Happy Birthday Grandma Rose

 

We hope you had a special birthday, and we wish we could be there with you to celebrate. Thank you for being a wonderful grandma, mom, and mother-in-law. We think Canada is too FAR AWAY! It was fun to have you hear... I loved how you would chase Adeline around, and make her laugh. It was fun to hear you sing to her, and just see how she would react. She loved that rocking chair even if it had to be put away because she's a little dangerous. COME BACK soon:) We love getting your phone calls to tell you about our day. Thanks for listening, laughing and understanding. You deserve to have a great day.

Apple Hill

Cute Cousins

Me gently holding her back

She just loved watching them

So you can see the safety zone difference

Grams and the girls

I love the fall, and this year the adventure at Apple Hill was a little different. It was different because Addie can walk. I had her in the stroller as long as possible... because my little sweetheart is fearless. It probably sounds mean, but she won't sit still. I even tried a doughnut. She was more interested in exploring. She wanted to run down this VERY steep hill. She toppled a little, and there were no tears. She is for sure tough... everyone around sighs, and I am usually wondering what happened and then almost always they are concerned about my little one. She almost ALWAYS pops right up happy as ever. She walked right up to every dog there. She's a friendly little one. Then the pond oh boy she wanted to join those fishes straightaway. We fed the fish. Lily and Addie loved it when they would splash. I think the ducks were by far her favorite. She just walked right up to them chattering something to them. She wanted to touch them, and she came pretty close. I don't know she wanted to touch them... I was a little concerned they might bite. How much damage can a duck really do? But I tried to keep her at a somewhat safe distance. I had to pretty much hold her back. Lily wasn't quit as thrilled about the ducks. She was interested, but didn't care to be as close as Adeline who really wants to be that close? We had a super day thanks for the invite Jackie and Grandma.

Baby Doll

My baby girl likes to feed her baby dolls. It is so funny... she hasn't really been a doll lover. She has liked them, but just hasn't loved them. UNTIL I got out this new high chair, opened up the spoon, and bowl. And Wa la she now loves to feed the babies and me. It is one of her favorite things to do. It's my favorite to watch my little darling. As she talks to the babies. She is less than gentle with the babies, but it is funny to watch.

Grandma Rose Came and Went

Grandma Rose Came and Went

Mom we are so GLAD to have you with US!

Aren't these precious!

A fun day at the zoo... animals didn't make the cut for the photos. It was a hot hot hot day, and most of them were hiding. Not only did we go to the zoo, but we also caught a ride on the train. After that we came back home made some dinner, did silly string and bubbles.

More to come stay tuned:) 

Adeline's 1st Birthday Party

Well what can I say the fastest year of my life just went in a flash. My baby girl is one, and this year we learned a lot about having a little girl and how to have  a birthday party. Who knew it was so complicated.

 Lessons learned:

1. Parks are a popular party place in Folsom- arrive EARLY 

I failed at arriving at 5:30 AM or reserving the park for $250 dollars

therefore we had no place to have a party- felt like a failure

2. NO RED FROSTING- it stained our skin, teeth and clothes

Lady bug theme super cute right. Ladybug Cupcakes above adorable right.

The cupcakes were a mess ... I am still working on the stains in her swim suit. Someone at the grocery store after thought I had a skin disorder.

3. Wind and table paper covers don't work

It was a waste of time, and money to get these at the dollar tree

4. In the end everything comes together PERFECTLY!

Everyone made it to the new park... with only minor complaints.  Water park was way better than the one we planned the party at, and Music Mike was at one of the other parties. 3 of us shared the area. One of the people had him at their party how cool is that. If you're not familiar with Music Mike he's the long haired guy in the pic with Adeline holding the morocco. She did not want to give it back to him. It was a happy day.
