Loftis Men

Here we are with another four generations of Loftis Men:
Papa Darrell, Andrew, Dustin, and Great Grandpa Guy


Andrew had enough of picture time and ninja-ed his way out of his daddy's grasp.

OKC Zoo

Nana and Papa wanted to take Andrew to the zoo while we were in town and we weren't almost able to go because of the crazy Oklahoma weather, but on the day before we were to fly out, we were granted with some fantastic sunshine.

We had to stop at the petting zoo so that Andrew could get up close and personal with the animals.  I don't think he was too amused by the goat...or its butt.




Nana wasn't afraid to make a new friend.


Andrew decided he had had enough with the goats and didn't want to pet them anymore.

Andrew had a great time looking at all the animals and can't wait to come back again!

After Party

Andrew was a little overwhelmed during his party (weren't we all?), so after the majority of our guests left, Andrew needed a little down time.  How did we get him to calm down?

Put some bunny ears on his head and give him a shrimp chip to gnaw on!


Nothing like kicking back...


This makes him look like a girl, but it's too funny not to post!


We were pretty sure he ate about a dozen of the shrimp chips.

I don't think he was too excited about them.  :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!  (I know that I am over a week late saying that...)  The past couple of weeks have flown by and I apologize for not getting pictures up sooner.  Andrew had a fantastic time in Oklahoma spending time with his extended family from OK and KS.  We celebrated his first birthday with all of our family and friends back home - which reached a grand total of about 50!

My aunt in Wichita (who also made our wedding cake) made Andrew's birthday cake and she even put a sock monkey on it just like the one that was on his invitation!  How precious!


We were also celebrating Papa Darrell's initiation into the Catholic Church.  Darrell was welcomed into the Church during Easter Vigil Mass. 


Nana Fonda bought Andrew his birthday outfit complete with matching sock monkey shirt and birthday hat!


The hat had ribbons to help keep it on his head, but it reminded me of something a princess would wear...


Our little family...



Andrew decided that he wanted a taste of the birthday cake right away.


Andrew's grandparents:
Nana, Papa, Ba Ngoai, and Ong Ngoai


He had a great birthday party and received TONS of presents.  So many that we had to ship a box home.  :)
