Playtime at the Park

We went to Toby's baseball team's final party on Saturday and the girls had a blast at the park.

Katie posing on the slide

Toby pushing Katie on the swing - she hated it - this was right before she started crying.

Maddie hated it too

Maddie blowing bubbles - and eating the wand

Katie blowing bubbles. She ate the wand too.

Crazy busy and fun weekend...and LOTS of pictures!

We were very busy this weekend as you can see from the photos below. I will try to update more often so I don't have to bombard you with tons of photos at once. Here we go!


Maddie and Katie coloring at Nordstrom while i bought Katie a new pair of shoes. Don't worry, Maddie got a new pair at Target earlier in the day.

Maddie meeting her favorite character, Kai Lan. Katie was too scared to go close to Kai Lan so she waved at her from a distance. This was at the New Baby Expo.

Playing a frog game at Fun Factory in Kahala Mall

Whole Foods Rocks! They give a banana, apple or fruit chew to each child when their parents are shopping in the store - for free!. Maddie and Katie each chose an apple last night and Katie couldn't wait to get home and eat it so she bit right into it, skin and all. She loved it! Maddie waited patiently until the skin was peeled off for her.

A big hug for Kai Lan

We had 2 birthday parties to go to this weekend. Maddie and Toby went to Kaylee's 2nd birthday party (Toby neglected to take any photos) while Katie and I went to Paige's 4th birthday party. Here is a photo of Chace (Paige's brother who is 2 months and 1 day older than Maddie and Katie) and Katie.

Katie LOVED the guava cake.

Katie riding the merry-go-round at Fun Factory. I had to hold her hand and walk around and around and around it while she rode.

Maddie made Toby do the same.

We bought this neat Little Tikes water toy, Spiralin' Seas Waterpark, today at Toys R Us. Ryce came over to drop something off so we asked him to join in the fun with water play time. The kids had a blast. Katie is wearing her bikini from last summer - it finally fits! Yes, it is a size 6 - 9 months, but she looks cute!

Maddie enjoyed dunking her face in the water

Katie dumped the water everywhere

So did Maddie

Splash!

Last weekend, Uncle Owen and Aunty Donna were in town from California. Aunty Donna is a child psychologist and works with very young children. She was great with Maddie and Katie and taught them how to transfer rocks from one cup to another. They adored her.

Maddie and Katie tried to lock Aunty Jaclyn out of the yard.

Katie is using her Easter basket as a hat.

Evan (Heather & Brian's almost 4 month old) came over on Friday night. Here is a photo of Evan and Katie's grumpy faces. Poor Evan cut his first tooth that night.

Evan loves the big kid chair - maybe he will get one for his birthday? We should ask Aunty Debbie =)

Mother's Day Brunch

We had an early Mother's Day brunch with Grandma Sandy, Grandma Joyce, Aunty Sandy and cousin Matthew at Oceanarium restaurant. The girls LOVED the fish in their huge aquarium. As soon as we walked in, Maddie said "wow!"
