Danny Rolling Over

Danny rolled over for the first time today! The first 2 times he got stuck half way as he tried to figure out how to push himself over him bottom arm! It was hilarious! We tried to get video of him getting stuck, but he eventually got angry. We tried again later, and he rolled over much faster! Here is a video:



For my brother Tytus - YES I am wearing a shirt! It is pink...you can see my sleeve at the end of the video! Goodness...who do you think I am! ;)

Thanksgiving in California - Part III

Goodness, it is taking me a long time to finish documenting this trip isn't it! Anyway, on Saturday Kenneth and I took some of my family members out to Consumnes River in CA to go rockclimbing. My brother Tytus has been wanting to go since he first heard us talking about it! Here is the list of the day's participants: Me, Kenny, Danny, Michael, Kim, Pa A & Tytus. We had such a fun time and it is absolutely gorgeous there! I'm so glad we got to spend some fun time together outdoors! Here are some photos:

Tytus flew up this climb. Not bad for being his 2nd climb ever!

Thanksgiving in California: Part II

Friday, Nov. 27th my Grandma Ruth came over (my dad's mom) to visit and see her great-grandson! It was so adorable! Danny loves her! He could not stop laughing and smiling!







Here are some other fun pictures of Danny from that day!





Friday was also my nephew Isaac's first birthday. To celebrate, our family went to Chuck E. Cheese's "where a kid can be a kid!" We adults played some speed scrabble for awhile, and then played with the kids. Here are some photos!











This post is already incredibly long so I'll wait to show rock-climbing pictures tomorrow!

Thanksgiving in California - Part I

Kenneth, Danny and I headed out for California last Tuesday evening to spend Thanksgiving with my side of the family. We had a WONDERFUL trip!

We left Tuesday after work and drove 1/2 way to Winnemucca, NV and stayed in a hotel. Unfortunately, Danny slept the entire 5 hours, so he was very awake when he was supposed to go to sleep for the night! It didn't help that there were people in the room next to us, so Kenneth drove him around for awhile until he fell asleep (that is the first time we have ever had to do that!). We then drove the rest of the way Wednesday morning and arrived in Woodland around noon.

Wednesday my other UT siblings flew in and we went shopping at Old Navy with my sister. All of their Black Friday sales were going on on Wednesday, so we were able to get some great deals without all the chaos of after Thanksgiving shopping! That evening we just sat around talking with Pa A & Jayne. My brother Michael found some blocks and went crazy with all his creations. I get the feeling he is going to have a lot of fun with his boy who is due in March!

On Thursday we had a fabulous Thanksgiving with ALL my siblings and their kids! We had it at my dad's house and my mom & Ron were able to be there too! It was so fun to see all the nieces and nephews as well as my 2 brothers & their wives who live in CA. It was the first time the nieces and nephews have seen Danny so we naturally had to get a picture of all the cousins.

Alisha helped the nieces and nephews make little Thanksgiving place-mats during the day. They ended up so cute and they loved the project!

As the dinner was being prepared, Kenneth, my sis Alisha and I took some of the nieces and nephews to the park to throw around a football, and to fly kites! The kids had such a fun time, and it was great spending time with them so they could get to know their "Tia Amy" better!

When Did My Boy Get So Big??

Danny is about 4 1/2 months now. I can't believe how fast the time is going and how big he is getting!


He loves this toy! He shakes it all day long!






This is what happens any time we put a bib on Danny. He grabs it and pulls it up towards his head, and then he can't figure out how to get it off again! He sits like this until we notice and move it off.




Here we are together. People asked to see pictures of my hair - here it is. You can't tell much of a difference unless there is light on it. I'm not sure what I think...I imagined it either a deeper, darker red, or doing a lighter red - one where you could actually tell...so much for trying to be different!
