Tired

We had so much fun today, that I didn't make it through dinner.

Playing Outside

I love to eat grass and spit!

 
Parker's new bike.  It's lots of fun and I want to learn how to ride it too!

Aiden is crazy fast on his big wheel.

Grandma Jo came down to play with us and to go to Reiman Gardens yesterday.  We had so much fun, can't wait for her to come back and play some more!

Manicotti

Yum!

Memorial Day

 
Lunch at Lions Park in Clive.

 
Aiden

 

Parker

Emery had fun checking out Wildwood Park in Clive.

 
3 boys...just how many boys can you fit into a 2 foot section of tunnel.

 

 The boys at Wildwood Park.

We had many water breaks.

Aiden really liked this 'slide' with lots of bugs and caterpillars!

 
After quiet time in the car and snack time at Orange Leaf, we ended at the Walker Johnston park in Urbandale.  Can we do this again tomorrow?

Grill Out

We had the Hutchinson's and the Cook's over for a grill out.  Chris even ran through the sprinkler with us!

Lilajane, Liam, Aiden, Parker Emery and Zoe.  We're missing Lydia and Logan.

Mom, look!  I can do planks better than you can!  We had a great evening with everyone.  Can't wait to do this more this summer!

Haircut

Perhaps I need a haircut?

Pancakes

YUM!  I love pancakes!

Tall

Any taller, and I won't be able to stand up under the table!

Dinner with Friends

Daddy and Chris had a work dinner, so we got together with Zoe and Logan for dinner and...


time to play in the water.

Their water table was a hit!

Logan never left it, and Emery quickly joined in the fun.

 
The boys got a little chilly at the end, but had such a great time!

Working on Cruising

I can pull myself up to standing just about anywhere.  Now, I'm starting to work on cruising!  One step at a time....

My Latest Trick

I wake up, play a little while, pull my self up to standing (always in the corner closest to the door), and SCREAM because I don't know how to sit down once I'm standing.  It's especially great in the middle of the night, but also works in the morning.

Bubbles

I bought this bubble maker with my birthday money.  Isn't it AWESOME!

Reading

Reading more and more every day.  Today, I read our bedtime story!  If you can't tell, Daddy is trying hard to tape me reading while holding Emery!

Birthday Party

Look at my AWESOME Spiderman cake!

It took all three boys to open presents

Even Aiden got a present.

Emery loves food and his new bib!

Aiden showed off all out different gardens to everyone.  He told Great Grandma about everything that we planted it and how we have to water them.

Perhaps we played a little too hard.  Aiden and I crashed into each other and we needed a little ice break.

Yeah..I'm just resting my eyes, I swear!  What a great day!

Cottonwood

What a great place to start playgroup up again.  We played in the rocks,

played follow the leader,

didn't play long enough with Zoe's parachute,

and I tried to catch butterflies. We were unsuccesful this time.

We all had a great time!
