Her First Boat Ride

We've been going out on the boat with out friends, and this was her very first boat ride... She had a blast!!! She's my little water girl!


Auntie Roonie (My friend Chelsee) helping Mary into the boat




Getting into the boat for the very first time!


"Umm, mom? I can't move my face..."

Enjoying a little snack on our way to the beach

I was trying to get her to take a nap, and she found some sunglasses...She's so hip!

Driving the boat, what a pro!

Looking at the bubbles... She'll say "Ooh, bubble!" And point to it!!

Driving again, she was just that good at it!! Haha

Big girl bed

A few weeks ago, I came into Mary's room to find her trying to climb into her crib! I thought, "Uh-oh, it won't be to much longer now..."



Sure enough, I went in after her nap time, and found her climbing OUT of her crib!

So, Mary is now in a "big girls" bed. I went out and she helped me pick out her new princess bed set. She's so good about climbing into bed when she's tired (Granted, I have found her a few times lying on the floor by her book shelf, or in front of the door...) But for the most part, she's doing great!!

My little baby isn't a baby anymore...

Our "Photo Shoot"

My friend, Chelsee, is in the process of trying to become a professional photographer. She wanted to add to her portfolio, so she asked if Mary and I would pose for her. Here are some of the pictures:
(Keep in mind they haven't been touched up yet! Also, some are sideways...I tried to fix them, but they still uploaded that way...)

Just because some people didn't recongize me (hehe) the girl with Mary in the following pictures is me!! I guess I don't look the same when I wear make-up and wear my hair down!!! :-)

Most of these are not going into the portfolio... Some are just cute pictures of her!!

More of our "photo shoot"

These are some of the pictures that have already been edited!!! Such a cutie!!

Small Update

Well, it's been awhile since I've updated. A big reason is because our camera has finalling commited zut-zut... But we just got another one so new picures will be coming soon!! But, or most recent news to report: Mary has used the potty twice since Saturday!!! I'm pretty excited, because it won't be much longer till we're out of diapers!!! Richard will be going to Georgia at the end of May to look for our house!! We've already found some online that we like and have been talking to our realtor so its just a matter of time!!! But, like I said, I'll be putting some pictures up soon!!

More of Aunt TT's visit- Stonehenge

This was built by a man for his wife. It then was turned into a War memorial. Mary loved running around and chasing Daddy. It was a nice drive and we had a great time!

There was a little hike down the hill and Mary loved climing on the rocks!! She kept leaving the path to go climb more rocks!!

Our little mountain goat!

Aunt TT's Trip to Oregon

Aunt TT flew back with me and Mary to do a little sigh seeing (and to help me out on the flight!) Unfortantly, our plans of going to the coast were ruined because it snowed!! So, we just drove around the mountains by our home. We got some VERY nice pictures!! It was a little overcast, but still... Nature is truely beautiful!


That's the base of Mount Adams

An elk (I think it was an elk farm, but it was still pretty neat!)

Mommy, Daddy, and Mary

A pretty lake we came upon!

There are wild turkey in the snow. They all flew off at the same time!
A beautiful valley we drove over
More of the valley...

When we got home, Mary just wanted to enjoy some juice and her princess chair!
