Just Walkin'

Here are a few pictures from our walk this morning, nothing too exciting, but they are cute!!

Upclose Tripp in his stroller.

Katie finding a blue packing ribbon (plastic). She is still holding that ribbon an hour later!

Watching it blow in the wind.

She was trying to make it dance....she hasn't learned the difference between animated and non-animated objects!

Pointing out a dead worm with the ribbon, she is really into worms lately...ugh.

Every five minutes she would ask if I wanted to hold it, I guess this little ribbon was more important than we think?!

Taunting Tripp with the ribbon.

Happy little dude, he loves our walks!!

I know it's almost exactly like the picture above but he's so cute!!!

Saturday Morning Fun!!

This morning the local library in Red Lion had a "Daddy and Doughnuts" story time and as you can see there was a special appearance by Downtown, the mascot for the York Revolution baseball team. Of course all of the Mom's went along and as soon as Katie saw Downtown come in to the library she wanted Mommy to hold her, so that's the reason that I'm in the picture and not Nat. It was a lot of fun and all of the kids really seemed to enjoy themselves and nothing brings in the crowds like the promise of free doughnuts!!

Scott, Maddux and Downtown.

Brandon and Chase with Downtown.

Katie in a little reading nook.

Maddux peeking out of the reading loft.

Nat and Katie enjoying their doughnuts........isn't she so lady like?!

Nat and Katie sharing "Rainbow Fish", a book that Katie LOVES.

Friday Action Shots!

We had a very full day here at the Burt household, here are some few choice shots from the day!

Katie playing peek-a-boo with Tripp.

Being a ham.

Everybody playing and happy, pretty cool and rare!

Don't ask what she was doing because I'm not really sure, who drinks bath water??

Tripp playing with his new toy, he really liked the fact that he could chew on it the best!

Me and my sweet little nephew, we get some bonding time when Katie's asleep......don't tell her!!

After dinner Scott and Maddux came over to play, then Drew the little boy next door came out to join in. We all joke that Maddux grabs the pink lawn mower every time he comes over, we have to get him a blue one soon! 

Even Callie, Drew's dog, eventually came out to play.

Katie, between my legs, after a failed attempt at a somersault.

Playin' in the sandbox.

Poor Katie scraped her knee, she just stuck her thumb in her mouth and watch Maddux play.

She can sing!!

Katie and I have been singing a LOT lately and as you can tell she is picking some of it up!! Here is her current favorite, Ba Ba Blacksheep. Oh and I apologize that my voice is so loud, I can't figure out a way to get her voice louder and hold the camera.......enjoy!

more tunes.......

Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Learning to smile.....

We have been practicing "smiling", you would think that growing up in front of the camera she would have learned that, but somehow I have failed her! The first picture was from last night, notice the extra barrettes in her hair........she likes to do her own hair once in a while.

Running with the soccer ball while playing outside today, trying to run and smile is somewhat difficult.

She has already decided on cocking her head to one side is a good look for her smile!

I just took this picture about 5 minutes ago, after dinner at the club, before we were able to clean off her face. Oh and she really likes my purple scarf that Karen got me for my birthday, I was able to wear it out but not home!!

Tripp's Baptism

Today was another big exciting day for the family, it was Tripp's baptism. I have to apologize for the quality of the pictures, we weren't allowed to use the flash in the church and I was sitting on the end of the pew furthest from where the baptism was taking place. It was a beautiful service  and Tripp did really well,  he's such a good baby!!

Getting baptized by Dr. John Morgan, the same minister that baptized Katie.

I took a picture of the program from the church just in case we forgot the actual program.

After the baptism in church, this was the only picture I had of his gown.

Grammy feeding Tripp........we were all ready for a nice meal after the service!

Pop and Tripp.

Katie having a snack.

Katie getting a squeeze from Pop.

Aunt Izzie eating Katie's belly.

Katie jumping on Izzie.........who knew she was such a good jungle gym.

Tripp taking a breather from the party.

Tripp sporting his new hat, we all loved it!!

Birthday's All Around!!

Today was such a busy day!! We had Nat's Dad's birthday today, Happy Birthday Grandpa and my Mom's birthday this coming Tuesday, but since Sarah and Tim are home we decided to celebrate it today!! (Sarah and Tim are home for Tripp's baptism tomorrow....more on that later) We started off the day by going to get our nails done, Katie, me, Sarah and Mom went and as you can see Katie was very interested in the whole process and was a little mad when Nat came to pick her up and bring her home for nap time!!

After nap we went to my parents house to celebrate Mom's birthday and Aunt Sarah was happy to indulge Katie in some story time!

Aunt Izzie and Katie sharing a cookie.......oh what fun Aunt Izzie is!

A cute silhouette.

Helping Grammy open her presents.

Yummy cake, Happy Birthday Grammy!

Aunt Sarah painting Katie's nails, after all the girl did miss her pampering at the salon!

From Grammy's party to Grandpa's party, Happy Birthday Grandpa!!(another delicious cake!)

Katie and her Grandpa.

Helping Grandpa blow out his candle.

Talking to her cousins Samantha and Natalie.

Grandpa got one of those cards that laughs when you open it, guess who thought it was hilarious?

Playing ball with cousin Kate, oh and sometimes Minnie Mouse got tossed around too.

It was a long, busy day, but it is always fun to help celebrate birthday's with our favorite people in the whole world............we love you Grammy and Grandpa!!!
