Peanut's Birthday

Little Peanut has been pretty excited about here birthday. And here it is. Princess themed. Tangled themed really.

Here's the birthday girl:


And the new coat from Nanny that got opened a little early:

It's a little hard to get a group picture

I've had requests for new pictures. It doesn't help when the camera goes missing for a month. The old touch doesn't really capture useful pictures. This is from the new phone. it's better but not great.


Poor RyRy has a funny look. Peanut is shouting "cheese" at the top of her lungs. However BigE is smilling. Which is rare so this is a keeper!

Riding Her Big Girl Bike

From the past week or so our little girl has moved up to the training wheels. She's had lots of power on the three wheeler and it didn't take long to get used to the bigger bike.


I bet Mama that if we made a little effort we might be able to get her off the training wheels before the fall. But if she ever did scrape her knees we'd never hear the end of it!

Water Rockets

This week we took a trip to the Science and Tech museum. One of the displays was the water bottle rockets that the kids got to fire. It was a slightly different setup from the one we have at home. It has fins and a cool pressure nozzle on the water bottle.

BigE lined up for a shot


Here's his rocket and one of the others


Peanut decided she wanted a turn. So big brother helped out.


Here's the shot:

Pictures are terrible because they were grabbed with my iPod touch. Which really has a terrible camera ... except compared to no camera.

Weeeeeeee

On the weekend we hit a friends house for a little Sunday afternoon pool time.

BigE getting some good leaps into the pool:


The new little miss brave, with Dada wincing in anticipation plus Rye hanging out by the pool

Thundershowers

Rye and Peanut got a chance to play with some rain when we recently had a day of hard rain. Something like 50 mm during the day.

Here is little Rye venturing out to the rain. It took a few minutes to leave the safety of the garage. He was getting ever so close to the water.


But once he was in it was fun!


Peanut had no problem with the rain but figured it made more sense to get the umbrella. Which to her is about as much fun as playing in the rain.

More Party Cake

Baby Avenue had her, tiny bit early, 1st birthday party. Here she is with Rye eating cake. Nothing like yummy cake. Especially to a messy eater like Rye


And the after shot



Enough said!

Quote of the Day 87

Peanut looks during dinner and announces
"There's my mommy, that's my daddy, that's my brother"

Mamma pointing at the end of the table "Who's that?"

Peanut "That's my RyeRye!!"
