Where's Mace?

Mace and I play this game quite often. I put him on our bed. Then I throw the covers over him and say, "Where's Mace?" He is so cute. He lays on the bed and holds still for a few seconds. After that, he gets too excited and starts moving and laughing!

"Where's Mace?"

"There He is!"

Love this one!

Check out his teeth! He has got six now!

If you are wondering, he is holding a little bottle of baby lotion. This boy finds the funniest things to play with. We buy him toys and he wants the bottles of lotion and toothbrushes or whatever else he can find! He will carry them around all day! Gotta love it!

I love these Girls!

These are some of the best friends I have ever had! Two of them are moving soon, so we decided to spend an evening together! (Kid-Free!!)

Going around the table, starting in the lower left corner!

Lindsie, Kim, Michelle, Cathryn, Me, Janeth, and Cami

All lined up!

Janeth's famous pose! (One of those things that you probably needed to be there for . . . )

Lindsie's famous pose! (Again, needed to be there!)

Glamor shots! Love these girls!

We tried jumping- didn't quit work. (But, you gotta love my hair!)

Ready, Set. . . didn't work again!

We did it!

"Girls, we are Hott!"

This was such a wonderful evening! Thank you girls for being so awesome! I am lucky to have you as friends!

Clap Clap

A few weeks ago, we went on a family walk. At some point during our walk, Mace figured out how to clap his hands. He was so proud of himself and kept practicing for most of the night. He would look at me, clap his hands and when I would clap back, he burst out laughing. It was so funny. I wish I had my camera that night, but oh well, at least we got one of him!

Loving the Lemons

Tonight Mace tried lemons.

He didn't like the first taste.

After a while, he couldn't get enough of it.

Nom nom nom

This one is my favorite

After eating the lemon, he tried some ice cream.

I think he liked the lemon more. The ice cream was pretty cold!

Mother's Day

This year was my first Mother's Day! Tyler was great! He let me sleep in, made a delicious breakfast, and sent me on a scavenger hunt all over our house. With every clue I found, I also found one of my favorite treats! My last surprise was a new pair of shoes! I love them!

Thank you Tyler! You gave me a wonderful Mother's Day!

Besides celebrating Motherhood, Tyler and I celebrated out third anniversary! I am glad we are married. I love it! I cannot imagine my life without Tyler being in it.

Here is what happened this Mother's Day!

Tyler loves when Mace falls asleep on him. (This almost never happens.)

I made carrot cake and Mace helped me eat the pieces I trimmed off!

This is one of Mace's new things. He presses his feet against everything!

This one just had to be documented: Mace is eating mashed potatoes. He has never liked them till now!

Playing with toys at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

I love this cute face!

Swing, swing!

And more swinging!

Favorite Things

These are a few of Mace's favorite things:

The Doorstop

Mesh bag for eating

Cookie Monster

Going to the Dentist

We went climbing last weekend with John and Corianne.

A dentist named all the climbs. There is everything from "Baby Teeth" to "Facial Fracture."

It was a fun evening.

Family Picture

Tyler took this one of John and me climbing at the same time.

Corianne is a great climber.

John had to clean the climb after the sun had set.

I am still getting used to climbing on real rock. I was afraid, but made it to the top!
