Two more Christmas'...

Because Mommy and Daddy's parents all live so close...I got three Christmas' all in one day. :) At Nana and Papa's, I got a special new kitchen to play with in my room. At Gram and Papa's house, I got two purses and some special books. I was really tired at the end of the day, but Mommy says I was an angel. But before we left, we took a special family picture together...don't we look good??

Shannon's Christmas Brunch!!

All I can say is "Yummy"! I think this might be Daddy's favorite meal of the year. We all went to Shannon and Bruce's house for brunch and a gift exchange today. I sat in Gabbi's high chair and got to eat all kinds of yummy things. Then Gabbi and I played with toys and even went outside because it was such a nice day. I think it was a great morning...

Pumpkin Patch Day!!!

Today we went to Moore's Pumpkin Patch in Pleasanton!! I like the pumpkins and I'm trying really hard to say the word, but it may take me a while longer. I really liked the wagons they had and once I had one to drag around, I could hardly pay attention to anything else. But don't we make a cute little family??

Happy Birthday Uncle Colin!

Oh, but it is soooooooo hot!!!! We had a nice dinner and time with your friends today for your birthday and I'm so glad you're my uncle. Sorry I never looked at the camera and sorry about all the M&Ms under your sofa and sorry about all the baby proofing you had to do. But see...now you're ready to have a cousin for me! ;-)

Guess what???

I'm going to be a big sister!!!!! So cool!! Mommy doesn't feel very good...but I'm excited!! :)

Time for Great-Grandma Corstorphine's Memorial

I didn't get to go on this trip because the boat wasn't safe...but it was an important day for Mommy and for her family. These are all of Mommy's Aunts and Uncles (with Aunt Cecily missing) and of course my Grandpapa. This picture of Mommy kind of looks like maybe she has a secret too...what do you think???

Happy Birthday Pa-paw!

Today was not just the Fourth of July, but Pa-Paw's birthday too!!!  We had a quiet day at his house, now that we are all moved in to our new place in Pleasanton.  I finally got more of Mommy and Daddy's attention than the boxes do. :)  I liked Pa-Paw's cake too and had to try really hard not to put my hands in it. 

Happy Birthday Gram!

Its always fun to talk about how old ~I~ am...but not so fun to talk about how old Gram is.  I don't understand that though...because nobody seems to believe how old she is anyway.  We had her party at the Americana with GG and Uncle Bubba even came to take me swimming.  We played in the water and had some food and then just played with my bubbles and sunscreen. :)  What a good day...

My First Wedding!

What a beautiful day! For the last two weeks its been really stormy and rainy, but the sun came out today, just to shine on Uncle Colin and Auntie Jen's wedding day! This was my first wedding and I was such a good girl everyone said. I was quiet during the entire ceremony and then even took a nap in Mommy's arms at the reception. I ate squash and pears for dinner, but everyone else had Mexican food, horchata, and sangria.

Doesn't my Uncle Colin look so happy?? And isn't my Auntie Jen so beautiful??

Christmas Day!!! Twice!!

Christmas morning I woke up earlier than normal and got Mommy and Daddy hoppin' right away! I got new books and yummy food in my stocking, but I couldn't figure out that squishy orange ball in the toe, and then some clothes and another book of old nursery rhymes. Mommy got a new knife for the kitchen and Daddy got a wine chiller and a pillow! We had fun...until Mommy put me in a box...I didn't like it much.

Later on we went to Nanna and Grandpa's house where I got my Discovery Dome, my first dolly and some special clothes from Aunt Janell. At the end of the day, I was soooooo tired...but I had fun.
Then the next day we went to Gram and Grandpa's house in Reno for ANOTHER Christmas! That's where I discovered Mommy's new toothbrush and got some bath toys and books from Gram and Auntie Kirstie.

Christmas Eve 2007

My First Christmas!
Today was a fun day for me. I slept in, I went shopping with Mommy and Daddy, and then we got all dressed up! Look at my pretty dress! Daddy tried to buy it big enough but its just a little snug...can you believe I'm so tall?? I had to start the classic little girl move and lift my dress up to show everyone my tights and isn't that some great "cheese" Mommy is giving the camera?? I got really tired later on in my jammies, but I didn't want to go to bed. With a big bow like this, how could I?

4 Generations of Women!

This is my Great-Grandma, my Mommy, me and my Grandma on Thanksgiving. I guess its not often that there are four generations living, so Mommy tries to take a picture of us all as often as she can. Sorry I didn't smile...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

What a day! I got up early and had my breakfast and then a nap. Family started coming over at noon and we had a great time! I slept while everyone ate and then I got to come down and try my great-grandma's yams! I didn't like them, but please don't tell her. :( Then later my new Auntie Jen gave me a bottle...until I figured out she wasn't my Mommy. We watched a movie too and had pie for dessert. I finally went to bed at 8:30 and Mommy and Daddy say they "crashed" at 9:30. I think it was a good day...

My First Trip to Windsor!

This weekend I got to go with Mommy and Daddy to Windsor, which is north of Santa Rosa, but not quite to the redwoods (not that I know what those are yet, but oh well.) We left Friday evening after bathtime and got there in just a couple of hours and got right to bed. Then Saturday, I got up with Mommy and we let Daddy sleep a while longer. I ate, and played and then took a nap while Mommy and Daddy got to enjoy spending some time together. Then we left and went to a little country market for lunch and then some wineries. This picture was taken at Ferrari-Carrano, the winery with the best gardens. Isn't it beautiful?? (Can you see Mommy's "tail"?? Hehe! She forgot it was there!) It was rainy and cold but I know Daddy had a really good time. :) And then when we left, we got a little "lost" and made our way over to Korbel which was nice too because they had a big fireplace where I could sit with Mommy. :) Then we went back to the timeshare that Gram and Grandpapa let us stay at (Thank you!) and I got another good nap and we just spent the time together under warm blankets and in front of the fireplace. I had my Daddy and my Mommy all to myself the whole weekend!!! It was great!!

Happy Birthday Mommy!!!

Today was Mommy's birthday and we went to
Buca Di Beppo's for dinner. I didn't have good naps today, so I was kind of fussy, but I got to play with Grandpa's mustache, Uncle Colin's "handles" again, and suck on Auntie Kirsten's spoon. :) Gram held me too and gave me lots of kisses. Mommy's 28 now...but I have a feeling she'll be 28 again. ;-)

Look! Its got handles!!

Hahahaha!! Uncle Colin lifted me up high and I found handles way up here! They're fluffy and squishy and feel funny in my fingers. But they work really well. :) I don't think he'll be putting me up here on his shoulders again any time soon...

BBQ at Nanna and Grandpa's house

Today we had a BBQ at Nanna and Grandpa's house and Auntie Shannon came with Bruce and my friend Gabby. Gabby snuggled with her Mommy most of the day, but she got to hang out with me and my Mommy too and I got to play with Grandpa. The good news is that I've gotten much better at napping when we go to Nanna's, but Mommy says I still have a long way to go. I'm getting to be a big girl though...I'm gonna figure it out soon...

My Uncle Bubba!

Look at my Uncle Bubba! His name is really John and he's Mommy's baby brother. He's big and strong and has this funny, scratchy thing on his chin. He finally came to visit from Florida and played with me for a whole day with Auntie Kirstie while Mommy was at work. I like his big strong arms... :)
