Halloween 2008

Sign Baby!

Here is a video of my baby signing "bird" and "dog." Watch carefully - bird is the hand thing and dog is her patting her lap.

"BALL"

That flower baby of mine has just become entranced by all of these orange pumpkins - tho - to her they are BALLS! She loves them! She was runninga fever the other day (just from teething)so the nursery was out - and - seriously how long can a toddler sit in church? So we walked over to the pumpkin patch and had a little bit of fun...

Blow-Out!!!

SOOOO as we were driving across the bridge Saturday afternoon, at about the top of the span, all of a sudden it felt like we ran over a horse --- "WHAT WAS THAT?" yelled my husband as he scrambles to get control of our SUV that is swerving between traffic and the SIDE OF THE BRIDGE.Thank God he regained control and my car hobbles over to the emergency lane. When we looked at the tire LITERALLY all that was left was the inner-wall there was no rubber/tread or whatever left on the outside. I was terrified - but so glad that if that happened it happened when hubby was driving and NOT me!

Anyway - after we put a new tire on the car we had a fun round of miniature golf. Flower Baby loved swatting at the balls and dropping them in the holes. Each of her tries were a hole in one. And we didn't tell her that she was cheating. Husband of course won the came by 2 points.

A Day for Pictures

Birthday Girl

So this week my Flower Baby will turn 365 days old! I can't believe time has flown so quickly. I am amazed how much they grow in a year. We had her party this past weekend at our house. We filled our house with balloons, bubbles, and dear friends and family that we are so thankful for. Our little one could not have sweeter people who care for her in her life :) we are so blessed.

The party was fun - tho it was very hot oustide. Mommy didn't cry - and daddy had lots of cupcakes. Flower Baby's favorite part was the balloons I think. I have included a picture of her with her cake. (The frosting looked really pretty at first - but it was so hot that even INSIDE the cool whip started melting before we got it to her -:)- )
