Busy Busy!

We have been busy around here visiting relatives and friends, going to fun parks for walks and to play on the toys, Wiggle Worms, swimming...the list goes on and on!

Recently we went over to Poulsbo to visit our friends the Hoveys along with the Worsleys and Doehnes.

I helped feed Claire some lunch


This is what a playroom looks like after 7 kids get done with it!


All tuckered out!

My mommy did the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Issaquah which Daddy and I stopped by for a little while. Mommy's team raised over $5,000 and the relay itself raised over $215,000! Go Team TBD!

I'm also trying very hard to figure out how to eat with a fork and spoon all on my own. As you can see, some days are better than others :)








I like to eat my bananas "big girl style" now with peel and all!

Fun in the Sun!

We had a full weekend of gorgeous weather so we did lots of fun things outside! We went to the beach, went for a hike, visited a new park and played in the backyard. It was a great time!

Trying to bury myself


I sure hope you guys brought a towel!


Attempting to "rock climb" at the park


This sprinkler is fun!


But I prefer splashing in the pool!

This last week I visited Wiggle Worms for the first time (a "gymnastics" class for toddlers) where they have all sorts of fun things to climb and bounce on. Ever since I've been trying to figure out how to jump.


Learning to jump - I practice this a LOT!

I'm a Big Kid Now!

I'm such a big girl now! I'm learning some new words and body parts, helping with chores around the house and Mommy and Daddy even bought me my very own chair! I love jumping up on it and back down again!


Ball! Its my new favorite toy and word!


Learning to color...it sure is tricky keeping the pen on the paper!




Lounging in my new big girl chair


Earning my keep :)

Its Music Time!

This week I've learned how to play my harmonica!

Isn't it Spring?

Somebody told me Spring started in March....but based on our weather lately I'm not so sure. We got nearly 7 inches of snow so I think it may be Winter still. But last weekend it was almost 80 degrees which made me think it was Summer. These seasons sure are confusing!

Last Weekend

With the nice weather we did some yard work - I had fun helping Daddy with the wheelbarrow!


Then I helped him pick weeds


We then went to a park to enjoy the sunshine


It was a great time!


After the park we enjoyed our backyard for a while


Ahhhh....what a fun day! I miss the sun!

Par-Tay!

What a day! Today all of my friends came over to help me celebrate my first birthday. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone, opening gifts and trying cake for the first time. Man that stuff is tasty! Thank you again to everyone who came and generously donated to my toy, book and outfit collections! :)

Today I turned the big 0-1! I had a great time celebrating this weekend with my parents and Nana's side of the family! We got to celebrate my birthday as well as Mommy's, Nana's and Great Grandma Stacey's birthdays too. AND it was Easter! Its been a lot of celebrating!
