Fall Fun

This week

Juleah daily receives free entertainment, but this was worth capturing! Juleah is playing in the leaves that fell all to fast! I hope that she will love leaves as much as her momma does! She's off to a great start, however I don't love them enough to put them in my mouth!

Busy Girl!

That is what Juleah has to say about avacados!
Ryan is not the only one in the newspaper business!
Pretty in pink with great-grandma Brinks cozy blanket
Juleah is so self-discipline that at the age of 9 months she locks her self up and makes herslf clean teh floor. Now if I could only clean the floor with that smile!

Juleah loves to dance as her table sings the Alphabet!
Playing with grandma Vicky and cousins On a adventure with mom and dad in search or a 100 year old train bridge!
Grandma and her girls!
Helping mom!

Caedmon & Juleah

Guess who is older? Juleah -by 6 weeks. Caedmon (Josh and Lindsey's son) was teaching Juleah how to throw and tackle!

Road Trip to Wisconsin

We are almost home and still smiling after a fun weekend of seeing Angie Daugs (college friend) get married and seeing the rest of the crew of friends who started hangin' together back in HatHorn Hall at UWRF as freshman 8 years ago! Then we went to see Josh and Linds (lived with us overseas) and got to hang with their two precious kids and extended family! It was fun to venture out together and show Juleah the beautiful countryside and the autumn leaves which are starting to change!

Juleah's New Friends

This is Gabe (4) and Andi (2) Juleah's new friends that come to visit and play with us everyday! We have a lot of fun walking to the park and playing with all of Juleah's turtles and we usually work on a puzzle or two. Juleah loves all the extra action and is taking it all in as usual(quite the observer!).

Don't Eat'em

Juleah is in a basket and hard at work to take a bite out of those flowers!

Me and my Mama

Enjoying the outdoors we had the neighbors over for ice cream sundaes on Sunday! It was a fun time to connect with them and to celebrate one year of living in our new home! Wow-is Juleah growing up or what! I enjoy her more and more each day! She'll be 8 months on the 6th of September!
Thanks Ellen for the cute outfit-it fits great and looks adorable!

Hangin' with the Herrmann's

Juleah and Auntie Jenni pose for a picture! The Herrmann family gathered to celebrate the life and death of Ryan's uncle Pat who went to be with the Lord August 4th, 2006.

Meeting Caleb

Juleah met her second cousin Caleb! Juleah is three months older than Caleb. Caleb's mom, Andrea, is Ryan's first cousin who grew up about 30 minutes away from him and now lives in Soiux Falls.

Playing with my buddy Squirt

Juleah has taken a liking to turtles too! She and Squirt (from Finding Nemo-her cousins Bailey, Benji, and Brianna bought that for her in Disney world!) like to wrestle. Juleah is getting around pretty good, but not yet crawling. So her whole world still revolves around being on a pink blanket in the middle of the living room floor! Not for long is what others are saying...

Iowa State Fair

Here is Juleah petting a month old calf!

Summer Fun!

A fun evening with mom, dad, and friends at the water park!

Me and Daddy at the track

Our Dolly

Here is our little girl wearing a traditional Asian baby outfit! Can you tell why we took the picture outside? Um, yeah at some point she did pee and yes, the neighbor guy walking by witnessed it-I am sure he had stories to tell when he got home!

Splitty Pants

This outfit was a gift from our special friend Courtney from China. If you were able to see the back of Juleah-all you would see is skin! They are called splitty pants, because there is a split in their pants instead of using diapers.

Here Mom, let me help you with that!

This is Juleah's first time eating rice cereal!
