Updates!

I am not the best blogger. I go in and out of liking it. We'll see how the future goes. I'm not making any promises. :o) Here are a few posts to show what we've been up to since Lena was born. I just realize that I didn't put them in chronological order. Oh well!

First, we had Lena blessed on Oct. 11, the same day Asher turned 2. We decided to have one big celebration for both events.

Not the best picture, but it adequately shows how big Lena is getting. Born at 7 lbs. 4 oz. and 19 1/2 in., she was average size. By her two month check-up she was 11 lbs. 7 oz. and 24 in. long. She grew 4 1/2 inches in 2 months!! Her cheeks are the best!

My beautiful mother with my beautiful daughter. I love this picture!

Asher's birthday cake! Monkeys on the bed! And some fell off. :o)

Asher wasn't quite sure what was going on when we all broke out into "Happy Birthday!"

But he soon picked up on what was going on! :o)

It was a wonderful day!!

Baby Shower

I did a cake for my best friend, Brandi's baby shower, about 3 weeks after having Lena. That was a task! But here are a couple pictures of that cake. They are a cowboyish family, so it was fun to play with that!

If you can't read the piping, it says "Lil' Cowboy Sawyer" Cute name, huh?

Kids

First smile caught on camera. But certainly not the last. Lena is the most smiley, happy baby I have ever seen! What a sweetheart!

And here are some of my favorite pictures from a shoot with my aunt, Jenn, when Lena was about 2 weeks old.

I just want to gobble them up! Lena has starting sleeping 7-8 hours a night. Yay! Her top canines have already started moving down. Eek! Hopefully they won't come completely through for a while. She is such a precious, special girl! And I just can't get enough of her! Asher has definitely reached the age of 2. Goodness! But he is sure cracking us up with what he saying and doing. I'll save that for another post though.

Midway

The weekend of Fall Break, my family went up to a time share my parents have. It was a weekend of games, movies, laughter, food, and fun! I also went golfing for the first time. Sadly, we don't have any pictures of that. But we have a bunch of others ...

Some beautiful scenery shot by my sister, Kayla.

Just hanging out.

And utter relaxation!
