Memorial Day Weekend

What a fabulous long weekend! We spent lots of time with family and friends. Can't wait for summer to hurry up and arrive!

Friday was a beautiful day. I've felt bad for not helping Taylor out in the yard, so attempted to get some weeding done while little Miss took a nap

Yes, I was wearing THAT. haha! The boots help me feel safe from spiders and other bugs I hate!

Cutest baby on the block!

 Friday also marked Vienna's 13th week with us! I can't believe it.

 She loves her bumbo seat- We rarely have to put a towel in it anymore to keep her upright. She has excellent control of her head these days. It's amazing how much they change- and you don't even really notice until it dawns on you that you no longer need to hold their head, etc.

 This past week has been very challenging. Our sweet little Angel has been going through some trying times...we aren't sure what they are but she hasn't been the happy Vienna we're so accustomed to! Maybe she's growing and it's painful, maybe it's gas pains, maybe she's bored with us, maybe she's starting to teethe, maybe maybe maybe....all we know is our "tricks" aren't working as well. :-) But the past few days have been a bit better. She's slowing getting back to our happy little lady.



Saturday was a full day. Taylor's brother and girlfriend Tina stopped by to visit with us (yeah right, more like to see Vienna!). The weather was so nice, Taylor and Parker played frisbee while Tina and I enjoyed some rays. Vienna was a tad fussy, but eventually napped the visit away. Once PK and Tina left, we finished getting ready for the Chase family to come over for a BBQ!

Love these onsies given to us by cousin Kyle and Alyssa! So BBQ'y

Love us some Tony, Melissa and Miss Kylee!

Beautiful Miss Kylee! Tony and Melissa sure know how to make em'!

Proud Mommies!

We always have so much fun with the Chase family. We feel so blessed to have a couple to share this new experience of parenthood, with. Love love love them!

Sunday, I met a gal off of Craigslist to trade $30 for a jumperoo for Vienna! She seems to really love it!

She seems to love it! She's already jumping in it and playing with the toys!

Playin' in her jumperoo!

We've really wanted to get her an exersaucer. Friday we stopped into to Babies R Us to take a gander, but they are all SOOO expensive! Taylor had his heart set on one, but I stood my ground that we weren't paying $100+ for an item we could find used for much, much less. Saturday morning, I was looking on Craigslist for garage sales, and found this one. She was asking $40, I offered $25, she said she'd let it go for $30! I love it's not stationary, but instead a jumper too. V really seems to enjoy it. I'm sure she'll love it more once she's a bit bigger, but it works for now too.

Saturday afternoon Vienna and I went to visit Nana. We spent the afternoon with her, saw Auntie Kaila and Uncle Thomas- and just enjoyed a quiet day.

Today, Taylor met up with a friend he hadn't seen since before we pregnant with Vienna. They had a boys day while Vienna and I stayed home and relaxed. She slept SOOO much- I'm guessing growth spurt. I feel like I'm always saying that these days!

Then this evening we had an unexpected guest stop by: Great-Grams! She stopped by at the perfect time as Vienna had just woke up from her 2hr 45 min nap. (I was lucky enough to get her baby book updated while she napped)

Back to work tomorrow. Bummer!
