Happy Birthday Presley!

February 20, 2009!

Presley is 14 months old!

Here are a few pictures of the little cutie :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day was pretty chilly here (between 40-50 degrees) so we didn't get to spend too much time outside, but we did get in a quick stroll around the backyard. You know, just checked the perimeter, fixed some fences...




Then we read a Dora story prior to bedtime...
All in all, a pretty good day. : )

Fort Worth Stock Show

A few weekends ago, we went to the Fort Worth Stock Show. It was fun. There isn't much yet that Presley can really participate in, but I think she had a good time seeing all of the animals up close. I'd like to think that that special smell that only a livestock show can offer was something new for her, as well!

A Joyful Heart is Good Medicine...

A Joyful Heart is Good Medicine-Proverbs 17:22

-at least that's what we're counting on. We are quarantined in the house right now with The RSV. And as my highly intelligent doctor told us, "From here it can either get much worse or much better". (I wonder what year in med school you learn that) Anyway, we're hoping for much better.
I will leave you with a video that was actually taken before she got The RSV. It cracks me up everytime I watch it.

You can see all the wonderful toys behind her that she received for her birthday and Christmas, but apparently all she needs is a 50 cent bottle of bubbles and a crazy dog. I love that at one point she actually almost falls over from the strain of laughing so hard. : )

The Year in Review

Since I made a 0-6month video, I decided to make another one for 6 months to 12 months. There are a few pictures each month of Presley. I can't believe how much she's changed in such a short time! I know it's several minutes long, but if you watch it to the end (what else are you doing at work today?) you'll see a short clip of her walking, as well.
TURN YOUR SPEAKERS ON - there's music!

Christmas 2008

Well, it's about time that I posted a little bit of something about Christmas! (With the birthday celebration and everything else about the Holidays, it's hard to fit this all in. And I'm still trying to take this in order) Presley had about 6 different Christmas celebrations- starting in November- so these are just a few highlights.

Sweet angel, sitting by the Christmas tree.

Everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) gets tasted.

When she would open a present she would tear off a little tiny piece and then hand it over to someone and then tear off another little tiny piece...

It has the potential to take a great while.

-but eventually everything was unwrapped.

And sometimes drowning in the wrapping paper can be as much fun as the presents themselves!

She was always reaching for the bows...

Presley's new tunnel.

Presley received so many amazing gifts for Christmas! And really, when you're that blessed you can't help but to enjoy it all!

Birthday Suit

I read about this somewhere so I thought that we'd try it. You buy an outfit in an adult size and every year on their birthday take a picture of them "growing into" it. So in the end you have a fun progression all in the same outfit. Needless to say, this first one definitely didn't fit, but we had a fun time trying it on. Here are a couple of the pictures....
