My Birthday Present from Mommy and Daddy...

I have been waiting for over a week for this to come in! It finally is here! Jon and I just spent the last hour putting it together. Jon is such a great father and husband. He is so tired from working all day and still has work to do but he took time to put this together because he knew how much it would mean to me. Soley is fast asleep and I can't wait to see her reaction in the morning. Let me know what you think!!!

Happy Fathers Day!

Oh how time goes by so fast. Happy Fathers Day Daddy.

Hello

I am SO SO SO Sorry that I have been missing from the blog, things have been so busy around here! Now that soley is one!!! And her birthday is over I will sure to be back in full swing. For those of you who did not get to make it to the party it was amazing, I will post about it soon! For everyone who came, thank you so much! I had so much fun, planning and having the party, we will be sure to do one every year! We had our photographer shoot at the party so as soon as she sends me the photos I will pass them along on here! Here is one that Samantha sent me so it can hold you over!

Walking on the beach...

Cleaning...

Soley is showing off her cleaning skills...

VACATION NUMBER ONE!!!

I hate to say it but we are back! We has SO SO SO much fun at the beach last week, I did not want to come home at all! Soley was so happy there! She loved the pool, sand and ocean. On top of all that Soley is a very active little girl and it really wore her out! She was taking a three hour morning nap! Jon and I are planning another trip to the beach in September and I can't wait! Here are a few pics from the trip I will post more later...

Eating Corn...

How cute it this? Just a quick post of Soley on Vacation. Will have tons of pics when we return! I just LOVE LK in the backround looking at "Soley Oley" (that is what she calls her)

Sitting on the Potty...

Before we left for vacation we decided to get Soley her first Potty. When we return I plan to start working with her. Realistically it will be a long time before she is potty trained but it is nice to start early and get her used to sitting in the morning and not being afraid of it!

Miss you Brayden...

My friend Brayden went away for a whole week, so I decided to bring him a treat for the plane ride... (I know that food is the way to his heart)

Play Date with Olivia

We have a new friend, and boy is she cute! We are only two weeks apart!

Easter...

Soley's first Easter was a blast... I had such a good time doing all the commercial Easter treats and most of all the sharing the true meaning of Easter with Soley. I know that she is too little to really understand this year but someday she will understand the true meaning of Easter. This year things were really put into perspective for me. I can't even imagine how much God loves all of us, the love that I have for Soley is like nothing I have ever felt before and to know that God loves each and every one of us more then that is mind blowing to me. I am so thankful that Jesus paid it all for us, so that we can be washed as white as snow.

My first guitar lessons...

I love watching this video, Soley has had such a good time with Karalee and Nathan, we will be sad for them to go home tomorrow.

Talking... (forgot to add the video!!!)

Soley has started babbling so much! Today she was talking out the window for a long time, it was so cute!

Karalee & Nathan

Just a quick post, Jon's cousin and her fiance are in town and I wanted to post a picture of Soley opening her gift from Karalee. It was so nice of them to think of her, and it was the cutest outfit!!!

Jammie & Grampa

So we had the pleasure of having Karen and Steve in town all last week, and boy was Soley happy. I don't think that she took her eyes off them the whole week! They played with her 24-7! It was also a nice break for Jon and I! We can't wait until they come back again. The morning they left Soley woke up and went looking for them all around the house, it was sad! But I told her they would be back for her Birthday party!

I am a horrible Sister in Law...

Ok so I am posting this because I am too embarrassed to actually call my SIL and tell her sorry! Ever since I had Soley I have been all over the place but this week I forgot to call her on her birthday!! Sam I am SO SO SO SORRY!!! Please forgive me... I just can't believe I did this!!! I wanted to say a few things about her as a birthday gift ( obviously belated )

1.) She is the best SIL anyone could ask for

2.) She never has said anything to me about being a crazy neurotic mom, even though I harassed her all the time.

3.) She will help you out with anything you need at anytime

4.) She is the first person I call when I need to talk about something (after my hubby of course)

5.) I am so thankful for her everyday

6.) She really is my best girl friend

Sam, I love you so much! Happy Birthday!

9 Month Pictures are in...

I have to hand it to her, she is incredible! It also does help that she is shooting the most beautiful girl in the world. Thanks Amanda, I love them!
