And Happy Birthday to Tenley too!

We cannot BELIEVE that Tenley is 2 already!  

Her birthday was June 12th.  The present was too big to wrap, so we just covered it with a blanket.

Tenley LOVES babies.  Doll babies and real babies.  So, we got her a 4 station baby center.  Includes a place for baby to eat, to sleep, to give a bath,, etc.

New cup from Maw Maw and Paw Paw.  

  

Waiting for the cake!

Nate tried to get her to dig in, but she only stuck her finger in slightly (and only after we had to convince her that it was OK) and then licked her finger carefully of the tiny bit of frosting that was on it.  That's my girl!  No messes, please! :-)

Thanks for all the gifts!  For the clothes for her and also for her dolls...She loves to take off their clothes and then brings them to you to put them back on again...and again...and again...:-)

Two is a fun age so far.  Temper tantrums are very minimal and she is a pleasant little girl who loves to play with her big brother and sister.  She loves the outdoors and the pool.

We love you, Tenley!

Happy Belated Birthday...Jada!

So, I promised Jada a late birthday party since she wanted a pool party and it was definitely too cold in early May!  We finally pulled it off the other weekend.  I said she could only invite 4 friends, so it was just a small party (because Mom didn't want to be responsible for too many 7 year olds in a big pool!)

Beckett got to join in the fun as well...even though he was the only boy!

Birthday treats included a fish/swimming theme with fish cupcakes, goldfish crackers and boats made of fruit.

Just hanging out on the grass...which only lasted a little bit since ants started to appear on the towels and the girls were NOT thrilled about that!

Where's Tenley, you ask?  Napping, of course!  I did let her join in the fun for a little pool time at the beginning of the party, but unfortunately, the camera didn't come out until she was already sleeping.

First Birthday Pool Party = A Big Success! :-)

Our Father Who Art In Heaven

We decided that the kids should know "Our Father Who Art In Heaven" so we said it every night together for about a week.  It's amazing how quickly they picked it up.  Enjoy the clip! :-)

Happy Father's Day!

We had a very relaxing day around the house...especially since it rained quite a bit today.  


We played some Wii sluggers baseball (boys won).


Wrestled around on the floor while getting some fun rug burns.


Called the Grandpas to say Happy Father's Day, but no one answered.


Snuck outside between the rain clouds for some great pictures. (unfortunately, Tenley was napping)

And just. plain. relaxed. together.
