last first...

Leah celebrated her 1st Valentine's Day last week! With her birthday looming, that is officially her last 1st holiday! What a big girl!

Mommy turns 30

Auntie Ashley brought 30 yummy chocolate covered strawberries


We went to dinner




Leah helped Mommy blow out the candles on her cake, thank goodness there were not 30!!!

Swinging and Sliding!!!

February 7th was an unusually warm Saturday, so we decided to take Leah to the park. She loves to be outside and had an absolute ball!!!

Daddy and his girl walking to the playground at MeMe's house
(Check out he Poncho Grandma made, complete with hood and pocket!)


Leah loves the swing. The seat on this one was so big it just about swallowed her whole!


She loved the Monkey Bars! All Kidd did was hold her up and she grabbed right on!


Fun on the slide with Mommy and Daddy



We decided the little playground was boring so we went to the Park.
These swings were a little more her size.


Leah loved going down the big twisty slide with Daddy

Bouncing around on the whale.

Happy 25th Birthday

Joanna turned 25 on Februrary 7th, we went out on the 6th to celebrate. Here are some pics from the occasion.

Leah LOVES Balloons!!!



Leah had to help Aunt ChiChi blow out her birthday candle. (Someone, that would be me, forgot to get candles, so we had to use what the restaurant had!)

Steelers vs. Cardinals

Leah got to watch her first SuperBowl this year. We went to Beth and Rob's house for the game. We were all pulling for the Steelers and were very happy to see them win. Here are a few pictures from the game.

Ready to go to Beth and Rob's


Watching Kickoff!


Leah loved their wood floors!


Rob got everyone 3-D glasses for the halftime show!


Leah loved thier little puppies, Dora and Roscoe...Here she is snuggling with Roscoe

Great Aunt Gladys!!!

FINALLY!!! The long awaited arrival of Aunt Gladys!!! She lives in New York and Jordyn, her grandaughter who is 3 months older then Leah lives in Texas!!! Of course every opportunity she had she went to Texas to see Jordyn...Who can blame her, she is pretty cute!!!

(this is an old pic, but I like it a lot!)


Well, a few weekends ago, she came to see Leah! We were all so excited and had a great weekend together! Here are some pictures from the weekend!

The 1st day that she was here, we went to the Diner by Grandma and Grandpa's house that we eat at ALL the time and Jen, our waitress had one of the cooks make Leah these pancakes...I don't think she knows who they were, but she loved them anyway!


We went out to Dinner at Bugaboo Creek the 1st night that Aunt Gladys was here... Even though it took FOREVER, Leah was such a good girl!


Daddy and Leah checking out the talking Moose


We went to the supermarket so that Aunt Gladys could cook us a yummy Italian Dinner...Leah loved helping put away the groceries.


We turned this chair sideways so that she would not go down the steps to Grandma and Grandpa's den. Apparently Leah thought it was a jungle Gym!


Getting Ready to Say Goodbye!!!



"Goodbye Aunt Gladys, I Love You!!!"

TEETH...FINALLY!!!

They have been in there for a while...but Leah refused to share! She would not let us touch them or see them or much less take a picture.It has been so long that we have been trying to get the picture that a top tooth has broken through...No picture, of course it should take about 3 months. But, we finally got the shot, so here it is!!! Leah's two bottom teeth.
