Blake gave me a new camera for Mother’s Day, so I got things started right by taking a super close-up shot of him cooking his famous chili.

We went up to the cabin to hang out with my side of the family for a while, and Nora got thoroughly spoiled by my mom, Dave, and Angie (who aren’t this blurry in real life).

We drove back down the canyon and over to Blake’s parents’ for dinner, and I took some pictures of his family for Nora’s little photo book. Welcome to the internet, guys!

I was trying to get a picture of the back of Nora’s Crown Burger onesie to give to the people at Crown Burger. Because I have a sickness.

The front says “small fry.”

The weather was gorgeous on Saturday, and we had an ambitious day planned. First, Sarah made Nora what she dubbed a “rally hat.” Unfortunately, when our neighbor asked what cause Nora was rallying for, I didn’t have an answer.

In the afternoon, when it was too hot for padded polyester hats and long sleeves, Sarah and I took Nora with us out to the Turnbulls’ to pick up some strawberry plants. Obviously, it was very tiring.

After a nap (in her bed–we didn’t just leave her in her seat!), Nora and Sarah camped out on the lawn, while Blake and I worked on the herb garden project that drank the Great Salt Lake. Because…it was so big. Anyway, Nora was cute.

Nora took this one of herself while she was playing with (read: eating) my phone.
