I was so excited that LMFAO was in town. My 2 sisters and my friend Jenny a/k/a Lemonhead and I went and had a blast.

My awesome Hubby contacted the record label dude and we got to meet them and then got floor VIP tickets.

It was such a fun night!!!

Since my Mom watched Hailey for me so I could take my sisters to the concert, I ended up spending the night there. I got to bed late, but slept in until noon. (Thanks Ma for watching the Babe for me.) I can't even remember the last time I slept that late. It was much needed. It was a gross day out so we did a bit of shopping, but other than that it was low key.

We had our cousin, Veronika's, 16th family birthday party to attend. It's always fun to see them, catch up and eat some amazing food.

Happy Birthday Veronika!

Later that night we had a wedding reception to attend. After we dropped Hailey off at my parents again for an overnight, we headed out to Myth Nightclub where the reception was being held. We had some great food and hung out with some awesome friends.

Ben & Jen got married in Mexico at the beginning of May and then had a reception for family and friends later.

Congrats Ben & Jen! We wish you a lifetime of happiness.

It was Memorial Day Monday and I had 2 photo-shoots in the morning and then we had plans to go to the Como Zoo in the afternoon. The parking was horrible and it was so hot out. We only stayed for a bit, but had fun anyways. I didn't take many pictures, because to be honest Hailey could have cared less if we were there or not. Here is one though on our way into the park.

And of course one of me and my lovey at the zoo, too!

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day!

Friday evening was spent with Hailey hanging out and doing a little cleaning. It was a very chill night.

Saturday, May 12, 2012

It was a super nice day. My Mom and sisters came over so I could go photograph a small wedding in the afternoon. I finally installed Hailey's new car-seat later in the day. Wayne didn't have his gig that night, so we actually got to hang out as a family. It was great!

Sunday, May 13, 2012

We had plans to have brunch with our Mom's and siblings at noon. We went to The Park Tavern. They have a great brunch and then you get an hour of free bowling with it. We ended up bowling 2 games after we ate.

My little family.



 My MIL, Me, Hailey & my Mom.

Bowling fun.



Hailey helps Mama.



Siblings



All pooped out.



After bowling with the fam, we ordered take-out from Big Bowl for dinner and had a quiet night at home.

It was a most perfect First Mother's Day!!! I'm so excited to celebrate many more to come!

Hope yours was great, too!

Hailey's Baptism

Hailey's Baptism

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

Hailey was baptized on Sunday, April 22, 2012. She was surrounded by all her family and both her Godfather, Uncle Andy, and Godmother, Aunt Amie.

Pastor Susan did the baptizing.

After the actual baptism, Pastor Paul swooped Hailey into his arms and carried her around the sanctuary to meet the congregation. She smiled and waived at everyone. A big hit with the crowd as always.

 Of course she was all smiles. She never ceases to amaze me.

After the church ceremony we took a few pictures with sponsors, Pastor Paul and family.

Great Green Grandma flew in from Arizona for the week;

and The Horton Family came to celebrate, too!

Great Grandma Kleene and Great Aunt Laurie drove up for the day from Clara City.

I love our church.

After pictures we headed to our house, had lunch and cake.

Wayne helped Hailey open her gifts.

It was very memorable day and I can't wait to tell Hailey all about it when she gets old enough to understand what it all means and why all her family was there to celebrate her that day. Thank you to everyone who came to help us celebrate!

Another one with Great Grandma Kleene.

You are getting to be such a big girl and I love you so much!

God Bless you, Hailey Jo!

My (29th) Birthday! {2012}

My (29th) Birthday! {2012}

My birthday was Monday, April 9th.

I turned 29.

I don't know how to feel about it.

Quite frankly with Hailey growing up and now walking (yes, she is walking and has been fully walking for about a week+), I really want time to slow down or stop for a bit.

I think I just have so many emotions going on lately, I just don't know what to feel. I've never felt bad about a birthday or about getting older, but this year was definitely bitter-sweet.

It was Easter weekend, so we spent that with our families and then Wayne and I celebrated just the two of us the next Saturday the 14th at Crave. Overall it was a great birthday. I did get a lot of really great gifts.

 Row 1: Flowers from the Hubs // Coach sandals from Green Grandma

Row 2: Coach purse from my Boss, along with some $ // Bday cake Oreos from the Hubs

Row 3:  Apple iPad w/ pink case & Apple wireless keyboard from the Hubs

I also got $ from my parents and since my MIL babysits my Daughter for us just about everyday, I told her it wasn't necessary to get me a gift on top of all she does for us with Hailey every week.

Overall it was a great birthday, aside from the mixed emotions. I am very blessed and loved in many ways and have such great people in my life.
