A Fun Video

Adelee got a new tricycle for her birthday. The video was taken the day after she got it. She was so excited...until she got on and it was harder than she thought it was going to be! She got daddy to help for awhile but then she asked to have Gordie push her and man was he excited to help out! He was laughing the whole time! A couple of days later she was riding her tricycle without any help (until she ends up against the house or off the sidewalk and in the grass).

Adelee and Gordie love to play "Crash Boom" in Gordie's crib!

Enjoy the fun!

Also...Gordie has started to walk (more than just the falling forward steps).He is amazing us! He loves to wave bye bye, give kisses, he pushes the power button on the new battery powered (pink) car and rides it all over the back yard (I'll get a video soon). We sure are having fun!

"Happy Birthday Party" with Bert and Ernie

We had a wonderful Bert and Ernie birthday party for Adelee this weekend! She was a doll and so wonderful with all of her guests/friends! I can only take credit for the baking....Chuck decorated the AMAZING Bert and Ernie cake! He is amazing and I might force him into the cake making business very soon! (our guests were all trying to hire him)

Our wonderful friends Doug and Melissa and their 22 month old daughter Amelia (who was Adelee's best friend for the first year of her life) stayed with us for a few nights while they were in town from Boston. We had a wonderful time and were so blessed to have them here for Adelee's birthday celebration! Amelia is a doll and the 3 of the kids were so cute together!

Happy BIrthday Adelee

As I'm sitting here I can hear Adelee in her bed singing "Happy Birthday to ME...Happy Birthday to Me"

We had a wonderful day! It started out with Adelee playing with the "baby" down the street who she loves! Then we stopped by the local Fire Station for a tour of the trucks. While we were there they had a call so we got to see 2 trucks "go bye-bye". But the tour continued for a good 20 more minutes! Adelee loves fire trucks (ever since she was rescued by firemen when she was 13 months old. Plus they go past our house at least once a day. Then we had a nice lunch where the waiters came over singing happy birthday and gave Adelee a scoop of ice cream with a candle on top. She blew it right out without any hesitation! Then off to the Marry-Go-Round where we all had a wonderful ride! Finally, we ended the day with dinner at the park and a game of whiffle ball with Nel and Jen. And now they are both asleep and Chuck and I are celebrating an amazing past 2 years!

The end of May update!

We are having a wonderful birthday for Adelee...but I'm not going to post those pictures until the day is over...more fun to come. But I thought I would catch you all up a bit. We have been to another of Unkie Nelbo's baseball games and got some cute photos. We also went to a birthday party at TravelTown and had a blast playing with friends and looking at/climbing on/riding on all the trains.

Gramma K's Visit

We had a wonderful visit from Gramma Kaiton! She was here for a week and we started out the week with a wonderful Cinco de Mayo style birthday party for Aunty Jen!

Mary got to do some great bonding with both Adelee and Gordie. But, I think some of the charished "girl time" was super cute! Mary got to play salon and do hair, dance, go to dance class, make cookies, and hang out at the American Girl doll shop at the Grove.

We had a wonderful time and can't wait until July for her next visit...Grampa will join her then...maybe with another Stanley Cup victory under his belt.

Check out Nel and Jen's blog to see some cute video's of Adelee when she was a littler one.

Ernie and Bert!!!!

We had a wonderful weekend!  Everyday Gordie is learning new things (standing on his own, saying mama and uh oh, eats everything, and loves to try anything Adelee does).  Adelee says everything and repeats everything!  My favorites are "Nice" and "Oh my goodness" and "Ernie and Berp".  And it just so happens that Ernie and Bert were visiting our Zoo this weekend so Gordie, Adelee, Auntie Jen and I went and stood in line for an hour and a half to see them!  And it sure was worth it!  We also got to see a turtle close up.  The crazy little guy came out from hiding and pretty much ran over to us to say "hi" it was great! Then we went back to Jen's place cause Adelee really wanted to see her Bobo (Nelbo).  We had some yummy In and Out burgers, fries and chocolate milkshake.  Gordie LOVED the burger and fries and Adelee just couldn't stop drinking the milkshake! Sunday we relaxed, got the house ready for Gramma's visit, and enjoyed our back yard!

We are going great!  I can't believe Adelee is almost 2 and Gordie...wow...almost one already!
