Random Samplings of June

 Shopping with mom and baby Belle.

 I just love his little bald "spot".  I wonder how long it will take for his hair to grow back in.

I attended an adorable Favorite Things party for summer.

'Mister' got in on some Razor scooter action.

Multi tasking.

Enjoying a nap in the shade.

S'mores all over her face.

Someone got caught playing in the ashes of the fire pit.

Snuggling at Disneyland.

The yummiest roasted veggie salad at Disneyland.

We finally saw World of Color.

'The Boy' had the best view of the show.

Busted!

Mary Janes and Bermuda shorts...someone is way into dressing herself.

Who needs a playground when you can hang out at the Apple store?

Hanging out in the jumper roo.

Riding the Daddy bronco.

She followed this thing around all day calling it her baby.

This is where 'The Hubs' put 'Mister' for "a quick sec".  He propped his head with his toiletry bag.

'The Boy' worked on so summer school work.

They had some tea.

'Mister' crashed out in my arms during 'Munchkin's' party. 

American Cutie

When we were in the hospital after 'Munchkin' was born, I missed out on our community fireworks.    The city in which we live has their big 4th of July bash and fireworks the weekend before the actual 4th so as not to compete with the big(ger) city nearby.  They launch the fireworks from a park a few blocks from our house so we have a great view.  It was at that point that we promised 'Munchkin' that she would have fireworks for her birthday party every year. 

For her second birthday, the 4th was only a couple of days after her birthday party so we went with a red white and blue theme.  It was perfect.

 A little pre-party present opening.

I love the way 'Mister' is looking at PaPa.

 

She loved hearing everyone sing to her.

Happy birthday, Americake.

She loved her new scooter!

Nothing says you've had a great birthday like blue frosting up your nose.
 

Happy Birthday, 'Munchkin'!  We love you!

Chelsea's Second Birthday

On the morning 'Munchkin' turned two, we had a special birthday breakfast for her. Her birthday was during the week this year and we were having a big party for her over the weekend so we had a little family party just to celebrate her on her day.

Minnie's Bowtique is her favorite cartoon so, naturally, we had a Minnie breakfast.

The Birthday girl's seat.

 

A doughnut birthday cake.

 

On the morning of each kid's birthday, we all sing happy birthday.  It's been our tradition since 'The Boy' turned one.  Nothing like a birthday song in your pj's.

 

She loved blowing out the candles and her birthday tiara.

Opening Grandma Meagher's birthday card.  It was Minnie!  How did she know?

Enjoying a doughnut that is as big as her head.

She opened her present, a new Minnie cup, Minnie doll and a Minnie dress. 

 

Then, we took 'The Boy' to spend the day with GiGi and we were off to Disneyland to meet her favorite mouse. 

All dressed up for her special day.

 

We were so lucky to find her on Main Street right when we walked in.

 

 'Munchkin' was so excited.  She calls her Tique, for Bowtique, and she kept giggling and saying "tique" when we were having our picture taken.

 

We watched the firehouse show on Main Street.  She danced along to all of the songs.

 

We let her run around Fantasyland in her backpack.  Yes it has a leash...if you knew 'Munchkin', you would totally understand.

 She had a blast with her Mommy and Daddy.

 

She only had to share with one brother. 

 

She even got to watch the parade for the 99th time.

 And we got her first pair of ears.  She is one lucky little lady.  Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
