1 Bithday Party Guests

Patrick had his 1st birthday party on Saturday. He made all his guests go down to the studio for a picture with him. I think this will have to be an annual tradition!

First up: Great Grandma Hilma

Next: Old Great Uncle Roger or OGUR..

Grandma and Grandpa Bliss

Cousin Madison and Aunt Allison

Having fun with Aunt Allison

Nana and GB

And lastly, Great Grandpa Bliss and Gerta

He's a pretty lucky kid to have all this family here to love him up!

Easter is a comin'

So we have a busy week ahead of us. Groceries tonight, cooking/baking tomorrow, birthday party with both sides of the family on Saturday and then Easter on Sunday. Whew! what a weekend. My little bunny is sure to have a great weekend and get lots of lovin'!

Play date

As moms we have come to realize the importance of play dates. Sometimes I'm not sure why, because we don't really get to talk a whole lot and the kids don't always play together. I think it has something to do with getting out of the house, changing up the routine and realizing that there are others that play this crazy game of motherhood with you. I am so thankful that my friends have enjoyed motherhood at the same time as I. It makes life much more bearable!

Here are a few pictures of our time with Miles and Shay.

These feet were made for walking

and that's just what they'll do!


Patrick has been walking more and more everyday. We are convinced that he will get all his walking done this week and by the weekend (when the family is here) decide that he is done with that trick!

Patrick has been propping himself up with his head so he can use both hands to play. I think it is just too funny!

Somebunny can stand!

And with his Easter basket. Just need a moment to aww... my cutie Patrick!

I ♥ faces

Here is my weekly submission for I ♥ faces My friend and I.

Here is Patrick and his great friend Miles.

Frog vs Mouse

Ryan: So who would win a fight to the death? A frog or a mouse?
Me: a frog, he is faster
Ryan: but a mouse has teeth
Me: why am I answering this question?
Ryan: I am trying to line up Patrick's blocks (with animal pictures on them) by who would win a fight to the death.

The differences between moms and dads.
