More videos starring Julianne

I thought I would share a few new videos of Sugar.  

She, like her siblings, loves the water.  Until the weather warms up and we can get the pool up, she'll have to get her fix with bath time.

Julianne loves peek-a-boo, and I think this was the ultimate game for her!

Until next time...

Green Eggs and Ham?

A while back Doug stumbled upon an ad on Craigslist for some hens, a rooster, an incubator, egg turner, feed, and I don't know what else.  Anywho, it was an excellent deal that he couldn't pass up.  Doug has been looking at incubators for some time, but has been putting it off because of the cost of the equipment.  

Back to the original theme of the post...one of the hens that came in the hodge-podge is an Easter-Egger.  An EE can lay a range of colored eggs, from blue to green to even pink!  We have been patiently waiting, and yesterday, we finally got a colored egg!

Looks like our girl is a green egg layer!

Julianne's {first} 1st Birthday Party

We were able to celebrate Julianne's (upcoming) birthday with my side of the family while up north this past weekend.  Thankfully, Aunt Katie and Uncle Brian were back for the holiday and join, too!  Sugar wasn't too sure about the hoop-la of opening presents, but she gradually figured it out.

Julianne loves cats, and will screech "tit-ty" when she sees one, so it was only fitting to put a kitty on her cake.

This is probably my favorite picture, I just wish it wasn't so dark (I've already lightened it the best I could).  Julianne saw the kitty on her cake and tried to pet it.  Of course, she ended up with a handful of icing!

Yep, she's still licking the icing off her fingers

Since Reba's party was just last week, this was not Julianne's first time having cake.  It was though, the first time I was letting her do it on her own!  She didn't know what to think about that.

No fear, she figured out what to do!

Until next time...

Thanksgiving Weekend

Doug and I did something different this year for Thanksgiving Day.  He and Dallas went to be with Gram's family, while the girls and I went to be with Pa-paw's family.  We each had a wonderful time with great food and excellent company, but we decided we didn't like being apart on the holiday.

Before everyone parted ways at the Robertson gathering, I was able to capture this picture of the little girls that were in attendance (L-R: Julianne {almost 1}, Bria {21 months}, Grace {4 years}, and Reba {5 years})

While staying at Ma-maw's, Julianne found the Tupperware cabinet

And Dallas found the scotch tape

Reba was also able to continue her birthday celebration.  Since Aunt Katie and Uncle Brian weren't able to make it to her party the weekend before, they brought her gifts with them.

Until next time...

She's a Bronc Rider!

Remember how Reba typically backs out of riding the mechanical bull at the NAILE?  I figured out today why that is.  I was at the mall getting the tires rotated on my van (you know the mall that has Sears and not much else - like the Commons in Columbus).  Anywho...Reba loves to play on the quarter ride machines while we wait - pretending the entire time, I don't put any money in them.  Today, she loved the horse, and it hit me!  She wants to be a bronc rider, not a bull rider!

Until next time...
