Happy Girl

I know this is a silly picture - but I love her chubby little legs when she is laying on her tummy! Don't you love the little rolls!

Sweet Girl

I love this picture - so I had to play with it some!

Friday 7/25/08

She looks so grown up in this picture!
She LOVES the camera! I get it out & she smiles!

Silly Picture ~ that I loved! She was trying to get the camera.

This video is great! She gives the camera a KISS!!!

This is Kaleb's little bouncing horse that is in our family room - cause let's face it, he isn't going to stop climbing & bouncing so I just try to give him appropriate things to do it on besides my furniture. But it turns out all the kids love the tramp & horse in the family room - even Genavie!

As you can hear ~ the girls love her.

Wednesday morning 7/23/08

She went crazy when I gave my kids licorice - so I finally gave in and let her suck on one! It made her pretty happy!

I wish I got some pictures after she had it for a while! She was covered! Briana loved her red nose when she was done!

Too Funny!!!

Tonight was really fun with Genavie! We went for a walk & she loved the swing at the park... BUT she did HOLD ON TIGHT!

Oh... LOVE THIS ONE!!!

This is so sweet - I thinkyou should blow this one up - HUGE - and frame it! This one makes me want to try to get a picture of my kids with me like this - but they are pretty tall - I don't think it will work :)

Love the SWIMSUIT!!!!

If only everyone could see her cute chubby legs!!! I love her legs in the little swimsuit! But I think this picture is super dang cute! We just can't get enough of her!

Genavie with her parents

I am so glad Kristin left these pictures on accident .... since my camera isn't working... I'm stealing some pictures (copying them) I hope that's ok.

Right when I saw these pictures I remember this one of Briana and thought how much I think they look a like. Here is sleepy Briana at 9 months - Is it just me? or do you see it too?

Genavie and her daddy

Briana at 5 months

what you think???.... Do her and Genavie look a like?

I wish I had cute pictures to share

I really wish I had some cute pictures to share but my camera --- well you know from other posts --- isn't working! But here's what we have done:

Last Wednesday...

We had a blast! We went to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point! It was so hot that we put sunblock all over her - including her hair! - Which I am sure made a lovely hair-do for the plane ride (sorry). Genavie just chilled out and enjoyed the stroller ride seeing the animals. She was pretty relaxed & tired so when we showed her the animals she didn't care much but it would have been cute to get a picture of it. She enjoyed watching the kids more then the animals.

Today (Monday)
We just hung out here at home... pretty boring! But some days a mom just needs to get some house work done :) So she chilled out in the walker by me in the kitchen while I did dishes. When she is on the tile she has figured out going backwards in the walker, so I don't think it will be long before she catches on to going forward! Then we had her on her tummy for quite awhile trying to get her to reach for the elmo doll she LOVES... she would move around a lot but did NOT like it when we tried to show her to go up on her knees :) Her new favorite toy for the day was the calculator - man she loved it & when she dropped it off the walker she got pretty upset & let us know that she wanted it back.

She had a GREAT morning nap & was very playful all day! I love that she is so use to us and happy while she is here. Thanks for letting us play with her!

*** I hope I get my camera working ... SORRY***

Monday July 7th

My camera isn't working... I think I have had too many little kids (Kaleb & Briana) playing with it! But here is one little video I got.

Genavie had a great morning & afternoon nap! She pooped twice - happy girl :) She ate Bananas & apple baby food. She loved the walker we got for her - even though she hasn't figured out how to get around in it - I don't think it will take her long. She also loved swimming today - she kicked like crazy & splashed! She doesn't even mind getting splashed. She was so super good & happy today! She loves being outside!!!

Thursday July 3rd

Look at me . . . I am such a BIG girl!!!

Thursday after Genavie's morning nap we went to Lunch at JCW's in American Fork. Chris had the day off so we were out having fun! Genavie thought it was pretty cool to be sitting in a high chair next to Kaleb. However she wasn't to sure she liked the fries - it took a little convincing.

This is Briana at lunch with Genavie - of course Briana HAD to sit next to Genavie. She truly enjoys every minute we have babysitting her.

After going to lunch, we went to Walmart to buy a new pool. Our other pool we had had since Briana was Genavie's age but it got a crack in it a couple weeks ago & we were missing it like no other! With this heat we needed one today! Walmart was sold out of them of course! So we went to Target - they were also sold out of them! Dang! We were pretty disappointed because we really wanted to get home and let Genavie swim before Kristin came to get her. Then Chris thought to check Big 5 and they had one --- SOLD! It took us a little longer to get home and we were pushing it to have time to let Briana swim with Genavie before Kristin came & got her!

Right as we got her home to our house - put her CUTE suit on & plastered on the sunblock - and right then the door knocked! Luckily her mommy stayed and let her swim! Briana would've been broken hearted if she didn't get to swim with her!

As the water got higher - she decided she wanted to stand and not sit anymore!

Happy Girl!

Check out her killer blue eyes in these pictures! I feel bad for her parents - the boys are going to be after her when she is 16!
