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!!!

Driving to Joies Birthday Dinner...

We had just as much fun driving to Joies Birthday Dinner as we had at the actual dinner. Dani thought that we were all crazy. On the way into Boise, Joie and I stopped to the Homecoming Game to sing the National Anthum. It was really good. It was raining and we were standing in a box so there was no pictures.

I never knew how much of a nut Joie was until this night.

And Jenna just plays along with the nuttiness.

See!!!

Nutty Girls!!!

Again, Nutty!

But can be so ADORABLE!!!

The Walker Sisters!!!

Crazy Joie!!!

Crazy Joie!!!! AGAIN!!!!

Horseshoe Bend High Homecoming Parade...

Jenna looks thrilled to be here but we had a lot of fun. The high school has a parade consisting of a float for each class, Senior, Junior, Sophamore, Freshman, and the two fire trucks in Horseshoe Bend. A couple of Police Cars and a Couple of the students cars. The principal and a few students ride their horses. They all throw candy and the whole town lines the street. It is a bunch of fun to watch the high schoolers enjoy themselves.

Gettin' Ready to Start!

The Town linning up on the street. The Highway Patrol stops traffic on the only road through the mountian range for this 2 minute parade. It is great!!!

Here is the Volleyball teams float. Joie was front and Center.

Joie VolleyBall Game...

Joie is a GREAT Volleyball player. It was so much fun to watch her and her team. It was a really close game and we all enjoyed it. Even Dani enjoyed watching the ball go back and forth over the net. Great news...Joie and her team are District Champs.

Good Job Joie!!!!!
