Mariachi Music

And so it begins! Last night we went over to Juan's for a birthday party. He had mariachis come sing "Las Mananitas" to Iris' mom. It was Amelia's first time up close and personal with mariachis I hope Amelia enjoys them as much as I do.....the music is lively and a pleasure to hear just makes you want to move. Here she is dancing with Juan. I listened to a lot of mariachi music while pregnant....so we'll see. She had a late night.....didn't go to bed until 11pm! So maybe she did enjoy them?

Baby Crockett!

Amelia started crawling on Saturday! She's not "mastered" the skill yet but she's getting there! Here's her Davy Crockett picture.

I Love Hats!

So I really like hats if I could wear them on a daily basis I WOULD...but I don't ..... just in the winter I wear them at any opportunity that I get. I think they look so cute on Amelia. I especially like her sun hats. I got her the cowgirl hat at Buckskin Joe's so when she goes to see the mini horses she'll have the hat to wear. We did the old timey photo and they put a bonnet on her. It was cute except it kept covering her face for the photo.

Royal Gorge Bridge

We decided to take a short trip to Colorado. We had a great time....it was a great week off for me, much needed time! Amelia had many "firsts" this week. She now rolls around and sits up after rolling, I learned the hard way that she has become VERY mobile. She waved "bye" for the very first time to the lady at Buckskin Joe's, it was her first time to a volcano, first time out of the state of Texas and her first time on a train. Here are some pictures from our trip.

McGehee/Weiland Wedding

Today we went to David and Bonnie's wedding. It was sooo hot but the place was SOO PRETTY! We had a mishap on our walk from the car to the ceremony/reception area. As we were walking Matt was carrying Amelia and goes "we should have checked Amelia's diaper before leaving the car" I said "let's go sit down and then I'll take her to the bathroom." I was just in hurry to go sit down. Maybe 1 minute later Matt said "what is this?" as he showed me his hand.....UGH! Amelia had a spill out of her diaper!! She dirtied her bloomer and Matt's yellow shirt. Poor Matt. We were able to clean everything/everyone up pretty quickly.

Overall the wedding was fun and it was so beautiful out there. Coincidentally, David's parents were the longest married couple in the crowd (44 years) and him and Bonnie the least, so they were all asked to dance. The photographer took pictures of Madison and Amelia, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the pictures turn out! Oh and they had a cartoonist so we had a photo done, will post once I scan it!

Feather Head!

Just a random picture of Amelia with a handmade headband from El Salvador.

Three Years, 12 days and going......

Matt and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary on May 12th. He had a great idea of going to the zoo. So I took the day off and we spent the whole day at the zoo! It was soooo great!!! We had a great time! We've been doing a lot of family stuff on the weekends, been great. We are even planning a mini vacation! YAY! Stay tuned for the vacation pics!
