Happy 1st birthday, Hannah!

Well Hannah's birthday was on April 27th.  Paris took over 300 pictures and so it took some time to go through all the pictures to see which ones I wanted to post.  I thought by doing the small format that I could get more pictures on, but it doesn't seem to work that way, so if you want to see a larger version of the picture, just click on it and it will enlarge to full screen.

We had a great time out at the ranch.  We had great food, fun scavenger hunt followed by cupcakes for Hannah's birthday cake and then we went to ride  Uncle Dick's horses.  It was really fun!

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

It's a about a month late, but Happy Birthday!  The pictures were uploaded until a couple weeks after his birthday so I do have a small excuse.  My sweetheart turned 34 years old!  As you can see, I didn't have any regular birthday candles, so I had to use some baby birthday candles. 

It's been a long road, but little by little we are coming together and working at our marriage and family day by day. I couldn't do it without you and even though I get grouchy at you, I appreciate all that you do for this family and for us to live in our wonderful apartment.  We complain about this and that, but I am truly grateful for all that I have and your are so dear to me.  I love you!  Now on to the birthday celebration pictures
For Paris's birthday dinner, we went out to eat at Nation's. It a hamburger joint here in Alameda, among other places.  Hannah wanted to get a taste of my burger, so here she is having a bite. In the past we have celebrated with my family or his, but this year, he just wanted it to be the 3 of us.  His birthday pie is a Nation's special, Pecan, his favorite.

Here are your 2 beloveds.  We love you more than words can say!

Here we are, in all our glory

Daddy likes to read to his little skunkeret.  That's one of his nicknames for her.

The adventures of Hannah

Now that Hannah is crawling she is getting into everything. Well I went to do laundry and decided to put her in the laundry bin because holding her and the laundry bin at the same time is harder to do. Well when I got to the laundry room I didn't want to put her on the floor- way to dirty, so I started stuffing laundry all around her.  IT was so cute I had to get a few pictures  of it. 

Here she is starting to take the laundry out for me.

She ended up taking out all the clothes she could get out. It was pretty funny!

Hannah is doing so good  eating on her own. She does best with yogurt and refried beans.  She likes to practice scooping the food and then putting it in her mouth- Just like mom does.

Mmm-Mmm good

Hannah likes Eskimo kisses

lots of kisses

She also likes kisses on the mouth because she sees mom & dad kiss so she wants to do the same thing.

Puts your hands up!

She loves to drink from the cup herself.  I don't put too much water in because it gets all over, but then she drinks it all up and tries to get every last drop.  So, by that time the cup is pressed to her face.

Out big girl likes to sit on chairs and our foot stool. SHe is getting so big.
