Mother's Day!

Kandace, Mom, Blakely and me at church.

Blakely making her silly face. She scrunches up her nose and it is adorable!!!

Our fam.

Blakely with Nana and Grandpa.

Just had to throw this one in...Blakely loves pulling down ALL the magazines and looking (err...ripping) through them all!

Busy planning her 1st Birthday Party, so many ideas and so little time! Boy, has this year gone by fast! Looking forward to celebrating her 1st Birthday with good friends and family and making lots more memories!

Denver Part II

Here is Blakely in her jail cell...oh I mean crib at the hotel! It was the only place that we could put her and know that she could not get into anything! It was a small room and she checked out every inch of it!

Blakely at The Denver Children's Museum, it was awesome! Everyone takes off their shoes and has to put on these sock things so the babies can crawl around everywhere.

Playing with Mommy!

Peek-a-boo.

Playing with Daddy, there were lots of stuffed animals, mirrors, books and toys to crawl around and play with.

Love this one. You can see her cracking up in the mirror!

Playing with magnetic blocks.

Most when in the mouth.

Look, she can spell! haha!

Playing in the "pond" area.

I think she was a little too old for this area. These little lily pads were for little babies to lay in and play with the mobiles.

"I'm outta here, this is for babies."

Going fishing!

At the aquarium with Neal, they went one day during my conference.

A fish they saw.

Blakely looking at more fish.

Pretty fish and coral.

Ohhh..sharks!

Blakely giving me my Mother's day gift!

Worn out after a long day around Denver!

Trying to get her to show us her new tooth that she got while we were in Denver! It is on the bottom right.

It's gone....the gums swelled up around it! I am still trying to get a picture of it, she always has her hands in her mouth! We think there is another one popping up right next to it!

We had a great time in Denver and did lots of fun things. But, boy is it hard to travel with a baby especially through the airport! She was SOOOOOO good, I can't even imagine how it would have gone if she would have had a rough time with it. We enjoyed the family time together and got to see some friends and family while we were there too! Next trip is a beach vacation for Mommy and Daddy! ha!

Denver Part I

At the airport in KC, getting ready to head to Denver. We kept calling Neal "daddy warrior" since he had the stroller flung across him and then he was carrying Blakely in the car seat (so heavy!!!).

Such a good baby on the plane, had a bottle at take off and slept the whole flight!


We were so relieved, I was a little worried about how she would do since she is always on the move these days!

Woke up when we landed!

Headed to get our bags!

At the hotel, loving the King sized bed!

So much room to spread out!

and roll around....

and stretch.....

and giggle....

It was pretty warm the first day that we were in Denver, so we headed to the pool.

Lounging around the pool.

Somebody's mom likes polka dots! ha!

Helping Daddy blow up her float!

Getting in with Mommy!

She LOVED it, we can't wait to go to the pool a lot this summer!

Having fun! She was kicking her little legs under the water, I think that she is going to be a good swimmer.

Playing with Daddy in the pool.

She really enjoyed riding around the pool in her float!

Brrr...it was cold when we got out! But got all snuggled up with Daddy! Denver Part II to come soon...we had lots more fun!

Blakely is 10 Months!

Our 10 month old!!! This was the only picture that I could get of her sitting down and looking at me, she is ALL over the place!

Talking to Mommy from her crib.


ahhh...taking a break.

So precious...

Another angle!

Playing outside in the grass! Major accomplishment...she usually hate the grass and REFUSES to touch it, but she actually played with it!

In her sun hat!

GO, GO, GO pretty much sums up the last month. Blakely is ALL OVER the place, moving constantly and learning tons! She has her own little personality! She is starting to get a bit of an attitude and definitely lets you know if she is unhappy or does not want to do something! She is walking better and better, she takes about 10-15 steps all by herself! She pulls up on everything and is always taking her toys and books out of the bins, she loves emptying things! She has started waving more and and is eating some table food. Still no teeth that we can see but we think she is working on one on the bottom. We are having so much fun together and just went on our 1st family trip to Denver, pics to come soon!
