Lauren is Five Months Old!

Can you believe it...she is FIVE MONTHS OLD!! Lauren is changing and becoming stronger every day. She is grasping for objects and can hold her bottle by herself. She loves playing with her feet. At times you may catch her sucking on her toes! Of course...she is communicating in her own unique screeching way...gotta love her!

Robbie's Birthday and Mother's Day

We were very busy last weekend. On Saturday, we had a cookout at our house to celebrate some birthdays with some family and friends. Robbie's brother Morgan and his Dad had a birthday on the sixth and Robbie's was Sunday. Yep...it was my first Mother's Day as a new mommy AND it was Robbie's birthday!!

The Birthday Boys!

On Sunday, we started the day off by opening presents. I got a palm tree for the yard from Robbie and Lauren bought me an iPod. After presents we got ready and went to church. Then we went out to lunch with Robbie's parents and brother. After lunch, we ventured to Dick's Sporting Goods and Wal-Mart for a little shopping. For dinner, we went to Robbie's parents for a steak dinner. It was very yummy! Needless to say it was a wonderful weekend! We enjoyed every minute of it!!

Me and my baby girl...I love you Lauren!

Relay for Life

The Relay for Life of Onslow County was April 24th and 25th. It is a great fundraising event to help the fight against cancer. I was at the event with some of my co-workers from my school. I got a phone call from my brother Adam stating that he was there too with his business Best Buy. I went to the Best Buy tent to see him but they said he was walking around the track dressed up as a "Womanless Beauty!" I was like okay what is he wearing. His co-worker said, "A little bit of everything." I said, "Okay...he shouldn't be hard to find since he is 6'3." I started walking back to my tent when I saw this crowd of people dancing around this tall 6'3 person...yep it was Adam!! I couldn't believe my eyes...he was so hysterical! Anyways, they had a competition to see which beauty could walk around the track one time and raise the most money...he came in second by raising $78.00..yahoo!!!

Maryland Trip

Lauren made her first Maryland trip on April 17. We drove up with Grandma Karen and Uncle Morgan. Lauren was absolutely wonderful in the car!!! Robbie went up a couple days earlier with his dad. He wanted to get some fishing in!! Lauren's great-grandmother Mum Mum was getting married. The weather was beautiful and the ceremony was too. Lauren enjoyed meeting all of her Maryland family!
