Little Miss Mabel Claus

We had a wonderful Christmas. We hope all of you did as well.

Holiday Fun

Thanksgiving. We went to Fred's sister Beverly's house for Thanksgiving. My pictures weren't the best, but here are a couple:


Mabel visited (Uncle) Santa at our Ward Breakfast with Santa event. She didn't like him much.

Mabel Fun

Here are some fun pictures of Mabel.

Halloween Fish

Finally. Here are pictures of Mabel as a fish -- her Halloween Costume. She loved being a fish! And she was the cutest fish I've ever seen.

Mabel in October

I have had a hard time posting recently, as we have been moving and have not had the internet. Here are a few random pictures taken over the past couple weeks.

We took Mabel to the pumpkin patch, but there were hardly any pumpkins and they were all bad, so it wasn't the experience I was picturing in my head, but oh well. I took a lot of pictures, but not many turned out well. I do, however, love this one.

Little White Runner

I love this outfit that Mabel's aunt Lanae got for her. It is so cute on her. I took her out front to take some pictures, and she just wanted to run down the sidewalk. She likes running down the sidewalk and then down the neighbors driveway. And she loves it when you chase her--she just laughs and thinks it is so fun. She slso loves talking on her cell phone.

Did you know that Jello Stains?

I didn't know that it stains that easily. I gave Mabel some Jello. At first she tasted it a bit. Then, a bit more. Then both hands dove in. She had a lot of fun, and made a big mess. But when I tried to clean it off of her face and hands, I discovered that Jello Stains. And so my little girl had red hands and face for awhile. Next time, we'll try the green Jello.

Mabel's Cute New Clothes

Mabel's Great Grandma Joy crocheted her a beautiful dress and hat -- she looks so cute in them. These really aren't the best pictures of Mabel, but at least you can see the dress and hat, and check out the cute little leggings she got to go with it.





Mabel loves horses, and this little shirt has a horse on it -- she loves to wear it.

Bathtub Baby

Sorry, It has taken me so long to post again. I took these pictures today of Mabel in the bathtub with all of her Bath Frogs. She really liked the bubbles in the tub -- she kept putting her face in the water and trying to eat them.

Mabel Turns One!

Mabel is Now One Year Old. Saturday, September 8th was the big day. It was a lot of fun. We had a family party for her. We barbequed and swam, and then we opened presents and had cake. Mabel loved opening her presents. She just wanted to play with them instead of open more. She got really excited when she saw the unicorn that Bev and Craig bought her. She loves horses. She didn't really like the cake much. She has never had cake before. She liked playing in it for a few minutes, but she didn't really want to eat it, and I don't think she liked the frosting all over her hands.

Mabel at 51 Weeks

Jeff and Ashley were up for Labor Day Weekend, and we all went to the Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento.

Mabel and Isaac both loved playing with the Toy Train Track -- This is Mabel trying to keep up with Isaac and the other big kids playing on the track.
