Summer Days!!

Swimming fun

Kartyr and Bradyn splashing around She did not care for the water in the little pool. She prefers the big swimming pool at the hotel =)

Much better to watch outside than go in

Bandaids

She had a sore on her thumb so to distract from this bandaid...
We put a "fun" one on her other hand =) It worked for awhile

Bubbles

Just wanted to show a few pictures of our latest activities =) We are going away with some friends this weekend so we should have lots more coming...

My Little Monkey's

looking angelic
Uh Oh!

Daring little girl...

Ready to be done!!

Yay! Smiles

~Posing pretty~

She will fold her hands and sometimes say "ta tu"(thank you) when we tell her to pray.
She definitely has days where she will cooperate for the camera better than other days =) Like most babies!
She turns 13 months tomorrow!! She has picked up on a lot this past month. She says more and will say something that sounds like come! She says that when she wants you to get her after she has gotten stuck somewhere or when she wants up on a chair with you. She is our little monkey climbing on anything she can find and taking some tumbles with them =) She actually has several bruises from her "adventures" she had today. She takes after her mommy and is probably going to be a "tomboy". She has been VERY cranky lately, but I noticed she now has 10 teeth so that is probably contributing to the crankiness. She decided that walking wasn't nearly as fun as crawling so after a week of steps hasn't done much, until tonight. After I just told someone I was glad she wasn't as mobile especially since she was climbing everywhere she decided to walk a lot. I guess we will see what she does tomorrow. =)

5 years

Our anniversary was on April 24th. We took a weekend trip to Eureka Springs. We shopped at clothing stores and motorcycle stores just so everyone knows it was fair to Darrin =) We rented a cabin by Beaver Lake. It was beautiful!!

~Our view~

I love the way the sunlight was 'dancing' on the water

This was part of the inside of the cabin.

Our self portrait =)

Kaylee's Party

Good to the last crumb...Part of the group of kids that were there. I think there were at least 6 missing from this picture.
Getting help from cousins while opening gifts =)
Trying to play with everything
Trying out her new tricycle

1 Year Old

Yummy cupcake =)

I made them just for the photo shoot too!

She kept sitting down with her back to me so I had to work with what she was giving me =)When you tell her to lay her head down she normally does for a second...She wasn't big into smiling for me :(Occasionally I would get a half smileThen we would go back to being sober...This was actually the first picture I took and one of the only ones with a smile

She is "1" or will be by 9:29 am. This year has seemed to fly. Watching her discover things has been so much fun. She now weighs 20lbs 5oz and is officially walking =) She still crawls of course, but she does take off more and more. She says ma-ma, da-da, bye, something buh for Bradyn, hi, uh-oh, and signs 'more'. She has 6 teeth with a couple almost ready to come through.

Smilebox isn't working on my computer so I won't be able to do one :(
