February 2014: Beau's First Birthday!

February 16th: Beau Dunlap's first birthday, at his home with family and cousins for a lovely lunch and delicious chocolate bundt cake:

Beau eyes the chocolate cake and candle
Within seconds, he looks like this!
And when he's done eating, he throws his food on the floor
"What's so funny?"
YOU are, Beau! Happy Birthday chocolate face!
Jess took him a bath soon after this photo was taken

February 17th-19th: Our sweet grandson, Tyler, stayed with us for a few days while Shauna gave birth to his baby sister at the Lovelace Women's Hospital. Although I don't have photos to blog, baby Elise Joanne Hobbs arrived on February 17th! She was a gorgeous newborn baby and our very first granddaughter!

We love our sweet Tyler boy!

February 24th-26th: Hudson stayed with us for a few days so Jess could have a break and try to recover from a bad cold. She and her boys ended up being sick for at least three weeks:

One day, Hudson and I went to a construction site to check out the big machines

This experience was probably the highlight of Hudson's visit

Look at the size of those tires!

A great big bull dozer!
Check out the grill and fan on this monster!

Wish we could have climbed those stairs and sat in the glass cab!


Beautiful Elise Joanne Hobbs! She is the prettiest, sweetest baby girl ever! Congratulations Shauna and Jacob!! We didn't take pictures when we first visited her at the hospital, but these pics were taken during a visit at her home on February 28th. I especially love the second photo:
