At the Park!

Currently it's is 80 degree's outside, Katie is fast asleep in the car and I am inside enjoying the breeze while typing away. Sheri, Heather and I all thought that today would be a great day to pack a lunch and hit the park and as you can tell the kids had a blast!
Getting ready to go down the slide.
Maddux mid-stride, he had places to go!
Happy sliding girl!
That's the way you do it!
Chase giving me a smile.
Baby Dylan in the shade.
Lunch!
Eagerly awaiting Maddux coming down the slide.
Upclose on sweet baby Dylan.
Who goes down the slide with their thumbs up?
Sheri and Dylan taking a trip down the little slide.
Using the "hands are for helping, not hitting" rule.......for once!
Everybody ganging up on Sheri and Dylan!!

Ade's 1st Birthday

We had another 1st birthday party to attend this week, Miss Adeline Williams was the hit this week. Her mom had the party at Gymboree and the kids all had a blast! Here are some pictures from the party.

Happy 1st Birthday Ade!
Miss Kristin and Evy brought over a life sized Barbie for Katie, yes she is BIG, and the outfit can either stay on Barbie or on Katie...........it took about two seconds for Katie to decide that she had to have it on!
Cute!

Another Exciting Week!

Can you believe that baby Julia is already 1? We were at her birthday party last weekend and it was a blast, Heather always has the right amount of activities to keep the kids occupied!
Katie playing pin the flower on the stem, actually it's just a sticker so more like put the flower sticker on the stem.
Katie and Heather's niece Allison, every time Ally is over at Heather's Katie just hangs with her. Katie likes to play with bigger girls and Ally likes to baby little girls, it's a perfect match!
Katie in the bounce house.
Believe it or not I think there are about 5 kids in that bounce house, they had a BLAST!
Sweet Julia opening up a present.
She liked the cake!
Last Friday Nat took the day off of work and we headed for the ice skating rink here in York to see how Katie would do. She's been asking to try ever since the Olympics and so I figured with an extra set of hands we would give it a whirl. As you can see above she could walk on the skates right away, which gave me some hope!
But once on the ice she was confused, can you tell, and got frustrated that she couldn't control her movements.
She clung to the wall the entire 7 minutes we spent on the ice.
I think our next visit is about 6 months from now, we will try again at 4!
Scout!! She even looks slightly ticked in the picture?
Yesterday was ballet and she looked especially cute with her pink Hello Kitty boots!
Cute!
