Happy Birthday Ahleah!

Here is the Ahleah in her pretty red birthday dress that Grandpa gave her! She was very happy all day. I think she was a little overwhelmed by all of the guests. Ahleah was the star of the show and just as cute as could be all day long!

This picture shows the decorations that Andrea made for Ahleah's party!

This is the cake we got for Ahleah's first Birthday!

Here is

Issac, Such a cutie. He has really grown since we have seen him last. I love his cheeks!

My brother Dave and I with our little girls. They are so close in age.

It is a shame they don't see each other more.

Cousin Kyla, a beautiful little girl.

I am always amazed at how much she looks like my brother Dave

Puppy LOVE

Ahleah is completely obsessed with our dog Saydee. She loves to sit in the dog bed with her and "pet" her. Bless her, Saydee has so much patience and has no reaction to all of Ahleah's love for her. Sometimes I even think that she likes it. I do still feel the need to relieve Saydee from all of this love as I do not want her to become overwhelmed.

LeRoi on the other hand loves the children but is never caught by them. He always stays a step ahead so they do not sit on him and pull on him. He will lick them until they move away from him.

They are both such loving animals and I am blessed to have them help us create children that love animals and treat them with respect.

Visiting with Pappy!

Here is Andrea going in for the Cheek Kiss! I wish my camera was faster ont he trigger!

Ahleah is so happy al the time! I love that she smiles at everyone especially her pappy!

Today my dad came for a short visit. He had a meeting in Hershey so he joined us for dinner and got to spent some time with his granddaughters as well. Andrea and Pappy played dolls and Ahleah warmed up quickly.

Momma Kitty

So it has taken Chris and I some time to recover. Andrea left momma kitty at Wolf furniture on sunday. She cried when we found out and ended up sleeping in bed with us (surprise, surprise)on sunday night. She woke up and the first thing she asked for was"momma" She cried a little and the power of distraction worked to get her moving and ready for school. She cried several times on monday while at school for momma. I called Wolfs as soon as it opened and Chris had picked up mamma and she was waiting for Andrea when we got home from school.
Andrea really loves that cat. I almost feel as if she is apart of our family! I am so glad that my sweet Andrea has her lovey back. She is so darn cute when she rubs her face on momma every morning and for every bump she has.

Andrea love to make cookies, cheesecake and other yummy deserts. Today Chris and Andrea make cookies together. They are both so cute in this video. I love watching them enjoy each others company!

This lot of pictures is of Ahleah eating. We have been a little obsessed with taking pictures of her eating! She is so cute with food all over. Ahleah thinks that she is a big girl and can eat everything and anything that she sees on the table while we are eating!

This is my favorite of our Ahleah eating pictures. I love when she wrinkles her nose. She does this when she is happy, sad, surprised, when there is something new, when I talk to her and especially when she is excited.

These faces are for the taste of refried beans. She makes the face but still wants more! I am amazed at the variety of foods that this kid eats. I wish I could say the same for Andrea!

I love these pictures of Andrea. She has such an amazing smile. That is when she is not making these crazy faces. She loves the camera and will always be the star of the show!

Ahleah vs. Pastini

Ahleah thinks that she is a big girl and trys to feed herself. Andrea has the giggles which sounds like music to my ears. Sometimes it is hard to think that this is a daily dinner in the Prybyla household.

She's been growing...

Ahleah is so cute. She is really babbeling all of the time now. That is when she doesn't have a pacifier in her mouth. She says all sorts of things.... Doggie, boobie, turtle, duck, water. She clearly says mommy and daddy. I am not sure if anyone alse hears these words but I surely do. I cannot believe that she will be 1 in 16 days. Her party is planned, guests invited, now I just need to mentally prepare myself. She is more than likely the last baby we will have. I would love another although I do not think it is in our future. Only time will tell.

Scratches on the sky..

Andrea, Chris and I were admiring the sunset this evening while we were in the van on our way home. There were white jet lines in the bright blue sunset sky. Andrea looked at the sky and ask in her lovelyt little girl voice "Who put those scratches on the sky?" Chris explained that the lines int he sky were trails left behind from airplanes that were flying in the sky.
