GREAT NEWS UPDATE!!!

Well I have some very, very, very good news!

We're going to have Baby #2!

We took this test and I will be heading off to the doctor in a couple weeks.

Due date should be in March sometime,

Yea Momma is excited!!!

Fun with my train, until....

This is one of many toys that Hadrien received for his birthday...it's an alphabet train that he has recently learned to ride & climb all over...

This particular night Hadrien's Nino was over visiting &

he happened to laugh VERY very loudly...it scared the pants off of baby boy & mommy couldn't help but snap a picture before his Nino picked him up & comforted him. (Mean mom!)

Popie's 70th Birthday

May 29, 2009 - The family got together at Rustler's Rooste for Popie's 70th birthday! John Jr., Jeremiah & I (grandkids) all made it as well as Hadrien & Stormie (great-grandkids)!

Popie had a great time as did we all. He wasn't afraid to show off his dance moves either as he asked not only all of his girls (Kathy, Teri, Susan & Geri...Jessica...Melissa, Shannon & Nana Jewell), but even a lady from the table behind us out onto the dance floor!

Here's Miss Stormie (10 months old on June 7th)

Mr. Hadrien Thomas (16 months) reachin' for the camera.

How bout this cute little had that doubles as the kids menu on the back! He'd only keep it on for a second (at least we caught the pic!)

My First Birthday Party!

I'M A BIG BOY NOW!!!

I was surrounded by almost all of my family and I didn't reach for the flame as they sang Happy Birthday, granny Kathy bought me the sweetest cake and mommy put a big ole number 1 on it just for me!

I didn't really want to eat the cake although my cousin Stormie was all about it...

I did try a bite that mom fed me...

...

What I really liked was the tortilla chips with 7-layer dip that daddy gave me...MMMmmm

By the end of the night I had so many toys I didn't know what to play with so I resorted back to the Christmas present that my Nana and Tata gave me...

The last thing I could do before we all collapsed and went to sleep was to sit with my Nana nana and eat one last bottle....whooooo....what a day...week...year....time really does fly when your having fun, growing fast and learning a lot! Thanks to all my family for giving me the best birthday yet!

First Zoo Visit

JANUARY 22, 2009...after my haircut daddy and I made sure that momma was okay without us and then we were off to the Phoenix zoo! I love looking around at all the animals and we were lucky that the rain stopped just long enough for my visit!

Daddy had to chase away this peacock because he was kinda mean, but pretty to look at...

It was fun to look over the edge trying to see which animals were up next...I don't like parrots though, they are way too noisy!

The orangutans are silly!

The last thing we did before we left was visit the gift shop and Daddy let me pick out an animal to take home with me...this baby giraffe was too cute not to bring home!!!

I had a great day, it's good to be ONE!!!

First Haircut!

JANUARY 22, 2009...I'm ONE today!!!

Thank you dada & mama for my new toys! Today I get a few first...my first birthday...my first haircut... and my first zoo visit (those pictures will be next)! Unfortunately my momma was sick with the flu so it was just me and dad, we had a LOT of fun though!!!

This is Lollilocks...haircuts just for us kids... and boy do I have a lot of hair!

Dad, what is she gonna do? And what is that sound???

Dad kept me busy by blowing bubbles in my face and pretty soon all of my hair was gone!

See how Handsome...I'm truly a little BOY now!

BRIGHT BLUE EYES!!!

ME & MY DADDY!

I'M GONNA GETCHA!

MY HOW TIME DOES FLY!!!

Well a week went by, then another and then before I knew it three months...so there's a lot to catch up on...no time just yet though, but I can say this...MY BOY IS A CLIMBER!!! Not walking yet (ALMOST) and still waiting on that first tooth to break through, but he can and does climb.... on, over and through everything!!! This is just one example. (The story goes {as I remember} I was in the kitchen doing dishes, turned around literally for one second and when I turned back around there was my little boy STANDING on the dishwasher...I had the camera nearby and snapped a few shots! TOO CUTE, so I couldn't be upset at all! :)
