Brynlee writes her name!

November 12, 2012: I was so shocked I had to capture it. As the fourth I really hadn't spent much time teaching her how to write her name.  Amazing what they pick up!

Our big girl!

October 2012

Albuquerque, NM
Hot Air Balloon Festival Fun!  My entire family gathered at Shawn and Cami's house and spent a fun weekend together. It was amazing to see all the balloons being launched.

Cami and I enjoyed waddling from the cars to the field together. We had an amazing time. One for the books!

6 weeks to go!

Nana in her "happy zone"

Love this couple

Thanks for the fun times Shawn and Cami

Happy Birthday Hannah!

I can't believe she is 10!  She is becoming such a young lady and I was actually brought to tears at how grown up she is becoming. This is the year she stopped being a little girl. She is vibrant, intelligent, helpful, and becoming more than my daughter.  She is becoming my friend as well.  I love our talks and  can't believe how tall she is! She may quickly pass up her mother!

Helping Dad decorate his all famous caramel brownies

All done!  Let's eat!

The girls each picked something of their own to give to Hannah on top of  the gifts I selected and gave them  the choice of giving.  She loved all her sister treasures!

Just what she wanted...
(well her 2nd choice anyway--we aren't ready to buy her an iPod)!

Happy Birthday Beautiful Girl!

Love you forever!
