18 Months..that's a Year and a Half, folks!!

Here's a picture of the big girl, taken moments ago with Gramps on the stairs.
All is well in the land of Team Dean..hot! And still the wind will not give it up.

Here's that ol' garden I've been yammering about..wait, what's that? Where are all the plants you say? Well, it's kindof a long story...

But look at all this beauty! Go sunflowers, go poppies..it's yer birthday!
Sorry got a little carried away there...

First blooming sunflower of the season.

Have we told you what big yarrow fans we are?
(it's true)

Just being cute...

Just arrived.. another potty chair..this one with a tray to TRAP HER IN!!! Already worked today!

Left to her own devices...!

FRIENDS!!!!!

Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!!

Seventeen Months

Well, another month has flown by and what have we got to show for it? Lots of fun and smiles, foot stomping, some fit throwing, lots of outdoor gardening work and a big surprise!

At the park with Gramps.

Finally able to wear this cutest dress of all time and the awesome red shoes from Aunt Kate!
I told her this was the only outfit she was ever gonna wear!!

At Granite Basin Lake with Gramps.

A high five for Grandmar to celebrate the officially re-opening of the Alfresco Lounge
(a.k.a. The Cakes Bar and Grill...)

E's first Dinner Bell experience..buckwheat waffle? Don't mind if I do..

A Mother's Day montage of squirmy child!!

And what's the surprise?? A new puppy!!
He's been doing great so far, although I think Edythe is viewing him a bit as competition!!

I will post some pics of the almost completed garden next time. Love to all!!!

16 Months and Four Days

As I write this someone is talking instead of napping, can you guess who it is? This same someone climbed out of the bathtub by herself this morning! Team Dean has been rocking Springtime new garden/wind/cleaning/allergies/project style and the pace does not appear to be slowing..

Edythe had her check up on Friday and all is well, the doc is impressed and we can relax until July and the next appointment.

Downtown with Gramps before going to the library, we met a very nice dog and managed to take over a t ball game all in about two minutes!



We spent a week out in Chino while Connie and Perry were out of town and Miss E. is quite the farm girl! Telling the dogs what to do, feeding the chickens and generally running wild. I showed her how to run through the sprinkler, and it was seriously some of the funniest s*** I have ever witnessed, she got the hang of it overall.

This is in Grandma and Grandpa's bedroom and we found her all tucked in like this all by herself with her new besty Bear Bear!

Dancing with Daddy and Aunt Sadie! Homegirl has got the beat!

An outing last week to Sharlot Hall and the Library.

And on her actual 16 month bday with Daddy waiting for the doctor. She is twenty pounds now, but seems to weigh more than that to Mama!!!! I have a few of these doc pics over the months, I'll have to make a waiting room montage!!

Hope all of our dear friends and readers are doing well, we love and miss you!! xoxoxo

15 Months

Well another big month for us and the Big Girl..snow one week, sunshine the next. I am currently majorly suffering from allergies, hence the post being a day late!
We went to the pool again, this time in a pink bikini! Dangit, little girls are cuuuute!!!

Nice profile shot of the belly.

Trying to take a good pic of this great dress Joy Street gave to her. So cute!

It's spring break and Matt's working hard on a fence and block beds for our soon to be garden. Edythe is loving being outside and helping.

She is walking very well now and recognizing things in books like the balloon in Good Night Moon. She is very excited about it.

The first daffodil of Spring!!

Hope all is well for everyone!!

Stuck in the bowl!!!

At the zoo in Prescott.

Guess where we are?

Edythe is just wrapping up her first cold, otherwise all is well with lots of walking and we're finally getting serious about childproofing this situation! Looking forward to spring break and working on our outdoor projects. Hope all is well in your world!!!!

Thirteen Months Old

The past month has flown by! We are all doing good and loving the sunshine and the snow dripping away!
