Our Long Full Day....

Today we had a long, but fun day and I'm sorry but there are a ton of pictures again. We started the day at the pool and then after nap time we took at trip to Rudy Park for the DiAngelo Family Reunion, it was a long day but we still managed to have some play time with Maddux when we got home. Enjoy the pictures from our long day, and have an enjoyable Labor Day weekend.
Jumping to Daddy in the pool.
Happy swimmer.


New toy alert, if you have a pool nearby and a toddler bring along a paintbrush and let them paint the pool deck. Lots of fun and no mess!! (Thanks Grammy)
More painting, she really liked making "pitures".
She also stole a noodle from another family....hehe we have a thief in the family.

Uncle Jarrett helping Katie up the steps.
Katie and Nat, she was trying to grab the camera.
After all of that playtime she needed a chocolate break.
Maddux eating the rind of the watermelon.
Maddux tried to use Katie's sand tools so as a proactive move she yanked them out of his hands and chucked them across the patio. She's a tough playmate.

Happy Birthday Uncle Doug....

Today we spent the afternoon down at my sister Liz's in-laws house for a combined surprise 30th birthday party for her husband Doug, Katie's uncle, and a surprise going away party for his brother Drew. The funny thing about the party is that each one of the boys knew about the party, but thought it was for the other one, so it ended up being a surprise for both. It really was a surprise....how funny is that!!
Mom and Katie doing a "pat-pat" for rocket (Little Einsteins).

What to do on a rainy day.

Tropical storm Fay finally headed our way which made outside play impossible. We had an indoor day filled with snacks, coloring, and watching cartoons. Katie donned another ponytail today, we had some out of control curls due to humidity, and although she looks like a older girl it's still easy.
Here is how much extra hair she has in the back, incredible!
Making a masterpiece.
Checking out her options.
She likes to sample her writing instruments.
Just being happy.
Hope everybody has a HAPPY LABOR DAY weekend!!

Pictures from the day....

Artsy picture.

Katie working on her sharing skills with Maddux.

Katie is in the imitation stage and wants to do everything that I do, including watering my flowers. Maybe she can keep them alive?

I just thought this was a funny picture, she couldn't figure out what this was and what she should do with it.
Right before dinner we were chasing each other around the house and everytime we would meet I would take a picture, here are my favorite happy, crazy, laughing Kate.


She was belly laughing at this point!!

Playing with Addison

Today Katie and I took a trip down to Annapolis to visit with Karen and Addison. We had lunch, went shopping and went to My Gym with Addison. Katie had sooooo much fun at My Gym, the hour of play went by in a flash and I really don't think Katie wanted to leave. I wish more of my pictures would have turned out, we are getting a new camera this weekend, but here are the least blurry of the bunch. ENJOY!!!

Katie surfing the trampoline. She would bounce so long that she would plop over on her stomach just for a break!!
Climbing up and down the ladders.
