Grandpa!!!

My dad came to visit last summer for Hannah's birthday. We had lots of fun having him here. We went to the zoo, and his favorite animals- the flamingos- had just had a bunch of babies. Hannah thought that was super cool, and now every time we go we have to see if we can still tell which ones are the babies. We also went up to a super fun park in Grapevine to celebrate her birth with their cousin Emily. My girls love when Grandpa Larry comes to visit, and they were sad to see him go!

Such a creepy face. LOL

Holy cow, I'm a slacker!

I never even finished Hannah's birthday! Wow. Well, I guess we'll pick up there. For Hannah's birthday, we had some of her cousins over to our community pool to go swimming. I can't remember why the others didn't come, I think they were out of town or something. But it worked out well since we're only supposed to have, I think, 4 visitors at a time. The girls had tons of fun and, more importantly, got completely disgusting trying to eat the nasty frosting on the cupcakes. Good times!

Hannah's birthday

It's kind of hard to believe sometimes that Hannah's already 3 years old. Time is passing so fast. And then there are days when it feels like, "What?? She's only 3??? Time is passing so slowly!" But that's probably because of all the tantrums and the whining. I'm really ready for her to grow out of that a little bit. But anyway, her birthday was during the week so we had a quiet night as a family to open presents. She made out like a bandit. She got all kinds of play food, she got a doctor kit, she got a couple of Frozen dresses, she got a huge Frozen coloring book and I don't even remember now what else. Basically, we had to go get more storage for all the toys we have now. Then on Saturday, some of Dan's side of the family came over and we had a party at our community pool. The kids swam for a long time, and then Clara made a huge mess with the cupcakes! It was so much fun!

This face cracks me up.
