Portraits

Hope has loved her new-found talent in creating portraits this year in kindergarten. I get 3 - 5 of these a day! I thought these were adorable and hilarious - so Hope!

Portrait of Mommy

Hanging Out With Mimi & Papa

What does a little peanut do all night at Mimi and Papa's (besides eat all the sweets she wants)?

This fur ball loves me . . . I know she does. She just doesn't know it yet. Maybe if I grab and yell at her some more, she'll come around.

Want to play with me?

Papa and I having a heart to heart conversation over Cheerios.

And big sister just likes to get into Mimi's costume jewelry . . .

"More"? This is my favorite sign language. Somehow it always results in food in my mouth!

Happy Birthday Crockpot!

Our little Crockpot turned one last week. What a difference a year makes! Haley keeps us on our toes, and we love her like mad. She has grown leaps and bounds in both weight and development. Each day we discover more and more of her personality. She is so much her father's daughter: while David may be outnumbered in gender, I am outnumbered with a house full of extroverts. I'll give peek-a-boo a try. They always love this trick.

My (only) friend, Kiah, came over to play with me on my big day! I didn't care if he used all my toys, as long as I could scream and chase him around the house.

I got a fun outfit and matching shoes from my grandparents! (Though I'm not sure I like anything on my feet . . . a true beach girl am I).

Waiting outside for my party guests!

I put up with so much around here!

That's my big sis - she gets to go to a football game. I'm about to go to bed!

Look Who's Walking!
