A Family Weekend

Grandpa Doug and Grandma Leah as well as Uncle Marques and Auntie Angie came to visit us for a long weekend! Juleah enjoyed an afternoon with grandma, while Doug and Ryan watched NASCAR, and Jody and Marques and Angie enjoyed games in the pool! Wow Doug and Leah it looks like you just had family number 2!

Me and My Dollies

Just livin' the life!

Those are my dollies! I mean there is Juleah with her dolly and mine! They make a great trio!



What a Q-T Pie! Juleah is wearing a bonnett that I believe belonged to her Auntie Jennifer and laying on the quilt her mom made for her as she eagerly anticipated her birth!

Meeting my cousins

Zack is hard at work to help Juleah settle down! He succeded and she actually fell asleep in his lap!


Zack and Sidney enjoyed meeting Juleah and knew all about babies as they have recent experience with another baby cousin from Kelly's family. Well maybe not all about babies. Zack asked me if Juleha could have a turn to suck on his belly!

Juleah is obviously loving every moment with her older girl cousins. I look forward to these three enjoying eachother as they get older just as we enjoyed our cousins!

Angels Watching Over Me

Brianna is just watching to make sure that Juleah is okay! What a great big cousin!

Happy Valentines Day!

Juleah is all smiles in her 1st Valentines Day outfit given to her by Pamela (Ryan's Counsin) and Darrin, and by her side is he beanie baby from the Rygh family! Juleah and mom made dad pink heart shaped pancakes to celebrate this special day!

Hello to the world! Today I am just hanging out with my mom, and now dad is here on his lunch break! I love the attention those two give me...actually they serve as really good NUK holders. Sometimes I con both of them into changing my diaper-I like it when it's a family affair-I am glad I can be of service for keeping my family together!

February 5th

Today is momma Jody's 26th Birthdy and we are dressed in bright colors for the occation. (including going to church and watching the Super Bowl). Juleah is looking out the window-she loves the sunshine!

Jan. 30 Juleah is resting in one of her favorite places - Daddy's arms while he reads out loud. Juleah is a good nighttime sleeper allowing Mom to sleep in until 9am somedays! She enjoys her morning nap time while Mom takes her for a walk at the YMCA. We have to make it home for lunch with Dad, and then Jody crosses her fingers to get a nap for herself in the afternoon (usually only a quick one!) Juleah enjoys her evenings with Mom and Dad -who watch her with delight and still oh and agh over her every move.

Believe it or not Juleah came home from the hospital 3 weeks ago smaller than my doll-Kelly. Kelly was born into my life as a young third grader back in 1989. I purchased her with my very own hard earned $30. It still is not quite real to me that Juleah does not come with a gift receipt! And although everyone says "Juleah looks like a dolly", I have learned that there are drastic differences between the two of them!
