June is here! Yippie. I can't believe how fast this year is going, nor how fast little miss Raven is growing. She is such a sweet child. Already have a few for June, so I am starting it early. But remember, check back because I will be adding to this page. {cn} 6.9.2006

Check out this face when I commented on her bathing suit cover up skirt! I don't think she liked my laughing at how cute she was. |
|---|---|
 |
I chased her down to get another one, without the frown. |
 |
It's the first weekend past Memorial Day and the pool is open! Britene had to work this day, but she had been waiting weeks on the pool to open. |
 |
It's not a long walk down to the pool at their new apartment. Raven will hold your hand if you ask. |
 |
I fell back to snap a picture of Mother and Daughter heading to the pool. |
 |
Before getting wet, they took in some sun... you know, to warm up first. |
 |
Going to get off the chair, so I have to put my shoes on. Man is she anal about those shoes! |
 |
Britene got in, but it was pretty dang cold. |
 |
Okay, trying to convince Raven to get in. She doesn't look convinced, does she? |
 |
She talked her Mom into letting her down so she could play the game of "I'll throw it, you go get it". |
 |
Her Mom splashed her. Look at that wild-wind-messed-out hair! Notice it is getting lighter? More time outside... |
 |
Okay, so this is fun. You get wet, I will stay up here. |
 |
It took some convincing, but Britene managed to get Raven in the water. |
 |
Exploring everything inside the fence. |
 |
Laughing at the wind blowing in her face. |
 |
Attempting to give me a high five - or perhaps it was a low five. |
 |
Jabber jabber... she was really talking some "stuff". |
 |
Very very busy with the new shovel. Rocks to move, sand to dig up... you know... |
 |
Her toys weren't real enough I guess, she had to get out the mop to clean up the mess the rocks made. |
 |
Hey, this was one of those pictures I couldn't resist. |
 |
She is such a big help now. I asked her to throw my Redbull can away. This is the return trip. She was so single minded about the whole thing. |
 |
Aunt T, Ta-Ta, Jim, Tanya, Matt, Sara, Brandon, Britene and Glenn and I had a baby shower for Tallen. Thanks everyone for coming up! Raven blows kisses. Not sure if T was to, or moving a stray hair off her face. Either way, it was too cute. |
 |
Britene found one of the candy dishes I put out and Raven came over to investigate. Glenn put her hair up for the day. |
 |
When Mom moved the candy dish away, little miss threw herself in the floor for a quick fit. |
 |
Ta-Ta and Raven played with Raven's new wood puzzle. |
 |
As Britene opens the presents, Raven inspects each one. |
 |
Look, it matches the bedding. Raven is still busy with the last gift so she is behind. |
 |
Raven plays with a truck of Tallen's while the girls share a moment. |
 |
Glenn swoops in for a kiss. Raven is happy to help. |
 |
Asked about her own toys, Raven goes and gets her little "baby" doll, they have been practicing "being gentle" with the baby. Raven plants a kiss that would probably have brother hollaring! |
 |
Oops, Raven has discovered a new purse! Quick, Aunt T, get these things out of my new purse! |
 |
Tallen got a hat, but you know little Raven and hats! |
 |
Ta-Ta got Raven her very own picture album so she can carry around pictures of those that love her. |
 |
The girls just chat after all the gifts are open. |
 |
Aunt T got a big kick out of Raven prissing with her new picture book. |
 |
Close up of that hat on her head. Pretty dang cute. |
 |
She is showing off a picture of her PaPa and her Daddy together. She already recognizes people so the picture album was just in time! |
 |
Raven did a fly-by of the cake and managed a swipe while no one was looking. |
 |
Changing shoes so she can play outside. No sandles because of the little tiny rocks in my yard. |
 |
The Rogers Family, June 17th, 2006. A little too much sun on them, so I moved them for another picture. |
 |
Save this one to your machine and print it out if you like. This is for all the family memembers near and far. |
 |
With Ta-Ta's help, Raven learned to put something in her pocket to carry it. She was pretty happy. |
 |
Ta-Ta moves in for a quick hug during Raven't trip to show her Mommy the water in the pocket trick. |
 |
She has some new furniture all her own. |
 |
One nice thing about 20 months, she is easy to entertain. |
 |
Raven says a big thank you for the chair. |
 |
Or maybe it was for the popsicle! She loves frozen anything. Popsicles, fudge bars, ice cream! |
 |
I think it feels good on the gums. Her canine teeth are coming in. |
 |
Giving us a big grin. There are times (like this one) that she looks more like her Daddy. |
 |
Daddy and Raven hang out while Mommy snaps pictures. Thanks Mom! |
 |
Sweet-sweet baby hugs. Who can resist? |
 |
Raven is going in for a kiss. Look at that concentration. |
 |
Okay, time for a pool run, where her new "purse" comes in handy. |
 |
Raven spends some time talking to brother.... hugging and kissing and chatting him up. He will arrive KNOWING who his big sis is. |
 |
She is being so gentle with Tallen and Mommy. |
 |
Glenn and Raven doing a little mugging. |
 |
Raven and her hats. Whether they fit or not! |
 |
Dressed for an outting. She is styling now! |
 |
Look at that tongue. She also loves her new indoor furniture. |
 |
Someone is getting a little tired. But oh what a sweetie. |
