Happy Easter!

My very first Easter Egg hunt - at my weekly playgroup.





















I also got to make Easter cookies, decorate them, and of course eat them!
















Celebrating Easter with G-ma and Grandpa.
















Easter morning - getting filled up on the treats inside the eggs.





















The Easter Bunny brought me lots of stuff in my Easter basket, but also got me a sandbox! Unfortunately, it was sprinkling, so I had to wait till the next day to play in it.
















Heading out for my 4th Easter Egg hunt this week. I'm a pro now.
















Look at me go.





















And finally, no more high chairs for me! Cousin Nate and I are big enough to eat Easter dinner at our own table.

I'm 1 1/2!

That's right I'm 18 months. My how time flies when you're having fun.
Here's some things I'm doing at 18 months:

- climbing on the couches, chairs, whatever I can find.
- starting to say more and more words.
- obessed with animals and Animal Planet, especially my monkey shows.
- started saying uh-oh when I want to be picked up. (Mommy thinks its strange since I've said up before, but its just that uh-oh is so much more fun to say!)


Look how long my little body has gotten.





















I went to my first bull sale. There was a lot of mooing going on.
















I climbed the gate to get a better look at the horsies.





















I love going to the park.





















Goofing around...
















I still use my smile to my advantage. :)
















Did someone lock me in?





















Already filling Daddy's shoes.

15 Months

Some things I'm doing at 15 months:
-running and climbing
-signing for all done, monkey, elephant, duck, and pig
-cooking orders in my restaurant
-loving on my cats (chasing them so I can rest my head on their body)
-reading and reading books
-playing marching band

I'm so proud, I can now get on the big chair.





















I'm being silly, I'm inside a box!
















I love to eat apples like a big boy.
















I don't have to try hard to charm when I have this smile.





















Exhausted after a long day of play.

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas filled with family, fun, and lots of presents. You could even describe it as Christams Chaos! What do you expect with a one year old!


Christmas Eve was at Grandma and Granddaddy's house with 2 one year olds and a 3 1/2 month old. Talk about a lot of presents.

Can you see some of the chaos.
















Playing my new drum with Daddy.





















Is this box a present, too?
















I can't believe all the stuff Santa brought me.





















For Christmas dinner we went to Gma and Grandpa's house where I got to spend more time with my Uncle Zach. He was on leave for 2 weeks!
















The exhaustion has set in.





















Oh, wait! I love horsies!

















Ride 'em!

Santa and Snow

I did not like Santa at all. I know he's supposed to bring me presents if I'm good, but why oh why do I have to sit in his lap?
















Something much more tolerable was playing in the snow. It was actually snowing while we were outside. I didn't notice, but Mommy said that is how snow is in Dallas. It sure was pretty and lots of fun as it got my mittens all wet!

Thankful Thanksgiving

We had a blast on Thanksgiving. We ate great turkey and food at Grandma and Granddaddy's house and continued the fun the next day with hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill at Gma and Grandpa's house. We have so much to be thankful for, our list could go on forever. Look how purely happy Kyle is in this picture. Things like this make all our worries melt away. And as it should - we really don't have true things to worry about.

We are thankful for:
- our jobs - we both have jobs that are "stable" even in this down economy.
- our health - we are all 3 healthy and hopefully with continue to be.
- our families - both our families are close and have provided us with so much love and support.
- Kyle - he has brought us so much joy and laughter - the best medicine for anything.
- being so thankful - as I said, our list could go on forever, that makes us the most thankful.

Happy Halloween!

Roundin' up my cattle.






















Posing with pumpkins at class.





















Getting off my horsie after a long day's work.





















Decorating my pumpkin was almost as much fun as decorating the white floor and cabinets!





















Trick or Treat!
