Grandma's Shirt

From Meredith Jane 3 Years

My mama likes this shirt on me. She thinks I look especially cute in it. What do you think? My Grandma made it for me. She can sew really well!

From Meredith Jane 3 Years

Oh... and my Mama is pretty good at putting my hair in pig tails too!

Believe the Hype!

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

I believe the hype! Do you?

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

The hype is fun! The hype is cool!

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

Do you even know what the "hype" is all about? I think it is about playing and being a toddler... but my Grandma says it is about something else (she gave me the shirt). Do you have any ideas?

Taste test

From Emmaline Ruth

Is this what bacon tastes like? I really enjoy eating meats, but I haven't had bacon yet. I was wondering if this pig tastes like bacon. Maybe it tastes like ham? I haven't had that yet, either.

S'mores!

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

I am going to eat it up! Num, num, num, num... We went camping two weekends ago at Brooks Memorial State Park, north of Goldendale, WA. It was a blast! We took a few short hikes, played on the swings, cooked over the fire (had pancakes, pita pizzas, hot dogs, and cheesy potatoes), and had a campfire. What do you do with a campfire, you ask? Well, make s'mores, of course! They were delicious!

From Meredith Jane 3 Years

Meredith liked the marshmallows more than the s'mores... she had an extra marshmallow after this s'more.

From Emmaline Ruth

Emmaline even tried out some graham crackers!

Daddy's Teddy

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

I recently discovered Daddy's teddy bear. It has been in my room for some time now, but I just really found it. I LOVE my teddy! I sleep with it. And I nap with it. I even play with it now during the day. Daddy caught me while I was giving teddy hugs. I love my (Daddy's) teddy!

"Ice Skating" Party!

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

Last Friday my Mama had the BEST IDEA EVER! She sprayed a bunch of shaving cream on the floor and told us kids (and a friend) to go ice skating. It was a blast! I fell a lot, but I still had a great time. My Mama like it, because our floor was clean when we were done.

From Theodore Elial 2 Years

I got shaving cream all over myself!

From Meredith Jane 3 Years

Meredith just played in it with her hands. Not as much fun as I had!

2 Years Old (and a month)

From Theodore Elial 2nd Birthday

My Mama and Daddy wanted some more pictures of me when I turned two. I may be two and a month old, but it is never too late to take a picture of someone as cute as me!

From Theodore Elial 2nd Birthday

I gave kisses to Mama!

From Theodore Elial 2nd Birthday

I studied the flowers.

I jumped with my sister.

From Theodore Elial 2nd Birthday

I jumped by myself!

From Theodore Elial 2nd Birthday

I looked serious.

From Theodore Elial 2nd Birthday

And I looked happy!

From Theodore Elial 2nd Birthday

I even let my sister love me!

Take my picture, Daddy!

From Meredith Jane 3 Years

We may have gone to the park to take Theo's pictures, but I didn't want to be left out. I made sure Daddy got a picture of me in every so often too. I'm growing and getting older too, not just Theo!

Hanging out at the park

From Emmaline Ruth

Yesterday we went to a park in Kennewick to take some pictures of Theo. I guess Mama and Daddy usually take pictures for our birthdays, so they decided now that Theo is 2 years (and a month), they'd better take some new pictures.

I hung out with Mama on her back while Daddy took the pictures. Afterwards, Meredith and Theodore played at the park while I hung out in the shade on the grass. It was a good time!

Hiking in style

From Emmaline Ruth

This weekend, Mama, Daddy, and I went to Holden Village with the youth group from our church. Don't tell Meredith & Theo, because they LOVE Holden. They stayed home with friends (and had a good time too!).

While at Holden, we took a hike. I had to be warm, but I also had to go in style. What do you think of the hat my Mama knitted for me? That's a flower on the side. I loved it. I really liked seeing the waterfall at the end of the hike too!
