Mother's Day Salute!

To all The wonderful Moms out there THANK YOU! We wanted to do a salute to two of our favorites!

Happiest of Mothers Days to YOU! Thank you for all you have done, and all you have been in our lives. We are so blessed with wonderful mothers and now grandmothers. I hope this day treats you well, and is filled with joy. We want you to know you are loved, and very much appreciated! Being parents now, we see the joy you have had the chance to experience! Hats off to you two fabulous mothers!

Reunited and it feels so good!

Yes! We were Reunited with besties, besties-to-be and family! We spent our Easter weekend up in Washington with friends and family. It was a great time to see everyone, and we truly experienced all Washington had to offer weather wise as well! Beautiful sunny days, pouring rain and a few grey clouds in between. Malin went on her second plane ride and did great, but its definitely a new experience now that her curiosity is growing and growing by the minute! Thank you T, C, P and H for hosting us and a great dinner party as well! Also, so great to see college friends, and a new house!! We look forward to our next trip to the Northwest, and hope we can bring some California sunshine for the whole weekend!

March Madness

I suppose after several comments, inquiring if my blog had changed addresses or was deleted it became very clear that I am no expert blogger! I really have good "blogging intentions"... I promise.

Anyways, March was filled with madness: Family and Basketball! We had a great visit from Garrett's brother and sister, a lot of Basketball madness and a wonderful St. Patrick's Day party to celebrate our Irish roots!
We really enjoyed having Monica and Brannon in town. We had some good food, fun outings, and spent the majority of our time watching the best entertainment we have to offer: Malin!


Malin and her Buncle, and I think its fair to say she has never been this high up before!



Malin hanging out with Auntie Monica!


St. Pat's Day was right around the corner and was a great party! Everyone had on there best GREEN attire and looked smashing! I have to say though, as it seems to go for most parties the babies took the cute award for the evening!


Malin and Grady

Oh, how can we forget to mention the biggest hit of all:

BLAZE!

Erin Go Bragh!

I love you Cupid

Happy Valentines Day! I know so silly... but I LOVE Valentines Day! All the hearts and pink etc! So to all the romantics out there...

Happy Valentines Day!! Love, D, G and M

Milestone Monday

Ok, So apparently today is the day of many posts! I guess it makes up for the time lapse between the last few...

I have to write these down so they are documented and also so I can put them in Miss Malin's baby book. Ever since Malin hit 6 months she has been hitting new milestones a "mile" a minute! Lets begin with scooting around at 6 months, then all the sudden right around 7 months, boom! She is on the move crawling all over. Don't think for a second that her blinking, bright music filled toys could possibly be more exciting than outlets and wires! Also, as of yesterday Garrett and I have discovered a little white speck on her gums and feel the sharpness of a possible tooth arriving soon! I cannot believe it but things are happening and Malin is growing up! We are very much enjoying this stage as it quickly goes forward, whether we're ready or not!


Ciao!

Visitors

We enjoyed a wonderful visit two weekends ago from Garrett's parents and brother Brannon. It was a great for them to see Malin, how much she is growing and changing and spend some quality time together! It flew by as is expected when you're having fun and are always busy! We were of course entertained the whole weekend by many of Malin's "tricks", great meals, walks and a few basketball games!Many pictures were taken but I'll add a few of my favorites that sum up the great weekend! See you again Stone Family!!
