Fun at the birthday party

These foam things were extremely difficult to get out of and I always needed an adult to help me. But then after the adult helped me, I usually screamed in their face because I wanted to do it by myself. Therefore after this pattern continued over and over, I was eventually banned from the foam pit


My Uncle Mattie came to our party all the way from his house that is far away. He thought he would try to show us how to do the iron cross. Maybe Lilly should show him how it's done.


Yummy cupcakes. I prefer the frosting on my face rather than in my mouth.


Lilly can do her circus swing and I will stick to the safer swing


I had to ask Nana to feed me my cupcake because I didn't like frosting on my hands or really on my face...seriously a clean eater

The Party!!

Check out our awesome birthday "room." We met all our friends at Healdsburg Gymnastics and had such a great time. We were hyper all day bouncing off the walls at home knowing something was special about the day called our birthday

Check out our digs :)


I jumped on the trampoline most of the day. The best part about a trampoline is when you fall, it doesn't usually hurt that bad


Ditto what she said


I personally enjoyed this game of play called "toss the toddler"


Here is a swing that goes really high in the air. I of course didn't shy away like my BIG brother

Happy Birthday to us!

Today is our second birthday! We weren't actually born until 3:30pm. Drew came first, and then Lilly a minute later. We have come a long way since that day. We love being two. And even though it's only 9am, we can already tell how much better being two is rather than just one year olds :)

Autumn Fun

We got invited out to an apple farm in Sebastopol for some fun Fall activities. There was this huge property with Apple trees all over, a fun new(to us) play structure, bikes to ride, hay rides on tractors, and much more....

Lilly of course decided to throw dirt on herself(good shot by Angie proving we are raising pig pen in the flesh)


This is her hair after trying to get the dirt out...it was much worse


The fun hay rides out to the Apple Orchard


Lilly thought Micah and Luke could use some help getting around in the 4-wheeler. Just call Lilly if you need a push...


She will push you with a smile


I promise Drew came too :) He was off doing scooters and bikes...

Some good ole' apple pickin

We got to go out and pick apples off a real big tree. We were mostly in charge of picking the apples off the ground and putting them in the "special bag for Lilly and Drew."



Mommy lifted me up to pick one actually off the tree.


Our cousin Micah and Aunt "Mamey"(we hear people call her Amy, but we prefer Mamey) came out with us to enjoy the yummy, pure organic red apples.


Micah helped scout out some good ones, and I insisted on helping.


We did our job very efficiently


I try to pick up as many as I possibly can and then usually end up getting mad because I drop them ever other second.

Adobe Pupmkin Patch

We got invited to our friend Brody's birthday party on Sunday at a Pumpkin patch. There were so many fun things to do there.


I wanted to climb the giant hay stack. I lost my footing quite often, but didn't give up.


Ohhhh, the view from the top was awesome. I like being taller than other people for once.


Mommy has to trick us by saying something like, "look at the giant balloon" so we will look at the camera somewhat at the same time. This doesn't capture the best picture for mommy.


A picture of the family on a hay ride. Look what happens when no tricks are involved. I mean what is so interesting on the ground?

More of the pumpkin patch

Whooooooa, that is one big cow.



It is only polite to greet, wave, and say hello to cows


I loved running through this hay maze. I never even got lost.


Is she mad at me because I can do the maze better than her? I did not touch her.
