Hanging With the Big Kids!

Abby & Logan came over, and I decided to join them for a movie!  Check me out, in between Abby & Logan!  Big Sister is enjoying her spot on the end :) 

Welcome Grandma, My First Dinner Date, & Happy Birthday Connor!

Welcome Grandma!  She arrived for a visit on Tuesday.  She flew in, Daddy picked her up, then she and Mommy picked Amelia & I up for gymnastics.  We had a nice dinner, did some playing and reading, and off to bed.  Then we finished the week off with a poker tournament at the house!  Well, the dads did.  The kids and moms stayed in the house and hung out.  Brett & I had a dinner date, check us out:

Then Saturday morning we went to Connor's birthday part at Super Frank's.  What a blast!  It was in the fish tank room, which was filled with black lights and fun stuff!  A giant bounce house, a foam pit, ride on toys, whoo hoo!  Pizza and yummy cake, and lots of fun with friends!

Saturday night we hung out at the house.  And Sunday was a day around the house.  Mommy cleaned the cars, we put the house back together, made some lemonade!  A great weekend!

Happy Birthday Sarah!

We all went down on Friday for Sarah's 3rd birthday party.  Well, actually, Mom, Penny, and I drove down, and Daddy flew down.  It was the longest drive ever - but we were super good.  Anyway, on Saturday, we went to the party at Build-a-Bear - this place where you make your own stuffed animal - it's a lot of fun!  I made a Cinderella cat - which I named "Purr."  Penny made a bunny named "Hip Hop."  It was a blast!  

After the party, we went back to Sarah's house, where they had some snacks and we played in the backyard in Sarah's new house.  We hung out for the rest of the day with Aunt Sher-bear, Uncle Kerry, Uncle Chris, Aunt Lori, and Sarah's Grandma and Pop-Pop.  I hear that the grownups sat around a fire in the backyard after we went to sleep.

Then we drove back on Sunday - luckily it was a lot quicker this time, and Daddy was along for the ride.

School Pictures Spring 2011

Here are our school pictures from Spring 2011!  Aren't we ADORABLE!?!?  Hehehe...I am 15 months and Amelia is 3 3/4 years old.  Enjoy!

Red Carpet Weekend

We had a nice weekend.  Marie & Olivier slept over, and then we had an impromptu Oscar party.  Which was really more of us kids making a big mess upstairs, the moms drinking some sort of bubbly drinks, and the dads making pizzas!  It was a great weekend!

Our "italian" daddies... they kept saying things like "prego, prego" and "fuhget about it!"

Beach Trip!

This weekend we made a trip down to the beach to visit with our family!  We had a bit of a scary drive down there, though.  We took a new route which led us over a mountain.  A very snowy mountain...and of course, this was the trip we decided to take Daddy's [non-4-wheel-drive] car!  But we made it, phew!

That night we had dinner, took it easy.  Saturday Sarah, Aunt Lori, & Uncle Chris came to visit!  We made sock puppets, played outside, had a great time!  That evening Cousin Heather came over and spent the night. We had a lot of fun playing "Jailbreak!"  There was a tornado warning that night though!  Aunt Nancy prepped the closet (with stocks of water) in case we had to hide out!

Sunday was a party at the house, with more cousins, and Uncle Craig and Aunt Margie coming to visit.  And the weather finally shaped up!  We had a ton of fun playing in the sun and sand!

Monday morning we got up and had breakfast, then headed home.  Thank you so much for the fun weekend, family! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a Happy Valentine's dinner!  Followed by red velvet napoleons...(that's Daddy's wine in the picture, not mine!)

Grandpa Stan joined us!  He was in town teaching a class, and had dinner with us!  He read some books to me...

Daddy brought home some beautiful roses for us girls!

Happy happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day Projects

We decided to do some finger painting to make projects for everyone.  It started out like this:

 And went to this...

And then this...

And ended up like this!

Thank goodness it was washable paint!  The bath water turned purple when we dropped in it!  And Mommy was shocked when all the paint came out of our clothes....phew!

Daddy put his valentine card up at work - and everyone keeps complimenting him on it!

Happy First Birthday Charlotte!

Saturday we went and helped my BFF Charlotte celebrate her first birthday!  What a great time!  The weather was perfect and we got to play outside pretty much the whole time.  Driving cars, a pinata, cake and ice cream!  Perfect party!  Happy Birthday Charlotte!  Don't worry, we're getting older, but one isn't quite over the hill.
