Great Grandma's 90th

This last weekend we got to play dress up to celebrate Casey's Paternal Grandmother's 90th birthday. Grandma Phyllis is one of my favorite ladies to be around and we spent two days celebrating her wonderfulness.

Friday night we got all dolled up to go out to dinner. Marigold lasted the whole 3+ hours with just a wee bit of protest at the end. It was an hour and a half past her bedtime by the time we left. Ooops.

Saturday we headed to Great Grandma and Grandpa's house for a party with the whole Schoolcraft clan. Thank you to Cat for making this adorable outfit!!!

Great Grandma with her four boys.

Auntie Jodie and Zak came on Friday night and had a sleep over with us. Always fun... always.

Oh Marigold. This could have been a real keeper.

Our lil family!

That's better.

Cousin Reveille is almost a year old. Both girls wore flowery dresses and couldn't have been cuter!

Put this girl down and she'll draw a crowd.

But she's always good for a show.

Happy Birthday Great Grandma Phyllis! We love you so much!!

Big Girl

I'm a big girl now. I can sit in the walker Grammy got for me while Momma does the dishes.

I sing with Momma too...

I love my toys and make everything better just by being me.

My toes touch the ground now. I'm sure Momma will get to sweeping up those pine needles soon.

I can also sit in my bumbo so Momma can take a shower.

Oh my god rattles are awesome. Have you guys seen these? They are so cool.

I'm a big girl....

Babies in vests....

Anniversary

We found each other young. Really young.

Me pretending to eat meat is still funny.

Our hair has gone through many phases together.

Many birthdays and reasons to celebrate.

Very few vacations but the ones we've had we still talk about.

We both love blue and grey.

These two crazy kids got hitched after a 8 1/2 year courtship.

We were so happy with how we did it and who we shared it with.

We will always love baseball... especially together.

Flathead lake was the start of something we couldn't imagine.

My 30th birthday. I found out I was 5-6 weeks pregnant. I love birthdays... and babies.

The Easter before Marigolds arrival. We had no idea but pretended to be ready.

Consider us rocked.

You have given me so much laughter, learning, joy, patience and love. This year we gave each other something that was bigger than ourselves. Bigger than us individually or together. A new and lasting bond that will grow and teach us about ourselves for the rest of our life. I'm so glad to share all of this with you.

We love you so much. Happy 3rd Wedding Anniversary Casey (Dada)!

Faces

So many beautiful, funny, sweet and silly faces. I never get sick of a single one.

This next one might be my favorite. She's clearly just barely putting up with me.

Grandma and Grandpa Rowe

I guess I shouldn't be surprised but Marigold LOVES music! Grandma and Grandpa Rowe came over recently and played and sang with her. She would lean in and try to get as close to the guitar as possible. She actually started sucking on my Dad's hand while he was playing. Her way of trying to be involved.

Here's to much more music!

Santa Baby!
