One loves the Christmas tree

All of a sudden, she has the lights wrapped around her whole body . I decided that wasn't safe:)

Helping hand me the ornaments

Many an evening has been spent with her pointing and speaking baby talk to the ornaments.....

she loves, loves, loves the tree.

Halloween 2012

Our little "Cat in the Hat"

 Steamboat blocks off main street & the store owners pass out goodies. From french fries to pop rocks, the place was hopping. Several of the stores were converted into haunted houses. Keith forgot the camera, so these are from his phone (not the greatest).

Mr Racecar Driver

She danced and danced to the live music. People were taking pictures of Miss Kitty. It was funny seeing her shake her big ole cat booty.

The article titled "Pets and Dating" (seriously, that is what is on the right side of his paper) was extremely insightful.

I Can't Get My Party Hat on

This was on her actual birthday, Sept 17th

                                                                                 Pulling on her hat. Eventually, the string popped and there were tears shed

                                                

This doesn't work because I can't see........

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall

As we welcome the cool nights & vibrant colors, here is a tribute to our summer days......

Notice the brussel sprout plants in the background. They are larger than me and not a single brussel sprout. Oh well, guess I will learn to like the stalks.............

Cloth diapers drying super fast

Hiking on my mommy's back

Grandbee & Uncle Frankie

I'm trying to play catch up from all of our summer fun. These pictures are from Grandbee's visit the first few weeks of July (Uncle Frank joined in too!) Prior to this, Grandbee, Aunt Anne, Iris and myself took a trip to Bozeman. I didn't bring my camera on the trip and am patiently waiting for those pictures to post! As you can see, Iris loves her Grandbee and is looking forward to her visit next month.
