Monkey Party

Here are some shots from Georgias first birthday party. She had a blast and did really well with all the comotion.

Happy Birthday Baby

Georgia turned one yesterday and got to have some cake and ice cream to celebrate. We had a small family only party and it was lots of fun. I put together a slide show for my baby girl and want to share it with those of you who have been keeping up with her through he blog. A word of warning, it is about 20 minutes long but all who have seen it said it was totally worth it.

I will post party picture soon.

Pirates and Bubbles

Aagrh. I've got me hook.

We blew bubbles for Georgia for the first time this week and all she wanted to do was eat the container and wand.

My Glory...

...What big ears you have...

...What a big tongue you have...

...What big teeth you have...

...What a fury underside you have...

...What a good sense of humor you have...

...What a great dog we have!

Easter

The hunt was on and all the siblings were there except Billy, who was scared of all of our egg hunting prowess. Georgia examined my loot.

And played with some loot of her own.



Here she is showing off her egg to Matt and Christy (who is back for good thankfully).

This is right after Christy fell off the bench.

I only had to shove Vivian out of the way a couple of times in order to claim the eggs I spotted first.



Mary set up a baby hunt inside for Georgia with all of my old stuffed animals.

Matt didn't miss a thing.

New Chair

In Georgia's life, I have bought her very little, thanks to the generosity of our families. Today I saw something I had to buy for her. A little chair that is the same color and fabric as our living room furniture. It even rocks. Both literally and figuratively.

Bath time in the big tub

We switched Georgia to the big tub a while ago and I realized we have never taken any pics. One of these days I will get around to recaulking.

Laying Rock

Mary is working on some rock paving and we went over tonight to give her a hand. In the process we found a little toad and I had some fun with it.



And then momma got kisses.

I also wanted to showcase what Georgia's pants typically look like by the end of the day.

Thank You Nanue & Big Poppa

For my awesome Easter Monkey!

Where to Start

Lots has happened since the last post. I will try to do this in order but forgive if I mess it up.
First of all, Nanue and Big Poppa came to visit. Pete also flew in on Saturday to check out my brothers boat and see if he wanted to haul it back to Amarillo (which he didn't). We had lots of fun and Georgia got some quality time with her Nanue.

Georgia was not too sure what to think of Uncle Pete....

Okay, now she is sure.

My sister celebrated her 32nd birthday while they were here and here is a collective shot of the original Byrne clan. Ole Bob looking pretty fit and trim for an old lady.

One the following Monday, I got to celebrate my big 30 with the family. Thanks to Mary for the best pimento cheese EVER. And of course to my dear husband for the tasty cake balls of love.

And here is the best present ever!

Some other birthday shots.





And then, in true Byrne fashion, spring is really here, dirt eating and all.





First wheelbarrow rides.
