June 26th, 2011 - At the Clinic

Cousin Robby Palmerin came up to Utah for a visit, and it was fun to see him and Addison at Una's house. Then we headed back to town and spent time with Daddy at the clinic.

Checking the garden, some peas were ready to pick! Yummy!

Such a pretty girl!

Checking on the horses in their stalls.

Phoebe. I love the picture on the left because it looks like she's laughing :)

Helping Daddy shoe Roanie. :) She loves to watch and jumps at the chance to help. She's really good about staying out of the way.

June 16, 2011 - Watermelon

O lovely watermelon! How we love the fact that it marks that summer has arrived and we're ready to enjoy your delisiousness while catching the warmth of the sun!

Doesn't she show how much she's enjoying it?! Yummy!!

Happy Birthday Charlize!

Happy Birthday to our little sweetheart!

Yes, that is an orange hat - your Dad picked it out not because Halloween was close by, but because the deer hunt was going on. :)1 month

Happy 1st Birthday!

This past year has gone by so fast watching you learn and grow!

We have enjoyed watching your little (or rather big) personality come through - your laughs, your smiles, your scouls, your smirks, your discoveries and abilities.

You are such an animal lover and would be on a horse all the time if you could! You can sign horse and dog, along with milk, food/eat, and more. It sounds like you say 'dada' for almost everything, but we know that you make the sounds for horse, dog, thank you and every once in a while, mama. :)

10 Months Old

O bebe! You're 10 months old already?!?! It's amazing how time used to pass with out much notice (until I was pregnant and at times seemed to crawl) but now it passes so quickly without much notice it's another month passed and you've changed so much! We try to capture every little experience with you because we know tomorrow will bring something new.

You and Addison are seemingly closer now that you're bigger. You two are so cute together!

Thank you for letting me take your pictures. You used to turn away or simply stare at me, but now you smile and look for me to pop out from behind.

You appreciate the small things. Details, small items, new textures are all of intrest and you can't wait to find more. You still do your light patting and have a very light touch when being 'soft'.

You are so very happy! Content and peaceful. It is such a delight to be around you, to love you, to hold you, and watch you grow. I know Dad told you that when you have 8 teeth you could have steak, but I don't think he realized you'd have 6 so soon (and more on the way). Thanks for saying "mama" for me! We love to hear you say: da-da, be-be, na-na, your cute little squeals, attempts to say 'jump' and sounds for 'this much' when we ask you how much you love someone (with arms in the air).

You started crawling at the end of June and are now standing up to balance on your own. We don't think you'll keep from walking for too much longer.

The doctor's office got a little off on appointments and you're scheduled for one on Monday. We will see how much you weigh and how tall you've gotten. :)

We love you so much!
