A day at the Park & Beach!

**Fun Summer days!!!**

"Yeah, I know I'm cute!"

 Little Cousin Hanna!!!

Having a picnic!

Playing on the beach...

"Don't eat the sand, Raina! yucky."

Raina had so much fun today playing with the cousins.
The melt downs started soon after this... so it was time to go home.
Raina took an extra long nap... which was much needed after this busy, fun day!  

EASTER with the COOKS! April 2012

 Easter weekend.
The Cooks flew in Tuesday evening. We had a great time while they were here :) The weather was fabulous!
Ryan took the time off. Bon-fires every night. Great food. And shopping.
Raina got to meet her cousins and Auntie & we got some great pictures!
We had Easter Dinner on Saturday night. They went back to Vegas on Sunday morning.
We love you guys and will miss you!!

 Micheal, Christian, Judy, Raina. What an adorable bunch!!

Great summer weather in April. Pretty sure they brought it from Vegas, because it got cold again when they left.

Bacon wrapped hot dogs roasted over the fire?...

APRIL 2012 ~ Raina 13 months

13 Months ~ Raina is walking!
And getting into everything! If she can reach it, its out.
She loves taking things out! Out of the box, out of the drawers, cupboards...
It's so cute to watch her, and worth every minute I have to spend picking it up when she's done with it!

MARCH 2012

Grandma Cain (Mom) visited for Raina's Birthday.

We had a picnic at the park :)

Raina Turns ONE!!

I cant believe our little baby girl is ONE!

We did have a little Birthday Party.. "cupcake theme"

Grandma Cain even flew from Oregon to be here for her 1st Birthday. Raina's buddy Emma came. And friends were there to help Raina celebrate her special day. Raina had her first cupcake (first sugar) 

She was the life of the party! She cried when it was time to go! Our little party animal...
