Family Affair and some BIG NEWS!

Layla had some photos taken by her Meme...

We posed her with her Mommy,

We posed her by herself,

We posed her with her Daddy,

and then with her Mommy and her Daddy!

She was a little love throughout the photo shoot!

She really, really, really, and I mean REALLY

wanted the popsicle Meme was holding!

See her lick her lips?

It was a fun time!

BIG NEWS~

Melissa and Jason had their baby...

A BOY!

Welcome little Wyatt Madden to the world!

Mommy and baby are doing great~

Nonna Roxi is thrilled!

And just take a look at the big brother, Levi...

He looks pretty happy about Wyatt too!

Much love to my friend Roxi~

She is seeing STARS right now!

On the night that you were born...

Layla loves the book

On The Night You Were Born~

(Nancy Tillman)

"on the night you were born

 you brought wonder and magic to the world."

"On the night you were born, the moon shone with such wonder that the stars peeked in to see you and the night wind whispered, 'Life will never be the same.' ...

I wrote her name on each page when I got her this book

so that when we read it we say her name over and over again!

On the last page I wished her sweet dreams...

I read it to her every day.

She will never have to "wonder who loves her... How much, or How far"~

because she will know it's her Meme who loves her up to God!

Life will NEVER be the same for me 

with this little gem in my world!

What a joy she is to me~

Meme will follow her where ever she goes...

She is my Laylabug~

A little time for crafting and reading!

Miss Layla got a new purse...

she is all about it!

Tegan and Kelley got "crafty" with all the

corks they have been collecting and saving!

Their project turned out so nice!

They found the perfect spot on the wall!

How sweet is this...

This girl is so entertaining!

She is talking up a storm and

we are all constantly amazed at things she says!

She loves reading...

Here's a favorite!

Her little white bible she got from Dramma's house.

She mumbles and mumbles, jibber-jab, then says

"THE END"

I love this girl from her head

to her toes...

wearing Sarah Rose's little white shoes!

I love seeing Tegan enjoying his Big Green

with the mountains behind him!

All is well~

Weather here is keeping us inside- 98 degrees-

but we are having so much fun together!

I called you on the telephone...

ring a ring a ring...

you weren't at home!

Hello?

Is any body there?

Layla says "Hi~ what's up?"

Shopping!

I did some shopping for my Layla's upcoming birthday!

She will be 2 years old on October 12th~

not too sure I will be back in Colorado in October.

She loves pushing her cart around the house,

leaving little grocery items here and there!

I could just eat her up!

What a BALL!

Uncle Danny at one end of the hall...

Daddy at the other end,

Layla is the pickle in the middle!

Trying her best to "catch" those balls!

Time out to fix my stickers!

"Got it"

"I am plum wore out!"

I love my Daddy and Uncle Danny!

Uncle Danny is here!

Danny drove from Breckenridge to see us all!

Layla is quite smitten with him!

And he is smitten with her too!

Birthday celebrations this weekend for Kelley and Tegan!
