Arghhhhh

Another birthday party today. Teaguen turned 5 and we celebrated with pirate magicians, bunnies, more balloon animals and a pinata. I loved Veda's bunt when it was her turn at the pinata... she just kind of pushed it out of the way with the stick. Oh Veda.

Birthday Party in Malibu

Today we took Veda and Adele to a birthday party for a co-worker's 3 yr. old son.  It was down at Malibu Bluffs Park and luckily we had some pretty good weather during the party.  It was a kite themed party, so after the clown and lunch, everyone got to fly a kite. Right on cue, as the party ended, it started pouring rain. Veda was a lot more interested in the bulldog she spotted than flying kites, regardless, everyone had a great time.



Mmmm, yummy cake.

Clown, make me a bicycle.

Bedtime for Bongo.

Saturday Dell and her new shoes

He he he

Here we go again!

I spent Tuesday evening at Urgent Care with Baby Dell. She has another ear infection. Dr. said that one more in the next 6 weeks and she gets tubes - please no!! She is also sick (threw all up over our clean sheets on our bed last night) and now she's passed it on to me. I just HOPE I get over this before my work trip to AZ on Monday.

Veda had her 2.5 year check-up this week. She is still off the charts at 97% across the board. The Dr. was super impressed with her language and couldn't believe she was talking to him in full sentences. She had to have one shot and it took all my strength to hold her down - sad but she got over it quickly with the mention of lollipops and stickers.

Free Rides

Adele crawled under the table while Todd was working and took a seat on his feet;)

Chef Todd

Todd broke out the wire skewers that Nonnie and Bull got him for xmas. An excellent tool to have in your arsenal.

Valentines Day at School

Thanks for the pics - Miss Michelle

Daddy's Friends

Keegan and Dave were over for dinner Sat night (and slept here because they had about 20 too many cocktails). Veda has been asking ever since where Daddy's friends went. She keeps asking if Keegan is going home on an airplane to see his Mommy.

Happy Valentines Day!

Veda gets to wear her tutu to school today in honor of the big day. I discovered little Dell has enough hair for bows... but she thinks they taste better in her mouth than on her head. Thanks Didi and Papi, Ownen, and Nonnie and Bull for all the valentines gifts! Over the top! I'll post pics later of Veda and her loot.

Daddy's Home!

Field Trip!!!

Veda's preschool took a field trip to the post office today! Since Veda and Riley are the two youngest they got to ride in the wagon and oh boy was Veda excited.

Veda likes to...

Veda's teacher asked us to bring in family pictures and created a collage in the classroom. Today when I went to pick her up she was very excited to show me the pictures of our family. Miss Michele said that Veda usually cries when she goes over to look at the photos because she misses us. So sad. She also had asked Veda what she likes to do and posted the responses on the wall. Veda likes to "Eat Lunch - Bacon", " Go to Daddy's Birthday - In California" and "watch Shrek".

Pink Polka Dots

Veda has had lots of tumbles lately. I would like to say it's because she's playing hard but it's really because she dictates which shoes she wears and lately she has been selecting her pink polka dot rain boots. They are a size too big so she gets running and trips. It does not deter her though. She loves her "pretty" boots.

Happy Birthday Auntie Kel. We LOVE You!

Here's your gift! The girls tested it out and gave it the thumbs up;) I picked it up for a steal at a garage sale and it's in excellent condition. It came with the helmet and flag and even has a handlebar you can attach so you can use it as a jogger. Sorry shipping isn't included so you have to come see us to get it;)! It's the InSTEP Quick N Easy if you want to check out the details online. Hope you like it and hope you have the special day you deserve. XO

Tricks

Adele loves to wave bye-bye, stick out her tongue and clap her hands... all on command!

Trouble

Funday with Dad

I can't remember the name of this game... but Veda loved it.

I Scary

Veda always says "I scary" or "that scary me." Last night we were watching V (bad idea with her in the room) and she said "Hey these guys are scary my feelings." Mine too Veda, mine too.

Duck Hi DaDa

I was really pushing Adele on "Duck" hoping it would be her first word... just like her sister. Unfortunately it's just going to be plain old "Hi". She loves to wave and say "Hi". It's especially cute when she does it to strangers while we are out and about. She gets herself lots of attention and she knows it too;)

I have heard traces of DaDa and Duck as well but I'm not ready to call it a "new word" quite yet.

Sad Tummy

Our neighbor's birthday was yesterday. She bought over pink strawberry cupcakes. I let Veda have one for dessert and she demanded more. "Mommy, my tummy is crying. It needs another cupcake to feel all better." She is getting very crafty with her words;)
