Granparent's Visit to Reno.

My parents came out for a visit. We had a great time and they spoiled us rotten. They never get to stay long but we were glad to have them and hope they can come again soon.

Etney using the dog door as her front door and my Mom thinks it's the funniest thing ever.

Playing in the grass. Grandma spent all afternoon chasing her around outside.

We took her for a ride in her car. It is remote controlled and I am a terrible driver!

She is being a ham and playing peek-a-boo with a tupperware dish.

Playing with her car again. She loves to be outside.

Giving us the eye!

Wilde Family Reunion 2009

We went to the Wilde family reunion at the begining og August. We had a good time. They always put on a great picnic and games for the kids. Although Etney is to young right now for most things I think she will look forward to it in the future. It was a cowboy theme this year so Dusty is trying to get her to wear her cowboy hat that they gave all the kids.

She is not having anything to so with the hat!

Here we are standing in line for our prize.

Reeling in our new treasure!

Wow a stick horse! ( I'm ready to ride Grandma)

Etney's 1st Birthday

I cannot believe that Etney's first birthday has come and gone! It is still a little surreal to me that I have a daughter let alone a one year old. It has been a fantastic year and I can't wait to see what the next one brings. Everybody was so generous and she was very spoiled this year! I had a ton of help from my mom and sister and can't thank them enough for all they do!

Grabbing breakfast before the festivities commence!

Daddy bought her tools!

Her first ride! Pretty fancy!

Playing in the rain.

Not so sure about the Junior Mint! =0)

Entey chowing down on her cake!

My Grandma Carol made this awsome playhouse for Etney. We love it and I can see us using it frequently. Etney like to push stuff back through the mail slot which is very funny. She also like to hide her toys in it for safe keeping. She will sit in there with the door closed and wait for you to scare her. Then she laughs and the game starts all over. Thanks Grandma!

Etney is playing in her new playhouse.

Etney's first birthday cake! I made this and it took hours! I am very proud of it though I think it turned out pretty cute.

Family Photos

Our little family! We had family photos taken on the weekend of Etney's first birthday because it's not often that everybody gets together. They turned out good and I am glad we were able to take the time.

Mom, Chanda, Callie, and Etney! (I love this picture)

This is four generations on Dusty's side. Grandpa Vance, Grandpa Brent (now a Grandpa), Dusty and Etney.

The whole family! Well those who could make it to Etney's birthday anyway.

Our Little Swim Suit Model

For Etney's birthday she got 4 bathing suits. I made her model each one cause they were all so cute I wanted a picture of each and every one. She was such a sport with all the wardrobe changes! Etney is such a happy kid and we have great fun together!

Swim suit #3.

Last but not least swim suit #4!

Vacation in Vegas

Etney and I took a trip down to Vegas to visit Chanda in July. We had such a great time. I miss Chanda so much and wish we could see each other more often. Etney was very spoiled by Aunt Chanda and Uncle Lance so we had plenty of toys to play with and lots to keep us busy. We can't wait for our next trip.

Trying to teach Etney that you have to blow bubbles not eat the stick.
