Pretty as a Princess

I knew it would happen, since my friends 2 year old does it to her baby brother (poor Christian ;) but it was still HILARIOUS when Mabelle figured out that she could dress little Cash up as a princess. Not sure how funny Cash will think it is, when he's old enough to care!

The Kids are Playing...

Whoa, its crazy to say that! But here they are, playing and being silly together. Mabelle was singing and wallering for Cash, and he was laughing so hard at her and looking at her in complete awe. It was too sweet.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

How sweet is Jason with his babies...he's the very best. Happy Father's Day, hon!

And then there was...

SWEET POTATOES!
Cereal....CHECK
Peas....CHECK
Green Beans....CHECK
Apple Juice in his cereal....CHECK
Carrots....CHECK
And now sweet potatoes. He isn't loooving any of it, but he sure does eat it all. He'll make a face when he starts the food, and then gobbles it ALL up. He eats a jar of food, and then cereal for his dinner. It's the equivalent of 2.5 jars of food. Can we say...chunky?? HAHAHA!

Dog Drama

Our poor Sunny had a hematoma in her ear (a pocket that fills up with blood), and had to have emergency surgery to drain it. Thank goodness we opted for the surgery, she had the beginnings of infection in it too! She's doing better, drugged BIG time, and is happy we love her enough to foot the 1k bill for it...yup, 1k....

BEFORE:

The ear sticking up (which is not normal) is the one with the hematoma, its swollen...supposed to only be a flat, paper-thin ear.

AFTER:
Cone and radiology film stitched to her ear (for it to heal correctly)...and of course, doped up eyes. Poor puppy!

This & that.

So its been HOT lately, and we've spent alot of time indoors. Mabelle had a tummy bug on last Thursday, which included throwing up 6x in less than 3hrs...poor baby! Jason was at work, while we mustered thru the sickness...she bounced back the next day like nothing was ever wrong! And after lots of Oust & hand sanitizer we are all free & clear of the virus..woohoo! But here's some proof of us having fun :)

Mabelle in her new fav hat...she'll yank it off and saw "YO HAAAW", and then laugh and say "YEEEE HAW!" Goofball.

Her new skirt tutu & tap shoes for her "Ballerina Class" she starts this week.
"A Barbie Mariposa Princess Barbie dress!!!" That's what she calls this dress that Nana had to buy for her.
Our budding artist...its faces, with arms :)
Trying to get Chunky to sit up on his own.
Playing with his Whoozit toy.
Sucking his fingers..so cute!
Laughing.
More laughing!! (Excuse the junk in her teeth--grrroooosss-she just ate lunch)

Playdate with the Ducks...they loved us!

Me, the kids, Pat & James went to another park (there's a BAZILLION around here), and had a picnic and fed the ducks (and crazy pigeons--I think they were crazy pigeons). The kids...LOVED IT; the ducks...LOVED IT; the crazy pigeons...LOVED IT the most!! Here's the pics, there were so many cute ones, I tried to include quite a bit.

The kids running (holding hands...sooo sweet), to go feed the ducks.

Cash, happy in his new onesie (thanks Heather....HAHAHA) on the princess picnic blanket.
Patiently waiting for the ducks to notice them.
Watching them swim over.
Both leaning over to see all of the crazy, hungry ducks.
Just a few.
Trying very hard to see all of them eating the bread she was throwing.

Doing it all by herself.

James getting a better look.
There are those crazy pigeons...they were getting sooo close. I had to bean them with the bread to get them to back up. Thought I was gonna have to wrestle them, while holding Cash.
Picnic time...cantelope. The only thing she ate that I brought..Pat & James food was much better. Hahaha!
Using a juice box holder to hold her cereal bar..watching James collect pine cones.
