Colbie's One Year Photo Shoot

Thank you Julie Muchlinski (Lil Fish Photography) for these amazing photos and slide show.  Here are a few of my favorites from our photo shoot that was taken at a park in Bellevue just after Colbie's first birthday.

Best Mothers Day Ever

Okay so I've only had two Mothers Days and last year we didn't even leave the house (Colbie was a few weeks old and we were sleep deprived), but this really was a perfect Mothers Day for me.  A huge thanks to my fabulous husband for making my day so relaxing and special.  We had delicious coffee and crepes, went for a walk around Greenlake, did a little shopping, and had Happy Hour outside on the water at Eastlake Bar and Grill.  All my favorites things, but the very best part of my Mothers Day was that I really got to enjoy the day because Jon took on the task of taking care of Colbie the whole day.  I did not take any pics, but here is a few pics of Colbie enjoying the amazing weather we have had lately.
But first a little dedication to my amazing Mom who I did not get to spend Mothers Day with this year.  I love you tons Mom and couldn't ask for a more loving, caring, dedicated, Mom and Grandma.  We are so lucky to have you in our lives and miss you very much!

Our lawn mower is broken so the grass is a little long

Sprinkler fun, thanks Murray family

She was a little timid at first, but then loved it!

Sunshine fun

Colbie and I have really enjoyed spending our days outside (especially since she has had a cold for three weeks and Jon started a new job at Amazon and is working longer hours).  The weather has been awesome this week so we were able to take a trip to the zoo with Beth and Charlotte, take lots of bike rides, play in our yard and go to many different parks.  Colbie is loving being able to walk around outside all on her own.

At the zoo with Charlotte

This monkey was so cute and we got to see it so close.  Colie loved it, she was waving at him and giving him kisses.

Just Colbie's size=)

She is starting to enjoy climbing on the playground equipment (with help of course)

Heading for the swings

She is pretty stable now, even on the wood chips

Bike ride around the neighborhood......a daily event lately

Sorry out of order....more zoo pics.  Thanks Beth for taking the photos (I did not bring my camera)
