Floating along
Audrey (I'm not a proud mom at all!) is such a fish! She loves swimming and with her floaties on, she can swim on her own! So now that she's realized how wonderful those floaties are, they are her new favorite thing in and out of the pool.
Wagon love and addiction
We bought Audrey a wagon for her birthday. It's funny because she won't sit in the stroller much anymore because it's for babies but she will sit for forever in her big girl wagon!
Happy 1st Birthday, Audrey Elise!
It is late, I know, but on Cinco de Mayo we celebrated Audrey's first birthday! First, let me say how fast the first year went! Audrey has brought so much joy and laughter into our lives! She is so sweet and loves playing and laughing. She is so good at her "fake" laugh and loves playing "where's Audrey" and (I love it!) especially loves cuddling. She is so beautiful and has a sweet spirit about her. I thank the Lord every day for this sweet blessing!
Ok, back to the birthday party, we had Grandma and Grandpa Hanchett, Nana and Papa Van Vleet, Aunt Jilly, Great Grandma n Grandpa Hanchett, our wonderful neighbors-the Flegers, Doug n Brenda, Jess n Brian, Jim n Sara, the Greens and a few others. It was quite the "small" party!
Lyle and I made the cake, and Krista and I made the alphabet cupcakes.
Audrey got quite the haul for a little one year old! Tricycle, peek-a-boo blocks, popper walker, clothes, a singing cooking pot, books, and her first baby dolls.
Once we blew out the candle, she did pretty good at diving in considering she was sick and couldn't keep any food down...poor thing!
She was such a good sport and of course loved all the attention!
We love you, Audrey Elise!

The Haboob
Yes, that is really a true word...it's what a huge dust storm is called during a monsoon and we experienced one last night. It was pretty cool! Lyle just pulled in from work and mentioned for me to look outside. When I did, there was a huge dark cloud that was moving so fast towards the north...this was at 7pm when the sun was still out but once the haboob hit us, it was instant night.
What happens is during a monsoon storm, the clouds all gather and drop cold rain and when the rain stops it continues to force cold air down which then picks up the dust and forces a huge wall of dust forward.

This was before we ran into the house.
And this was 30 minutes after.
This was the next day...our cars were covered with dust.
