Daniel's 4th Birthday Party At Pump It Up!

Daniel was very proud that he blew out the candle all by himself! (we were a little nervous that his face was going to end up in the cake)

Rebecca Keeps Growing UP!

Our little angel just keeps growing up before our eyes. She can now give you a "High Five" which is so adorable. She says "Hi" to everyone she sees and she will keep saying it louder and louder until you say "Hi" back to her. Strangers out there are getting some smiles from just a simple "Hi" from Rebecca.

My favorite thing right now is that Rebecca likes to watch me put on my makeup! I gave her 2 little travel size brushes and she plays with them in the bathroom while I am putting on my makeup - she wants to be just like Mommy. I love it!

Daniel gets his first pet - EANO the Goldfish!

Daniel won his first goldfish at Frying Pan Farm Park Carnival! He was so excited I was not sure if the fish would make it home. We got a bucket of balls to throw in the fish bowls and I landed two and Daniel landed one! He named his fish EANO - he was very clear about this on the way home. EANO is the one with white spots. And there is also a Mommy and Daddy fish (sound familiar???????).Daniel has been studying the fish patiently ever since we arrived home. He loves them. This was the best time all weekend - just seeing him so happy. I won Daniel a stuffed guitar and he won Rebecca a dolphin.










Happiest boy ever with his fish at home.






Very cool peacock at the farm




Daniel on the swing ride for the first time!





Daniel loved riding on the fire engine and ringing the bell. Plus the ride attendant gave him a free ride since the fire truck was full on his first turn.


Daniel wants to drive my car so this one was no problem for him!




Poor Rebecca was just so hot! She held up really well.



Blue is Daniel's favorite color!





Finally a ride that Daniel could ride by himself! Thank goodness a couple rides had 36 inches instead of 42 inches :)


checking out the roosters



Daniel loved the horses.

Frying Pan Farm Park always puts on such a great festival! We had so much fun on the rides, playing the games and seeing the animals. Now Daniel has his first pet - his goldfish EANO. He is so excited to feed the fish and watch them. I hope they survive for a while. The guy at the carnival told me to put ice cubes in the water to keep them cold and only give them a little pellet of food every other day.

Oh no - tragedy already struck Daddy fish. I told Daniel we had to flush him down the toilet just like Nemo to get him back to the ocean! So Daniel actually flushed the toilet!

Yikes - EANO met the same fate at Daddy fish. Lets see if Mommy is the strongest :)

Rebecca with her "Purse"

Just like her Mommy!




Rebecca found my mini-purse for cell phone and blackberry. So she decided it was her purse and carried it around all morning. Too cute.
