Meeting the Rhode family

Blakeley met her Uncle Dave, Aunt Kori and cousins Madison and Braeden...finally!  My brother, David, and his family traveled to Indiana from South Carolina for their vacation (ironic, right?!).  We went to visit while they were there.  Blakeley had fun playing with Braeden and his toys, and going to the park with all of her cousins, aunt and uncle!

Belly Button!!!

Blakeley found her belly button!

Happy Easter!

HAPPY EASTER FROM OUR LITTLE BUNNY!

Casey's parents came for the Easter weekend.  We went for a hike, did our taxes and then went to church and had a pancake brunch at our house.  

Saw a wild turkey on our hike at Highbanks Metro Park

There is an eagle's nest in one of the trees in the distance

The Easter Bunny came!

Meltdown, tantrum, crisis...

Whatever you call it, I couldn't resist capturing these moments...

So sad I won't let her play in the trash

Blurry, but you get the idea...she's angry with me

Still not letting her do what she wants

So upset

And content after all that

Hello Grass

Blakeley's first experience with grass...she wasn't crazy about it.  She kept trying to stand up to avoid touching it with her hands.  

Traveling to the Thomas'

We love spending time the Thomas family!  We traveled to Kalamazoo for a weekend full of fun with friends.  Marcella was so generous in sharing all of her toys with Blakeley.  John and Linnaea are wonderful hosts, we truly enjoy every second we spend with them.  

We went to Bell's Brewery for dinner and great beer!
