Mia was blessed on Sunday, May 4th.

Doesn't she look beautiful? Her aunt Nicole made

this blessing dress just for her. Aunt Brooke,

Uncle Chris, Aunt Nicole, Uncle Kevin and

all the grandparents came to see her in her first

white dress. Her Aunt Lucy and cousin Addison

made her a beautiful bracelet to wear and we

put it on at church so we didn't get a picture of it,

but it matched perfectly.

More cousin pictures. Doesn't cousin Scott

look cute surrounded by his two girls!

He is so cute with these little babies

and he already takes good care of them.

So here is "Happy Hailey" and "Moody Mia"

Just kidding, Mia is just a serious little thing but

she also smiles and laughs too. Aren't these

cousins too cute! Only 3 months apart.

My sister Nicole and Mia.

At one point, Hailey decided she was going to suck on Mia's hand.

I'm pretty brave putting this picture of me
up with no makeup but Mia is actually smiling
while she sleeps on me in the morning, and
we wonder why we can't get her to sleep in
her bed at night!!

This is the position she sleeps in her bed. Her
hair is crazy! It takes more maintenance than
my own.

I took Mia outside because it was finally a nice
day without wind.

We love the bjorn- too fun. She always has the same

little scowl on her face -must be from her dad :)

So I decided I better put these pictures of Mia and

my sisters Bre and Brooke up because she already

doesn't look this little anymore- I was waiting until

I had one with Nicole and Mia but we are staying

with them in June so I will get lots of pictures with

cousins too!

This is Mia's favorite position.

Trying to get a smile on camera isn't very easy, but I will keep working on it.
Pretty cute.

As you can see, Mia is a very serious little thing. Hmm, I wonder

which parent is serious - Rick or me? Yes it's both of us for sure!!

She already looks grown up.
Cute outfit, but I don't know about the hat.

Our Easter present.

She's a beauty.

She's here! My water broke Friday morning at 10:00 AM. She was born at 10:06 PM that night. Mia Camille was 7lbs 13 oz and 19.5 inches long. Yes Rick and I both had black hair until we were about 1 yr old and we both had a lot of it!

Our tribute to Diesel...he has been such a good dog.
