What a great YEAR!

Mom's realized she's forgotten a few photos along the way;
too many cameras to keep track of now that those
"smart" phones can do it all :)

My VERY FIRST mule ride!!
I can see why dad likes festus,
he's a smooth ride!

Olivia and I continue to occupy each other,
today I was teaching her how to eat rocks....
for some reason I was the only one who
found it funny!

oh, and after watching Grandpa Dave ride Festus
I realized I was missing something
VERY IMPORTANT
to learn about riding,
you can multi-task....
if it's a good mule you don't need to hang on!
but the beer can't be trusted, 2 hands ;)

This is me continuing to work on
looking intimidating to qualify for
"ring security"
from being ring-bearer at
 Aunt Coley's wedding!

oh, and I can't believe I even let
mom put this picture on here :(
We spent a late evening at my uncle Brandon's
and they decided I should borrow a pair
of Olivia's PJ's for bedtime in case I fell
asleep on the car ride home...
then I'd be all ready for bed.
Well THIS is what they woke up too--
NOT FUNNY.

Once upon a time it was a nice day in early May,
nice enough to be in swimsuits and water, outside even!!
Well here's what my crazy  Kuehn cousins decided
 to do to pass the time....
mom wasn't about to let me join in the fun just yet :(

But I DO love being outside;
I particularly love playing with my tools
on the front porch and swinging too:0

The last time you seen me walking I
was just learning; well let's say I'm a
FAST LEARNER and
I've TAKEN OFF!



It was sad to say goodbye to my
great-grandpa Don Gibbs,
I hear amazing stories of this grand man
and he will be missed.

Wait, I was supposed to smile not scream!



Oh, and I had my very FIRST birthday party:)
We celebrated a little early this year
because it's such a busy month
and my Auntie Nicole was home from TX,
 she even picked out this really cool cake for me!




The best part of the party was playing with
all my cousins!



so lucky to have such wonderful family
celebrate with me!

At least someone's excited for cake....mom!
I just want to play with the fire,
let me at it.....I know how to put this out ;0

you want me to do WHAT with THIS?
Not a huge cake fan.....YET
but luckily mom is-- no waste here!

Grandpa Tom was nervous of all the
mule riding I've been doing so he thought
he better intervene now to get me
started on the harley so I can go
out on adventures with him too, SOON!
But this ride takes both hands to run!





mommy's trying to wean me from
breast-feeding so she gave me this silly
sippy cup, my favorite thing to do with
it is throw it on the floor!

I'm always up for cleaning!

Well again,
I'm a FAST learner!

what do you think Grandpa Beer,
I got the look down!

now.....to get it to go faster
I just push down right?!

Even got a rebel tattoo!!
Staying true to my heart,
it says "mom" :)

I guess mom would say I have an infatuation
with my silky blankies...
I really like to snuggle with it.
If it's laying on the floor I crash right into it and cozy up!
EVERY morning when I wake up I stand in the
corner of my crib and cry until someone gets me,
except mom thinks I'm crying because I'm trying
to snuggle my blankie but I'm standing on it
so I can't quite get it up to my cheek!
It's definitely the next best thing to mom!
