I really enjoyed playing with my Uncle Blake. He found me some blocks and a pig that oinked.
I was really fascinated with all the taxidermy animals he had in his room. So he took me around the house and was telling me about the rest of them. I didn't want to stop looking at them. Thank you Uncle Blake for being so cool. I love you
Jennifer and I with the kiddos!!
Audrey and Cole are 11 days apart. It was great to get some pictures of the two of them together. They checked each other out, but was like ok I have met you, now we have things to do.
I love these pictures, Cole looks like he is ready to play football. Audrey is looking at him like what are you doing? Cole is already walking and Audrey really wanted to be walking with him but isn't quite there yet. She will be fairly soon though. It was sure cute to watch the two of them.
Ok there are 4 new posts, hope everyone enjoys them. More to come tomorrow night.
Loves to all
The reason for celebration, Grandpa turned 50 and Im turning 1. Grandpa swore for his birthday he would not be at the BBQ. Well look were we found Grandpa, at the bbq. Man was it worth it. He sure can BBQ. The best tri-tip you will ever taste. That was the word as you walked around while people were eating "this is delicious, man Dan can cook, this is marvelous, yummy, can't beat Dan's bbqing" Thanks Dad for manning the tri-tip. We had a great turn out and hope that Dad enjoyed his birthday.
Danica and Darren picked us up from the airport. After a not so pleasant trip to Colusa and a couple hours of recovery at Brents dads house, Audrey and I spent the night at Darren and Danica's. Must say their bed is quite cozy. Big enough for 3 people to sleep very comfortably. We got to bed pretty late and so we also slept in. Well we were up at 7 am because Audrey was hungry. While Darren went to return his mom's car, us girls napped. 
After getting ready and such the girls went and did our shopping and Darren mended fences with his dad. Danica took Audrey on a wagon ride and to see the goats. She didn't quite know what to think of them.
Danica's dog and cat were a little bothered by Audrey and the amount of attention she was getting from Danica and Darren but they were good and let Audrey touch them. We made sure Bozie got his usual treats and loves. He too got to sleep in the bed!! Anyhow I had a great day with my Lil' sis and loved staying at their house. Thank you so much Danica and Darren, We love you guys!!
Pictures are priceless memories. They can be captured many times in ones life, but only displayed when warranted digitally!! Bet you are all dying to see pictures of the trip....................Well check back later hopefully I will have them uploaded, edited and ready to post.
Thanks for a great trip and awesome family time.
Audrey loves Avacados. So I often cut a half of one up for her and let her eat it. As you can see she loves it and to get it all over her face and hands. Suprisingly she did not get it on her outfit. Afterward she got a bath!! Which as you can see she loved that too. We pretty much have her on all table foods now. This kid can eat!! Not to hot on vegetables right now but loves the fruit.
Much love to all and to our Cali family we will see you in 4 days.
The pictures in purple were taken a few days ago. But it really shows how much she is growing.
Today she had her 9/10 mos check up. A little late. She is a wopping 16.5 lbs and 29 inches long. We switched her to our family practice doctor and he says is she normally this low in her weight for her height and age? Yes, Yes she is. He said she looked Happy and healthy so it was ok.
She has started pulling herself up on things quite a bit. She even walks along them with proper motivation!! She is trying to stand up on her own from sitting down but is still a bit top heavy and has realized she has some really long legs!!
The bottom picture is of her watching her Daddy mow the lawn. She was all sorts of excited to watch him. She was waving to him and saying "dad dad" but her window was closed. Then he came up to it and knocked and she started laughing. He also brought a garden snake to the window for her to see. She thought that was pretty cool. My child with no fears.
Anyhow, back to work. Love and kisses to all.
Audrey waiting on the bed while I finish getting ready and playing with my cell phone. This is a good picture of how big she is getting. We were also waiting for Auntie Lu Lu to come and get us.
The one of with the red hat on, is while at Magic Kingdom and we were trying the hat on her over her sun bonnet. We thought she looked cute. I bought her the red hat, but now she doesn't like to where it!! Probably because it has Minnie on it!! That is just my guess anyway.
While in Orlando we took Audrey swimming in the pool at the hotel. She just loves the water. Just like her daddy. She thought it was even better that when she got out of the pool she got to go in the tub and play in the water some more.
She looked so cute with in her Ralph Lauren swimsuit from her Grandma!!
During the whole trip Audrey really enjoyed spending quality time with her daddy. So the other picture is of she and Daddy enjoying morning coffee before Magic Kingdom!!
Sorry it has taken me so long to post again, been busy. Anyhow....
The first park we went to was Epcot. We bought a new stroller while there and assembled it in the parking lot. While putting it together Rick and Luanne snuck up on us and scared both of us. Then it proceeded to down pour. We quickly sought cover in a pavilion not to far away. Finished putting it together then waited for the down pour to stop. It lasted maybe 10 minutes not to bad. You can see in the back ground of the stroller picture it is grey skies. Then in the Epcot Ball picture it is blue skies again. Welcome to weather in the south!!
I hear it was quite a treat to have Rick join us in the park!! I am glad he did it was great to enjoy his company for the day. Thanks Rick. After seeing the different things around the park, we went to the different countries within Epcot. This is where Brent mysteriously found two blonde girls, while walking around with Audrey. They were from Norway. They did come back and get me (thank God) and we got a personal boat ride with them. Learned about them and their country. Audrey and Brent were highly fascinated. One of them gave Audrey her first souvenir, a collectors pin of the Princesses. We thought that was sweet. We continued to tour the countries and then Went to get in line with our fast passes for Soarin.
That ride was great. You are in a hang glider simulator thingy and soar over CA. They mist in different smells and such. It is really cool.
After a very hot and long day we call it quits. The three of us went on an hours detour searching for a restaraunt only couldn't find it and wound up at a Sizzler, Luanne and Rick went home and crashed. All and all it was a great day.
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.
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?!)
I really enjoyed the time with my cousins. They loved entertaining me and I had all the attention I ever wanted. We even played patty cake.
