My buddy, My buddy

My buddy and me!!!!

Everyone is sick but me and momma

Thanks for this giant owl Leigh. Valencia played around at home then was off to work with Mama. Hope everyone is better soon. Elin and Tia Zoe have to go home Thursday and Valencia really wants to see then before they go.

My toys

With all of her cousins around Valencia decided it would be best to hide her new toys. If you look real close you might be able to spot them.

Let's eat

Everyone came to our place for dinner tonight. Only a few more days till everyone goes home, we're sure gonna miss them.

5 months old today

Family Christmas

It only comes twice a year, every other year.

What's the best part about Christmas?

When it comes early and you whole family is with you to enjoy it.

I'm up for a ride

Valencia enjoyed some more wagon rides today and it seems her cousins really like to push her around. After all the ruckus she had a nice relaxing bottle with GG before a nap.

Tiny people everywhere

Valencia was very excited to meet all her cousins. I don't think she had any idea how much fun they would be.

I don't want to go to bed

Valencia must be excited to see everyone tomorrow.

Xboxin'

Valencia played Xbox for the first time today with aunt Jenna. I'm sure she found the controller delicious.

Wrap it up

Today Valencia learned the art of gift wrapping. Then she finally got to meet her Uncle Michael who is down from South Dakota for a visit.

Art & Family

Today the Loveland Art museum was open so Valencia went with her Mama, it's no MOMA but still pretty good. Then it was off to Noni's to hang with Auntie Jenna and Cristobal.

Black Friday here we come

Actually Valencia and Michaela went to the art museum which was closed for thanksgiving. Good part Cia had a much needed nap in the car.

Eleanor the 2nd and 3rd

Valencia finally got to meet her Aunt Jenna who's in all the way from Hawaii. Thought thanksgiving dinner was delicious then was ready for Uncle Daniel to put her to bed.

Thanksgiving

Valencia's 1st T-Day was a blast. She helped make a pie, watched the parade and waited for everyone to arrive.

Beam me up, Grandma Mindy

Ok Grandma Mindy you can play with me in the command center but just to be clear, Abbot is Spock and I'm Captain Kirk.
Happy 65th anniversary Great Grandma and Grandfather

Where's the beef?

One of Valencia's favorite things to do in the evening is watch me make dinner. She sits in her bouncer and keeps an eye on everything that's going on. Next step teaching her how to do the dishes.

Give me that

Valencia really likes to go to Noni's in the morning. She enjoys getting in her car seat with a pacifier and her giraffe Stan. This morning she didn't wait to get in her seat before grabbing her pacifier.
