Baylee's first birthday

Baylee turned 1 yesterday! can I tell you how stressful/wonderful/emotional day it was!? we had a bbq swim party at my parents house and it was themed pink Lemonade. We had lemon cake balls, lemon bars, pink lemonade cupcakes, pink lemonade and of course all the food that goes along with a bbq. We had perfect weather and a good time. marcus rented a helium tank... isn't he funny? He comes home with a helium tank and 150 balloons!! he ahd fun blowin them up and set up the back yard while my parents and I ran errands and baked! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by and I'm really excited for the next year. We love our little Baylee and what a blessing she is to our lives, and what a little sweetheart she is... with a little bit of drama queen.

Indiana

We made it there and back and we had a great time! Indiana is a beautiful place and had perfect weather(for the most part). We aldo stayed at a great cabin on the lake. We went back there for the Hoffman family reunion and I had no clue what to expect but I had a lot of fun and I loved meeting them! It was nice to relax and just hang out, we went to the Amish flea market, and even had a tornado.. the bad part: our plane was delayed three hours coming home and we didnt get home till 1 a.m. I didn't even think about taking pictures until like the last 2 days so here are a few we got.

have you missed me?

Its been a bit, but whats new. Baylee turns one at the end of the month, and I can't believe it. She has been walking for a while now, but hasn't been very good at it till this last week she has been taking off. She is so funny and has everyone laughing! she Talks and talks and talks and is always yelling at the top of her lungs, and then laughing at herself. She has learned to do a somersault, oh man we love her! yes, we are back in utah. its partly my fault, but I am craving some stability! June will go by fast though because we are going to Indiana for a week, then its Baylees birthday, and then my brother nathan and his wife Jamie are coming out for a visit, and then hopefully we will be headed home. I can't wait becasue Im on this refurnishing furniture kick... and my parents are going crazy with all the furniture in their garage. Marcus has work here in Utah which is nice! He has been helping me with my furniture projects and has been very patient with me(Im a newbie, hes not) and my crazy ideas! (I also just think hes happy I have something other than baylee and shopping to occupy my time). So thats about it! Here's some pics of our little monster!

She has been notorious for getting into the cereal! she sat here for about 15 minutes digging into the cherios box..
she had to get every last one that dropped!
