Splish Splash!

Sydney and Dane LOVE the water! You can stick Sydney in front of the sink and give her some dishes to "wash" and this will occupy her for a long time (which is a nice break for the mama!). I'm sure our water bill has doubled but when there is peace and quiet a doubled water bill is not so bad...right? Now Dane loves to join in on the fun. Today they were having a ball and splashing until they were soaked. The reason for the naked picture:)

Sydney and Dane's ROCK band! They were laughing so hard at the noises they made (I think the entire neighborhood heard there beautiful drumming:)

Beautiful day at the beach...

It doesn't get much better than this! It is the middle of February and everything is in bloom, the sun is shining, so we headed to the beach for some play time with The Grove Family. The kids had a ball throwing rocks and splashing in the water. We had fish & chips outside and soaked up the sunny fresh air day!

Say Cheese!

I saw this idea in a magazine and thought it was a cute idea. So tonight Lola and Reece came over for dinner and a playdate so we celebrated dental awareness month and made apple smiles. The kids had a great time making there perfect smiles.

Balls, Balls and MORE Balls...

Did I say balls? Dane LOVES balls more than anything! Doesn't matter the kind soccer, football, basketball you name it. When he sees a ball or net he immediately starts pointing, jumping up and down and squealing. It is so funny to watch. He also has no fear. He loves climbing up the ladder of a steep slide and sliding down with no help (and laughs when he reaches the end)...at age ONE oh boy...

Let the games begin...

The Olympics started this weekend so we made some torches in honor of the opening ceremonies. The kids had a ball marching around with there torches and watching the 2010 games!

Our day at the Children's Museum and Beach

Our new home away from home...

Yesterday was Sydney and Dane's first day at there new school (they go 3 times a week)! They were both super excited. Sydney had a hard time with us leaving but in no time she was adjusting and making new friends. They sleep on mats on the floor and we had been pumping Syd up that she would be doing this. When we picked her up they told us Sydney said: "No thank you, I don't need a mat I will just sleep on the floor". HA! So with froggy in hand and under her head she was out like a light. Dane had a fun day too and did not even realize we left and when we picked him up he was happy as a clam. I think this was a good move for us all...

Nonni and Poppi's Visit

Looking "cool" in our glasses

Beds for all

The other day Sydney was in her room playing and talking away. Then she came running in the room and told us to come quick. She was so excited to show us that she had made beds for us all to sleep in. Notice 4 beds one for each of us. Too cute!

Last Day...

Today was Sydney and Dane's last day at Eva's. They loved going there but it was time for a change. They will miss there buddies Natalie, Alli, David and Pearl...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Birthday to you! Dane's ONE!

We had a great day celebrating Dane's first birthday with all of his favorite friends!

I'm ONE- Ferry ride to Kingston

I can't believe my sweet baby boy is ONE today! Dane you are always so happy, fun and just the sweetest thing ever! We can't imagine our lives without you in it. Today was such a beautiful day in Edmonds so we took the ferry over to have a birthday breakfast. It is so great having Nonni and Poppi here to celebrate!

My first sweet treat! All the waitresses came out singing and gave me this yummy treat!
