Cross Country

So, I am sorry that it has taken so long to update our blog but we spent about 3 weeks in Arizona and traveling across the country and so I couldn't update it for a while. We had a great trip with my mom and we were so glad that we got to spend so much time with her and with Mike and Janette. We love you all so much and thank you for letting be there with you guys. It was a really hard decision for you I am sure!! NOT!!! Vance loved you all and we hope to spend more time with you soon.
Here is my Great Grandma Gay. She is the reason that we took this trip to Arizona and we are so glad that we went and saw her. She just loved Vance. It was great to see her.
Vance and Grandma sharing sucker time.
I can't talk now there is a sucker that needs some attention.
Vance and Aunt Amie playing the piano. He got so protective when it came to sitting at the piano and playing it. He even threw himself on the keys so that Aunt Amie couln't play. Uh oh what does that mean?
What? I have something on my face? I wonder what it could be.
AH HA!!! That is what it was.
An atempt to wipe away the evidence.
Here is a picture that has five generations. It goes Vance, Me, Grandma Bryant, Great Grandma Holladay, and Great Great Grandma Gay. It may not be the right five generations but there it is.
Vance and his Aunt Nana. There's no one like Aunt Nana.
Vance just wanted a kiss but it looks like Kelsie wanted to bite his nose. This was just so cute they just love each other.
Hurray for football. This is great.
Kelsie says "Wow that is a big balloon" and Vance says "Yeah!"
Vance keeping one eye on the game while Kelsie is watching that balloon.
He is kissing me!!!
Static electricity.
We were going elk bugling and Vance just loved the bugle. He was pretty good at it too. When we were out with the spot light and Amie blew in the bugle Vance would copy the sound without the bugle and it was just so funny.


We went to visit my cousin Keisha and her son Cannon who is a month older than Vance and they just had a good time playing around.

I SCREAM YOU SCREAM WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!!! We had to get Vance his first DQ ice cream cone from Aunt Terri so here is the documentation.


MMMMMMMMMMM!!! This is great.
Life is gooooooood.
Are you looking at my Cone? Bring it on punk!!!
Vance loved Curtis's fishing pole and kept finding it even when I hid it. He is a natural. Are you proud Uncle Merrill?

Here we are at the Show Low football game.

At the Show Low football game Coach Jack Tengyel, from Marshall University and the movie We are Marshall, came and so we just had to take a picture for Curtis.
Vance loved to climb the stairs at Grandma and Grandpa Birdnos house but he couldn't get down off the stairs so I came in to help him and I saw him just laying on the step yelling for me and I just had to take a quick picture of it.
Curtis had a dinosaur called little foot when he was a boy and Janette gave him to me to let Vance have him and I was trying to use him to cheer Vance up and he did love him but it these pictures it doesn't look like it.

Ok these firs two pictures are at the beginning of our trip from Kentucky and how big the push pop was. Vance just thought he was in heaven. HEY you would use it too if you had to drive for 25 hours!!!!

These pictures are from the ride home. He just lit up when I gave him this sucker. It was great.

I like to call this group of photos I LOVE CHEETOS!!!!!!! It is self explanitory.





Thank you Grandma for the DVD player. I am so happy.
