July 4th Horne Family Reunion

Hey all,

Okay I know it has been FOREVER since my last post and I apologize for neglecting my poor blog and those of you (if any) that still check it out every once in a while.That being said, I have some really adorable pictures to share.

This year we decided as a family that we should do a Horne family reunion because we won't all be together for Christmas like we normally would be this year, and also because seeing your family only once a year is just sad. 

We were really looking forward to seeing everybody, but we especially couldn't wait for Gianni to play with his cousins (which are all girls by the way). This is the first time that he has really played with them all. I think that the last time we were all together was Thanksgiving of last year and he was just barely cruising around on furniture (crazy how fast they grow). This get together involved a little bit more running, chasing, hugging, kissing, occasionally pushing, and much more fun.

Before I forget, I want to make sure that I thank my brother Ryan and his wife Jennie for having us all at their beautiful home. They were amazing hosts and made our trip so much fun and so relaxing, the sure sign of great hospitality. Thanks a ton you guys!!!

On to some adorable pictures and videos. I apologize for posting so may, believe me when I say I had a terrible time picking my favorites! I hope you enjoy them.
Pool Party!!!
She kept touching his head and saying "Hair"
This is probably the best candid shot ever, I just about died after I went back and looked at my pictures.
Cutie pie Emma
These are the sweetest shopping carts ever! They were adorable in it, I couldn't resist.
New outfit, He's looking for his phone
Munching at the baseball game
Checking out the swarm of bugs gathered around the stadium lights
Clapping with the music. 
Oh, and don't ask me why but Gianni renewed his love for his Binky on this trip.The best part is that he never puts it is straight, it is always off to the side and he mostly just bites it. Silly kid.
Feeding Emma...something...
Kissses
I love this picture, it makes me smile. Emma is in the background "sipping" on some soda, Gianni is biting a Binky he found in my purse while sitting on my purse, and My dad, trying to get Gianni interested in that baseball. Priceless.
I need a girl so that I can do cute things to her hair! I am sadly out of touch in that area.
I LOVE this girl.
Watching the fireworks
Gianni, Grandma Horne, and Gabi
Isaac, Keitra and cute little Madi
Ignore the black eyes please, It was a long day. Focus on that adorable little girl I'm holding :)
 grandpa and Gianni watching Ryan and Domenic light the fireworks
Candy dive! We were working on the whole concept of putting candy into the bag instead of sawdust.
again...
Dear Madi, you are a beautiful baby and I want to steal you, ask your parents k?
Haha, what is going on in this picture you ask? I have no idea, and I love it.
Happy birthday Ryan and Jennie! Jennie's b-day was the 3rd, and ry's was the 4th.
Licking off the icing from the candles, a girl after my own heart.
Gabi's cake
All I have to say is that it's a good think his shirt was the same color as the icing...
Just for kicks, a firework picture.

Skype

I love skype. Even though we are hundreds of miles way from my parents, we can still see them whenever there is a computer and internet. Today I skyped my padres and even though I cant take any snapshots of them from my mac (at least i havent figured it out yet...) they managed to take a bajillion of Gianni. Here are some of the pictures they took :)







He wasn't too excited about wearing my headband.


Toothy Grin
Checking out the i-pod.....
...talking on it like it's a phone.

Even though it is a huge battle trying to keep Gianni from pounding on the computer or closing the screen while i'm trying to skype, it is worth it for him to see his grandparents in Boise. We love and miss you guys!

One Year (Part One)

I know this is very late(over a month actually) , but  I thought I would share a few pictures of Gianni's first birthday! These Pictures were taken birthday morning, I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did taking them. Sorry for the lack of detail, I have to quickly post so I can chase Gianni down again.




 Walking! (He actually started walking about 2 weeks before his birthday)



 Birthday Breakfast! Blueberry pancakes, eggs, and bacon. YUM!






More pictures to come!!!
