Happy Birthday Daddy

Happy 33rd Birthday Daddy. We love you lots and lots. We forgot to take photos for daddy's birthday so instead I will show you some photos of what happens at our house when daddy is in charge (mommy went to dinner with some friends a few weeks ago).

I see you.

Yes, I am jumping on the bed.

Swim school

This summer, Britton and I took swim lessons. At first, I did not like it. But after a couple days I was really excited to learn how to swim. Daddy had to swim with Britton because he was still too little but I got to swim all by myself (with help from my swim couch). Here we are in action...

Fireworks...

Happy 4th of July. We had an all-american day. Had hamburgers, baked beans, corn on the cob and mac & cheese for dinner (well, I ate the mac & cheese because I don't like the other stuff). Then we lit some firecrackers and sparklers outside. The night ended with sitting in the back of daddy's truck and watching beautiful fireworks high in the sky. What a great day.


Britton loves corn on the cob.


Silly me...as usual.


Mommy, Britton and I...say cheeeese.


Sparklers...don't try this without an adult.


Me with silly bun hair.

Happy Birthday Mommy

We had lots of fun celebrating mommy's birthday. We ate lots of yummy food, got wet at a splash pad and spoiled mommy with lots of hugs and kisses. Mommy said it was her best birthday so far.

That water was tricky, you never know when
it's gonna come out.


Sitting still for a picture . . . but only for a few seconds

Lots of Love

Now that my brother is not really a baby anymore we have lots of fun playing and running around together. Britton loves to give me hugs and kisses. Here we are giving BIG kisses before bedtime.

San Diego

We took a mini vacation and went to the beach in San Diego. We had a lot of fun making sand castles, finding sand crabs and running from the waves. I let me feet get wet but it was too cold to get in the water. Some days we got so much sand on us, we had to take two baths.

Britton loved getting dirty. I think it's a boy thing

Me on a carousel . . . so much fun.

Baseball player

Britton loves his baseball and bat. I think he would sleep with them if mommy let him. We showed him how to use the tee to hit the ball. He only watched once and then he did it all by himself! I think Britton will be a major league baseball player one day. (I secretly hope it's for the Cubs or Phillies but I will cheer for him no matter what).

It's the little things...

Sometimes the silliest things make us laugh. Here is one of those times. (You can't help but smile when you hear Britton)

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful easter and were spoiled (again) by lots of people who love us. We woke up to find a trail of easter eggs leading us to our easter baskets. Then we went outside and had an easter egg hunt. Later in the day, mommy and I colored eggs. What a fun day.


Trying to get a picture while we're sitting still (we don't sit still for long).


Big hugs.


Running to look for eggs.


Coloring eggs...blue was my favorite.

Water Day...

It get's really, really hot in Arizona. Sometimes we just want to play in the water. Here are some photos of Britton and I playing in our new sprinkler. Don't worry, we wore LOTS of sunscreen! (Thanks Grammie for our new swim suits)
