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!

Catch up...

I am certainly the world's WORST blogger! Bear with me as I play "catch up" for the past few months... Shall we begin with Halloween??!

Of course, we visited Corinne's BFF (cousin Breezy) in the hospital. This little beauty received her first round of chemo that day. I am continually amazed at her strength as well as that of her wonderful parents! We just KNOW that she'll get better soon. Thank you again to those who continue to pray, fast and render service in her behalf. 

Isn't she a doll? Sweet Baby Minnie! I love that both girls were dressed up as Disney characters! And no, Kari and I didn't plan that! It was BFF destiny!

This is about the only "treat" she got for Halloween... Her "ba ba"!

She was one tuckered out Tinkerbell!
