High Chair Time

We have started to try and have family dinner at the table all together when we are able. Andy's sister Karen was so nice to loan us a High chair. Angie plays with toys while we eat. I wanted Angie to get used to sitting in the high chair to prepare her for when she will be able to eat mush. Angie now sits in the high chair while I eat breakfast and lunch. She is getting big so fast!

Thankful for Family

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my Dad's home. Present were Angie and Angie's Grandpa Bob, Grandma Kris, Aunt Darby, Uncle Cameron, Mommy, Daddy and Cousin Joseph. Great food and great spending time together.

Grandpa Bob taught Angie how to play the Piano.....

and the Guitar.

She actually got all 10 fingers in her mouth. I am sure she has been dreaming of and practicing for this moment.

Picture of everyone except Cousin Joseph.

Three Month Portraits

We got Angie's three month portraits done today. She was in a funny mood. She wanted to put everything in her mouth. She was also constipated, which is why I think it was so difficult to get her to smile. She finally did smile when the photographer spoke Spanish to her. Go figure. I still think she is the cutest ever smile or no smile.

Angie Learning Spanish

Today we tried sitting Ange in her little Bumbo chair. Her Aunt Darby was talking to her in spanish and she thought it was the funniest thing. Watch the video and you can hear her sweet laughs. Love it!!

Elisa Visits

My cousin Elisa is in the country visiting from Japan. We went out to dinner at a Thai place and had a wonderful time visiting. Pictured are Darby, Angie, Elisa, Daddo, Megan and Andy.

Taking turns napping with Angie

With Andy having surgery Aunt Darby has come to help out. Grandma Kathy thankfully also came to help last week. Every day I took a shower I would come out to someone taking a nap with Angie. So cute I had to take a picture.

Adrian and Emily's Baby Shower

On Saturday Angie made sure Andy was medicated and put him down for a nap. (Andy had tonsil/throat surgery on Thursday. ) Then Angie and I went to the baby shower for our friends Adrian and Emily who moved to Washington but are here visiting. They are having a baby girl and we are so excited for them.

Angie Holds Her Bottle

Angie has started helping hold her night time bottle. She is learning how to do things so fast.

Two Month Portraits

We finally got the two month portraits. So cute. It is almost time already to get her three month pictures done.

Angie Rolls

Angie is getting better at trying to roll. She cannot roll over all the way but she loves getting onto her side. We put her to bed on her back and came back in later to see her sleeping on her side.

AZ Sunday Saying Goodbye

Andy, Megan and Angie with Angie's cousins Kaylee, Renee and Ryan. How many kids did you say you wanted Andy?

I got to read the twins a story.

Here we are with Andy's sister Karen and her family. One kid for each lap.

Here we are with Andy's brother Brian and his family.

Mom, Kendra, Andy, Angie and I drove David to the hotel where he was to stay the night and be taken to the Air Force in the morning. Everyone was crying except for Angie.

We took David out to lunch and they were nice enough to give us a free slice of Motherload Cake because of David joining the Air Force.

David also ordered the Motherload Sandwich for lunch.

Yes he did finish it all if you were wondering.

Zoey read this whole book that Brian had written. Great job Zoey!

AZ Saturday David's Fairwell Party

Andy's brother David joined the Air Force and enlists on November 9,2008. Andy's mom threw him a farewell party. It was a great excuse to get together as a family and introduce Angela to family that she had not met yet. All of Andy's siblings were there except for Steve and his family.

Angie got to meet Great Grandpa Donald and Great Grandma Nita.

Everyone enjoyed eating cake!

Angie also got to meet Great Grandpa Ray and Great Grandma Maureen.

Four Generations.

We surprised David by flying his girlfriend Becca out for the party from CA.

What a beautiful cake.

David and Becca. So cute together.

Becca is great with kids. I think I might have a local babysitter for Angie. Yeah!

Zoey and Ryan attack Uncle David.

We were very happy to see Great Grandma Maureen who just had surgery for breast cancer four days ago. Thankfully our prayers were answered and she is doing well. We know she is doing well because the first thing she thought of when she woke up from the surgery is "Great I am alive, now I can finish that quilt".

AZ Trip Saturday Ryan's Birthday Party

On Saturday we were able to attend our nephew Ryan's Birthday Party. It was pirate themed. We were very grateful they decided to have it on the weekend we were there.

Grandma Kathy found some pirate dog costumes on clearance from Halloween for 99 cents. The twins wore the body suits but would not keep the hats on. The hat was perfect size for Angie and she is not yet coordinated enough to take it off so it stayed on the whole party. Such a cute pirate.

I love my little pirate.

Revenge on the Dread Pirate Roberts (AKA Pirate Bob or Andy) for stealing all the loot.

The kids loved listening to the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Seriously Andy did a great job.
