Happy 19th months Neil!!!

Mommy, Daddy and I went to Smiley Hollow this Sunday night with our church. It was our first 'Family' outing and we had a blast!!!!

Mommy, Daddy and I went on a hay ride pulled by a tractor! Yup...daddy's allergies went CRAZY!!

Daddy and I looking at all the great things on the hay ride!

Hum....what is that big blue cotton looking thing???

Daddy...are your allergies going to be OK on the hay ride??

Nope!! I smile enough...I am not smiling for this picture!!

Cool!! What is this??

Mommy said that I can eat it...OK...I'll give it a try!!

Here goes nothing!!!

Muuuummmmm!! This is AMAZING!!!

Can I eat ALL of it...I wonder what will happen if I do? Maybe it will give me more energy!!

Mommy....take me off of this smelly thing!! I only ride my doggies!!

Thanks mom...I feel better now!

Nope...still not smiling!

Mommy and Daddy and I went on our first picnic and I think there was a gnat in my food!!

Check out my shades!

This is some of Mommy's BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) group from last year..they all loved on me and we had BBQ for lunch! Thanks Miss Brielle, Ashley, Nesha, Jennifer and Catherine!!! You were a blast to hang out with!

This is my dog Pebbles and I love to climb on her and read her dog tags. She loves me even though she is not smiling in this picture!

I have just figured out that if I lay on my belly and read my book, it is soooo much more fun!!

Coming Home Pictures!!

Remember that first family picture that we posted??? At the airport??? The one of the 2 grandma's and Coby I and the 'Ever So Sweet' baby Neil Hollis???

Well....... we have more!!!

If you want to see all the pictures from the airport taken by an AMAZING Photographer Tom...then check it out!! And if you see any you like...go ahead and make a purchase!

Coby and I decided to have a photographer there at the airport for a few reasons. Being in the photography 'stuff' myself...I really felt that capturing this moment RIGHT was very important to me. Also, Coby and I wanted to remember this GREAT GREAT moment forever and we wanted to be able to share it with EVERYONE who had prayed for us and walked this VERY LONG road with us!! To say it best...ALL OF YOU!

Enjoy them and you might want tissue near by...I did!

Great Uncle Moe from Colorado sent Neil a 5 foot giraffe for his nursery! Neil loved to look at him and pet him and is not scared of him one bit! Thanks Great Uncle Moe!!!


Love these!!!

Back from California!!!!

Yup...we went to California!

We wanted to post all the details of the trip...but we were surprising a few people, so we couldn't even post that we were going.

Our reason for going was because of the death of Coby's step-dad. (see blog below) and we ended up being able to stay a little longer and introduce Neil to all of my family!!!

Neil Met: Grandpa, Uncle Wes and Aunt Silvia, Cousin Wesley, Emi, Becca and Hunter, Uncle Dean, Aunt Lucy, Cousin Ben and Olivia, Great- Grandpa Hollis, Great- Grandma, Great Aunt Nicki, Great Uncle Jimmy, Great Aunt Lana, Second Cousin Sarah, Aunt Dana, Uncle Michael, Oma and Opa, Cherri(who cut my hair so short!!!) ALL the BSF leaders at my mom's day class!!!

So it was a crazy week! We left last Thursday and just got home last night!

Neil had his first hamburger and of course it was an IN-IN-OUT BURGER!!! The best in the world....Neil said so and he would know! His first swimming in a pool...loved it kept sticking his head under the water! Jumping on the biggest trampling....loved it! He taught his 9 month old cousin Hunter how to crawl. He fell in love with his Grandpa...always wanted Grandpa! Ran around my parents house like a mad man with his 7 other cousins and loved every min!!! Visited San Diego, Long Beach and The Valley.

Basically...he did great and had a great time!!! I will post pictures of the week as soon as I can!! It was a great trip and one to NEVER forget!
