Cute Sun Dress

I love dressing Angie up in cute dresses for church on Sundays. Here is a very cute sun dress. Of course I think she always looks cute.

Friday Night Family Time

On Friday night my family came over. Grandpa Bob enjoyed trying to feed Angie some mush. I think he did better that I ever do. Aunt Darby and Uncle Cameron were also there to help us organize some stuff. Thanks guys!

Goodbye Irvine Hospital

Today is that last day that Irvine Hospital, where I used to work, was open. Tenet who owned the hospital decided not to renew their lease and close the hospital. I guess that they just could not stay in business without me there. Hee hee JK. Hoag Hospital has taken over the lease and will reopen after extensive renovation of the building. I have greatly enjoyed working at this hospital, with only 5 floors it had a small feel where you could get to know most everyone. I hope in the future my path will cross with some of those whom I have worked with here.

This is George and Jean with Angie. I worked with George and Jean in the Physical Therapy department. Behind you can see the beautiful view of Irvine. When I first started working there those buildings where not there and it was beautiful farm land.

This is me, Angie, Jean and Flannan. If you cannot tell by the pictures Jean was very happy to hold Angie. Because it was not a patient care day Jean was able to hold her without fear of transferring patient germs. I worked with Flannan in Case Management. He started working at the hospital when it opened it's doors and is now seeing those doors close. The hospital felt very empty. It was somewhat sad seeing this era of my life close. There were others that we wanted to see but missed them (sorry Fay, Juie and Ruth)

Angie has mastered getting things to her mouth to chew on.

This is her cute smile where she makes her lips disappear.

Sorry they were all so cute I had to choose more than one. I made this headband for her this morning. I think it is cute but don't know if it looks to big. Any comments?

After visiting with my work we had lunch with Andy. Angie loves visiting her daddy. He loves visiting her too. Here she is "helping" her daddy work.

Angie Holds Her Own Bottle

Angie held the bottle on her own for the first time tonight. She seems to learn new things daily.

Look Mommy no hands.

Sunday Dress from Grandma Kathy

Angie was just so cute in the Sunday Dress that Grandma Kathy got for her that we had to take a photo. Thanks Grandma Kathy!

Bottle from Grandpa Bob

Grandpa Bob loves to visit and tries to come by every week. It had been a couple weeks since he visited because we were out of town. He says she had grown a lot and has much better fine motor skills. He got to feed Angie her bottle while he was here. Thanks for the visit see you next week.

We love it when Aunt Darby visits

PJ time with Aunt Darby.

Aunt Darby dressed Angie so cute and included her Spam hat that her Grumpa Bill got for her at the Spam Museum.

It is a hair brushing line.

The twin's second Birthday Party

On Saturday we had a Brithday party for Kaylee and Renee's second birthday. The party was supposed to be on Friday but Karen had come down with tonsillitis and was not feeling up to it so it was postponed a day. It was wonderful to see all the family pitching together to help put the party together.

This is the cute butterfly cupcakes that Kendra made.

Kathy and Kendra decorated for the party. The theme was Noah's Ark Two by Two. Get it they are twins and they are turning two.

The Birthday girls playing with the decorations.

Kathy reading the story of Noah to the kids.

The kids helping to gather the animals into the ark.

The kids enjoyed playing on the parachute. Abbie especially enjoyed it.

Abbie playing on the parachute. She is so cute!

It is impossible to get a good picture of both twins at the same time.

Yummy food!

They love Grandma Kathy.

Abbie and Ryan were very good at helping with the candles.

Abbie enjoying a cupcake.

We actually got a picture of all of us adults.

They instinctively know what to do with a phone.

Angie actually took a two and a half hour nap and missed all but the end of the party.

New Years Day with Christmas Dinner

On New Years Day we were having Christmas Dinner. In the morning Andy went shooting with Brian. Karen was sick and sleeping from working the night shift and Joe needed to go shopping so he dropped the kids off at Grandma Kathy's. Angie was sleeping so I decided to help Kathy with making the dinner while the kids went in the backyard to play. Ryan came in and informed us that the twins had taken their shoes, socks, pants and diapers off. We went outside to see them half naked running around. The extra friction did not even slow them down from going down the slide.

Monkey see monkey do but who knows which monkey started it?

Christmas dinner with Great Grandma Maureen, Aunt Kendra and Uncle Brian.

Uncle Joe and Grandma Kathy holding the twins who had a great fall at the beginning of dinner. If you look closely you can see the huge goose egg on Kaylee's forehead (hint she is sitting on Grandma Kathy's lap). This helped us tell the twins apart for the rest of the trip.

Great Grandpa Ray and Great Grandma Maureen. All the noise from the kids did not phase them a bit. I think they have been through this a couple of times.

Here we smile for the camera while Angie eyes things on the table to grab.

Great Grandma Maureen and Great Grandpa Ray open their pictures of Angie.

Abbie, Zoey and Ryan open their pictures of Angie which says "Am I really stuck with these two?"

Ryan and Zoey were very helpful in opening all the presents.

Angie enjoying all the chew toys Grandma Kathy got for her.

Andy is ready to dive into dessert with my new spoon rest.

Zoey was so good to hold and help with Angie. She was sure she heard Angie say "Ma Ma" while no one was looking.

Cute little pumpkin Abbie.

Ryan, Kaylee and Renee were very concerned about getting a binky to Angie when she was crying.

Angie, Andy and Renee chillin'. Why does Andy have something against having Angie's headband looking normal?

Angie and Ryan chillin' before bedtime.

I love this video. It is Ryan reading Angie her little book.

Later that night Grandma Kathy watched Angie, Zoey and Abbie. So Brian, Kendra, Andy and I went to Eric & Maynhia's (Brian and Kendra's friends) home to play Rock Band. Andy was so excited that we had to stop and buy headbands for the occasion. They have a nice setup and it was very fun. We stayed up very late having a great time.
