina's birthday party last weekend. Sean's parent came from Minnesota and his sister came from Denver. My family came also, just a much shorter drive! ha! We didn't have a lot of people because I didn't want this big stressful party. It was still stressful, but fun! I went with the owl theme. My mother collected owls so there were owls around my house when I was little so I really love all the owl stuff that is out now. I had a friend of mine make her 1st birthday shirt then took it to Creative Kitchen and they copied the shirt for her cake! I love it! The pictures just do not do it justice. Then I did pink and blue Jones Soda and finger foods.





As I said I had a sweet friend make her onsie. I made the tutu and my mother in law made the leggings. She loves tutus! She is such a girl!



With the cake, she started out tentative, but she dug in with glee! I just cannot even explain how giddy she was! I gave her some juice to help wash the icing down and she did not want to touch the cup. She finally did, and then licked the icing off the handle! She didn't want to waste any of it! ha!





After a bath, she opened her presents. She proved once again that she is very much a girly girl. She loved the babies, but she also loved the car Sean and I got for her! Funny story. Elmo has a bottle. Carolina has never had a bottle. I thought she would just equate it with a sippy cup or a paci, but she puts it on Elmo's neck. I have tried showing her it goes in his mouth, but she will stick it back on his neck. I have no idea what she thinks it is! ha!





She was one little worn out birthday girl!
