Happy Turkey Day

LETS EAT! HOPE HAD HER EYE ON THE PLATE OF FOOD & COULD CARE LESS ABOUT MAMA WITH THE CAMERA.Hope with her MeMe waiting to eat she was a little impatient as you can see in the pictures. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Ryan's Aunt and Uncles House in Denton.

More pictures from the Teddy Bear Ball

A few more pictures from last weekend. Sailer's Mom sent me these and I had to post them because they are a lot better then the ones I took. I just love the first one of Hope on the bench with her tongue out.

Teddy Bear Ball

Hope and her sweet friend Sailer went to the teddy bear ball and tree lighting at the town square festival of trees this weekend. At the teddy bear ball they stuffed their own teddy bear and decorated cookies, Hope's favorite part was eating the cookie. She loved the bears in the window she was giving them Eskimo kisses in the picture above. I didn't get any picture of Hope stuffing the bear or even with the bear I was too busy keeping her out of trouble. As most of you know Hope is a very busy baby that never stops.

My Poor Little Baby

Hope with her Daddy during one of her treatments.

Charcoal Portrait

I got Hope's portrait done today, it took less then 1 hour and with the use of a digital camera she did not have to sit still. The top picture is finished and framed. The wonderful artist told me to get it framed next door at Hobby Lobby they had it done in about an hour.

Play Day

Hope and I had a bad day yesterday, because it was flu shot day. Since Ryan goes into so many hospitals during the week Hope's doctor thought we should get the flu shot this year. I am not big on shots so I got the nasal version not a very good idea I am so congested its not fun. We also had to start Hope back on her nebulizer 2X a day, poor little girl. This is why I took her to Paradise Pond today to play, play and play some more.

Paradise Pond

Paradise Pond is a fun play area at a church not far from our house. As you can see they have everything a toddler could ask for. Hope loved the toddler roller coaster (I could not get a picture because I would not let go of her) and the bike merry-go-round the best. She had no idea that she was just riding and the big kids where pedaling. They also had a grocery store, basketball toss, legos, trains, cars, magnets, dress-up room, a mini climbing wall, bounce house/slide and a two-story play area I had to go up and slide down with Hope.

Yummy Crayons

Yes, Hope EATS crayons I have to watch her anytime crayons are around. This is Hopes friend Ella showing Hope how to color with the crayons instead of eat them. Hope makes me laught because she looks at them says "no no no" and then put it in her mounth anyway.

Rockin with Friends

Hope always runs to get on the rocking horse or boat with a friend. I think the picture with her rocking the boat for the little boy is too cute.

Christmas Cards?

I got Ryan, Hope and myself dressed up and we meet our friend Jennifer a wonderful photographer down at the Mandalay Canal to take pictures for Christmas. I could not help but take one myself.

Hope @ Church

Hope playing at a little movie screen in the children's room before church. She was giving kisses in this picture.

Nap Time

I just love pictures of Hope sleeping she looks so sweet. This is bear that she is holding she carries it around everywhere she now even wants in with her in her highchair.

Bounce House Fun

Hope and three of her friends all meet up at a bounce house play area for a play date. I loved this little Elmo bounce house I have to see if we can rent it for her birthday. This place was pretty clean and had about 15 or so bounce houses and slides, we will go back. As you can see the lighting was back for pictures and I am not sure how to use my camera to fix it. Hope won't stay still long enough for me to get a good shot of her anyway.

Ryan-VS-Snake

So Ryan watches some show on discovery and he thinks he can out smart this snake he found in front of our house. He gets out a golf club and ends up getting bit, good thing it was harmless. This scares me so bad to know that this big of a snake was even close to our house.

Lunch Time

We used to get to eat where we wanted to go but now the girls decide, so chicken and playtime it is. This picture is so Hope always being silly.

Hope & Friends

Hope with a few of her friends at Gymboree. I just love when I get a picture with her tongue sticking out it is just so cute.

FC Kids

Hope always has so much fun at Church. I think it is so funny how she knows right where to go and what to do. I had to include this picture of her with the tiger tail because she loves animals tails, especially our dogs. Ryan and I went to target today and got Hope a few halloween costume that had tails for her to wear around the house. Hopefully she won't insist on wearing them anywhere or we will be looking for drive up stores.
