Calling All Diggers...

Calling All Diggers...

We went to Jackson's 2nd birthday party this morning. It was a digging/construction party! So fun!

Jackson, Pierce and Kate digging...
Kate had a blast...

I think she is ready for the beach...
Bryn had fun too...right after I took this picture I looked down to find one of the trucks from the sand in her mouth. I guess she wanted to dig too...
Sweet Sean...
Parker is telling Kate that a real digger truck is coming...
Pierce loved the real digger!
I am pretty sure Kate only cared bc Pierce was up there. She preferred digging in the sand...


She did try to drive it...
This picture cracks me up...Pierce is so excited! Kate...well, her face says it all.
The birthday boy and his cake!

Safari Park

Today we tried out the new Indoor Safari Park that opened by our house. Joanna and I took Pierce and Kate and had no idea what to expect...but it was a big hit! I took over 200 pictures...oh my! Here are a few of my favorites....

The ball pit...




Train ride #1...

More slides and balls...

Putting on their safari hats...



Pierce riding the robotic animals...



Kate's turn on the zebra!






Jumping on the trampoline...
Playing trains...
The littles just hanging out. Sweet Stella fell asleep...
Train ride #2...
Choo! Choo!

Time to go...holding hands walking out to the car.

These 2 are quite the pair. They played for almost 2 hours and loved every minute of it!!!

TuTu pjs

I heart TuTu pajamas. When I pulled out the 9-12 month clothes from Kate I found these...
They were Kate's 1st pair of TuTu pjs. I think she has had a pair in every size since!


And what's better than a pair of TuTu pajamas?


2 pair...with the cutest girls in them!


We are in a fun stage with the girls. Bryn is starting to "talk" and "do" things. She is saying Ma-Ma and Da-Da (not consistently, but enough that we can document it!) And she will sometimes clap when we say clap. Kate loves trying to get her to say words and clap. It is so cute to watch.


And Bryn LOVES her big sister. Call me crazy, but I think Bryn is trying to say "Kate." When Bryn and I go in Kate's room to get her in the morning and after her nap she usually makes the "t" sound. I wouldn't think much of it, but she does it almost every time and that is the only time she does it.

Sweet sister hugs!

All About Daddy

Kate (with a little help from Mommy) made a card for Parker for Father's day...

I asked her questions about Daddy and these were her answers. I thought she did pretty well!
Byrn's Father's Day gift was to start saying Da-Da!

Happy Father's Day Parker!!! Kate and Bryn love you so much!!!

Backyard Swim

Today we went for a little backyard swim...

Tablescraps

My dad asked me this question about 2 weeks ago...and I quote...When is she (Brynlee) going to start eating TABLESCRAPS? At first I thought I misunderstood him...we were in a loud restuarant. But no, that is exactly what he asked...tablescraps...really Dad


So Dad, this is for you...

As of the past few days Bryn has had watermelon, blueberries, baby goldfish and black-eyed peas that haven't been pureed or smashed. I do love the stage when they can begin feeding themselves more!
