This was months ago, but kinda funny

She needed snow boots for day care, so we ordered nothing but the best (looking that is). Poor thing, can NOT walk in the boots and here is proof.

 

 

I don't use the boots at home unless I am holding her hand. It is tough being a baby out West.

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.
