Mother's Day!

So Mother's day this year was amazing! My amazing hubby asked me what I wanted and I wanted a date night with him. So we got a babysitter and he took me to my favorite place, Red Robin, for dinner and then we went to a movie. Date Night, it was hilarious! I missed my baby girl but it was so nice to have a nice fun time with my hubby! Lately our schedule's have been so opposite with me in school and him working and everything so it was a much needed date. Saturday we were all over the place too but once we got home for the night and girly was in bed we turned our front room into a theater room and moved our couch so we could watch another movie on our Apple TV. Another fun time cuddling with my man! Sunday I got biscuits and gravy for breakfast before church and during church girly was actually good and we didn't have to take her out at all. For dinner we went to Jordan's parents house, as we do every Sunday, and had a really good dinner and played outside with girly. Jordan's parents gave me a box of See's candies and I loved it! I love being a mom so much, its the best job I have ever had! I love both my girls and I can't wait to have more kids to add to our family!

Shanté is 1

So I can't believe that my baby girl is now 1! This past year has gone by so fast. Shanté is now walking everywhere and is learning so much. Her first official word was daddy and now she says hi! She can also say Ady, there is a picture of Adysen hanging in her room and when she gets up in the morning or from naps she looks as the picture and waves and says "Hi Ady!" Every time I try to get her to say mommy she shakes her head no! I'm sure one day she will say it and then I'm sure she won't stop saying it! LOL! She loves to make a noise like a tiger as well as she can find her ear and mommy's nose. She is so tall that we had to get her a whole new wardrobe for the summer cause everything was too small. I know shocker right, that we could have a tall baby! I have loved every minute of this past year with girly, as I like to call her. She is the best baby ever and we have had so much fun together playing and learning. I do miss not having a little baby to cuddle with me so Jordan and I are ready to add to our family. We will let you know when that will be. We love Shanté so much and couldn't imagine life without her! She keeps us on our toes and is always entertaining! She wanted me to thank everyone for all the birthday wishes!!

Smile!

Her cute Birthday dress! Love that face!

She gets excited when she sees something new and makes this face!

Walking like a big girl outside!

She loves to swing with her Uncle Trevon!

My friend Julie makes the best cakes ever! I love the giraffe!!

Shanté loves it too!

Uncle Keaton got her these glasses! She actually didn't take them off for awhile!

This summer for the Jone's family reunion we are going camping so we thought we would get her her own chair, she loves that she can get out of it by herself! She also loves to play with our laptop so we got her her own too! Now she can bang on it all she wants!

Papa and Nana got her this very cute giraffe bike!

Opening presents! Loves the laptop!

She loves to open and close it!

She also got lots of cute outfits for the summer!

We got Shanté her own cake to eat and she didn't really like it. She liked it when I fed it to her but she didn't like it all over her hands!

She kept reaching for me but I couldn't hug her cause she was covered in cake!

She did not like it!

After eating cake we got her all cleaned up to go outside and play!

She loved walking around out there!

She found a jump rope to play with!

Having fun playing outside!!

Funny Faces!

So I was trying to get a good picture of Jordan and I on his birthday but every time I looked at the picture after taking it this is what I found! Its his own fault that I'm posting them for everyone to see! Sorry babe! I loves you!

He finally took a good one!!

Jordan's Birfday!

So for Jordan's birthday we decided to take a little trip to Wendover. Shanté stayed with Nana and Papa so we could go! We stayed Thursday night and then came back Friday to have dinner with Jordan's family and to open presents. It was a lot of fun to have a nice trip just the two of us. We did miss girly a lot though.

In car on our way out of town!

The gross wallpaper in our hotel room!

Our room with the hot tub right by the bed! Lol!

It was even big enough to fit Jordan in it! Hehe!

Easter!

I loves Easter!! I love the traditions that Jordan and I are starting together! We went to Jordan's house Sunday morning because the Easter bunny came and left Shanté all kinds of eggs all over the house. He also left her a Easter basket. She was so fun to watch crawl around and find eggs. Because she doesn't eat candy yet, in her basket and eggs she had baby cereal treats and juice and some fun toys. She also got the cutest Easter dress but I don't have pictures of her in it yet. I got a Easter dress and Jordan got a Easter tie. We will be getting family pics in a couple weeks so you will see us in our Easter stuff then. Later that night we went to the Jone's egg hunt. Shanté had fun there too playing with cousins and finding eggs. All in all it was a fabulous day, especially since it was conference as well and I loved all the talks.

She loved her Easter book!

Shanté Walking!

So Shanté has started to walk! She is getting so good at it! My baby girl is so big!!

She thought it was so funny! She kept laughing!

Loves the Zoo!!

It was so much fun going to the zoo! It was so fun to see Shanté get excited when she saw one of the animals! She would try to reach out and touch them! It was so fun having Jordan's family go with us too! I love that Shanté is getting older and we can do fun activities with her! There are a lot of pictures in this post and they aren't in order!

Smile!

Oh don't worry he will get the booger!

Riding the train!

So much fun!

How cute!!

I just can't get enough of them! I could have stayed there all day!!

Nice face papa!!!

She is so big!

Getting ready to go into the zoo!

She loved the carousel!

Shanté loves the giraffe, giving it kisses!!

I loves the giraffe!

Riding the carousel! Of course we rode the Giraffe!

Smile!!

Loves My Family!

After the zoo I went to dinner with my Blackham girl cousins and Aunts! Grandma Blackham was there too. We went to eat dinner at PF Changs and it was so much fun. I love it when we can all get together and catch up! I was able to take Shanté with me and she was so fun and she loved to play with Angie. I love that I'm surrounded by so much family and that we can get together more often. I wish my sisters could have been there, it was so much fun!
