Pop-Its

Natalie and Bush brought the girls some Fourth of July fun! Kendall loved it, Sydney was a little bit weary of the whole thing, which surprised all of us. We figured Kendall would be the shy one, but once again they proved us wrong. There is another video below of the "nakes"...

Feeding Izzy

Izzy came up with Natalie and Bush...and the girls got to give her a little food.
She is great with them!

Fun after Lunch

Meet Eli

Eli and Sarah came over today even though it was Saturday since I had to work last night. Eli got a new surprise "do" from his Dad! They had a wedding to go to later today and I took these picks just as they were getting ready to leave. It kinda reminds me of someone else I know who used to sport a mohawk on important event days (ah-hem...Kent graduation?) Anyways, Eli and I share the same birthday, so you know he has to be one cool kid. Thanks for coming on such a busy day you guys!!

Dad's 30 !!!

Who's Birthday is it? Kendall gives her answer

Puppy

Natalie got the girls a new puppy sprinkler. We finally had a nice enough day to try it out. Initially they were upset the puppy was "wet" but eventually they warmed up to the idea.

Visit from Tyler

This weekend, my good friend from nursing school; Jess, her husband Matt, and baby Tyler came to Seattle and stayed with us for the weekend. We had a nice visit and the girls absolutely loved Tyler...or as they refer to him as "Ty-la" or "Ty-lee." Here are some pics from their visit that were taken with Jess's awesome camera. Tyler got lots of hugs and kisses while he was here. We can't wait to see them again this summer! He is a cutie...

History

As most of you know, Obama won the Democratic nomination yesterday and made history!
Here is Sydney weighing in on the historic night!

ps...this one is especially for you Grandpa Kendall! Truce??

Addendum: Oh, and in case you didn't know...OBAMA is really spelled A-H-I-M-A...well, according to Sydney. And truthfully, not too bad for a not-quite two year old. Her identifying the letters of his name in front of him during his speech last night was totally spontaneous and was the first time I had heard this myself. Pretty amazing. As you can hear her say, "A...apple"

They know almost all the letters of the alphabet!

Here are the letters I think she was tryng to identify, but in a fast forward fashion...

b-A-r-A-c-k o-b-a-M-A

And here is where I think she got confused. Yes...the first word that both girls can spell is

O-H-I-O (much to the dismay of some of my family members) So, as she made her way through Obama's last name, clearly the "O" through her off and she followed suit into her O-H-I-O spelling, only to recover graciously towards the end of his name with - "M-A"

How poetic!

New Jogger

Getting ready for the first ride!

As an early Birthday present, Gramie and Grampa took Brandon to get a jogging stroller while they were here. Here are the girls going for their first jog with Dad. I love their faces in this one!
Thanks a bunch...it will get much use this summer!

Why Why

Here are the girls' watching their second favorite show, second to you guessed it....ELMO! (Actually, these are the only two shows they watch...so really "Super Why" is in last place...but they still love it. LOL)

Sleepy Head Kendall

Kendall had been pretty fussy late in the afternoon and looks like we found the reason why at dinner! Here she is sleeping towards the end of our meal. It was only 6:30, but she decided to call it a night. Put her to bed after this picture was taken and she slept til the wee-mornin hours.

How sweet!
