Baby Goes Bowling

I do believe Jayney has these two guys totally wrapped around her tiny fingers! But I am nearly positive her feelings are mutual. She was an excellent little cheerleader for her guys when we went bowling recently!

 

Seattle Getaway

February is (thankfully) a bit slow around the farm. So Dusty took a break from the shop work to go to Seattle for a long weekend and we got to see some of our friends that live on the West side and some of our friends from Spokane met us in Seattle. Here are the pictures that will show you how much fun we had much better than I can tell you in words, or at least faster!

One Year/ Princess photo shoot

I don't think I can say it enough; I love having parents who are professional photographers! Here are a few pictures from our studio session taken on Jayney's actual birthday!  It was only a few days before the day of her party, but I knew we would be busy and it could prove difficult to get a picture of the tutu and onesie I made for her before it got smeared with cake. So we HAD TO do a few in that outfit for posterity sake as well! Thanks again Mom and Dad!

Apparently, not ready for her close up. Yikes!

That is more like it!

I AM ONE!

A Note to Sweet JJ

How is it possible that you are one!? It seems like it was just a few months ago we found out you were going to join our family. I can't believe that it was more than just a few weeks ago since you were a squishy pinky bundle of newborn joy. Wasn't it just a moment ago you were learning to laugh and sit up on your own? I am fairly sure I only took a breath and then you quickly learned to crawl and walk. Now here you are your own little miniature sized person, with attitude to spare and a smile that makes the sun shine. And in just the blink of an eye, you are turning one! I will love you forever Jayney Joy and my baby you will always be!

Jayney Goes Fast... and likes it!

A few days before Christmas we had a pretty good snow and the weather following was not terribly blizzard like. So it seemed like a perfect opportunity to take our little snow princess sledding! Since she is still so little (or so we like to try and tell ourselves) I figured she wouldn't really like sledding much this year. Boy, was I wrong! The girl was absolutely crazy about it! When we would slide down the small hill she would grin from ear to ear, giggle, and flap her arms as fast as she could. It didn't take her long to figure out that the fun started at the top of the hill. While we carried her back up to the top of the slope she would squeal excitedly and babble wildly as we got situated to go down again. It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen her do in her whole ten months!
