Kari's Birthday

We got together at my parents house to celebrate my 31st Birthday! My mom made a yummy low-cal meal since I was still doing my Weight Loss Bootcamp, however she used vanilla Greek yogurt instead of the plain so the shrimp fettuccine was a little sweet! haha. But, it was the thought that counts.

 Opening gifts.

 Bijin gift certificate!

 Neal and I being silly and posing with the stuffed bunny my mom had out!

 Blakely enjoyed some orange slices!

 Blakely was so excited to help blow out the candles!

 Make a wish!

Love that sweetheart and her hugs! What a great birthday celebration!

Amelia's Growing Up!

Amelia is rolling over! My Mom watched the girls while we were in Hermann and Amelia rolled over in her crib and then she showed us when we got home! Here she is after her roll over!

Blakely is excited about her sister rolling over too!

Amelia loves this caterpillar that Blakely got for her. She has really gotten more interested in her toys, playing with them and looking at them. 

Cutie!

She also is big enough to play in the exersaucer!

Look at that face! I had to get her in this adorable outfit that my sister got for her before she outgrew it! So cute.

Smiling, happy baby! Growing up so quickly!

Amelia's Baptism

We celebrated Amelia's baptism on 3/18/12 with our families. It was such a special day for us. We did a special baptism ceremony at COR and our whole family was able to come stand around Amelia while she was baptized and then we hosted a reception at our home.

Amelia carried on a tradition that we started with Blakely and wore her Aunt Kandace's baptism gown.

Mommy and Amelia before the service.

Amelia also wore the bracelet that we had given to Blakely for her baptism. Sisters share, right?!?!

Blakely and GiGi.

Everyone lovin on Amelia.

I made a banner for Amelia with Kandace's help! I love banners and it matches her room!

Aunt Brandi with Amelia.

Our family all crowded into our Prairie Village house.

The last time hosting a party there all squeezed together! haha.

I had the best spot in the whole house! 

All together and then you can see Amelia and I in her "nursery" with all the light!

This crazy girl loves to dance and twirl!

and she loves attention!

What a character!

Adorbs!

Amelia was all tuckered out from her big day and feel asleep in her baptism dress.

So sweet.

Her special blessing ring that Kandace made.
