Saying goodbye to friends

These are our friends Andrew and Johanna who came by to visit right before we moved. Mama says that Johanna caught the bouquet at their wedding and it must have worked cause after years of waiting patiently Andrew finally asked Johanna to marry him. Mama said it wasn't cause he didn't love her. He's just another cheap accountant like Daddy.




Oklahoma Trip

First things first, I have to apologize. All of these pictures are out of order.
The first week of September I flew out to Oak city, or Oklahoma City, to visit my Great Grandparents Cliff and Ruth and my Grandpa David.
It was a great time and I wanted to make sure I got everything so I stopped paying attention to the order. Sorry guys.
For starters this is our pseudo family member Helen. Mama jokes and says she is Great Grandpa Cliff's second wife. She lives down the street and has been very close to my Great Grandparents for years and years. She broke away from her crossword puzzles long enough to visit with me.
This is me with my Grandpa David. We had so much fun. This is a picture of him bouncing me on his belly. I thought this was hilarious.
This is a picture of me snoozing on the plane. I slept the whole way there and almost the whole way back. Mama was so proud of me.
This is my Great Grandma Ruth. She is 92 years old and still kicking.
This is another pic of me with my Grandpa. We played and played and played. He said I was the entertainment.
Mama thinks this picture is so funny cause it showed off my hairdo. Try as she might, she could not get my hair to go down. All that humidity just got to me. Grandpa said I looked like Lil from Rugrats.
This is another picture of me with my Great Grandma Ruth. I liked looking at her glasses and watching the lights shine on them.

This is my other Grandpa Kyle whom yall have already met. He got to work my first flight and give me my first wings from Southwest Airlines. All the flight attendants oohed and aahed and told jokes about Grandpa to mama and I.

Yet another picture of my Grandpa David oohing over me. Just another adult I got wrapped around my fingers.
This is my Great Grandpa Cliff who is 90 years old. He spanked my bottom just like he used to spank mama's when she was little. But I forgave him since they didn't hurt. All in all it was a great time.

Winding down at the end of a long night

After night swimming, Kari helped me get rinsed off and into some new clean clothes.
This is me winding down with my great grandpa or Richard the Great as he prefers to be called.
We posed for some pix too.
They thought I was just standing to be cute, but really
I was trying to get some of Marianne's ice cream. Yum!
and of course Aunt Kari can't go to bed till she's got some snuggling time in. So I obliged her.

Night Swimming

After the Podany bash it was back to Grandma and Grandpa's for some night swimming!
Grandpa explained to me that I didnt' need to be afraid that it was dark cause he was going to be there. Phew!
Mama twirled me
and twirled me
Even Auntie Kari got in on the fun

Grandpa showed me the back stroke
Okay this is out of order

There goes mama always showin off my behind, I guess better mine then hers
And here is the whole night swimmin crew. Good times!

The Grandma Show

Before we start the Grandma show I wanted to put this pic of me and my Auntie Kaci. To show that someone other than mama and Grandma held me. These pics are from Eric Podany's going away party. He went to Germany for school. I don't know where that is but I know mom and dad had been there and they are both very jealous. Whatever that means... Here starts the Grandma Show!!!
Oh yeah, and Lillie and Kristie were there too. Lillie was so funny. She kept trying to get to people's toes and was moving all over the place. One day I'll be keepin' pace with her till then back to the Grandma show...


Mommy snuck in a cuddle too. It helps that she feeds me, Grandma can't argue with that!

And everyone please make sure to notice Grandpa in the background. Gross!!!




Apologies

I am sorry that I am so behind on blogging. Mommy and Daddy keep dragging me here and there and taking pictures but between naps and outings I really haven't had time to blog. So slowly but surely I will get caught up. You won't believe how much I've grown. Stay tuned...

Trip to Tucson

This post is all about my trip to Tucson to visit Daddy!
I love my mama very much and enjoyed our time together but I missed Dad alot.
I was so excited to see him that I didn't mind that I was woken up from my nap.
We watched the baseball game on his awesome television.
Mama and I had been feeling bad for him since he was all alone,
but once we saw the room we felt no pity!
It was like a studio apartment. Mama said she wanted to move in.
Breakfast ready for her every morning, someone else making beds and washing towels.
Luxury she called it.
Daddy told me all about his work days and how much he missed me.

Even mama and I found time to chit chat on the big bed.

Then I played with all the pillows. It was fun pretending I can sit up on my own.

We went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant and then mama
scrubbed my bottom in the big girl bath tub!


The next morning Dad went back to work and Mama and I went to visit
Auntie Dovie.


She made funny faces and I just smiled and cooed.

Carson was there and Donna.

Carson just loved hugging on me, kissing on me and tickling me.
He kept saying "He's so cute!"
They told him I was a girl but he just would smile and say it over again.
Boys!


Then later when Carson's mom Shana got off work,
we went to Donna's house to visit her.


Then I got some more attention.

Mama just had to include this picture of Carson and his Grandma Donna dressed alike.
They swore it wasn't on purpose but we all wondered.
Regardless they looked cute as can be
Then Dovie and Mama swung by the Dairy Queen and headed back to Auntie Dovie's
where I had my first slumber party complete with ice cream and Grey's Anatomy!

Mama ate all the ice cream but I had fun swinging the spoon around!
Thanks Dovie, Donna, Shana and Carson for the great time!
