Mae and Isaac

Maeby and Isaac are the best of friends. Here are some recent pics:

They had to go "work on" the tree together. It mostly consisted of them hitting it with their sticks, and then standing back and critiquing each other.

Picking berries

The best part about this is right after the picture was taken, when Isaac jumped off the table, declared that he was going to find dinner for her, and then went in search of game in the grass with his stick-rifle

Watching Woody and Buzz together (they kept holding hands during the tense parts)

Sharing cake at her birthday party

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we went to the pumpkin patch with Maeby's cousins in Salem:

Maeby's Birthday Party

We had an awesome birthday party for Maeby. She had a great time with her Toy Story themed party and loads of friends!

Thanks again to all of our friends & family who came and played with us!

Girl Likes to Color

Maeby will spend ages coloring and lately she's been so diligent and really trying to make her pictures "just so"

Most of the time she ends up coloring all over herself as well and often much of the table, and, thankfully, rarely anywhere else. She takes great pride in her work.

2nd birthday - October 1st

Maeby turned 2 on October 1st!!!

We had a fun filled day!

Maeby and I went swimming together - in that she came with me as usual to help teach the friday waterbabies/waterkids classes:

After a lot of fun swimming, we went home and battled trying our new toddler bed. Maeby cried it out and this is where she ended up napping:

She LOVED opening her gifts. She got lots of fun toys - here are two of her favorites:

A Toy Story Lego Duplo set from Aunt Karen, Uncle Brian, Jordan, Christian, Sarah & Katie

And a kitchen all her own complete with food from Mama & Papa

For dinner we went to one of our favorite haunts - Jamies and got yummy food. We decided to do a birthday milkshake instead of a cake - I don't think Maeby minded in the least.
