Pictures & Paz's

Good morning, our little two year old!

And here's our soon to be one year old!

This picture cracks me up because GG hates the flash on my camera so she squeezes her eyes shut very tight and thinks it's hilarious. Look at those chubby cheeks and chins - you just want to squeeze and hug her!

We headed to the park in the morning for Annabelle's 2 year and Gwyneth's 11 month portraits. Our friend, Keith, is a great photographer and was willing to endure the madness that is my girls for the photo shoot. He even took some photos of YaYa with the girls (Madison too!). Annabelle kept poor Keith on his toes and had him running all around the park. We were also lucky enough to see Jennifer, Jack, and Ben too. They joined Keith for the outing. I can't wait to see the pictures! My girls are so comfortable with Keith he was able to get some great smiles out of them. I can hardly wait for a sneak peak.

YaYa and I picked up lunch at Schlotsky's (her favorite) and soon after my two little ones were off to sleep. YaYa and I snuck off for a quick manicure/pedicure. It was wonderful! Sadly, we had to say goodbye to YaYa today, but luckily we'll get to see her in just two short weeks when we head to Chicago and then she's coming back to Colorado for Gwyneth's 1st birthday at the end of next month.

My Uncle Jerry (my dad's brother) and his family were in CO for my cousin Ashley's wedding. Unfortunately the wedding was the same day as Annabelle's birthday party so we were unable to attend. Uncle Jerry, Aunt Barb, my cousins (5 of the 7), their spouses, and their children came over to our house for a cookout. It was so great to see everyone and we had a full house! I haven't seen some of my cousins in over 10 years. I'm so glad Annabelle & Gwyneth were able to meet more of their extended family. My Uncle Jerry sounds a lot like my dad which was pretty entertaining - Annabelle and Gwyneth looked at him with a lot of curiosity. They knew he wasn't their Poppy but were very confused.

Cousins!

The girls had a blast playing in the backyard together. More cousins!And even more Paz cousins!

The next generation....

The sweet little boy pictured above is my cousin, Chris and Rebekah's little guy, Ian. I can't get enough of him. He's such a sweet little baby and I'm so glad I finally met him. My cousin Chris is right in between Stacy and I in age and I remember spending so much time with him and his sisters when we were kids. It's amazing that we all have children now. I also really enjoy that Chris' wife's name is Rebekah Paz and my sister's name is Rebecca Paz. If there weren't hundreds of Kelly Meyer's in this world I'd have to make fun of them! I gave them grief about it anyway and apparently it causes some family mix-ups on facebook which tickles me too.
