Kate’s 1st Communion

Monday, April 27th, 2009

My niece Kate had her 1st Communion today.  Her Aunt Ronnie flew in from NY to be here and Uncle Bob & Patricia drove here from NE.  Grandma Jacobsen came from Iowa but Uncle Brandon was sick and unable to come with her.  Yesterday we tried to go to Griffin’s game, but it got rained out.  We went back to the Ambersons house for dinner.  Here’s Maya playing with the scary monkey and Katie.

Here’s Griffin & Dennis at Kate’s ceremony today.

Maya loves to feed her piggy “monies”.  There was a little incident during the last feeding.  Poor piggy.  M’s not allowed to walk with glass piggy’s filled with money anymore.  Lesson learned.

Here’s a wooden piggy from Grandpa Ralph & Nana Karen that was up in Maya’s room.  Its replacing the glass piggy in the kitchen.

There was a poop incident with Maya’s favorite brown baby doll so we headed to toys r us for a replacement.  Maya fell in love with another baby and had to rip it out of the package immediately.  Once we got home I decided I’d work a little harder to clean baby #1 up since we couldn’t find an exact replacement and after a bit of scrubbing she’s good as new.  So now Maya is enjoying the both of them.

Rocking the babies.

It was daddy’s night to mow on Monday and Maya stood at the window and yelled until I took her out to “help”.  Instead we played with the new bubbles from the Amberson’s and the new sidewalk chalk (Maya prefers garage chalk) while we watched daddy hard at work.

Then we followed daddy over to feed the horses the grass clippings.

Maya can now say quite a few words.  Here are a few that come to mind that I hear over and over each day:  horsey, bubble, baby, up, help, out, bye bye, Brie, Gramma, mommy, daddy, hi, cheese, juice, milk and many more.  Its so much fun watching her learn and grow every day.

Easter 2009!

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

We had a wonderful Easter.  Uncle Lee spent Saturday night with us so he was here to help Maya find Easter eggs and open her gifts from the Easter Bunny.  Some of the eggs were filled with coins, Maya loves to fill up her piggy bank with monies.

All ready for church wearing the Easter dress and shoes from Grandma Rosie!

The Amberson’s gave Maya a bubble machine for Easter and the kids had fun playing with that in the garage (it was freezing and rainy outside).

Happy Birthday Tamara!
