Some Catching Up...Its about time!

These are some photos of the girls from 13 months to 15 months. I will post the 16 month/ Halloween pictures soon.
Our Trip to Vancouver
Oct 6th-11th 2009
(The girls were a little over 15months)
We were able to go to Vancouver and see our family there. It was great to see so many people that we love. We were saying goodbye to a wonderful woman, Grandma Moultrie. It meant so much to us to be there, and we wanted to thank all those that made it possible. During our trip to Vancouver I was able to go to California to say goodbye to another wonderful person, Grandpa Hall. Both of the ceremonies were beautiful and honored 2 of the best people that John and I have ever known. They will both be truly missed by so many. We love you, and miss you dearly Grandma & Grandpa.
It was so great for the girls to see so many people that they had never met. They had a blast playing with new faces and in new places. I really wanted to post a video of the cookie cutters, but it just would not upload. So I will try again in a few days, it is hilarious. But the girls had a blast at The Combs & Moultrie homes. These first few pictures are at my Aunt and Uncles house. They were so hospitable and generous to let us stay there, and have two 15 month olds running the place :D :D
And the pics and video after this were when we were hanging out and playing with all the cousins at grandma and grandpa Moultries house. The girls had a blast. Thank you again to all that made this trip possible. It was very emotional, but very joyful too.
Image Havin a blast with the cookie cutters. Sheer brilliance on my Aunts part, they were entertained and loved it.

ImageLace is explaining to me about the situation and telling me about all the different shapes and colors...in her own little language.

ImageI just thought this was a precious picture of Claire Bear & I love the tiny little toes :)

Image The girls just loved all the space to run around

Image Claire is so funny, pretending to drink out of my water bottle. Lol!

Claire just loved this fake food orange soda can. I think she had it in her hand for about 3 days straight. She would do a big slurp noise and then go ahhhhh, and that is when I took this picture, during the ahhhhhhh. Too funny.

Good times at the Moultrie home :)

14 Months Old
We received these beautiful dresses from Sister Sheen, a wonderful woman that I knew growing up. It was so thoughtful, thank you so much. We love them.
I took a few videos, and usually I only post 1, but these were both just so funny I had to post them both. Hope you love them as much as I do.

As the pictures progress, you will see the bribes go full circle. It is pretty cute, and hilarious.

We took the bribes away so we could try and get a picture with them both looking up, and as you can see we got one and then.....

This was just a fun video during the day of the girls playing :)

13 Months Old
My sister Karista and her family came into town for a vacation and all the grand kids were in the same place at the same time, so we wanted to get some photos taken. It was fun and the girls love looking at this last photo and seeing all their cousins. They smile and laugh and have me say all of their names.
So glad we were able to have such a fun visit with everyone and make some memories.

Daddy, Claire & Lace reading a book before the Fam arrives!

Image
John and I bought the girls these little travel mirror/brush...the brush pops out if you push on the back...they were 99 cents...and you would have thought we payed a bundle for them...the girls think they are the best!

Image
Not the biggest fan of me in this picture...but I had to post it...if you look close at the girls faces...they look totally disgusted with the other things we gave them...nothing measures up to the 99 cent travel thingy!

Image
So many wonderful gifts! Thank you everyone...the girls are having a blast with everything!
