Family night 4/22

We had extra fun at family night tonight playing outside!  The boys and Jen threw the football and Blair was a crazy lunatic... like no joke, she was going totally nutso with no fear everywhere she went.  She almost gave Mimi a heart attack but she was having a fantastic time.


She loved climbing up and down and sitting on this step.

Beautiful pregnant Auntie Nicole!
 Throwing the ball:



Mommy and Janae and all the non-football throwers

Here is where she got crazy, she was running up and down the steep driveway and just doing "trust-falls" that someone would catch her at the bottom.  I don't know how she got away from the night without a big fall!






Checking out Auntie Nae's "eyes" (what she calls sunglasses)

I can do it too!

 This is so cute... Blair's thought bubble "gosh, I really love you Mimi!"
 Checking out some more "eyes"

Letting it all hang out!
Since she was being so crazy, I ran and got these wild pants.  They were a hand-me-down but I figured they were good to have around in the summer for throwing on for protection, and I was right.  Luckily she had them on becasue she totally biffed it while running and I think this saved her knees and thank heavens she somehow missed her face because we really thought it was going to be bad!


She loves Aunite Nae's boyfriend Nick, she always says "up" to him!


Finding seats wherever she can!

Fun with Daddy and Aunties

We went to the park to take maternity pictures for Aunties Nicole and Jen.  Daddy played with Blair at the park while we took the pictures.  We looked over to see them having a great time in the grass with daddy throwing Blair up high!


 She ran over to her aunties to say hi! Then she played chase with Jen, that is her favorite... Jen knows how to make her squeal in delight when they run!





 Wheel-barrow time!
 We caught a few family shots... excuse the sweat!


Auntie let Blair try on her "pretty" or as Blair calls it, "Pity, pity, pity" in the voice of smigle from Lord of the Rings


And of course, a few shots of the beautiful mommies-to-be!

Tradition

After this fancy purple dress was first bought for Nicole, all of us girls got our picture taken in it.  Unfortunately, we couldn't find Janaes.  We took Blair in for her first studio portraits that were not taken by me and tried to recreate the moment!  Luckily we did it when we did because it was already looking small on her.  These were taken of Blair at 15 months....

 Mommy, Blair, Auntie Nicole


More of Blair:






It is pretty special to have something we all can look back on and compare.  Hopefully someday Blair will have a little girl and then the dress will be REALLY old!

Playtime with Landon

For our monthly playgroup this month we only had one friend to play with.  Blair enjoyed most of it but she got possessive of her toys and hit him and then also pushed him off the stairs of the slide and climbed right over him to try to go ahead.  We had some little tantrums from being told no, it is tough but it has to be done!


Already learning how to be the boss!
