A lovely day at the Arboretum

Jillian was not digging this at all..but the flowers are so pretty!

I had the bright idea that a "fun" trip to the arboretum would be the perfect thing to do on a Sunday...so we grabbed the kids, Auntie Jess, Baby Matt and Uncle Jeff (our photographer) and headed out. As you can see, Jillian was really the only cooperative one and it was kind of a bust from the photo standpoint. But we had fun..

Will..just being good.

Run away from the camera..quick!

Look over there!

Jillian 11 Months

Smile everyone!

It's not so bad Jillian..this is just what mommy does.

Everyone cry now!

Trouble....

Having some fun in the bathroom!
So many rolls, so little time.

Happy 1st Birthday Jillian!

The birthday girl!

She doesn't look like her daddy at all..huh?

Happy birthday Jillian! You have never seen someone so excited to have the day be all about her! She loved every minute of her party..the cake...the presents and lots of friends.


That is a big cake for a little girl..but she did her best!

I think that she actually sat in her high chair for 30 minutes and picked the little balls of icing off of the cake. She was in heaven.

So fun! And look at my first two teeth that I got just before my first birthday!

Family pic...

One of Jessica's friends made this adorable cake! She is awesome and it was delicious..and I do not even like cake that much.

So happy...she smiled and smiled and smiled.

The smash cake just for the birthday girl!

Yummy...yummy..yummy!

Pasta Night!

All of my kids love pasta night....and Jillian is no exception. Will and Jeanne are a little quicker to finish...so then they come back and entertain Jillian while she eats.
Laughing at batman!

I guess she likes it!

Easter

Jeanne was very excited about the easter egg hunt!
Jillian just really liked the eggs.

Will cleaned up at the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt!
The girls were not really that into mommy's attempted photo shoot.

Jillian was:)

So happy to have a couple eggs to play with.

That yellow egg was a really funny one!

We had kind of a strange Easter this year, in that all the kids had a stomach bug. Awesome...good times! This was about all we could muster as far as celebrating.

Jillian was the only one who was not sick!

Watch me stand!

The Easter Bunny came despite the germs!

We had fun dying Easter eggs too.

Will and Daddy on Easter.

Baseball Will

I'm ready coach!

On the Move!

Very Serious

I got it!

Will is playing baseball this season! He seems to really like it so far. He has had 2 games thus far. He is really enjoying himself and has a pretty good arm. He also is quite the dancer as it turns out. At several points during last night's game I was not sure if I was watching T-ball or an episode of So You Think You Can Dance! He also likes to throw out some finger guns after a good play...hilarious. Check this out:)

Dancing Jillian

Jillian loves music and is turning into quite the dancer. She also seems to share her dad's taste in music. This was on our trip to Sanibel Island, Florida. Dad and I had to work and Gigi came to hang with Miss Jillian. We had a great trip!

Pasta Night

Jillian loves pasta! She is 11 months old and moving around all over. She is pulling up and starting to walk holding on to things.
We needed a bath after this dinner!

Playing with my brother!

What is she up to????
