Haley Turns One!!

Our sweet baby girl turned one! What an amazing year with our newest little love and how it has flown by.

Haley darling, we are so blessed to have your sweet face, your laughter, and your fun-loving personality in our lives. Thank you for a wonderful first year. 

At one year, Haley's smile lights up her whole face. She says "Ma-ma" and "Ba-bye". She waves. She walks her cute toddling monkey walk. She continues to be toothless. She reaches for me whenever she sees me. And she already loves presents.

At her one year check-up she weighed in at 17#2oz (8%ile) and 29 1/4 inches (32%ile). We are so thankful for our happy, healthy little girl.

Haley celebrated her special day with some wonderful friends...

 ...with lots of birthday bouncing...

... and of course with cake!

Happy Birthday Sweet Baby Girl!!!

Easter

Easter came with special visitors this year: the Easter Bunny (of course!) and my cousin Eva with her husband Matthias from Germany. And even better my mom and my sister joined us as well. What a treat for all of us! 

Easter also came with an amazing brunch. It wouldn't be Easter without a great brunch in the Weikard family. And of course good food always seems to appear when my mother is around.

It was a rainy soggy Easter day but it sure didn't stop my older munchkin from hunting his Easter eggs and my little one from trying to keep up with him.

Haley trying out her new dress from Oma and Aunt Jenni. Daddy was not home to disapprove of the sweet girlyness. Mommy thought she was a doll.

And the Easter bunny is always sooo good to us...

...even as we get older.

Keystone

In March we left slowly warming up Nashville for snowy Colorado and headed to Keystone. We put Lucas on skis for the first time and he loved it! I think we have a new ski enthusiast on our hands. I give him 2 years to be flying down the slopes faster than his mommy.

The excitement started with the flight out to Denver for the kids. Airports, suitcases, and planes are exciting afterall. Not to mention the BNA airport has an indoor playground.

First day headed out to the slopes.

Haley preferred enjoying the view from inside.

Our first stop for Lucas:

And in good Lucas style, there was barely a "bye mom, bye dad." Off he went... We did ski by the practice area a couple of times to see the progress on making "pizzas" and "french fries."

We managed to have some beautiful snow and beautiful skiing weather. And after a few (or several) runs, I finally got my ski legs back under me too. Can't blame a girl for sometimes being a bit timid when the hubby not so accidentally drags her down a black.  But I think i hung in there pretty well while keeping my ACL intact.

The boys all bundled:

Ski lift time called for photo-op with the father-in-law

 And skiing with the hubby

Faces!

 

Big ski smile!

And a quick shot from the way home... couldn't let the cold stop us from enjoying a little ice cream.
