Father's Day Weekend!!

So this last weekend was Father's Day. Aaron and I took the opportunity to just spend all weekend together as a family. It was Aaron's first father's day! He is the most wonderful daddy and Cassidy is lucky to have him. I suprised Aaron with coffee, a pastry and pliers on Sunday. (He wanted the pliers) :) I also tried to let him relax and so I cleaned the house and made a yummy beef stew!We went on a long walk to the park! Cody loves his dad and sister!

The pigs come right up to the fence. Cassidy was just saying hi to them.

I had the pleasure of spending some quality time with Rusty. I love my other baby as well. ;)
Aaron sat on the swing with Cass. He just rocked it back and forth gently. She wasnt too sure at first, she felt she had better hold on! However, she quickly decided it was fun!
Even though it was father's day I had to sneak in a picture with Cass too!
After a long weekend, we gave Cassidy a bath and daddy gave her a funky new hairstyle. Cassidy thought it was pretty funny! Dont they look very similar in this next picture? :)Overall it was a great weekend. Happy Father's Day honey! Cassidy and I love you so much! Thanks for being such a wonderful father

The many adventures of Cass

Cassidy is such a busy baby. She is always doing something fun! She now goes to a library class on Thursdays that is for babies. She absolutely loves it, we sing and dance and read etc. She already has her first best friend. :) I will post some pictures of them next week! Here a few recent pictures.She now actually reaches for the silly things that hang down from the mat thing now. How cute!


So she was sitting in her bumbo at work and lets just say she went #2 but that is an understatement. I guess since she was sitting down her poop had nowhere to go but straight up! I had to take a picture because I was in total amazement. Sorry if this grosses anyone out but I believe such events should be well documented. :-)

Cass thought the whole thing was hilarious! She must take after her daddy. :)

Oh the joys of motherhood, I wouldnt trade it for the world!

Happy 4 Months Cassidy!

My baby is now 4 months old! I cant believe it. Time as flown by, however I must say I am loving being a mom more and more each day. I cant believe how lucky Aaron and I are to have such a wonderful happy healthy baby.

At 4 months Cassidy... comes to work with me.
Everyone loves having her. She is my design inspiration! She gets so much attention at work and I love that I get to be with her full time still. I have a wonderful boss. Cassidy gets paid as well! She gets 5 cents everytime she pushes the copy button on the copy machine as well as getting paid 1 penny everytime she holds on to a paper and delivers it to someone. She got paid $1.15 the other day! It went into her piggy bank! :)Cassidy now smiles at everyone and if she is not sleeping or eating she is probably smiling. She also rolls over both ways now and has laughed a few times. The first real time she laughed was when we went home and she was playing with her Uncle John. I know she is just going to love her silly uncles! I cant wait for her to laugh more and more. She still loves her swing and bouncer.

She loves to grab at anything and everything that she can see in front of her. She especially loves to pull on my hair and so I am officially going to be bald pretty soon. lol She loves to stand up and she loves to sit in her bumbo and see everything that is going on.


She now weighs 13 lbs and 8 oz and is 24 & 1/2 inches long. She grows so much each day, we are going to CA at the beginning of July for 2 whole weeks and I cant wait for her to get to see her grandparents, uncles, aunts and all the people who love her!

Daddy and I love you Cassidy! Dont grow up too fast! :)

My Happy Baby!

No real exciting post. I just thought I would share a few recent pictures. Everyone says how happy Cassidy seems to be and I must say she really is happy 99% of the time. I am so blessed to have such a happy wonderful baby. She makes me smile all day even when I am frustrated at work. She is a future CEO because of all the business meetings she has attended. She sure lets you know if it is a boring topic by falling asleep but when it is interesting she always gives her input. :) These next two pictures are her at work with me.

She sits on her bouncer and is my design inspiration.
I take Cassidy out jogging as much as I can when the weather is nice of course. She used to fall directly to sleep but now she stays awake the whole time checking out the sights. I try to point out any dogs or birds. :-)

She seems to love it.

Professional Family Pictures!

So on May 1oth we took some family pictures at Lawson Gardens here in Pullman. Not only was it our 1 year anniversary but it was also my first mothers day! Cassidy is 3 months old in these pictures. :) We cant wait to get them printed to have around our house of our little happy family.

The best one with daddy!
We think this is our favorite one this is probably the one we will get a large print of to have in our house. :) Cassidy's eyes are so blue!


Mama's girl!



Of course Cassidy is more smiley and alert nowadays but I am so happy with how these turned out!! Babies change and grow so quickly, I cant believe she is almost 4 months old!! Aaron and I are so blessed in our lives!!

A trip home to meet Donovan Lane Pizzo!!

So this last Friday, Laurie was in labor and my mom said, "You should just come home to surprise John and Laurie." She was kidding but I decided right then that it would be so much fun!! Of course, I couldnt afford a real last minute ticket. But... we had a standby ticket and the flights down on Saturday morning looked wide open so I just packed Cass and I up and away we went!!! Daddy was very sad to see us go because he said he would miss his girls so much but he was glad Cassidy was going to meet her new cousin! I flew into Sacramento at 12 and we went straight to the Vallejo Kaiser to see the new baby! I now have the most adorable nephew in the world!!! Welcome to the world Donovan Lane Pizzo!!! Born May 29, 2009. 7lbs, 13oz and 21 inches long! My brother and sister-in-law didnt even recognize their own sister! They were so tired and out of it, it actually took them a minute to realize yes it was really me and Cassidy!! They were so shocked! I love pulling off a surprise!
So that evening Uncle James and Aunt Melissa came over and it was their first time seeing Cassidy!!! Everyone says that Cassidy looks like my brother James and I think the following pictures prove that theory correct. :) It was so great to see them and I cant wait for them to have their baby so I will have another niece or nephew and Cassidy will have another cousin! (I just realized this post has a million exclamation points but I cant help it! It was so exciting!)




So we were all getting ready for dinner and John and Laurie said they were going to come over for dinner as well!!! They are crazy! They had the baby 24 hours before that! Laurie is amazing! While we were all eating dinner, both babies were tired.



I thought I was going to fly home Monday morning but the flights were all too full so I stayed until Tuesday morning. It actually worked out perfect because it allowed me to see some of my friends, Aaron's dad and spend some more time with Donovan while my brother went to work.


Here is Cass with Aunt Amanda!!!

Grandpa Johnson came over for a visit!

Mike, Angela and Bob stopped by!We went to visit Hil. :) Cassidy is smiling!

Cassidy hung out with her Aunt Laurie while I...
Got to hang out and hold my nephew Donovan!

We also got to see my friend Heather but all the pictures I took of her are dark. :( Alyse was a little sick so we couldnt see her either. Good thing we will be home again soon!

Cassidy had a wonderful trip, she did so well on all the airplanes. She just slept through the flights and smiled at everyone she saw! I am so happy I decided to go no matter how tired I am now. We cant wait to come home WITH AARON in July and see everyone again!
