My Imaginary Friends!

So we had a blast with all of our friends, we got to visit with my internet friends..wait, imaginary friends. Wink, wink.

We met Heather, Ryan & Sage for the first time. I wish they could've hung out more, but we were so happy to got to visit/meet them..they are the sweetest little family! And Heather is just as gorgeous in person...as is Miss Sage (who was the sweetest little girl with the dolphins, she loved them so much)! Ryan was super nice, and all the guys were chatty cathys...it was so funny. I swear they talked more during brunch than us girls (altho we were manning all the babies). It was super hot outside, and I was super sweaty..but prob not as sweaty as Jen (who thought her hotel & the Mirage were walking distance..silly gurl). LOL!

We intruded ALOT on Jen, Jer & the kids, but had so much fun with them. The kids loved each other, I swear if we swapped girls, they kids would be in hog heaven. Mabelle was "in love" with Christian (kissing him ALOT, crawling around with him, & just being a general space invader) and Nic was soooo sweet with Mabs (he even dried her off after swimming). Tailia loves Cash (and coudn't wait to hold him), and she was my BFF one day and Jason's the next day. They insisted on being in each other's stroller, to be close to their favorite babies. She is too darn sweet. We did so much together, naps were skipped and lots of laughs were shared.

Mabs already misses her friends...as do I :( So glad we had a great time, can't wait for the next visit! Major pic overload!

At the playdate..Jen & babies with Heather & Sage, waiting outside, it was waaaay hot!

Friends reunited...again. Tailia & Mabs...so sweet!

Hanging out at the casa!

Its been so hot that we've been entertaining ourselves indoors (alot), but we love each other, so it's no big deal. Cash is working hard at sitting up on his own, and can do so for a minute, before he falls back or dives forward. He is talking a lot more..well, babbling, but we call it talking here ;) He is rolling and scooting on his head so much he can get all over the living room. He's so amazing! Mabelle is such a big girl, and is so smart, sassy and sweet. She loves her "baby bwother" and has started talking back to us...which results in many minutes spent in time-out. She is finally getting night potty-trained (we've had so much going on, we've put it off)...she's doing really great at naps, and we are just gonna cold turkey night time when we run out of pullups.

Mabelle holding Cash, she looooves to hold him.

I think he loves it too :)

Playing outside at James...that sprinkler is awe-some!

She really loves this sprinkler (inside, more than outside)...can't really tell from this pic...hahaha!

Opening her gift from Sissy, Uncle Chris, Isabel & Nic.....
Cash looooves his new Teddy Bear book.
...and Mabs her new waffle maker. Cinderella carriage waffles....HELLO??! Does it get any better?
Thanks!

Another New Park

We found a new park, complete with a dinosaur dig, huge sprinkler system, and old western setup. It was really cool...James & Mabelle loved it (as did me and Pat)!

A tunnel slide
In our hats...more sun protection

The kiddos

Some pictures of our sweet kids from the past week.

Mabs playing at James' house, she loves his sand table. We might have to invest or tell the birthday fairy about this!

Cash, sitting up so well. Eyeing that poor whoozit...it's gonna get mauled here in just a few seconds.
Playing at another park..."its like the carasouel, mama".
Can you see the meltdown in her face, it happened one second after this picture was taken. She does not dig the swings.
Now, can you see the happy (and chunk) in his face? HAHAHA!
Really...just cute.
Those smiles just melt my heart.

Our New House!

We've found a house, and for those of you who wanna see it, here's the link..and here's just a few pics I stole from realtor.com. It's an amazing house with so many luxuries!! We can't wait to close on the 26th, and get moved in!

Yup, that's a pooooooool. Mabelle is so excited!

Peek-a-boo!

Mabelle was entertaining me and Cash with an obstacle course game of peek-a-boo. We just thought it was hilarious...even little man couldn't stop laughing!

Here he is stunned that she's gone! HAHAHA!
Giving him sugar, just like a good big sis does.
Uh-oh...the game was spoiled by the phone. He'd rather have that phone than anything else.

The United States

We bought a puzzle for Mabelle last Sunday, and 4 days later...she knew 28 states, and could tell you where 40ish of them go (starting from the east or west, north or south)! I say 40ish, cause they grouped the northeastern states into bigger pieces. I just wanted her to learn states where our friends and family live...but she now knows that and can identify many, many more! Here's her working on it (she does like us to help...or to show off for us). Some of her favs include Utah, California, New Mexico, Alabama, Colorado..she's so funny (& smart)!

Putting Montana above Idaho.

All done! "lets do it again, mama!"
