Enjoying time with her boyfriend Tim....these will make great pictures for their wedding slide show one day!

Vegas Baby

Every once in a while we all deserve a little escape for a weekend of good fun! For my friend Paul's 30th birthday, his wonderful wife Sarah planned a weekend getaway to good old Vegas! Seeing as Todd and I are about the only one of our old friends with a child, Todd was good enough to let me go and enjoy the weekend while he enjoyed a weekend home with his little girl! What a wonderful husband I have!

It was pretty funny seeing as how I was the 13th wheel on this trip....6 couples and me. Ryan and Sarah we kind enough to let me be their roomie for the weekend and Sarah even posed with me while they were taking "couples" pictures during dinner! Good friend!!

And of course, made the needed visit to the garden at the Bellagio.....absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

What a fantastic weekend with the best of friends!!! Can't wait to do it again somewhere down the road!

Soooo Big!

This is one of those classic baby moves that I think everyone tries to capture on tape at some point, but regardless it is always so stinkin cute....especially when it is your own kiddo!

Easter Eggs and Rice Krispies!

I cannot wait until Reese is old enough to really understand and get excited about the holidays! Even though she is still too young to really enjoy holidays like Easter, it is impossible not to try and get her involved. So, of course we dyed some Easter eggs....Todd and I attempted to get a little creative and came out with some decent looking eggs!
We don't quite trust Reese yet to drop breakable objects into permanent dye....that will take some time....so she sat nearby and watched patiently as we created our works of art!

Of course, we could not allow her first Easter to pass without her very own Easter basket! With no teeth, it is pretty tough to fill the eggs with tasty candies and treats, so we had to get creative. Her eggs were filled with Goldfish, Cheerios, and Rice Krispies....so exciting.
Once she got past her initial disappointment with what was (or was not) inside the eggs, she decided to make the best of it and feast on some tasty puffed rice! Mmmmm......

And of course, we decided to enjoy the holiday with a trip down to the Willamette Valley wineries with Todd's co-worker Connie. This was her final weekend of a 4 month stint in Portland and we decided to show her some of the area's best! Happy Easter to all!!!
