CHUBBS UPDATE

Oh wait, that's right, he's doing just fine...

And never misses the chance to sneak into bed while I brush my teeth. 

Maybe he thinks I won't notice him?

TIME WITH THE NEPHEW

Mackenzie's birthday weekend also allowed for some quality time with Kelly, Scott and Ryan (who is also getting bigger by the minute!) He is now fully mobile and starting to vocalize so many things, I'm just amazed at how fast they develop and grow.


Ryan's often on the move so it's hard to snap a picture of the cutie, but the girls had him alone for a bit one morning and I managed to capture him with Mom and Grandma:

(Don't mind our winter down jackets in the middle of April...ugh)

Isn't he such a cute little man?? This picture makes him look like he can't walk on his own, but TRUST ME, he is more than able to walk on his own; he practically runs everywhere! :) I miss him already; love that little guy!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY MISS MACKENZIE

My baby girl turned TWO! So cute, so smart and so big. I can't believe how fast time has flown, I feel like she was just a little peanut in my arms and now she's my big monkey.

Love her so much.

Kyle and Stephanie had a sweet little family brunch/birthday party for her. It was perfect and intimate. I got a big kick out of watching Mackenzie open all of her presents one at a time like a patient little lady; too funny! 


And for a change I didn't take ANY pictures at the party...so unlike me! And the only two I ended up with were these two from The Mom:

Me and the boy

Notice Mackenzie pulling Pete's armhairs...haha!

(but not a bad two to end up with!)

YEAH MON, IRIE!

At the beginning of April just as the Winter cold was getting harder and harder to handle, I had the wonderful opportunity to watch my friends (and old neighbors), Matt & Jenn, tie the knot in JAMAICA!! I've never been there before let alone a hotel like the one we stayed in, so I was quite impressed to say the least.


Riding through town from the airport to the resort definitely brought back some pretty vivid memories of the DR. Seeing the young students walking home from school, I desperately wanted to hang out with them, but we made it to the hotel and with a full schedule (of snorkeling, kayaking and scuba) and wonderful company to hang out with, we enjoyed being around friends and didn't make it into town. Maybe next time! :)


The wedding was beautiful, Weather was beautiful and we learned our new favorite word, Irie!

As soon as we stepped off the plane...I can get used to that!

 

 The Groom!

And the beautiful Bride!

Happy couple

 Yours Truly :)

So sad to leave!
