Family Pictures

With everyone in town to Celebrate wonderful Grandpa Cliffy we took the opportunity to capture some family pictures.  This was Blair and Nora's first time meeting any of this family and she loved the little boy Bret.

 Great Grandma did not want Jason to pick her up... but he did anyway of course!

Nana came to watch so we took a Mom-Son pic :)

Memorial Day BBQ

We were invited over to the Cabellero house for Memorial Day and it was a fun time with our friends.

These are some great dads!

We let Nora loose in the backyard and she had a ball!

 The big kids did too, they ran through the sprinkler.

 There was a playhouse too, that can entertain Nora for hours.

 A nice round of ring-around-the-rosie

 Nana went with us too!

 Nora loves to sit in chairs so I put this chair next to Jason to entertain her and she looked so cute sitting with all the guys.

Allie and Blair started a "Let it Go" performance...

 Jackson joined. I love the pic of Blair, she totally looks like she is at a rock concert or something.

 Hahaha, Nora was so funny standing on this scooter, she was taking it VERY seriously.

 Daddy and Nora eating Aubrey's chunky legs, this baby is adorable!

Phone Dump

 at the library

Bathtub paints got a bit messy... and they also stained skin... oops!

 Watching the bobcat during backyard construction.  The kids loved watching!

Stylish!

 Stringing Easter eggs to make a banner.  She did so good at stringing them through!

 Blair got to hold baby Noa and she was IN LOVE.  She just kept saying, "she's so CUTE!" and she asks about her all the time now.  She held her for a long time too, she wouldn't let me have her!

Nightime crafts for special time.

 Blair wrote her name for the first time on May 12 with just the help of a few dots.  It is so much fun to see her progress.

Blair and almost the whole family came down with the plague in late March.  It was SO awful and kept Blair down a long time.  She was a trooper though.  Daddy was bad too.  Somehow I was spared and Nora was mostly spared but she definitely wasn't feeling her best.

 Nora is enjoying riding on the towel after bath time!

 I cant help but love my little sleeping angels.

 Nora is really starting to enjoy playing with little people.  She likes to stand them up in the house or castle or whatever it is.

 She's learning to use a spoon and is actually quite good at it!

 Daddy throws her SO high!  It scares me!

 Putting puff balls in canisters is what I have her do when I work in the kitchen.  She has her own cabinet to play in.

 Post night milk drunk for one of our last times.  Nora quit nursing on me at about 13.5 months by sticking her tongue out and spitting at me!  Ok, I will take that as a sign!

 A busy girl!

 She was being evil and going through this gate when I told her not to.

Playing with beans and the construction tractors is more fun if you sit IN the tray of beans!

Here she is another time of doing what I tell her not to do!  She loves to play on the stairs and she will spot this open gate from a mile away and run over so fast to try to get in.

 poop face... I couldn't resist.

Blair was gone and Nora got to play with the amulet by herself.  We had fun playing whatever Nora wanted.
