Angie starts to use Sign Language to Communicate

For the first time Angie's hair did a natural curl when I put it up in a pony tail today. We thought it was super cute! Her hair has started to grow so fast.

Angie seems to be learning new things every day. She has started to do sign language for all done. She does this when she is done eating or all done on the potty. It isn't perfect but it is super cute and we are happy that she is trying to politely communicate instead of whining.

Computer Wiz

Angie has taken quite an interest in computers. Her favorite game is Sesame Street Peek A Boo. She also loves to watch videos of herself and other children.

Apparently another interest of her is to mess up whatever Mom or Dad are doing on their computer. She has somehow inverted my screen with key strokes. This took me quite a while to figure out how to fix.

We have ordered a children's keyboard with only letters and numbers on it of her very own to arrive the end of this week. Hopefully this will make things easier on Mom and Dad.

Wheels

For the first time today Angie cooperated by putting her feet up on the trike so I can push her around. She had lots of fun doing it :)

When we were visiting cousins Angie had a great time pushing their play strollers and shopping carts. So when I was at Target and saw one on sale I had to get it. She likes pushing the stroller but needs a little work on her mothering skills because she likes to dump the doll out on the floor and then take off with the stroller.

Pink Flames

Going to the doctor and getting antibiotics for an ear infection does not stop this cute little girl. She went with her daddy to get a bike helmet so she can ride in the bike trailer and go on adventures with her daddy. Thanks to Aunt Karen for loaning us the bike trailer.

I think her biker nickname should be Pink Flames.

How we are feeling

This picture describes how we have been feeling. We have been fighting a cold or flu this week. Angie was so cute sleeping like this we had to take a picture. This is also Angie's 13 month old birthday. Sweet dreams my precious sleeping Angel.

Princess Party!

Ryan was a jester to help greet all the Princesses Her Royal Highness,

Princess Abbie's 3rd Birthday Party.

Kaylee giving Birthday Girl Abbie a hug.

Abbie shares her crown with her BFF Ella. These two were seriously so sweet together. One time Abbie was upset because she did not have a chair to sit so Ella gave up her chair for Abbie without even being asked. I love to see kids do acts of kindness without being asked by an adult to do so!

Ryan is trying to earn some extra money being a cabby.

Princess Kaylee and Princess Renee.

Now the twins take over for their brother and try and earn some extra dough.

At a Princess Party the boys have to stick together.

Are those princesses or clowns in that car?

I knew it wouldn't be long before she was driving. Time just goes by way to fast!

Happy Birthday to You!

Then Princess Belle arrived.

Here the kids are watching as she blows some magic bubbles.

It is not her party but Princess Angie will cry if she wants to.

All the Princesses and one brave Prince.

After the party Angie had some more fun playing with her cousins and all of their toys.

Everyone also enjoyed the Uncle Andy ride. It was a very fun time visiting with family. We are so glad that we went!

Driving out to AZ

Since we have started driving out to AZ to visit family I have always wanted to stop and see the dinosaurs. Now that Angie needs to get wiggles out we decided to stop there.

Princess Angie.

Watch out Angie I am not sure he is as tame as he was in Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

Grandpa's New Phone

Happy Labor Day!

Angie wishes you a Happy Labor Day!

Beach Club

For Angie any day at the beach club is a good day. I put Andy in charge of putting the sunblock on Angie and this is what we got.

I do say that this hair style does make her hair look longer.

We met up with our friend Logan and his dad William.

Here is Andy trying to keep Angie from diving under. Later our friends from church showed up with their kids. We all had a very good time.

Angie and Logan at dinner time.

Angie that sure is a big bite!

Logan enjoyed the peas and carrots. All in all it was a very fun day!
