Mommy's First Mother's Day and Julia's First Twins Game!

I had a wonderful first Mother's Day yesterday. Jeff and Julia spoiled me with a new cover for my phone and a dozen beautiful roses. We were also given tickets to the Twins game against Toronto for Sunday's game. We couldn't refuse the amazing seats. We sat 3 rows behind the visitor's dugout. It was a beautiful afternoon. Julia modeled her hat she got from Grandma and Grandpa Rudebusch when they were in Florida. We kept the sun off the little girl as much as we could and then I went in to the lounge for the middle of the game to get in the air conditioning for awhile. She was very alert for the last few inning and enjoyed standing on Daddy's lap while watching the players on the field and all of the other surroundings!

My day was perfect as I got to spend it with my sweet little girl and the best husband ever!
The only thing that could have made it better would have been to see our moms, but at least we were able to wish them a Happy Mother's Day!








You can see she is staring at the field, it was fun to see how interested she was in what was going on!
Not only did we have a great view of the game, but also of the downtown skyline! Beautiful!
My first Mother's Day!  I love being a Mommy.  It is the best job in the world!
Jeff carried her in the carrier.  She liked taking in the city on the way to the game, but fell asleep against Daddy on the way back to the car.  We put the sleeping baby in the car seat and she slept almost the entire ride home, too.

Happy Birthday Daddy plus Visitors from WA

Daddy turned 30 minus 1 (29) on Thursday!  We helped him celebrate by making a reallly yummy "Oreo" cake, going out to eat and opening gifts!  We love you and Happy Birthday!

Steph, Logan and Elaine spent the afternoon with us on Friday!  It was so good to see them. 

Logan and Julia were getting to know each other.  It seems Julia was more interested in her feet!
Logan liked Julia's flower and he also thought Julia's feet were pretty neat!
Sitting like a big girl!
Steph, me and our babies!

Getting to know Gus!

Before Julia went to bed last night she wanted some cuddle time with Gus.  She has started to become very interested in what he is doing and even tries to touch him.


Up until this point we have not really let Gus get close to Julia, but now that she is showing some interest we decided they could get to know each other a little more!  Gus came right over and cuddled with her.

"Wow, that dog is amazing!  : )  Give me some time to process all of this new information!"

A little of this and a little of that!

I have really started to pay attention to Gus and what he is doing. I even will giggle at him when he starts barking!
 First piggy back ride.... it must have been a rough ride as I am missing a sock!
 These were some pics to show how big I am compared to the teddy bear (I'm a little over 3 months old in these pics)
 I really like to chew and suck on my fingers now. They sure are tasty!
 Can you believe I can hold my head up like this, mom?
 Sometimes it gets to heavy, though!
I got really tired reading my book from Uncle Paul and Auntie Brieann... so I had to take a little nap!

Julia's Baptism

Julia Mary's Baptism
April 15, 2012
Christ the King Lutheran Church

“Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:14
Our beautiful little girl before the church service.

She slept through the entire service (which made it nice for Mommy and Daddy!).
She was a little startled when Pastor Jon poured the water on her head!
Ladies in our church make these really nice banners for baptisms (we hung it in her room).

Garrett and Priscilla are Julia's sponsors.
My God-mother Laurie made my Baptismal dress which Julia also wore... pretty special.

Thanks Steve for taking pics of Julia's special day!


Barb made and decorated the kransekake... it was beautiful and yummy!

Daddy can always get this little girl to smile! : )
Thanks for the help in the kitchen!



 The blanket Julia used for her Baptism was made by Grandma Roxann... it is very soft and cuddly!


Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us!
