Mother's Day

This is our tiny girl. She fit into the same outfit that she wore last year on Mother's Day. In case you wanted to know... it's size 3-6 months.

Lucy Pants

Lucy's Grandma (Dave's mom) made some ADORABLE pants with the leftover yarn from the robe she made awhile ago.
So here's the bathrobe...


And here are her new pants! Can you believe how cute they are? Lucy is so lucky :)

Life

I've been too busy to take any photos recently, but here are a couple that my sister in law, Jes, took during our brief time moving into our new home.

Back on Solid Ground

We had a wonderful time on our seven day cruise to the Mexican Riviera. This vacation was given to us as a gift, and we are SOOOOO thankful! We had a great time with Dave's family, and now I'm sad that no one comes to my house to make my bed twice a day.

Here's our ridiculously large ship.

Here's the beautiful banquet hall where we ate a three-course meal every evening.

Now for some crazy cute photos of Lucy...

Having a balcony was SO wonderful.

Lucy loved to play on it and watch the world go by.

We bought Lucy a sweet little dress in Cabo.


I was planning to get tan... apparently I forgot that taking care of a one-year-old doesn't normally involve basking lazily in the sun. So, I'm still fair-skinned but happy.

Last One

We decided to take one final photo of our family in front of our house in Nashville just before we left for the airport. Tomorrow (Friday), papers will be signed and it won't be our house anymore. Thanks for the great memories!

Empty House

I'm feeling a little sad tonight. Goodbye Nashville house.

Lucy's Party

This morning I was setting up for Lucy's party and I decided that there was a shortage of festive decorations. So.. I made a little pink and purple birthday banner, which cheered everything up in a hurry!

I've never been a big fan of buttercream frosting, so I made some whipped cream and added some fun pink sprinkles.

Here's my little birthday beauty in her home-made crown! Boy, was she cute :)

We tried to coax her to blow out the candle, but she just kept reaching for the pretty fire with her hand. We ended up helping her extinguish the flame.

I thought there would be cake and whipped cream everywhere, but Lucy was very composed about the whole thing. I think she was just trying to take it all in.

I was so thrilled to see how much she loves Lilly the doll!

She just kept hugging her and nuzzling her face. Oh what good it did a mama's heart!

Happy Birthday my darling girl.

Preview

So.. I can't really post very many photos from the shoot because I don't want to give away too much before we release our record. BUT.. here are a couple of fun shots of our family. Aren't these great?

Too Busy

I have my favorite blogs that I check semi-obsessively, and I'm SO frustrated when they haven't been updated... and I am TOTALLY that non-updating blogger right now! It's been driving me crazy that I haven't posted anything new in forever, but we finally have a few days in a row at home, and I'm hoping to work on some awesome craftiness.

In the meantime, this is what we've been up to (in non-chronological order, because I can't remember what happened when)...

We've been to the beach in Southern California

.. and northern California..

...Pennsylvania (which made us sleepy)...

Lucy got to hang out with her cousin, Bryce in Costa Mesa...

.. We had an AMAZING photo shoot in Hollywood (I'll be sure to post some of those photos really soon)..

.. and we flew, and flew, and flew

Lucy should be the official poster child for Southwest Airlines. She's been on 52 flights in 10 months. Go baby, go.

Weirdness

I came across this totally disturbing website a few days ago and I am moderately obsessed. It's just so weird!

So.. what do you think? Do Lucy and I look alike in our awful haircuts?




It was brought to my attention that Dave was left out of my original post.. so I just added these :)

Business up front, party in the back!

Waterpark

Lucy took her first trip to a water park a couple days ago. She came with Grandma Pauly and me on the lazy river (sorry, no photos of that :). At first she was very unsure about the whole thing, then by the end, she cried when we got out!

Here she is before we tested the waters.

I wasn't planning to get my hair wet, but Dave talked me into going down the crazy scary water slide (boy, am I proud of myself).

Lucy was SO tired at the end of the day!

High Chair

We just bought Lucy a new high chair. Boy does she look tiny when she sits in it.
It was fun to get some family time on a Sunday afternoon.

Lucy is really into pulling hair right now. Ouch!

Addendum

I was downloading the photos I took of my new fabric, and I came across these photos from camp that I had completely forgotten about. They're from western night during the our last week at Crooked Creek.
