Dancing Elves

I know, it's been a while since I have posted anything, and I will try to do some catching up soon, but in the mean time, enjoy some dancing elves!

Fun times!

E-  I recently had a playdate with my friend, Audrey, from school.  We went to a place with a giant play structure on the inside, kind of like the ones you might find at a fast-food restaurant, but better!  Reid came too, and he decided that he needed to climb up the play structure with us!

Here he comes!  He zipped right up these foamy steps!  Audrey has a little sister too, so we both made sure Reid was safe the entire time. 

 

More steps!  After this, he had to climb through a hole, so I helped him do that part.  He thought he was so big!

 

We went inside this yellow bubble.  There is a small window that you can sort of see, behind Reid's head.  He would stand and look out the window at Momma, who was way down below us! 



Then we would go down the curly slide.  I went first, and then Audrey came down with Reid on her tummy!  She let him slide the last little bit and I caught him at the bottom.  We had so much fun!

In other news, I have decided to start riding my bike.  Momma showed me how to balance on the big tires, so I am not scared of the wobbliness anymore.  I still use my training wheels but we can adjust them more and more.  I am practicing a lot so I can balance right in the middle! 

 

We are having fun this summer!

 

Me and my Daddy

R-  Momma went shopping one day and found a shirt for me that matches one that Daddy has!  Obviously, I needed that shirt!  Here I am with my Daddy in our new matching shirts!

Pretty cool, huh?

 

Hey, Daddy!  I am watching you...

 

 Did you notice something? 

We have on the same shirt!

Ahhh, chillin' with my Daddy.

Does someone want to bring me a popsicle??

More birthdays!

E-  Guess what?  I had a surprise birthday cake!  Having a cake was not the surprise, but there was s surprise inside!  Momma and Auntie tried to tell me that maybe a giraffe or rattlesnake or hot lava was inside the cake, but I knew that wasn't true...  But what could it be?

Look at this cake!  It is GIANT!

Make a wish.....

Phoooo!

After I blew out the candles, Auntie, Daddy and I went to the other room while Momma cut the cake, to keep the surprise a surprise!  Then Momma walked me into the dining room with my eyes closed and I saw....

 A RAINBOW CAKE!

How did you do that???

Look, there are 6 colors and am 6 years old!

Isn't this a cool cake?  There is chocolate on the outside and whipped cream between the cake layers.  Yum.  It was delicious!  Aren't birthdays great?

AND, I opened presents, of course.  

And read the cards I received.

Look at the great shirt Reid got for me!  

I had a super-fun birthday!

Birthday Cake!

R - Birthday cake is great!  Momma made me a confetti cake, so not only was there confetti on the outside, it was on the inside as well!  She made me a tiny little baby cake - bigger than a cupcake, but not by much! 

 

There are certain foods that require naked eating.  I happen to love all foods that require naked eating.  At this point, those foods are spaghetti and meatballs, cake, and watermelon.  YUM!  So, whenever Momma says we are going to have naked eating, I know something great is coming!

 

This time it was cake!  Let me at it!

Cake is very fun to squish.  There are lots of great textures going on in cake.

Hey there, look at me and my cake!

Ugh.  It is pretty heavy on this big plate!  But I.... CAN....DO.... THIS!!!

Oh, boy, this is fun!

Did you know that icing is a great skin treatment?  Well, now you do.  Go ahead and spread some all over your legs and belly.  It's fun!

Yippee! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would you like some?  It is delicious!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Birthday Party #2!

R - Not only did I celebrate my birthday in Florida, I also celebrated at home with my friends!  We had a little party in the neighborhood park. 

 

I love rubber duckies, so Momma decorated with lots of birthday ducks and balloons!

Duckies are good for chewing.  Many things are as well, but these tiny rubber ducks are perfect!  They are my favorite!

Here are my buddies:  from left to right, it is Mason, Grayson and myself!  We are all 2 months apart!  I came first, then two months later my friend, Grayson was born.  Two months after that, Mason was born!  It was a baby boy bonanza at our church!  Look out big kids, there's a whole new crew coming along!

 

 

 

 

The big kids had cupcakes.  I waited until later to have my treat, as I can be a bit messy.... 

 

 

Hold on, Sister! 

 

Don't fly away! 

When we got home, we opened presents!  Grandma and Elyse helped out. 

And then I got to play with all of my new toys! 
What a fun day!  Birthdays are great!

The Belle of the Ball

E  - We have tickets to the family Symphony, which gives us 4 concerts a year which are really amazing.  There is always a theme, and if you get there ahead of time, there are crafts to make and there is an instrument petting zoo so you can try out different instruments if you want.  I love it!  But THIS one was the best!  The theme was Belle of the Ball and it was all about princesses and princes, which, as you may know, is something which interests me VERY much.

I brought my prince, Daddy!  We got all gussied up for the experience!  I wore my fancy ball gown and tiara, and Daddy wore a tuxedo.  We looked quite spectacular, didn't we?

 

What a fun day!  My little prince (Reid) stayed home and took a nap.  But I must say, he would look pretty great in a tuxedo too, wouldn't he??
