They're finally here!! Thx Stephen

Our brother in law, Stephen took family pictures of us while he was down visiting in July. We just got them back from him and we are so happy. These are our first family pictures, everyone included {can't forget Daisy}. Thanks so much Stephen! We'll get some mailed out asap to those expecting.

My sister's YUMMY Banana Bread Recipe

Sorry about the quality I am in a hurry. Hope you can all read it, if not let me know I'll get it to you. Enjoy!!

Feel the BUrN

Laralee discovered Ryan's workout wheel and figured out how to use it. She had all sorts of fun with it this afternoon. I loved it cuz' it kept her busy while I cleaned. Who knew a 1 yr. old could take so much time and energy. I need a nap!!!

Workin' her gluts

She went back....

and forth all afternoon.

Whoa, crash!

whew! What a workout!

New Tricks

Laralee has just learned to sign "more" while she is eating. It took some crying and screaming but she's figured it out. Yeah!!

Also tonight I gave her a fork and spoon to play with, she tried to pick-up Cheerios first but that was a little hard....so I had made some YUMMY banana bread earlier so we tried that next.

It took a couple tries but she finally stabbed a piece.

I was so proud and she was so happy. A new trick to do over and over!!

**I'll post the recipe for the banana bread. It's from my sister and is awesome. She would make it while I was out there and it wouldn't last two days. SO GOOOOOD!!

Nap Time

The other day Laralee decided she was tired, so she grabbed her blanket and pacifier and headed for the dog's bed. I guess she sees Daisy sleeping there so it must be comfy.
