Auntie Lu Lu

Audrey had so much fun with Luanne. We will call her Auntie Lu Lu. She is definitely worthy of being an aunt. There was little debate about whether it should be Grandma or Auntie, we went with Auntie!! Every morning Audrey would just light up when she arrived. Went right to her and was content. She especially liked when Auntie Lu Lu would share her "special" cookies with her. Audrey would go to great lengths to get to them!! Speaking of I could not find them at the grocery today. :( Audrey won't eat the other ones now!! Can't wait to vacation and hang out again. Wish we lived closer, we could build our friendship even more so. Luanne and her family are originally from CA. So maybe some day in the future they will move back to the west coast.

Thanks again Luanne. Audrey sends her kisses and many many hugs.

Orlando

What a truly Awesome Vacation. Above is Brent and Audrey talking and enjoying each other while on the Ferry ride over to Seattle. Where we then carried all that luggage and Audrey 4 blocks to catch the bus to the airport. The journey has begun. After Audrey not sleeping and Brent and I keeping her occupied in the back of the plane we finally arrived in Orlando. Had issues with one Car rental company and got it figured out with Thrifty then we were on our way to Luannes. What a wonderful person. If most of you have looked at her blog you know what happened from there so I won't bore you with it again. I am just truly thankful for Luanne and her family and there great hospitality and welcoming arms!!

The other picture is one we took when we arrived on Walt Disney World Resorts land. Reminded me of Brent driving!! (yes Luanne got to experience that as well) Got to love him!!

Anyway I will try to post more. Loves to all. (can you tell I'm tired?!)

Weary Travelers~Home Sweet Home

Well we have arrived safely at home, just extremely tired.
Thank you Luanne and Family for such an awesome and amazing vacation. You made our vacation so wonderful. We can't thank you enough. We miss you guys already and can't wait to do it again. Only next time it will be Spring or Fall.

Anyhow I have many, many pictures to post. I will hopefully get to it within the next few days for all you anxious peoples!! We love you all and miss you as well.

Who said meeting people over the internet was such a bad thing!! Loves to Auntie Lu Lu!!

10 months old Today

I picture of me at 10 mos and a picture of my daddy at 10 mos. Aren't we cute. I can now pull myself up in my crib. Daddy taught me how last weekend. I also pulled myself over the step going into the kitchen from the living room last night. I really wanted to get to my mommy. I didn't fall or anything. They were so proud of me.

Tomorrow we leave on our vacation to Florida. Wish mommy and daddy luck with flying with me. I will do great, they just dont' know it yet!! Loves to everyone and we will post pictures of Luanne and Disney World when we get back.

Daddy's Little Girl

Today after Daddy got home and I woke up from my nap, all I wanted to do was be with my Daddy. He took me for a ride around our front yard on his quad and we worked on a part for Gunner. He tried to hand me to mom several times and I refused. The quad ride was so much fun. I laughed the whole time. Then I got to pretend I was driving it too. Next year he is going to buy me a pink helmet and pink riding gear so that I can go on short rides with he and mommy. I can't wait. Dirt here we come. Thanks Daddy for spending the afternoon with me!!

Is it time for bed yet

On Sunday we had a pretty long day. We went to the Bainbridge Island Garden tours and then went to dinner with the McG's for Kati and Mike's birthday's. By the time we got home she was more than ready to go to bed. She did not nap but maybe a half hour all day. She just keeps going and going and going......

Chillin' Uncle Blake style!

I did really well with Uncle Blake. On Sunday we went to church with Pappy and Blake. Audrey and Blake were looking cool in pink. Then when we got back Audrey was so tired and hot, she was just chillin on the couch with Blake. It was really cute. Love you Uncle Blake.

My Ears

Everybody wonders where I get my ears. Well here is your answer:

Uncle Cody

Playing with Granny and Grandpa

Oh how I love my Granny and Grandpa. Granny got down on the floor and played with me. Grandpa let me play with his hat. I don't think I will ever be afraid to sit on Santa's lap since I have my own personal Santa Claus!! I love you.

Look at her and Grandpa hamming it up for the camera top left. And her little crinkled nose in the picture with Granny on the top right.

My Cousins and I

Over the 4th of July weekend as you all know made a quick trip to CA. Audrey got to spend quite a bit of time with her cousins. This time she had in on the fun. She just loves them all and the attention she gets as well. We took the kids to the park where she got to go down slides and swing. She also got to ride in the back seat between all of them. She thought this was great. Hours of entertainment and whatever she wanted. Unfortuneatly I didn't get any pictures with her aunties this time around. Hopefully we will see them again soon. Miss everyone and thanks for the great time, despite the heat!! We love you.

The oldest and the youngest

While we were in CA, we got to go and visit Brent's great Uncle Pete. This is Grandma June's Brother. He is the last of the kids left on the Dunlap side of the family. What a wonderful man and sharp. He has a great memory.

Audrey just adored him. She sat next to him and jibber jabbered, smiled, and gave him kisses. When we were leaving we told her to blow him a kiss and say "bye-bye" well that she did. She said "bye-bye" for the first time. Brent and I both were there to hear it and were so shocked. Brought smiles to everyones faces.

100 posts and still counting!!

Mount Shasta. It was a beautiful 4th of July. This was taken as we were driving down the Highway on our way home. Just reminds me how lucky we are to be free!!

Anyway we are happy to be home and out of the heat. We miss our families alot, but the heat is just too much. I will hopefully get to edit the rest of the pictures tonight or tomorrow and will post when I can. We have been really busy, getting caught up with work and unpacking our goodies, luggage and adjusting to Reality again.

2 more weeks and we are off to Orlando, Florida!! Luanne and Walt Disney here we come!!

The Park

On Sunday we went to the park in East Bremerton to play. It was a gorgeous day just really hot. We got to 90!! Anyway this was Audrey's first time to a park. She had a blast on the swings. The slides were too hot for her to go down.

Jacob loved the park as well. There was plenty of things to crawl on and hide under!! We went back later in the evening with the McGuire kids and they played hide n seek. Jacob won, he knew all the good places, since he was just there.

It is a really nice park. We plan to take Audrey there often, especially when she starts walking.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and we will see all of you blistering hot Californians in a few days. Jake doesn't want to come back to the heat, but doesn't like the house at night!!

~Cousins~

GIANTS VS MARINERS

Jacob is a Giants fan. His uncle Darren decked him out in Giants gear before he came to visit.
Audrey however is a Mariners fan. She was all decked out in pink Mariners clothes. This was the first major league ball game for both of them. The Mariners won both Saturday and Sunday. Pretty good games.
Audrey really likes playing and hanging out with her cousin Jake. Brent has also taught her how to stick out her tongue so that is what she does quite often now. If you tell her bye-bye, she says "dad, dad." Brent had a wonderful Father's day.

Scrub a dub, dub, dub.

Everybody watching me in the tub.

Jake on the train

Little froggy swimming in the tub. Jake took this picture.

Me and my hot mamma!!

Take the picture all ready, I have toys to chew on!!

My Vacation I will do what I want to!!

Even if it means being lazy and staying in my Pajama's all day!!

~My cousin Jake~

Just cuddling with Jake on his bed. Showing him my toes. He is good with me and loves playing with me.

I decided to scoot over to see my mommy and got stuck under the futon! Mom Im stuck why are you taking my picture!

Hamming it up for the camera

Cheese

A game of Yahtzee!!

Danica and Jake played Yahtzee as Audrey hammed it up for the camera!!

Danica won two games and Jake one.

Audrey enjoyed watching and trying to help.

My Auntie and cousin are here!!

After a 22 hour train ride, Danica and Jake finally arrived at midnight on Monday. Since Brent is out of town and Danica claims she needs a cozy bed, I let her sleep with me. Sassy woke up and saw Danica in bed and jumped right up there with us. She was smiling she was so happy. Sassy really misses Brent and doesn't like me at all when he is gone.

Audrey loved having her aunties attention and being able to pet Sassy. Jake was still snoozing away in the living room.

We are so happy they are here. Really enjoying the company. Tuesday they rested and we did grocery shopping. Today we hung out at home, as Danica was not feeling well. Jake went up the road and played with the neighbor boy for a while, and I got some work done.

Tomorrow we will go to Poulsbo and walk around. Have a good weekend planned as well.

Notice Audreys hair!!

All Smiles

I put the bow wrap thingy in her hair because when I put it on, some of her hair actually went over the top of it!!! Yeah.

Anyway she is getting so big and such a personality.

Yesterday was her yellow day. She is in her Dora outfit Great Grandma and Papa Cameron bought her.

Lots of loves to everyone.

All smiles

Sorry tried to post a new picture, but blog is having some issues right now. Will try again later.

Freedom

Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is first of all the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them-- and then, the opportunity to choose.
~C. Wright Mills

On May 31st Brent celebrated 2 years of freedom from the Navy.

While we were at the Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday there were several Bald Eagles flying about. We counted 4 in the time were were there and walked around a bit. The tide was out so they were fishing. It was really cool. This particular eagle was on this pillar and he let us get within about 5 feet of the pillar. Then he flew away. They were huge and beautiful.

I am hoping to get some pictures of Audrey this weekend. As I know I am going to get comments about it. Love to all.
