Happy First Birthday Edythe Estelle Maxine Dean

Edythe likes scarves!

In her amazing Fuzzy Balls Apparel.

Yesterday was a fun day with swimming at the YMCA, hanging out with Grandmar and Gramps and opening gifts. What a big amazing year it has been. We love you Precious Cakes!!!

11 months and Counting

Miss Edythe Estelle Maxine Dean is approaching her year birthday!!

I know, it's hard to believe. It seems like just yesterday you could barely find her in our family holiday picture..and now she is a big girl!! Below you will find some shots of her on her 11 month bday. It's getting harder and harder to take good pics because someone won't stay still!


Getting dressed.

Whassup big belly?? LOVE it.

Happy girl!


What do you mean I'm not supposed to touch this???


Some monster "grrrrr's"!

E's First Halloween

It sure is hard to get pics of such a squirmy girl, but here are the best ones!
Edythe was a Moon Baby, I was The Sun, (disclaimer- my costume was Way better than these pictures let on!) and obviously GrandMar was a Witch!
We went downtown to check out the Dia De Los Muertos Celebration and cruise around.
All the peeps loooooved the Moon Baby!!

From the Homeland

...or Washer Woman as Grandpa Perry called her!

10 Months!!!!!!!!!

Another month quickly passed here at Team Dean..here are some highlights!

Grandma Connie and I hooked up Edythe's room so now she has room to play and there's no "adult junk" messing up the innocence vibe!!

Is she sick of us and ready to move on? No, just getting ready for a long trip for Fall Break!

Here we are for a quick stop at Roosevelt Lake.

Her first time in the reeever!!!


Her first art car!!


Lounging with Daddy in Bisbee.

Making beans with Mama.



Her very first restaurant! She was a champ and as you can see... the food was 2 thumbs up!!!

As promised

Some more awesome shots with friends and family.

These are all from the day, and it's just half over.. a little slice of some of our routines. Days are flying by and I realize I haven't posted since she turned 8 months. I have many more pics to post of our recent travels.. will do that soon. Love to all!

8 Months Old!

Seven months proved to be a huge milestone. Sleeping through the night, two teeth and lots more talking and just this week clapping! Matthew started back at school and I have been busy with art stuff and mainly Miss Edythe. Let's see what her 8th month on the planet will bring us.

Taking a Walk
