Park

There's a cool park that I've been hearing about named Settlers Park. We went there on Sunday and it's a really cool place. There are giant musical instruments, fake rocks to climb, a water feature and of course lots of playground equipment.

Sophia climbed the rock part way up and got scared. I went up behind her and encouraged her all the way to the top and then helped her find her footing down.

Abbey's Birthday

Abbey's 1 and it seems so weird to think 1 year ago we were in the hospital and she was an itty bitty helpless little thing. I also can't remember what our life was like before her.

I was cooking scrambled eggs but had to put them on hold because Sophia gave her present to Abbey. I had to run and grab the camera! Sophia picked out a baby doll for Abbey and we wrapped it the night before in Christmas paper :) Sophias showing Abbey how to properly buckle the baby in the stroller.

Next we got pictures at Kiddie Kandids and they all turned out great! Individual pictures of Sophia and Abbey and then pictures of them together. Auntie M and Granny Cake went along to help and I'm soooo incredibly grateful!! I'm sure both girls would have ran off while I was choosing the photos or paying.

We ended the night with mini cheeseburgers and cake.

Color!!!

Sophia doesn't seem to care about crayons or even markers that much. She scribbles and seems to get bored quickly. I let her use watercolors and she really likes them. I bought her a set of brushes because I'm a paintbrush nazi and won't let her use mine. She is really careful to clean the brushes in between colors. She's painting with Granny Cake here.

Both Abbey and Sophia LOVE otter pops and when I pulled these out of the freezer I loved the colors so I had Sophia hold them. Its not as creative of a photo as I wanted but I still love the colors.

Kathyrn Albertson Park

I decided to switch things up and go to Kathryn Albs park to see wildlife vs a park to play on playsets. We didn't see any ducks or geese or turtles etc. It was about 100 degrees so maybe they were hiding in the shade.

Harley kitty is actually sleeping. He's weird but we love him.
