Aunt Momo and Uncle Todd come to visit....

WOW what a FUN long weekend we had with A. Momo and U. Todd visiting us.  They are SO much fun and really know how to spoil us:)  Our first stop was a visit to run the beach... 
I really wish my U. Todd lived closer I REALLY LOVE him...

 And I (Miss Syd) really wished my A. Momo lived closer I could not leave her side the entire time she was here:)
  No ferry trip is complete without a trip to get Ice Cream....

 Feeding the birds and checking out the boats!
 Nighttime ferry ride home.  What fun flying in the wind and seeing the lights of Edmonds...
Getting my nails painted... OOO LA LA!

Thanks a ton A. Momo and U. Todd for the visit!  We can't stop talking about you and think of you all the time.  We think you will be the best parents and can't wait to have another cousin to play with!  Come back again SOON!!  XOXO

Happy 2nd Birthday Dane!

I can't believe my little man is TWO!  Wow how time flies when your having fun.  This year for Dane's party we decided on a small gathering at our house and did a breakfast theme.  With all the kiddos taking naps in the afternoon this was the perfect birthday celebration!

The invitation was bacon and eggs:  Bacon, eggs and fruit too Dane Oldelehr is turning TWO!  Everyone came in their jammies!  Oh what fun that was! 
Looks like the little man needed a little more sleep:)
The birthday breakfast had to have some donut holes of course....
 The kids making fruit loop necklaces...
 Dane blowing out his candles with a little help from his friends.  All of the kids wanted to blow out the candles so we did it a few times!  The birthday cake this year a giant cinnamon roll:)
 It was a miracle we got all the kiddos to sit still for ONE second:)
 Dane was so excited for his new bike...
We were so happy Momo and Todd were there to celebrate the BIG day!
 Syd LOVED holding baby Kellyn
This year we decided to have everyone bring a pair of jammies instead of a gift. The jammies went to a great organization called the pajama project for children in need.  

For the party favors we gave everyone pillowcases with their initial for sweet dreams:)

Happy 2nd Birthday to our Big Boy!

SNOW DAY!!!

IT SNOWED!  We missed the first snow of the season while we were in Missouri so the look on your two eyes when you woke up to white fluffy snow on the ground was priceless!  However, mommy and daddy knew we had to be QUICK!  We do live in Seattle SO...the rain began and the snow was starting to melt.  We got you dressed in a flash (well as fast as we could put ALL the layers on) and were outside by 7:30am.  It was still dark out and we had a blast! 


Dane you decided on the day you were ALL bundled up that you wanted to start using the potty and you did not like the way your diaper felt.  Mommy and Daddy were SO excited but really on the morning you had 10,000 layers on:)  SO you and mommy waddled back in changed your diaper and you went on the potty (you went 5 time today on the potty-even if it doesn't stick we are still excited!!).  

 Making our snowman with Daddy!
 
Putting the finishing touches on...
 Time for a sleigh ride...
 WOO HOO this is FUN!!
 Then it was time to come in and warm up and of course make some SNOW ICE CREAM!!
Even if it was only 8:30 am...

No Parents Needed...

 We wash windows...
 Put ourselves to bed...

 Change Diapers....
Water the flowers...
 And make all our meals....

I was going through all of my pictures and thought this was too funny!  It is amazing how much you guys want to help and be just like mommy and daddy.  You both LOVE to clean and Syd it was so cute when you were outside washing windows.  You pulled up two chairs and you helped Dane with assisting you in your "job".  All of these things you do we don't ask you to you just do it.  I think you two could run a very successful household:)
