Daredevil Dave.

Hadley decided it is much cooler to sit in the Exersaucer like this. Until she lost all circulation in her leggies...

HA!

Dad, you are one funny guy!

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out...

We're getting Hadley off to an early start with the candy. Thought we'd start nice and easy with a gummy worm...but Twerpz are soon to come. And people, if you guys haven't tried Twerpz, you haven't lived! Trying to rot this kids teeth before she even gets them.
Hooray, she's got the candy gene! Both Grandma's should be so proud, those drawers/pantries at their houses are going to be a hit with Miss Hads.

Pretty, Pretty, Princess.

Such a lady, crossing her ankles.

Now you're looking more like your Mom in a dress. Always cross those ankles, boys will try to peek sis!
Feeling like one of the Fancy Narode girls.

Aunt Pam.

Cindy's sister, Pam, was in town too for the big event. Hads sure thought she was the cat's meow! I think kids and dogs have great intuition...and yes, Rudy loves Aunt Pam too. They had a lot of fun together and I think Pam's oldest daughter Stef is going to start getting a little pressure to get making those babies. Sorry Stef and Greg!

Fun times with the fam.

This weekend we celebrated Grammy Cindy's 5oth with a big bash at our house Friday night. All sorts of friends and family came in from out of town, and gave Grams quite a surprise! It was an awful lot of fun and thanks to everyone for making it so grand. Cindy's bday in not actually until October 17th, but she'll be in Hawaii celebrating her 50th like we all should. Good for you Grandma!!! No pictures from the acutal party, but here a few of all of us recovering.

Uncle Ron, Grandpa Fred, Hads, and Grandma watching the Hawks get killed.
Aunt Pam and Uncle Ron with the bambino.
Hads studying away so that she'll be sure to get into the finest Preschool.
The oldest and the youngest.

Too cute. Lauren entertaining us all on the piano. She sure is shy;).
Telling Gramps how much fun she had at the party on Friday night.

Zaideafraidy.

Both gals chomping on their crackers. Sorry Mom, not the most flattering picture of you...but it's a cute pic of Hads...and it is her blog after all.
I'm standing by ready to do the heimlich.
Zaide can never take her eyes off of Hads to actually look at the camera.
Stop squishing that face, we don't want it to look any fatter!

Mama's Lil' Helper.

Hadley thought it was quite hilarious to be covered in laundry. Now if I could just teach her to fold it.

All natural

Hads watching Eddie Murphy "Raw".
Smile!
Round face, round face, man alive.
Thinking she looks A LOT like her Mama in this pic.
Practicing her yoga or karate...neither are things she learned from her folks.

No crib required.

Lauren in the middle of the Food Court @ Alderwood Mall.
Just taking a rest.
Hads loving life...Lauren just trying to cope.

Val and I took the girls to the mall and Miss Lauren decided she was too old for naps today. Needless to say, by the time we'd been there for about an hour, she thought snuggling up on the filthy Food Court floor would be the perfect spot for some shut eye. She made quite a few people smile, and brought her mother to tears...because she was laughing so hard.

Two of my favorite peeps.

I just absolutely love this picture of these two, so it needed it's very own post.

Yum.

Sometimes I just want to eat her up.

Lunch with the girls.

Hadley loves Jocie's long straight locks.
Kasie and Hayley O.
"Mom, please don't let this BABY touch my precious pink slippers."
"PUHLEASE, Hayley can I just try one on."
Lauren and her Auntie Meg.

Thanks again so much Joc for having ALL of us gals over. How times have changed...used to be just Rudy I would bring over, now it's two babies and whole kitchen sink. You were great with all the chaos. You're the best, we had a blast.

Readin' & Rollin'

"This book is a real page turner."
"Lauren, please don't drool on my new book. It's my favorite."
"My Grandma's will be so proud that I'm a reader."
"...and a roller." Is this proof enough Mean Grandma Zaide???

Hangin' with the fam.

Kate and Hads gabbing. They were probably discussing Zaide's inability to log on to blogspot. Hads is saying to Zaides, "even I could do that you goof!"
Logan says "Me too!".
Tall, non-fat, sugar free vanilla, no foam latte...a gal after my own heart.
Hadley Hoo and Loopie Loo cuddling.
