Daddy's hat

I love my daddy's hat.  Mommy says I'm cute!!

ME!! Just me... not her!

That's Mr. Dude to you!

Here I am doing my very first carrot tasting, it may not taste as good as wine, but it's still sweet!

Here I am snuggling my mommy with my toys all to myself.  See my Little Lamb?  It's really soft and cuddly and white... well, that is until I spit up all over it one day and now it's more soft, cuddly and not so white, but that's okay... I still love it!

Ah... yes, the night I was told to get out of the candy dish.  They all thought I was trying to sneak some candy, but really I was trying to give myself to some trick or treaters.  The plan was foiled!  Oh well, I 'll try again next year I guess.

Isn't this a nice picture of me?  I really like my smile in this one... very innocent and sweet!  They eat it up every time.  I get away with murder!

MEET RETORT

This is my mom's tortoise.  She has had this little guy for the better part of her life and so far, all of her children's and grand children's.  This is the first time Shannon has ever seen him.  She loves turtles and tortoises so I thought she would really enjoy him very much.  She got to pet him and to feed him, she could not have been more excited!

Fresno Fair

Can you say "CORN DOG"?

This was her first time at the fair.  She got to milk a fake cow, pet a fake horse and stuff a scare crow in the Children's Touch and Work Shop.  She had a blast! 

THE BEACH SCEENE

I love a day at the beach,  however, this particular day I multi tasked like crazy!!  Multi-what?  Multi tasked... I carried a very heavy baby in a front pack for a very long period of time, I took still photos of the little urchin in the sand and feeding the birds, I also at the exact same time was videotaping her as well, that's right... both hands at once.  Then we walked the waterside researching every bubble and collecting almost every shell.  Never fear... I wasn't tired at all, what mother can ever afford to be tired?  It was a GOOD day!!

LITTLE PICASSO!!

After we went to my cousins Baby Shower, we were going to the beach and Shannon was assigned the duty of drawing mommy a picture while she waited.  When she was done and needed another paper, I looked at this one and WOW!!  She's a little Picasso!  Of course, I saved it and brought it home to put in her scrapbook for later.  Yeah, that's right, I to have a project that never gets done... but, somehow the items to put in it keep growing out of control!  Can't imagine why I don't have much time.  I'm actually taking precious time right now to update a little on my blog... for those of you who gently reminding me that I still look preggers!  On my blog that is.

Just a few.

Here is my cousin, Sarah.  This is her baby shower over on the beautiful coast!

Here's Aunt Arlene and cousin Danni holding Shannon, sorry if I didn't spell that right... I usually just call her...  something cute, but I won't post it because it's just between us.

My cousin Jennifer showing off her face talents... cute huh?  She'll be wanting to kill me when she sees these on my site.  I love you Fer Fer!!!!

Here is my sweet cousin Denise who is trying desperately trying to keep Shannon at bay from the present opening.  Poor Sarah kept getting unwanted help shall we call it.  Of course, who could blame her... she was all hopped up on the Kiddie'crack, aka 'cake'!!

Here's Gayle with little Ty.

Little Boy?  Not for long!

This is Shannon's baby... 'Baby Maggie'.  Looks like Tyler and his twin sister.  Well, almost.

I have no idea what Tyler was thinking about... I'm just glad it made him smile.  

Hmmm... I'm noticing a trend here.  Now everyone can see why I bought such a great big 'Rocking' chair, it has to support the whole family sometimes.  Although that would imply that Shane climbs into my lap for a nap... and that is sooooo not happening!  I don't have enough room.
