Valadez Clan

Grandpa Valadez came to visit a couple of weeks ago...we were excited to see him and Lisa! We had a little barbecue with the fam and played with Layla and Xander all day. Layla is still bigger than Xander but, I have a feeling he will catch up very soon.
We celebrated Jayson's birthday last week. We went to dinner with the Van Wagoner clan at Jayson's favorite restaurant...Roma's, and it was delicious:) We also celebrated with a BBQ to test out Jayson's birthday present, a meat smoker. He is becoming a great cook in his old age!
Layla is working on sitting up. She is determined to lift her head and flex her belly when she is reclined in anything...her car seat, on the couch and sitting on moms lap. She has also been developing a silly laugh lately! Jayson thought it was her faking a cough, but that is how she thinks a laugh should sound. It is hilarious.
I am getting very excited for the holidays. I can't wait to dress Layla up in holiday cheer...now that halloween is over. She was a very adorable bunny rabbit for halloween.
