Our life revolves around...

Nayeli! I think we should just rename this blog to Nayeli's World because that's all I can seem to write about! We really do do other things besides take pictures of our child, I swear! I'm currently back in real estate helping my good friends buy their first home in the Prescott area. There are so many new financing programs for first time home buyers and so many foreclosures that, if you have the savings, good credit, and steady job, it really is a terrific time to buy a home in this area.
Ok, back to what's really interesting...here are some more cute pictures of Nayeli! :)

Random Pictures...

We just love this little human being so much...sometimes we feel like just hugging and kissing her to pieces!(I get love from my daddy all the time! I'm definitely a daddy's girl!)
(I get love from my momma too! I love it when she kisses my ears and cheeks!)

(I can sit up almost all by myself! Sometimes I need a little help though...)

(Look at my baby push-up! The yoga mat's sticky mat sure helps me get a grip. Now all I need is to get my legs under me so that I can start to crawl and raise some havoc!)

(The family all dressed up at Kestrel's graduation! This picture of us all dressed up is as rare as the endangered snow leopard!)

School's Out for Summer! School's Out Forever! (Well, almost...)

We're free! Yipee! Well, Joe is at least, and I'm only free for one week until I have to go back to teach summer school. Our last official day of school was this past Thursday and I don't think I've ever seen the teachers as excited! Now that there's extra time I don't have to play catch up on the blog, at least until June 1.
Here's what's happened thus far:
Nayeli started eating solids! She's a big fan of eating rice cereal. Pretty soon here we'll be feeding her fruits & vegetables and we'll be sure to have a camera on hand for those reactions!
(Yummy! I'm a slave to the spoon! I go into a trance when it is near my mouth....!)
(I'm certainly my daddy's daughter because I finish all my food and then I yell for some more!)


Last week, Joe took his Wilderness class out camping & hiking and Nayeli and I were left to fend for ourselves. Our neighbor, Betty, came to tell me not to go into my carport because she saw a snake slither into it and she wasn't sure if it was a rattle snake or a bull snake. I went down a couple of times with a flashlight to see if I could see it, but no luck. I could hear it though--the snake was big enough to move Joe's 19 foot fiberglass sea kayak around, which was enough to send me and Nayeli running back up our stairs. A professional snake wrangler came to remove the snake and he said that it was the biggest snake he's seen thus far in the season. He guestimated that it was around 6'6'' long when it wasn't constricted. Here are some cool shots of it:
