Happy First Birthday SWEET LIZZY!!!



It has been a beautiful and crazy year of being the parents of Elizabeth Aubrey Vore! She is the most amazing addition to our family. Almost from day one she has been all smiles. She is strong and independant as well as making it known just how much she needs us. She adores her big brother Paul and laughs at almost anything he does to amuse her.
Lizzy has many talents that she has developed in her short life. She was only a month old when she rolled over, so we knew she was going to be a go getter. She is determined in anything she goes after, and we love to see that fire in her eyes. She loves to clap at anything applause worthy and already knows alot of the hand motions to "patty cake" and "wheels on the bus." She is beginning to learn sign language, and Loves to dance and rock in her little rocking chair.
Lizzy is very small for her age and that makes for suprise looks and comments from people who don't know her, when they see just how smart she is. I think she will be wowing people her whole life.
We both are so thankful to God that he has allowed us to be the parents of this AMAZING little girl, and can't wait to be a part of every single day of her childhood and watch her grow.
We love you Elizabeth!! Happy Birthday Sweet One!

Rockin' Lizzy!

Our Lizzy Explorer




Potty Training

Wow, I can't belive Paul is old enough for potty training! He is doing GREAT! The first picture is of the AWESOME reward chart that Sam made for him. He is so creative. The second picture is a typical boy response to getting new underpants, immediately put them on your head.


Fun Mothers Day and Mommy's Birthday




The Making of the Cake!

Hike

There aren't that many good places to take the family on a hike in our area of the desert, but we did find one decent day hike place and had a good time paking the whole family around.




Playin' in the Yard

We love our back yard! Both Paul and Lizzy could play out there for hours and hours! On this particular day Sam found a Djembe at a yard sale for only $15 and we all LOVE to play it.

Suprise birthday party for Grandma Hire

Unfortunately my camera lost it's charge part way through the weekend, but I was able to capture a few decent pictures before it died.
We all suprised my mom for her birthday, it was fun to have the whole family together.



Grandpa built a new sandbox for the grandkids and it was a HUGE hit for Paul.



All the beautiful girl cousins together

The Kids being just plain cute!!

Lizzy got out of her P.J.'s a bit and it looked like she grew a 3rd foot...hahaha.
