Camping in Jemez - Sept 2008

This was a wonderful trip with GP, Grandma Diane and Dan. Unfortunately, it was our last with Dan, who passed away about a month and half later. We miss him terribly, and love that we had the time we did with him.

Sedona & Grand Canyon - Labor Day 2008

Just posting all the great things we missed getting on the blog. Trying to play catch up! Don't know how many people even check this site anymore since I haven't updated in so long.

Two rugrats have been keeping me busy!!

Getting in the spirit for Turkey Day!!

Hannah started drawing "people" a few weeks ago. Wanted to share these with you!!


Aunties!!Shanny's new do! So cute!!


All the girls feetsies....left from middle bottom: Mama, Hannah, Aunt Jeanners, Aunt Shanny, Grandma Sunnie.

Balloon Fiesta 2008

We apologize........the blog has not been updated for 2 months. After we complete all the postings, you will see why. We have been having a wonderfully busy time!!!

These will be out of date order, but oh well. All I can say is...........BALLOON FIESTA!! The kids loved it, and the big kids were pretty giddy as well.

Hayden's 1st Birthday!

Hayden's Walking (and crawling)

Yes, Hayden is walking on his own!! He has taken quite a few steps with Mommy and Daddy, but that's all for now.




Also, he is crawling finally!! He can now pull himself up. This was the first time I saw him do it and of course, it was for food.

Some new & some overdue

Yes, apparently you can get a princess in a box.


Darling ballerina dancing, as Hannah says she's "doing ballerina."

Hannah started this one all by herself, I promise.


Hannah bolts when Hayden and his walker come around!




I'm sure we all did this when we were younger...





Hayden cracks up about learning to say, "Bye-bye."





Hannah walking her favorite kitty, Sachi Neptune (Aunt Shanny's). I have never heard giggling like this come out of Hannah...so funny.




Now let's see runway models do this!! Shoes 8 sizes too big for you, get attacked by a walker, and keep going! Hannah has made herself a little runway across the kitchen so she can enjoy the clacking of the shoes and watching herself in the reflection of the oven and dishwasher. You go girl!







We also had a wonderful dual birthday celebration for Shanny's 21st and Grandma Sunnie's undisclosed age at Andrew's house. Does anyone have pictures???????

Splashground with Walsh/Noce cousins

Little Lucy is getting big!!

Hayden and Joseph (Nicholas and Juli's son). Joseph is 7 months but is as big as Hayden and as you can see here, crawling and climbing!!

Hannah, Kate and Lucy. As you can see, only Kate was interested in getting wet at this point. It took Hannah and Lucy some time to get in the splashing water.


But, Lucy and Hannah had fun doing laps around the park!



Hannah with a cup and bucket, pouring water, still wasn't into getting wet.



Hayden, however, loved it!! I couldn't get pictures of him because he was pulling me through all the showers, walking while Mommy held his hands. We were soaked!!
