I'M ONE!!!

My first birthday was really special! Mom took the day off of work for a little "Mom & Me" time. We went up to Peoria to get our pictures taken.
Later that night, we had a HUGE birthday party with LOTS of people in attendance. Even my Grandma drove up from Missouri! I'm a little bummed though, because several of the people that mean a lot to my mom & dad (and me too!) didn't receive their invitations...so they didn't make it to the shindig out at Gramp & Gram's farm. So, for those of you who couldn't make it, here are some pictures to enjoy!

As always, click on the pictures to enlarge for better viewing!
























A video from my birthday party!

Wisconsin 2008

Summer vacation was GREAT! I love Wisconsin just as much as the rest of the family! And this trip was really special because I got to meet a bunch of Dad's cousins - and my cousin Boyd is about my age. I can't wait for next July because more people are going! And I'll have Auggie to play with! And I'll probably get to see Boyd again too!

Picture of Boyd and then a picture of both of us playing in the cabin.


In front of our cabin ~ first time playing with chalk (I tried to eat it!!)


Here I am on Steve & Rae's pontoon!

Me & Dad eating Cheeze-Itz (as usual)


Me walking and clapping (looks like I have only 1 arm!)


I pretty much started walking in Wisconsin at not quite 11 months old!

9 Month Pics

Here are some of Shelby's 9 month pictures. (click on pictures to enlarge for viewing)

6 months old!

I can't believe Shelby is 6 months old already!!! To celebrate her "1/2 birthday", Grandma Geri and Aunt Kendra took Shelby in for pictures. Here are a few of my favorites. I can't even begin to tell you how hard it was to choose which pictures to actually buy because we had to choose between 79 different pictures!!! Luckily, we bought enough of the poses to get the entire collection on cd for free.

The feather pictures are so cute and Shelby had a ball with the feathers!!! She was all giggles and waved her arms like crazy!
