Hands Up...

Hands must stay up in order to keep Moo Moo on Laney's shoulder. Here are some ways that help keep him there..

A pretty smile
A finger in the ear helps for sure

Hand on the side of the face

And the best, crawling with tilted head.

Oh this child cracks me up!

Halloween

Candy time with Ginny!

Concentrating

Delicious!

Fall Fun

Yesterday we carved pumpkins with my brother and went to Patti and Reuben's church for trunk or treat! It was a busy day but we loved it! Here are a few pics from the day.

We take our carving VERY seriously!

Pucker Up

Laney's face when you ask her to give you a smooch.

Irony!

Ironic that this post comes after a post of Laney falling in a vent.

Here we go. Last Thursday night Laney fell. Fast forward to Friday at 2 pm, she now has a splint because she broke her leg!!! Poor baby! Yesterday we went to the pediatric orthopedic doctor and Laney now has a beautiful purple cast. She will have it for 4 weeks. By the Grace of God she doesn't need surgery! I am so thankful for the Lord's protection for her! Keep her in your prayers! The cast is quite big for such a little girl, although it hasn't seemed to slow her down.

Busted!

Please take note of 3 things!

1. My child is in an AC vent!

2. The air freshner was played with before she "fell" in said vent!

3. She has a smile on her face!

In the 90 seconds it took me to "take a break" aka go to the bathroom, my little weasel followed me into my room and "fell" into the vent! UGH! This child wears me out! But you know what?!? I wouldn't change it for the world. When I came out of the bathroom and found her this way I ran to get her...but then I stopped. She wasn't crying. She wasn't hurt. So I did what any normal mother would do...I GRABBED MY CAMERA!

Making Memories

Hello! Sorry for the pause in posts. All I can say is that running after a B.U.S.Y. 1 year old makes me tired! At the end of the day I just crash and therefore have been a bad blogger.

Well, our favorite fall activity has come and gone. Balloon Fiesta is over. We didn't get out to the field as much as I would have liked to but we did get out a few days. On the first Sunday, my sister, brother, sister in law, nephews, Laney and I went "Ballooning." I say "Ballooning" because we aren't much help to the crew with three babies, two strollers, and countless diaper bags. We had a great time and made some lasting memories!

The Three Amigos!

Great Grandparents

The view from the back seat

Such little Ham's

Playing in the cooler is a tradition.

Missing Daddy

Laney in her Daddy's car.

Jim isn't deployed and in harms way but that doesn't make it easier for his girls. We miss him! Just a note to say we miss the world's best daddy and can't wait to see him in a few weeks!

Moving Day Picnic

Picnic with Daddy in the front yard.

Big Girl

Before our drive to NM from Wyoming we turned Laney forward facing. This was the first time in her new seat. Yes she looks under the weather. Poor baby had a fever of 102 and was ( and still is) getting molars. She loves to look out and see what is going on, and of course play silly games with Momma while she's at stop lights of course ;)

Jims Aunt Faye

Laney LOVED Aunt Faye! She would belly laugh her heart out for her. It was so fun to watch. And after all the fun, she snuggled up in Aunt Faye's lap and had her bottle.

Chicken Little

Cousins...well their daddies are so that means we are of some sort.

During the anniversary weekend Laney got to meet some of her Okie family. Jim's cousin Jake has two boys (Laney is the only girl cousin on both sides of our families), we were excited to introduce her. They had lots of fun, and we look forward to another reunion again.

The boys wanted to make sure Jim did a good job of bathing Laney

Jim and Jake made dinner for everyone Friday night. It was delicious!

Love naked babies in a tub!

That's right folks, there are 5 people in the bathroom NOT including the kids :)

Don't worry, the dads have it under control!

60 Years!

Fourth of July weekend we went to Denver to celebrate Gran and Grandad's 60th wedding anniversary! They were surrounded with ALL of their children, gran kids and great grand kids! It was a great weekend.

Thank you for the amazing example you have been to us all!

Grandma comes to babysit

Finally posting again! Sorry for the delay, we have been BUSY! I have lots of events to catch up on so bear with me.

At the end of June Mom and Dean came up to help babysit for a few AF functions we had going on. Jim was the M.C. for the Wing Commander's Retirement Ceremony. He did GREAT! Pics to come when I get them from Public Affairs. Until then here are a few of mom and Laney getting into trouble :)

Up until a week ago Laney refused to be held or snuggled while eating. She would only let my mom. I am so glad she finally let me in on some snuggle time!
