Easter 2011

We spent Easter in Santa Cruz and Adaline had her first "egg hunt." Many thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Walsh and Auntie Sara for the fun and fantastic dinner!

Travis is really liking my camera~ if I'm not careful, he's going to take all the photos from here on out!

Happy Birthday, Hayley!

My sister asked for a picnic in the park and a trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  Travis, Adaline and I didn't make it to the aquarium, but we were able to meet up with the family for lunch at this awesome park (Dennis the Menace Park). We had a blast~ Happy Birthday, Hayley!

(thanks to Hayley for this pic!)

(thanks to Travis for this darling shot and the sunglasses pics!)

And check out those teeth!  She has 8 right now and four more coming in :)

Love, Love, Love...

looking into these baby blues. I would stare at them for hours on end...if Adaline would sit still long enough for that :)  This one is constantly on the go. She's cruising all over the place and taking steps here and there.  She's up to four steps at a time, but she's so cautious she sits down before she makes much progress.  We're working on it (for all my fellow Behavior Analysts...yes, I am fading my physical prompts...) and we're slowly moving forward. Haha!!!! Did you catch that? I just made a funny :)

*update* Adaline's decided she can walk now.  She will walk clear across the room it there's something she really wants, but she still spends most of her time and energy crawling- and MAN is she a fast crawler.

Relay for Life 2011

The last time we attended Relay for Life, it was five houses down the street from us at the THS stadium. Now, it's a few more blocks away and it seems to be bigger than it use to be.  There were so many people and tents!  

 We were too late to buy a luminary bag, but I still enjoyed looking at all the other ones on display around the track.

 I loved these tents:

This little guy made me smile; he was walking around the track with his display board, hawking raffle tickets.

 These next pictures captured the feel of the event for me:

 This group of relayers were doing group exercises- after already being at the event for 9 hours!

 (Of course I had to include a picture of my favorite pair!)

Kristin~ this year's Relay for Life was the best yet!  You are amazing and I'm so thankful Turlock has you!!!

Spring Time!

Can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can go outside and play!

What am I going to do?

How am I going to teach Adaline to "do" her hair with that swirl?! 

I still haven't mastered doing my own hair... all suggestions and tips are welcome!

Big Girl

Adaline's new favorite perch is the one step at our place.

Makes her look like such a big girl but she's not...she's my baby.

Time to pull out the sandals-

Okay, it WAS time to pull out the sandals last week when I took this picture :)

Look who's wearing her first pair of Saltwaters Sandals...

Thank you Grandma Laura!

What's that old saying?

Curiosity painted the cat?

This is what happens when your black cat looks into the white paint can...

Happy Birthday, Mom!

My mom's birthday was last week and we had a great little brunch for her.  Again, I found myself without my camera (boo!) so I have no pictures to post of our enjoyable morning.  All three of the cousins had a great time playing with each other and with Birthday Girl Grandma :)
Happy Birthday, Mom!  I hope you had as much fun as we did!
