Anya's Wedding

My little sister Anya (she's only 16 months younger) got married on May 24th to Adam. She looked gorgeous in her dress and we had fun going to Colorado and seeing my family.

And here we get a good view of my brother-in-law's artistic leanings as a backdrop to my beautiful sister's dress and my two youngest sisters.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY!!!!

Brecken celebrated his 1st birthday on May 1st. His golden birthday was his first birthday, crazy. He is one year old now, which seems amazing. It's gone by so fast, but at the same time I can hardly remember a time without him in my life. What an amazing baby he is.

He had party cake, chocolate cake and mint ice cream. Shockingly, he likes chocolate!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

On Saturday, I celebrated my 27th birthday! Oh my gosh, I can't believe it. I actually feel kind of old! Tim, of course, had to work, as he is in the final lap of tax season, so...we went out to dinner and on Sunday night we had a few friends over for cake & ice cream. It was really fun. I just can't believe I'm 27.

P.S. A word to the wise: do not marry a tax attorney if your birthday is April 12. It's not the best timing. Other than that, they make great husbands!

Trip to Orangevale

In March, I went to visit one of my favorite people, Elizabeth (and of course, Tommy & Jason). We had a great time. Jason did not really know what to think of a wild man like Brecken. Brecken sort of terrorized Jason by taking his toys and talking loudly at inopportune times. But I'm sure in a couple years, Jason will appreciate my party boy, right?

Baby & Me Swim Lessons

I decided to take a Baby & Me Swimming Lessons class with Brecken. It's about time to start working on his water skills if he's going to be a water polo player like his dad. He loved the water! And I had a great time, too.

Amy's Visit

My sister Amy came to spend her spring break with us in San Luis. We had a great time because she is such an adorable sweetie. She was very patient about scheduling her sight-seeing around Brecken's naps. We loved having her and I am trying to convince her to come back.

Our New "House"

So, we've finally spread our wings and left the nest...again. We moved into our own little apartment. It's definitely a step down from our beautiful house in Utah, but it works. And besides, brown shag carpet and popcorn ceilings aren't that bad.

It's a humbling experience. :)
