Jerm's Dream...

Since Jerm was 5 years old he has been asking for the same thing for Christmas...a pony. This Christmas one of his friends offered him a free horse. I was freeking out!!!! A horse is a big deal especially when you don't even have a house. This is Canyon. He is adorable and old. Twelve years old to be exact. He is just a calm lazy trail horse. We all love him.

• Jerm loves him the mostest!!!! He was a wise man and decided that one new addition to the family was enough. (What with us expecting another little person in eight months.) We have promised to get a horse later on in life. After all the other things in life have fallen into place.
  
  

  Danilynn loved the horses. She wanted to be as close to them as she could.

Our Christmas Decorations...

I don't know if any of you truely know my husband, but...this is all his doing. I am not big with the whole decorate so you can see it from space thing, but Jerm is. He really wanted to go bigger and brighter than this, but if I ran the dryer at night it would blow the circut and half of the house would be without power, so I had to draw the line somewhere. We would have people driving by and checking to see if we had added anything new since the last time they checked. It was beautiful, but I felt like I was married to Clark Griswald from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

Papa's Family...

Papa Jerry only has one brother and one sister left. This is Great Aunt Barbra and Great Uncle Charlie. Great Uncle Danny (Danilynn's Name Sake and giver of the dimples.) and Great Uncle Gene have both passed away. We thought this was a great picture and Dani is so freaking cute in it. You can see her dimples shinning through.

Christmas Day...

We had so much fun on Christmas morning. For starters we found out on Christmas Eve that we were pregnant again, so we were still in a haze on Christmas Morning. Danilynn had so much fun opening up her presents. This little Monkey sleeping bag was from Papa.

Jerm got a Laptop from his mom and dad. Which I am grateful for because it is what I use to blog.

Danilynn got Whinney the Pooh figures to play with during church.

She also got a ton of new cloths. We went crazy.

There is a trademark Danilynn Face.

And Danilynn also got a fun Bouncing Zebra that sings songs.

We had a great Christmas and feel very blessed this year. Thank You to all of you who share your lives with us. WE LOVE YOU!!!

Jammies for Christmas Eve...

One of the traditions I grew up with was Pajammas for Christmas Eve. We would get matching p.j.'s and take pictures in front of the fire place with our Christmas stockings hanging behind us. Great memories that I would like to have passed down to my children. So we started it with our very first Christmas.

Danilynn decided that she wanted to help Papa unload the dishwasher.
The problem was that Papa was loading the dishwasher.

But they enjoyed their time together and Dani loves spending time with her Papa.

This is the face that comes straight from Grandma Walker. We found proof of it in Grandpa Hales book.

Such a cute girl!!!

Sniffles McGoo...

Danilynn was diagnosed with a double ear infection. We had fun times with that. We went through more Kleenex's that worldly possible, because not only was Dani sick, so was Nana, and Daddy. Papa got a little sick, but not bad. But Dani learned very quickly what kleenexes were used for and started to hid her nose. She has gotten better with getting her nose wiped. Now she crawls up to you sniffing. That is the single that she is ready to have it taken care of.

the Christmas Dress...

We found this dress at babies are us in July. We loved it immediatly. Dani wore it every Sunday in December. She loved to be in it. You could tell that she felt pretty in the dress because she would pick up the ruffles and set them down all dainty like. She was so much fun to watch.

The bug wouldn't hold still for pictures and she figured that since we set her infront of all those beautifully wrapped presents she was free to go at them.

She is our little gift.

Chillin' in the Shopping Cart...

We frequently visit Jerm at work and Dani loves to see all the fishes and the little animals. She loves to hold the guinney pigs. I figure that she should hold them there because her daddy isn't every bringing one home for her. They are stinky things. But I had to snag a picture of her kicking back in the cart. She had both her feet up, reading a book. She is so entertaining.

Mashed Potatos...

I wish that eating was this much fun for everyone. Look at this mess. She is totally unaware of how messy she is. I LOVED IT!!!!

More importantly....she loved it too. Mashed potatos have become a favorite for all!!!

Introducing Addison...

This is little Addison...She is my new charge. I take care of her on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Both of her parents are OB/GYNs. Fun life huh? Anyway, they are both crazy busy and we love having Addison and she seams to enjoy us as well. She pulls faces that remind me of my cute cousin Heidi.

Our Referees...

Jerm and his dad have been "reffing" games together for almost 9 nine years. Last season I went to almost every single game that they refed. This year I took Dani to one game and she hated it. She didn't like the fact that her daddy and her papa would come running at her and then turn and run the other way. She cried for the whole quarter that we were there. But it is fun to see them all decked out in their uniforms.

Momma's Girl...

I am constantly amazed by the joy that such a little bundle can bring to our family. She has blessed us in so many ways. She has been a little ray of light for her daddy and me. We both feel so lucky to have been blessed with such a happy baby and amazing daughter.

Dani Laughin' at Papa Jumpin'...

We have fallen so in Love with little Dani!!! She is such a blessing!!! Her smiles and her laughter are so contagious!!! In this clip Papa was trying to get something off the ceiling and she thought that was so funny!!!!

Jail Bird...

Mommy's little Jail Bird. Isn't she cute in her little "rose" p-jays. She likes to step up on the step. She is such a little dare-devil. She doesn't like being locked up. But we needed to contain her because there is just too much stuff and Papa's and Nana's for her to play with. Plus we have a doggie door with a swimming pool on the other side of it. She needs barriers.

What is this Face?

It almost looks like Dani is crying or getting ready to, but she is actually scrunching up her nose and her eyebrows. This is a face that will haunt her the rest of her life.

Sweet Tomatos!!!!

One of my favorite places to eat is called "Sweet Tomatos". It is up in Phienox so we don't make it there very often. It is a soup and salad bar, but not just an ordinary soup and salad bar, it also has a bakery bar. Is there anything more wonderful than fresh bread with soup and salad? Dani like to have a sweet potato and jello at Sweet Tomatos. Yummy!!!

Our Girls!!!

Every night after her bath, Dani likes to roll around on the floor with Paizley. Paiz is so good with Dani. I love to watch them.

PetSmart Opens in Casa Grande!!!

We are so Excited because Jerm was transfered up to the New Casa Grande Store!!! His comute is now 10 minutes instead of 45!!! And he was promoted to Pet Care manager. All those little fishy in the background are in his care!!! Lucky Fish!!!

Sittin' in the Sink...

A couple of weeks ago, Cathy started this thing of putting Dani in the sink while she was cleaning up the kitchen. It both contained and entertained her while everyone else was busy. It has now become a nightly ritual. Dani's night isn't complete without her romp in the sink. She loves it. She sucks on the faucet and tries to drink all the water.

She is happy as a clam when she is in the water.

Happy Girls!!!!

Dani and I were sitting around and figured that we would take some pictures. So CUTE!!!!

Mashed Potatoes...

We frequent Kentucky Fried Chicken and we all love the Mashed Potatoes. Dani really loves to play in them.
I loved the hands.

Sweet Potato Smile!!!

Riding the Horse...

Because of our love of French Toast Papa and I take the Family to our Favorite French Toast Spot ... The Cracker Barrel!!!
Papa always takes Dani out into the store to see what they can find to keep themselves entertained. Dani loved the Rocking Horse.

Joie's Birthday Dinner at Chili's...

Dani Loves the Ribs...
Grandpa Loves Dani...

Grandma Loves Dani...

I love Daddy...

Joie loves the Mango Lemonade so much that when she went to take a drink from her cup she forgot there was a straw and put the straw up her nose. Perfect!!! Happy Birthday Joie!!!

We miss Grandma and Grandpa and the Aunts!!!

We Love you!!! Thanks for letting us come and stay with you!!! We look forward to doing it again soon!!!
