May 2012 & Kindergarten Graduation

On Memorial Day, we went to a family fun center and rode rides, played miniature golf, and rode go-carts.

Then, after running a few errands, we went to a big fun new park. It was Taygen's first time spending any significant amount of time outside. 

I wouldn't say she loved it.

We ended the month with Allary's Kindergarten graduation. Here are some photos from her graduation program. Yes, I cried a little.

When I picked her up after school that day, I brought her some flowers and candy.

She was thrilled!

Allary is so wonderful. Time seems to fly by us so quickly and with each new milestone in her life, I cry a little and try to hang on to the fragile bits and pieces of her little-ness. I also try my best to encourage her forward and cheer her on as she learns and grows and becomes this amazing little person. She really is amazing. Smart, sweet, compassionate, kind, brave, independent, bright, energetic, creative, clever, funny, and beautiful. 

May 2012

We started off May with our 8 year wedding anniversary on the 1st. Unfortunately, Jason was in Reno for work, but I did get these gorgeous roses.

Here are some photos from the rest of the month.

 My mom got Taygen this adorable little outfit before she was born. Ridiculously cute.

She was so teeny! Look at those teeny little frog legs. :)

My mom and dad came to visit the weekend of the 11th.

Mother's Day. Me and my sweet girls. So happy!

Big and fun milestone on May 14th...Taygen's first smile!!!

I was trying to get her attention to take her 7 week old pictures, and was thrilled to have 

camera in hand to catch the first little baby grin.

8 weeks old.

I took Taygen to the Dr. for her 8 weeks check-up on the 22nd. 

She was 8 lbs. 5 oz. (5th percentile)

21.5 inches long (25th percentile)

She was not so happy about the shots. Poor baby...

Yes, I love to dress them in matching outfits.

We took Allary to the swimming pool for something fun for just her.
