Easter.

Baby J. woke up ready for Easter Sunday.

Miss Jane was thrilled with her goodies from the Easter Bunny, she especially loved her sparkly pink shoes.

A little Easter snuggle from Grandpa.

We thought Carter wouldn't be too fond of Baby J. but it turns out he likes her just fine.

Mom hid two money eggs in the front for the adults to find. Mike and I did all we could to find both those eggs. Sorry Becky + Cherise for the loving pushes from us.

Jane couldn't decide what was more exciting, finding herself in the window or shoving an egg in her mouth.

Its been five years since I've been able to be home for Easter and boy was it good to be back. Everyone was here too, so it made it double the fun and double the crazy.

Saturday.

This little gal has been teething (one has cut through and boy is it sharp) hence the masive amount of drool in about every photo, and the traces of drool on anyone that picks her up. But through all of that she is one happy camper especially when she gets to help me with laundry. Baby J. is so fascinated by me doing laundry, but today we spiced things up by changing her location ... the basket. She was in love.


After we got all of our Saturday chores done we were off to the Bijiou Market for the second day in a row.

Here are some of my good finds.




I also got an old desk for Mike's graduation gift that I'm going to spruce up, pictures to come later. But boy am I excited for that project. Besides the fact that Mike left his girls to go snowboarding we had a really great Saturday.

Pioneer.

So it just might be because I'm Miss Jane's mom but I think she would make for a dang cute pioneer baby. My friend brought this by so we could try it on Jane and it was a hit. Jane couldn't stop smiling while she was in it, she also couldn't stop sweating but that isn't unusual, after all she is my daughter. But seriously it just goes to show she looks cute in anything.

Mexico.

Cute baby J. and 5 seconds later in the car passed out. She loved Mexico so she was on her best behavior.

Jane's first experience with sand and cold ocean water.She loved it until the cold water hit those cute little chubby legs of hers.

Thanks to these lovely folks this trip was all possible. If it weren't for sweet baby j. Mike and I wouldn't have been welcomed across the border.

First thing Mike did when we hit the beach was set up a time for us to go deep sea fishing. Beautiful day, not to rocky, and surprisingly we all caught a fish. This pictures don't do the size of our fishes justice, I think the camera dropped 10lbs. instead of adding. Oh well, we were there to remember the massive fishes we caught.


That's me in awe at the big catches of the day, not to be confused with a life jacket.


Such a lady that baby Jane, she seriously loves to cross her legs. Especially when she is naked, it's pretty cute.
Mike para sailing, he had never gone so he just had to go. Plus we wanted to see him do it from the beach, he was pro at it. I guarantee that I would have crashed.


Random picture but it is rather entertaining in my mind. Love these two.
This is just to show how good i look in candid pictures, I just really love smelling my surroundings. ha. Note to self I will be in charge of the camera next time.


This was pretty much Jane's life, chewing or sucking on an object while lounging around. Seriously best baby ever, didn't ever really cry, went with the flow with anything and loved loved loved the attention of all her Mexican admirers. We seriously lucked out with this little gal.

Socks.

So maybe Mike isn't quite used to giving Jane a bath... but Jane sure loves her socks in the bath.

Rewind.

Maybe I'll start off at Christmas. This year we were with Mike's family, Jane loved the hustle and bustle of her cousins it gave her a lot to look at, the whole time she just sat on my lap and stared at them.

Jane was also thrilled with her Christmas Eve jammies.

The boys woke up rather early and Jane is used to sleeping in until 9am so here is her sleepy face, she was a trooper though. No crabs from this girl she just continued sitting and staring at her cousins. Mike and I had a really really great Christmas, he got the fishing pole of his dreams and Mike's parents got me..... a Kinect for the xbox. I'm obsessed. Every night before going to bed I have to do a dance from the dancing game. It leaves me sweaty and sore, since this is the only exercise I have done in over 1yr. I love the kinect!

Now on to 2011, Jane and I went to Spokane for 2 wks and let me tell you it was fun! Jane loved her cousins on the other side too. The last weekend we drove over to Seattle to see my brother and his family and Mike flew into Seattle so he could join us for the festivities. We went to the Harry Potter exhibit, which was magical. The best part was my nephew Lucas halfway through having a deep realization that Harry Potter must be real because he was looking at his actual wand. We all went with it.

Baby J. loved the butterfly room at the Seattle science center, I however was sweating a ton because they have to have the room's temp at 80 degrees and very humid.

Naturally it was raining in Seattle so Cherise got creative and came up with this cute look. Personally I think she should wear her scarfs like this on sunny days too.

Jane's attempt at rice cereal. Not much stayed in but she did a good job.

Baby J. at the YMCA, she loves loves the water. Her whole body just relaxes when she hits the water. Afterwords, she got to take her first shower, I thought I would have a scared little baby but she loved it.
Oh, Carter put some big boy panties on his head and this is what we got... a little thug. He came over to show me his moves and he just bounced his hip and snapped. We were dying, he's obviously seen Nate do this before!
