Happy Birthday! Early in the morning
One year old exactly at 5:58 p.m.
Amber claims that Gabe is teaching Elle to be a druggie. Gabe retorts, "Not so . . . simply better living through chemistry."
Fun to be one!
Uh... you have a little piece of cake on your face. - Did you get it?. . . no, it's still there.

Reaching out to feel the rain falling for the first time

Father's day - Amber and Elle made a banner for papa (he loved it)
A "first" birthday party for our neighborhood friends. Amber organized a party for all the kids that would be turning one at about the same time.

We tie-died onesies for the party activity
Elle's friends: Lyla, Lily, Ava, Justus, and Brenden

A surprise baby shower for Amber thrown by her library group friends
Up to this point, Elle has hated any body of water - from the ocean to the pool. Elle decided to conquer her fears at the beach on Independence Day - how appropriate.

Now she can't get enough of the pool. We're so proud

Good Bye Ole' Paint!

Friday Night (July 6, 2007) we were on our way from Mark's house to crash at the hotel, but we crashed before we got there! Two girls from Idaho Falls ran a stop sign and hit us broad side. The car spun sideways, slid on the passenger side for about 30 feet, then flipped onto its top. Miraculously, nobody in either car was seriously hurt. Chiq, Sarah and I were in the Ford. Sarah came out the worst with a gnarly road rash on her left forearm, but other than that we mostly just had minor cuts and bruises. The crazy part was that we had brought all the mementos from Grandpa Roy and Grandma Terry that were in our garage, and the back of the car was packed full of all that stuff. The biggest casualty was the china. A few pieces survived, but most of it ended up broken on the street. Any way, here are few pix.

Happy Fathe's Day/4th of July/Lucy's 1st Birthday!

In no particular order here are some picutres of the Perez Family. We have had fun these past couple of days celebrating.

My First American Flag Cake. I thought it turned out cute if I do say so myself.

Lucy was in heaven!!
She decided to put the whole plate in her face. 4th of July photo shoot.

She is practincing for the color guard.

She got mad by the end and would NOT smile.
Zach and Amber keeping Lucy occupied at the fireworks.

Paul, Amelia and Franny keepin' it real.

Ok so these are old but I thought they were cute. Cesar's first Father's day was this year. Here is Lucy giving him a kiss.

Aren' they sweet?
