1st Birthday!

So on May 6th we celebrated Jaylee's first birthday. I can't believe that my little girl is already one! Craziness, life goes by way too fast. She is now walking, talking, and getting into anything and everything.

Celebrating with Blake's Family


The Awesome Cupcakes that the girls made

She loved her gifts!

Celebrating with Amy's Family

We decided to do a Very Hungry Caterpillar Birthday




Oh what a cute little family ;)

As you can see she didn't like getting her hands dirty



She got a dog and a cell phone for her birthday, we are in trouble!

BLAKE PASSED THE BAR!!!

We just found out today that Blake passed the bar exam! Yipee! We are so excited!

We took pictures in December for Blake's graduation and never mailed them out, so we decided to just post it on our blog for all to see.

Jaylee

Jaylee is 11 months today!!! Crazy! I can't believe that her first birthday is coming up. She is getting so big and loves to imitate everything we do. We were sitting in the front room watching the Jazz game and she was standing there looking at my dad who had his leg crossed and after looking at him 3 or 4 times she finally crossed her leg too while still standing. It was the cutest thing ever.
She can now stand on her own for about 30 seconds and just today she took 3 or 4 steps! She will be walking by her first birthday if she keeps going at this rate. She is our little spitfire, full of attitude (it is cute most of the time).

Cruising

So again I have been horrible at updating. So here's a overview of the past few months
January- Blake studied for the bar
February- Blake studied for the bar and took it (We won't hear about the results of the test until the end of April)
March- Blake and I celebrated his being done by cruising!

We went on a Mexican Riviera Cruise after Blake got done with the bar because it was definitely time for a vacation. We snorkeled and went para-sailing in Cabo San Lucas, and then we went into the jungle on a canopy tour in Puerto Vallarta. They had 12 zip lines and the longest one took you down the mountain side and was over 1600 ft. It was a blast! Thanks to both our families who took care of Jaylee and spoiled her while we were away.

December Update

So I haven't been good at updating sorry, but this is what happened during the crazy month of December...

First, Graduation
Blake finished up finals and graduated! YAY! Jaylee and I are so proud.

Second, Moving
We packed up and moved from Spokane back to Utah into my parents basement. It was sad to leave, we had so many special friends that we grew so close to and will never forget.
Oh and special thanks to Blake's mom and dad and the church members there who helped us pack up and load all of our stuff!

Third, Christmas
It was so fun having Jaylee with us this Christmas. She was much more interested in the bows and wrapping paper than any of her cool toys.








I finally got my Kitchen Aid that I have been dreaming about for years! YAY!






We went to see the lights at temple square, it was freezing but fun!



Fourth, The Bar
Blake started studying for the bar 3 days after Christmas so he didn't get much of a break, dang! I will be happy when February is over and he isn't as stressed. Although he is still thinking about doing another year of school (he is crazy!)

Baby Pictures

I was going through some of our pictures and came across baby pictures of me and Blake, so I decided to compare them to Jaylee's pictures now. I dunno about you, but I think that Jaylee and Blake's baby picture look almost identical! They have the same pose and everything!

It's great to be a kid!

Jaylee and I were able to go to Disney on Ice with our good friends Rach, Ava, and little Aurie and we had a blast. I have to say that when I heard it was coming to Spokane I wanted to go more for me than for Jaylee. I went last year with my mom and Lacey and we loved it. There is something about Disney that brings out the inner kid in me and I love it.
When we got there it had just started and it was really loud and poor Jaylee started shaking all over. She started crying until I put her binky in and sat down. After that she seemed intrigued with all the lights and characters moving. She fell asleep in my arms during the Princess part when they played all the theme songs until after intermission when Mickey and friends popped out and startled her, but overall she seemed to enjoy the show.

Bowling

We were able to go bowling with our friends last weekend and we had a blast! We decided that bowling can be a frustrating game cuz it's hard to be consistently good without a lot of practice and we were all a bit rusty but we still had a great time.


(Thanks MeiLani for the pictures!)

Jaylee Laughing

Our cute little friend Ava was jumping up and down and Jaylee thought it was hilarious!
