"Go DEBILS!!" As Corinne would say...

Corinne and Daddy

Being "reverent", per say, at the game... yet NEVER at church. Go figure!

Cheeser...

Love this pic. She's checkin' out one of the many airplanes that'll fly over during the game. She loves everything about the sky and in it!

Me and my little girl. She's not a baby anymore! :-(

Knuckles...

Just had to record the cutest thing Corinne just did. We were working on phonics and when she got the letter and sound right, I said, "Way to go Corinne! Good Job! Gimme five!" She then proceeded to give me a high-five but added, "Knuckles." I busted up laughing as I we hit fists. Oh, the things they say and do! I love being a mom!

Flutter by, Butterfly...

Tim took Corinne to the butterfly exhibit at the Phoenix Botanical Garden today. What a cute Daddy-Daughter Date! All Tim's idea... So sweet!

Pointing out a well-camouflaged monarch butterfly.

This is how my hair looks when mom's not there for the picture!

Then and now...

Hard to believe it's been a year since baby Corinne enjoyed her first ASU football game! It's amazing to see how much she has changed. All credit for the adorable sparky tu tu goes to my talented sis-in-law Lindsey! GO DEVILS!

2009

Definitely not the greatest pic, but my camera's battery died right after this shot!

First wagon ride!

Here's our little diva chillin' in her new wagon. She absolutely LOVES it! Thank you Gaga and Gampa Smith!

The following week I took her to the park just before nap time. I felt like such a terrible mom when she crashed on the way home! She was out! I tried to cushion her head with the diaper bag because there was no waking her up! I marvel at how babies can sleep in the strangest places and positions!

So sweet! I love her so much!

Corinne's 1st Birthday!

Corinne Lynae turned ONE on January 2, 2009! Here's a few pics from her birthday party! We celebrated on January 17th. It was a perfect day with beautiful weather. I'm so glad we'll get to celebrate her birthday each year when it's COOL!

A few pictures of our princess BEFORE the birthday cake aftermath!

Corinne had impressions taken of her hand and foot that will later become a ceramic birthday plate we can hang on her wall. I'll post pictures of it when I get it back. Thanks Michelle! If anyone wants her contact info, she's listed here under my favorite sites. She and her products are amazing!

Now time for the sticky birthday cake mess! What fun it is to be ONE!

She loves to swing!

Daddy & birthday girl!

Thanks for the wagon Gaga and Gampa!! And thank you to everyone else for the gifts and for coming to celebrate with me! Love you all!

Trip to Flagstaff!

We stopped at Montezuma's Castle on our way up to Flagstaff. It was really cool. Tim had been once before, but this was my first time. It reminded me of when I wanted to be an archeologist. Once I learned I had to be gifted in math to pursue that vocation, I quickly changed my mind!

But I've always had an appreciation for historical sites such as this. It certainly is a hidden gem in northern Arizona!

Corinne quite enjoyed the little walk as well. The weather was absolutely beautiful. I love these massive trees and their fall-colored leaves.

And oh, how we love this little princess!

Our Christmas photo... that we never sent!

More to come! I promise I won't wait another 2 months before posting Christmas & Corinne's Birthday pics!!! Our little darling turned ONE on January 2nd (Our 5th-Year Wedding Anniversary)! Tim & I can't think of a greater gift than our sweet baby girl. My, how fast this first year has gone... We look forward to our future together! 

Happy New Year to all!

More catch up...Thanksgiving!

Corinne certainly enjoyed all the delicious food! Especially the banana cream pie!

"Reed Rocketfest" was a hit, as usual. Here's Papa with his soda can specialty! 

Look out!!!

Pretty good eh?! We were all surprised how far it flew! 

Speaking of "surprised", Rinney Roo got the shock of her life!! 

But she recovered... Though, check out that face! She's still not so sure about this rocket thing!

Daddy & Corinne enjoying the beautiful weather...

The loves of my life...

One of my all-time FAVORITE pictures of Tim & Corinne...

We had such a fabulous time!

Thank you to everyone for the delicious food and wonderful company! Love you all!
