Ice Cream Come

The best way to end a busy day, she is so sleepy but will stay up for ice cream.

Great-Grandma Orin

Hope with her Great-Grandma Orin I can't believe she will be 86 this month. She used to watch me when I was little and my parents were busy running their business.

Sleepy Hope

I guess she was sleepy after all that visiting.

Miss Sierra

I can't go back to Ruidoso without visiting my little Miss Sierra although she is not little anymore she is a beautiful young lady. Yes, that makes me feel old because I used to watch her when she was Hope's age. Hope had a blast playing with her and her Mom, this picture says it all look at that smile.

Swinging with Great-Grandma & Gramps

Hope & I went home to Ruidoso this weekend to visit my family. My Grandma & Gramps Miller have a swing on their front porch that Hope loved.

New Class @ Church

Now that Hope is 18 months she is in a new Sunday School class with a lesson every week. She really seems to like this class structure better, but I'm sure she would rather still be in the nursery with all the babies.

Family Dinner

Ryan's Parents, Grandparents and Aunt & Uncle all meet us at Joe T. Garcias for dinner Friday night. Yummy mexican food, Hope thought it was another party for her, of course. She had a great time playing in the water outside on the patio.

Soccer Time

Hope and Ryan in front of Grandma & Grandpa's house playing soccer before dinner.

ART CLASS

Hope and one of her friends went to an art class the other day at gymboree, she loved it. I forgot to take any pictures but this is her butterfly the wings are her feet. Hope took one art class and is already a better artist then me.

Music Class

Hope thought this was her Elephant trunk and made Elephant sounds during the class.

Hope and her friend Ella went to a music class at gymboree they both decided that the play class is better. Next week we have them signed up for an art class, hopefully it goes better then music.

Red Sox & Ranger Game

Go Dodgers! Ryan got 1st row seats for his Dad & we all moved to the 300 level to get out of the sun. Really we were as high up as you can get and our 1st row seats stayed open during the game.

Little Gym

Hope is a natural gymnast who would have guessed. She loves to swing on the bars now we know she is my daughter.

These boots were made for playing

I think these boots are Hope's favorite shoes she would wear them with every outfit if I let her.

Hope in Pig-tails

Every time we ask Hope about her pig-tails she make a pig face and sound.

More pics from the party

Hope and her Grandpa Mac

Hope got her very own mini bundt cake just like the big one and since she won't keep a bib on she goes topless.

New Potty

Daddy told me that reading sometimes helps when your on the potty.

Hope posing like a lady, she is so full of it.

18 Month Party/ Potty Party

I LOVE Mama's shoes

I think Ryan & I have more fun then Hope. Look at Hope reaching for the little boys hand are we ever going to have our hands full with her.
