Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm just learning how to say "I love you"...but I sure know what it means. It means this special little Abby Cadabby card that Daddy got for me. I liked the card that Mommy got me too, but it just had flowers. (I can say the word "flowers"...but in my own special way that Mommy says "melts" her.) Anyway, I tried to take my special card in the bathtub with me but Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let me, and while they weren't thrilled with the idea, I did get to take it to bed with me. When Mommy and Daddy checked on me before they went to bed, the card was under my head, and I woke up in the morning with glitter on my cheeks. And the first thing I did...ask for the card again to hold and carry with me everywhere. :)

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??

Christmas at our home...

The most wonderful thing happened this morning when I got up! I was finally allowed to touch all the pretty packages under the Christmas tree! The most amazing thing I found was my new baby doll! She came with a cradle, a stroller and a carrier/carseat. She doesn't have a name, but I call her "baby" and we're having fun together. Then I helped Daddy open some more presents, and got all dressed up for the day. Something I don't really understand yet is that bump on Mommy's belly, but it looks pretty neat, doesn't it? :)

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we went to church and then to Candy's house for some food and fun. :) I got a neat phone from Candy, and Mommy and Daddy got a special ornament for the tree. You wouldn't believe all the wonderful food and presents they have. Certainly a Merry Christmas for them...

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...

Happy Birthday Daddy!

These pictures are from Daddy's birthday. I know it doesn't look like it...because it was also the day that we went with Gram and Papa to get their Christmas tree. I had fun running around among the trees and playing with rocks in the mud. I think my Daddy looks great in red...

Mommy and Daddy

Here's a good picture of what my Mommy and Daddy look like these days. :) After getting our Christmas tree all decorated, they went out for Mommy's 10 year H.S. reunion. Don't they look great? Almost as good as our tree...

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Not a really exciting day for me, and I don't like the food much, but I had fun playing with Aunt Janell, and getting all dressed up. :)

Our Christmas Tree!!

Today we got our Christmas Tree! Yes, a little early...but things are so busy we didn't have much choice. Mommy and Daddy have things to do all weekend, so we got the tree before Thanksgiving. Now we'll be able to decorate it when we have the time. It was rainy and cold, so I played in a fun little car while Mommy and Daddy found the tree. They got soaked, but I was the one who got upset about it all...oh well.

Happy Halloween!!

A pink poodle!!! This is the only picture where I'm not crying about being dressed up like an oversized, frilly rat. Mommy and Daddy were pretty sure that I wouldn't be excited about getting dressed up this year, and I sure wasn't. I don't understand what all the fuss is about and I'd much rather just be me...in my favorite jeans in Mama's chair. :)

Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival!

Another great annual trip out to HMB to walk the street and then look at all the great big pumpkins. I sat in my stroller almost the whole day until we got to the pumkin patch and maze later on. That was my favorite part. I got to run in a little corn field and try to pick up all the pumpkins I could find. I loved it when Mommy and Daddy chased me. I even got to play in the dirt a little...and that doesn't happen very often. ;-)

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 Father's Day Dada!

For Father's Day I took Daddy to mexican food in Pleasanton and then ice cream. And then the next day, I took him to breakfast. We had good food all weekend and Mommy took this great picture of us on Sunday.

My First Easter Sunday!

So today was my very first Easter Sunday. I'm not sure what it means, but I liked the singing in church and it was fun to see all of my family. We went to church in Pleasanton with Nana and Grandpa and I had a really hard time sitting still. I wasn't feeling really well so that made it hard to be a good girl. Nana gave me a really pretty bunny and took this great picture of me with Mommy and Daddy. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't getting really, really sick again...

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on its way!!!

Easter is almost here and that means my birthday is coming soon too...

Ms. Loretta at my daycare gave me these little eggs with DUCKIES inside!!! They're little squirty duckies and I can't wait to take them in the bath with me!!

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?

Tradition...

So I guess the story is

that every year, Mommy and Daddy
go to San Francisco to see the lighting
of the Christmas Tree in Union Square.
Well, this year, because
I'm so little still,
they decided not to go.
But Daddy couldn't resist going
to see the tree a week later.
So here I am with Mommy in front of
the tree and doesn't it look
great all lit up like that??
Pretty!!!

Ready for Santa...

I'm all ready for Santa!!! Our tree is up...
but I didn't help. I took a great nap and
Mommy and Daddy did all the work. :)
I think it looks pretty good, and it sure
is big compared to me. The "leaves" are
kind of pokey, so I don't think I'll touch
them anymore, but that ribbon sure
looks inviting...hehehe.

Starting the Season...

With cutting down our family Christmas tree. We drove and drove and drove way up in the mountains and went to the Norquist's house and cut down our tree. It was chilly cold, and that's why I look like a bear again. We cut our tree and then took some pictures...I liked looking at Sammy more than anything else, so this was the best picture. We spent the rest of the day with Nanna and Grandpa at their house decorating...well...they decorated and I slept. Everyone seemed to think I would attack the tree in their house...but I don't much care to thank you very much. I think it looks nice just as it is, so I leave it alone.
