May

As in the month of...

Apparently we didn't do too many interesting things during April...well we did we just didn't take any pictures, so on to MAY!

I had my first official Mother's Day...I was expecting last year, but it's not the same. I LOVE my job. I never thought that being a mom could be SO wonderful. Definitely a gift from heaven...pure joy!


(do you like the drool on the front of her dress...hers not mine)

Someone in our neighborhood started a treat service...kind of like the Halloween Ghost that leaves a treat on your doorstep...


except this wasn't a ghost...

pretty impressive, huh? And one of the funniest things to open your door to!

Aliyah was 5 months in May. I posted pictures that my sister Annie and I had taken earlier but here are two more because Aliyah is so darn cute:




And this had to be documented...Aliyah had some good hair when she was born, and it never fell out. So she had the bald spot (like most babies get), but Aliyah had a comb-over and that comb-over would often get big ol' knots in it. Then to top it off look a little lower and you can see Aliyah's "rats tail." It's not a perfect one, but it is clearly there. (I'm just jealous because I always wanted a rats tail for the pure sake of humor--I almost got one cut after my mission, but my parents called the hairstylist and told her not to let me! I would have had it only for a week...Could you imagine!?)


Next up, summer...and we were busy!!!
