Finally a nice day outside


We finally had a day that it didn't rain and wasn't too cold, so I took Melora outside to sit in the grass for a bit. This was the first time that she had ever sat on grass or felt it so she wasn't quite sure what to think.

Once she figured out that she could pull the grass and play with it she liked it.

A while back I got her some cute sunglasses to wear this summer. If only I could get her to keep them on for a bit rather than take them off.
Sorry for all the pictures, but she was just so happy and photogenic today.

$5 Footlong Birthday!

Today is my nephew Jake's 5th birthday! His mom asked him what he would like for supper on his big day and he sang the Subway $5 footlong song. haha So my sister and her husband took him out for Subway.

Happy Birthday Jake! We love you so much and are so lucky to be able to see you and spend time with you. We love the fun little boy you are becoming and are excited for many more fun times ahead.

My first Mother's Day

Today was a great day. It was my first Mother's Day! Melora and I stayed over at my parents' house last night and went to church with my mom this morning. It was nice to get to spend some quality time with my mom and she enjoyed having Melora at her house. This morning Melora was showing off before church. My parents' have a motorcycle rocker at their house. I put Melora on it for the first time and she knew exactly what to do...

After church we went to Pizza Ranch to eat with my dad, sister, brother-in-law and my nephew Jake. It sure was yummy! My sister created a really cool little box for me. When you open the lid there was a bunch of pictures of Melora from this past year. Very cool! After lunch it was time for me to head for home.

When Melora and I got home there was a vase with three red roses and a sweet card that was from Melora. Pretty sure George helped her write the card. :)  Here is my other Mother's Day gift that I received.

I got to help design the piece. It includes Melora's birthstone and behind the heart is Melora's date of birth. Such a fun way to honor such a sweet little girl. I'm so lucky!
