Cousin Bek's Graduation

On May 20th, we headed west for my niece's graduation.  It is hard to believe she is old enough to be graduating from high school!  Sure wish I had a scanner, because if I did, you would see how cute she was as a toddler.  Of course, she still is, and still has the dark curly hair that she had then. 

My sister trying not to cry.  :-)

Afterwards we celebrated at my parents' house.

 





 Of course, there is always time for being goofy...

How do my glasses look?

Okay, they really do look better on Pecan.  :-)

A little late, but Congratulations to Bek! We love you, and are so proud of you!

Out of State

On May 11th, we went out of state for the first time.  Grandmother, Pecan, and I went shopping and visited with my Aunt Sis and Uncle Fred which was also their first time to meet.

Update

Be prepared...I plan to have several posts over the next few days.  Get ready...get set...go!  :-)

Mom's Assistant

This weekend I spent time going through the clothes in my closet trying to determine if I have any clothes I can wear to work when I start back next week (which I'm trying hard not to think about). Aliza was my assistant giving me her opinion on everything.  Do you think she could get any more comfortable in doing it?  :-)

My First Mother's Day

Not sure what happened to my original Mother's Day post, but it seems there were problems with the server.  It is now gone, and I cannot remember exactly what I wrote. I do know I wasn't exactly sure I could put into words how I felt about my first Mother's Day.  It seemed almost like a dream, because I have a precious daughter that is so joyful.

Here are the pictures I posted.

The sweet note Aliza sent me.

My sweet Mother's Day gifts from my baby.

Aliza and I with my mother.

Look at that adorable face. :-)

Pretty laid back.

This appears to be my dad sitting outside alone, but look closer...

...and closer...

...and yet closer...

How sweet is that?! 

Happy 2 Months

And the pictures she will not like me for one day, but I love her facial expressions!

Since I'm so far behind in updating the blog, I'm posting her 1st month picture. I cannot believe how fast the time has flown!  

This was a little blurry, but I love her smile!

Oh What a Life

Okay, this is going to be out of chronological order, but it was too cute not to share.  Each week, Aliza and I head west to visit my parents.  Today she was a little fussy, so my dad took her outside which is where she LOVES to be.  He recently bought a new toy to help him with his gardening, but he thought it would be just right for her.

What do you think?

Before we go for a ride, we need some shades.

Here we go...

The ride seemed to do the trick.

But who really needed the nap?
