WARNING: Tear-Jerker Ahead!!!

Well, this is it...Elizabeth's first easter. She went to church with mom and dad this morning. Church was packed and she went to the nursery in the beginning. I went and got her for

Communion. She was very antsy when we got back and fell asleep on the way home. I am currently cooking a ham (without burning!) Be right back....I'm back..had to baste the ham....Smells good! We just went outside and took some pictures....Easter pictures of Elizabeth. We got some REALLY cute ones of me and her (which we don't have a lot of b/c I'm usually taking them!) The sun was a little off so the lighting is dark. I'm gonna see what I can do to fix them. Ignore the long grass. Have to mow the lawn this weekend. I'm including a lot of pictures today. There is one of her in a cute outfit on her pink horse. And one of her eating her feet while Sam laughes. Also one of Sam stuck in her Learning Home. He rang the doorbell and when Elizabeth opened the door, he crawled through. Then he couldn't get out! HAahaha! Finally, there is one of my latest creation...a Bunny Cake. This one impressed Sam and came out beautiful! Soo......Happy Easter to all! We hope to see you soon! Oh! Keep an eye out for Elizabeth's two bottom teeth in the pictures..you can just barely see them!

Tooth or Teeth

Whoo hoo! Elizabeth has TWO teeth coming in. I need to update her baby book. They broke through last Tuesday. The last two nights have been a little rough in the beginning. I think because of that. Elizabeth is also getting more clingy here lately. Last week I also went to Tot Trade (consignment sale where I get her clothes). I sold my bedding and bouncer seat and some clothes. I bought some clothes (cute ones too!) and a few toys for Elizabeth. I got her one of those 60 dollar Learning Homes for only 12. She also has a new PINK rocking horse. She is so cute on it! She is just figuring out how to rock on it. I'll post some pictures and all later on....Got to go get ready for school.

The Pictures

My Cake

Hello! Not too much going on here. Sam and I are doing good. Elizabeth is wonderful. Yesterday she was standing up and let go of the coffee table. She managed to stay up for a few seconds before she fell. Sam was excited. :) Unfortunantly, I was washing dishes and missed it. I also heard Elizabeth say a definant MaMa. I got pretty excited about that one. ;) We are also getting a dining room table. It belonged to my Great Grandmother who passed away last May. Also, yesterday I baked a cake. Not burned it, baked it. You would think I have a bad track record or something! I mean come'n I only burne one...or two...or maybe three.....My mom asked if she needed to call the fire department so they would have prior notice. Shana told me not to burn it. Sam asked me to bake two "just in case." I was determine to back a bunny cake but had some trouble with the ears. I'm gonna go get a bunny shaped cake (or cupcake) pan before easter so I can try again. Instead, I decorated my cake with Peeps. I made a Peep cake. I've included a picture of the sugar-filled delight so that everyone may drool over it. I know it isn't perfect, but hey, at least I didn't burn it! I'm also including pictures of Elizabeth at the park and of her snuggled into Daddy's cheast, sleeping. She's soooo cute!

Tub Time...

It's hard to believe but Elizabeth is 9 mos old today. She had her check up and is doing good. She is 19 lbs 13 oz, 27 1/2 inches long. Everything looks great. :) She is happy and cheerful. She definantly has her daddy's smile. She still hasn't said mama but says dada all the time. She also squeals. It's cute. She went out to eat with us Saturday and behaved wonderfully! On the weekend after Valentines we went out to eat with her and people stopped by the table to tell us how well behaved she was. She likes sitting up to the table with us. We have also been taking family walks at the local ball field. Just got back from one. I took her by myself yesterday. I'm trying to lose weight (lost 5 lbs already). She enjoys the walks and will just sit there and watch everyone. She also loves bath time. I'm including some pictures of her in her bubble bath and standing at the TV. She was pointing to the kitty cat on baby einstein. Too cute!! Sorry the picture is sideways...didn't have time to fix it....

UPDATE- Wednesday - It is official..I will be teaching High school next year at White Knoll High. I will be a BEST Program teacher which is a program for students who are in a work-based occupational diploma program. :) Yea!!!! I'm excited!!
