Date Night

Ryan and I finally got a night away from Hope, funny she was all we talked about. We almost forgot what if was like to enjoy a meal without taking turns entertaining her or helping her eat. Hope had a fun evening with her Grandma & Grandpa Mac and Mema & Papa. Ryan and I had dinner at the Dallas Petroleum Club it was one the best dinner we had had since we moved here great food.

Gymboree

Laundry

Hope was helping me with laundry this morning.

Big Kahuna

Hope and that smile anytime she see a camera she puts on the cheese. Hope has to have her bubble time everyday she will walk around looking for some bubu's. I had to get this outfit when I saw it because everyone that knows Ryan knows that Hope's Dad is the big kahuna

Hives

Hope's had hives for the past few days and her doctor has now idea what they are from if they continue we have to take her to an allergist. As you can see they don't seen to bug her at all.

Hope's new updo

Hope's hair is finally getting long enough for me to try new things. She could care less what I do to her hair she just wants to dance, dance, dance.

Swimming

Hope did not want to leave the pool today, I felt bad making her go.
This was our first time at this pool it is the Club Pool I think Hope will make sure we go back.

Forward Roll

Now that Hope has mastered the forward roll she thinks she can do them anywhere. The legs together, arms by her ears and pointed toes is a work in progress but she is only 16 months old.

Shoe Shopping

Don't we all wish we could wake up and shop for shoes.

Higher Mama

Hope loves to swing, I don't think I can push her high enough or long enough.

Hope and her dogs

The funny thing about this picture is Hope was trying to get Aurora up to go outside with her.

Hope and Grandma's cat

Hope first and last visit with Grandma's cat. Grandma & Hope both have battle wounds from this short visit.

Church

Hope with Grandma & Grandpa Mac, she is trying to talk them into letting her in the water.

Hope with her classic smile and NO the hat did not stay on very long.

... and she is off

Going Bonkers!!!

Hope found a table just her size but Mommy would not let her eat at it.

Hope and Daddy on the arcades, winning lots of tickets.

Bet you cant catch me! Hope was tearing through this new restaurant/playhouse by Ryan's work.

Hope Smile

Soon as she see the camera she gets this cheesy smile, she almost looks mad. DaDa is trying to teach her how to mow the lawn already but she would rather be chased by it.

Teething

Hope's teeth have been giving her a hard time, so she has been giving everyone else a hard time. She still only has 3.5 teeth but she can still gum down steak. I cant wait till this teething thing is over she puts everything in her mouth and drools non stop.

Pictures @ the Park

Jennifer took these sweet pictures of Hope @ the park.

7 AM

I got Hope up @ 7 AM to meet Jennifer at the town square to take these pictures. She got a ton of great shots.

Hope's 1st modeling job

Our sweet friend Jennifer is starting her photography business and Hope is one of her practice models. She does a wonderful job, I wish I could take pictures of Hope like this.

Happy 4th of July

Working out those gluts my diaper is fitting a little tight.

A day @ the Park

Sweet 16

I can not believe that Hope is 16 months old, WOW where does the time go. For her birthday we took her to the DSO to watch Blue Planet, she did a lot better then we thought she would. When some of the pictures of the animals came on she tried to make the noise that they make which may have upset a few people around us but I thought it was cute.

Queen of the Trampoline

Hope loves to bounce!!!

G-Pa Mac and Hope

Hope and her Grandpa Mac after church, he loves that little girl.
