Phone pics

These are misc. pics from our phone, i've been meaning to put on the computer. Poor Naya, she puts up with so much abuse from Belize and then she even has the audacity to fall asleep on her. Abuelo on the ferry ride from Hood Canal. Belize loves to play on Abuela & Abuelo's deck.

Birthday girl!

Belize had a great time at her 1st birthday party. She ran around from person to person, loved her birthday frosting but threw the cake part onto the ground, and when the night was all done she spit up green frosting. What a perfect day!

Cute bugs for our Cutiebug!

Hey we're all in the picture at the same time! If only we could get one where we were all smiling, I might send out Christmas cards.

One of Belize's favorite presents was a box of tissues her Aunt Richelle gave her. :)

Hood Canal

Brannon has officially returned from his mistress (Harborview) and decided to rejoin our little clan. Yeah!! To celebrate we took a little trip to his parents' cabin in the Hood Canal. And although we came back smelling a little like skunk (who apparently died close to the house) we had a blast. Belize enjoyed the ferry ride and even liked the intense wind, I'm surprised it didn't blow her over. Abuela, Abuelo and Tia Xochi joined us the next day for lunch and in time to watch Belize get a shiner on the cast iron furnace. Brannon brought his snorkeling gear and dry suit so he brought us all kinds of fun creatures to touch. It's nice to have him back, we missed him!

Rock on!

Anti-Lambchops

"This is the song that never ends." Does anyone remember that song, the theme song to Lambchops (the lamb puppet who sounded like Carol Channing*)? This is the song that we Gregg kids brought out for special occasions (ie. road trips, FHE, or just to annoy the parentals, it was our secret weapon).This is a shout out for the Anti-Lambchops! Belize's birthday is coming up and I'm on the hunt for a tried and true adult-friendly** children's CD. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!




*an American singer and actress. The winner of three Tony Awards (including a lifetime achievement award), a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nominee, Channing is best remembered for these roles: Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Dolly Gallagher Levi in Hello, Dolly!, and Muzzy in Thoroughly Modern Milly.
**something that makes adults want to pull their ears off and throw them into a deep abyss.

Grandpa, you quack me up!

Help me!

You know you are blogging too much when 1) you're lying awake at night and you start blogging in your head, 2) you have a dream in which you blog about your dream, 3) you actually blog about blogging. I'm in need of a new read, anyone have any book suggestions?

Chick Belize (technically a duck) and Brannon, puppy Naya and Zoram. 2 generations of BFFs. This week Belize's added to her vocabulary: tractor, cheese, agua, woof woof, and bzzzzzz (like a bee).

Getting her groove on . . .

What ARE the lyrics to this song? I thought it was one ton tomata?

My sweetiepie in my favorite dress!

This meter must be broken!

Naya: "Tranquila, you're rocking the cart Bise. What are you so excited about?"

Belize: " (comment Belize's response below, the funniest response will be posted)."

Grandma Gregg is in town from Wyoming. She's a trooper and went shopping about 3 times yesterday so we all could spend time with her. Aren't both these ladies cute?

I thought I would be all artsy and take a cute leaf picture . . . well, while I was taking the shot Belize took a bite and swallowed. Guess I'm not getting a Mother of the Year award after all. ;)

This week we went to the zoo on an amazingly sunny day. It was a completely different experience now that Belize can walk around. She LOVED it, it makes me sad that its practically winter now so that going to the zoo won't be such a frequent activity. Note the drool on Belize's shirt in every picture, perhaps she's permanently teething. This week she also started shaking her head, although i don't think she associates this with NO yet.

Some days Belize likes her shoes and others she doesn't, this is one of the latter, but i just thought her face was priceless.
