Nana's Birthday

OK, I admit it! I am WAY behind.

The end of August we got to celebrate a very
special occasion...Nana's Birthday.

Uncle Pete & Uncle Joe were there....



Auntie Ame was there

Cousin Anna was there looking cute as ever...

Nora Jane & Daddy were there...

and of course the birthday girl herself....

Nana! With Gracie right on her lap of course!

And it wouldn't be a proper birthday without a

cake....

who said birds & cats can't get along?

kiddy hawk is potty trained!! we have hello kitty to thank for this amazing feat! daddy hawk was skeptical when lady hawk came home with gifts to bribe dear gracie to go in the potty. tsk tsk! mommy always knows best, plus mommy loves hello kitty as well.... i can't wait to buy more outfits to play dressup, um, i mean for gracie to play dressup!


thank you hello kitty from the hawksnest!

Good times at Los Lynches

Gracie always asks, "when we going to auntie anne uncle scott teaghan maeve's". poor "anyan" isn't old enough to be listed yet.

Here are some photos from Los Lynches backyard paradise:

Here's cousin & my little god daughter Sienna strolling around. Isn't she a doll?



I'm thinking leather & a harley down the road....


Here's Auntie Anne finally making a guest appearance on the hawks nest! Nora Jane definitely doesn't scare her with her fussy antics.


Gracie having fun with Sienna & Skylar in the sandbox...Skylar is always super sweet to baby Gracie.

Move aside frenemy Maeve, I got a bigger challenge...notice no smiles here..

Hi Friends,

Sorry for the long hiatus. Things just got too busy for a bit. Here are some photos to give you an idea of what a GREAT summer it has been for the Hawkins. MORE TO COME.....

Nora Jane Turning 1 - even a sweet little cutie like her falls victim to Mommy's sweet tooth!


For fun in the sun, all you need is a swimsuit & a good hat, right?


...and a nice pair of shades too.....


oh, and don't forget your 2 favorite frenemies
