Happy Birthday Ann Marie

Today is Ann's official birthday. Ann had a blast at her and Lynsey's birthday party on Saturday with friends - Sydney, Logan and Madison. Ann has been very busy playing with her new toys the last few days. She's growing up so fast, learning and comprehending new things every day. She is a real sweet and funny girl.

The party was a beach party / kiddy pool theme. This is the sand castle cake.
From Birthdays 2009


We borrowed a friends pool and slide to add to the fun.

Lynsey's own sand castle cake. All she ate was the yogurt candy around it. :)

my baby is 1

Lynsey is one year old today! Since Ann's birthday is next tuesday, we'll be having one party this year on Saturday. I love Lyns to pieces... she's such a cutie. I can't believe she's one, but honestly, I'm sooo glad. We're on our way to a little girl who can walk (almost) and jabber (soon).

While Laura was here last week, she started standing up and walking with a walker:

Cousins

My cousin Laura came to visit for the week with her girls, McKenna (4) and Alyssa (6) (a gift from Darryl). We had a great time with them. I haven't seen Laura a whole lot since highschool, so it was fun to spend a week together with our kids.

Monday they dressed up as princess's all day. Tuesday we went to the beach. Wednesday we went to the zoo and splash pad and throughly wore ourselves out. Thursday we went to a park playground and played in the kiddy pool at home. Friday we went to Chuck E. Cheese's - first time for all. McKenna said that "it was better than she had hoped." :) Laura is great with babies, so she helped entertain Lynsey all week. I took them to the airport at 6am this morning. We had Ann say goodbye last night, but she was still sad this morning when they were gone. After breakfast, she said she missed her cousins.
