Oceans of Fun at 70 degrees...

The day after the girls' birthday, they got to go to Oceans of Fun with the campers. Unfortunately, it was only about 70 degrees and raining! They were freezing, but it didn't stop them.

Once again, Mike braved the little people and stepped up to help. He toted around several frozen kid pops until one chipped a tooth. They called it a day at that point!

Maddox at the Art Gallery

Maddox, Daddy and Grandpa went to the art gallery today. Mike told me that he was exposing the little man to the finer things in life. So, here is a shot of the piece that Maddox appreciate the most:

We like to entitle it "Ninny" because evidently that is what he was shouting when he saw it. :)

First Softball Game

The girls played coach pitch this summer for the first time ever. Mike volunteered to coach the girls known as "Girl Power". These are pics from the very first game. They had lots of support from Angie and the girls, Grandma and Grandpa and of course mommy and Mad Man. I had a hard time not being the loud mom yelling at her kid. Maiki was typical Maiki and got bored pretty quickly in the outfield. She was often seen drawing in the sand instead of paying attention!

Worlds of Fun!

The girls got to go to Worlds of Fun with the Baldwin Rec Center camp this summer. It was their first "grown up" trip. Of course, Mike went with them, so I didn't worry too much. :)

These are the four little green girls he got to tote around all day.


This was Makena's favorite ride, the Viking Voyager. Also one of my favorites from childhood. Even smells the same. That's probably not a good thing.



Aren't they sweet, pretending to like each other!

I'm a two!!!

Happy Birthday to you....Happy Birthday to you... My little man is two-years-old!

It's hard to believe how fast the time goes by...

Reading his card and counting his cash - one of his favorite things!

I'm happy and sad at the same time that this is his birthday. He is turning into a little kid before my eyes. He says "no", "mine" and "let go" with the best of them, but he also still loves to be held, cuddled and smooched on. This is such a fun age. Here he is telling us all he's two!!!
