Alex and Kat's wedding

It's been a busy month!

It's been so long since I've posted...we have been so busy! Adelaide has also been resisting bedtime everynow and then, which means less time for the computer. Here are some of the highlights since the last post...

Adelaide got a giant fat lip. It was so sad and lasted about a week. She ALSO got a new bike trailor from her Granny and Grandpa Jerry. Thank you!!! She really loves her new trailor and nowadays her first word most mornings is "bike trailor".

We found the perfect river spot. A big sandy beach with pleanty of room to spread out, and water perfect for swimming. Adelaide wasn't sure how to walk in the sand at first and was crawling with her arms straight...it was really cute. She loves throwing little rocks into the water.


I had been wanting to make her a sandbox, so made a ghetto version of a sandbox in a giant tupperwear box. I know it's silly, but she has fun digging in there, and insists sitting INSIDE the box =) (Don't ask me why she has her helmet on...she just likes to wear it anytime we are playing outside).
Adelaide and Oliver - best buddies.
Aunt Jessie came to visit. Adelaide loves her aunt Jessie.
This is when we were at the Grotto. Adelaide had to take a poop with no warning...and she is no longer wearing diapers, so basically dropped a turd in the bushes. Is that a sin?
Granny also came up to see Adelaide. She loves her granny!!!
and her aunt Jessie.
We have spent many days in the sprinkler in the yard.

Cutest little thing ever

I'm giving Adelaide the "cutest little thing I ever did see" award for these pictures. I could just eat her up. She is getting so grown up!

P.S. I make all of the little hair clips you see in Adelaide's hair. If I sold them would you buy one? How much would you pay?

Elk Rock Garden with Geraldine and baby Eva

This park is so beautiful! It's actually a big house, and these are the gardens. It was a perfect place to go meet friends for a Sunday afternoon. Here is Adelaide and I playing Pat-a-cake with baby Eva's feet. Adelaide thought it was so funny. I was in heaven holding this precious little baby.
Myles helped Adelaide "climb" this tree =)

Geraldine and her sweet baby. I love these girls.

Conked out.

Summer with Oliver

These two definitely make me work for my money! They love each other and play so well sometimes, but they also fight a lot! It's been so fun having another kiddo around for Adelaide to play with. He is such a sweet kid, I'm so glad we are getting this opportunity to see what it's like to have another kid around!
Here they are "riding" Adelaide's stool =) Zucchini fresh from the garden. They each had one and love it - raw!!!
Nap after the zoo - she looked so sweet =)
Our favorite spot on a hot day at the zoo - the sea lion.
I totally felt crazy for taking two toddlers to the zoo by myself...but it was one of the best trips we have had. They both had a blast, and both stayed in the waggon! They were all snuggled together, it was really cute.

Lunch at the zoo. I let them both out and neither one tried to run away!!!


This was the first day that I got the waggon. What a perfect investment. I knew I didn't want to pay for a double stroller - and this works out so well! They both love to ride in it, and it's fun to pull around!
The box for the waggon was even more fun for them to play on. It kept them busy almost the whole time while I put the thing together.
And today I bought a new sprinkler which Adelaide really loves! I set the pool up too so they could play.

Soaked! This kid loves the water =)

And here they are together at the garden. Whenever I open the door to let them out, they both go running to the garden as fast as they can for some reason.
