Big Smiles, Big Girl

Hattie is all smiles lately.  Big, teethy, drooly, cheeky happy smiles.  I love it!

In this picture she didn't want to scuff up her knees on the deck. :)

Drinking out of a Can by Hattie

Hattie loves to drink out of cans. I think it's because the can is so cold. She also loves to stick her finger in the opening, which is not so great. 

 

"First, put your whole face in the can."

"Second, make really big eyes of excitement"

"Third, smile at Mamma and try to get the can back"

"Fourth, pout when you can't have it."

Hattie and Kinley

Hattie and Kinley got together over Memorial Day weekend.  We were invited to a party at my friend Kelly's house and had a great time!  The kids played in the sun, had water fights, jumped in the bounce house and the women and men talked and laughed.  It was super fun!

So Big!

Hattie learns to do "So Big!"  She's so stinkin cute! The boys were hamming it up along with me.  It was a fun and special night.  Too bad Jeff was not there (he was in Europe) to see it.

First time on the lake

Friday night we packed up the kids after work, grabbed some food and headed out to the lake for our first boat ride of the season. It was a hot day finally and with rain in the forecast we had to take advantage of the weather. The boys were so excited. It was such a fun time! The boys were wild with excitement and wanted to go to the beach and swim. We took them there not expecting them to get I. But they did and they loved it. They ran up and down the beach and figured out how to float with life jackets on.  Hattie had a great time too!

 Owen and Chase ready for their boat ride!

 Hattie spent most of her time on the floor of the boat, it was a great, safe place for her to be.

 Hattie's first time in the captain's chair!

Play time with Hattie the Crazy

Hattie and I had fun playing last weekend the 24th.  I took her clothes off and let her play in her diaper. She crawled all over, pulled up on everything and was just crazy!  Hattie can now say "mamama" so she does this alot.  Not sure it's to call me, but I like it none the less.

Here she comes to get me. She can't be away from me for too long!

Up on my legs.

Funny face!

She's pointing at something and wants to go over there.

Oh good, she found the moss in the tree.

Going for the window

almost up,

up!  She loves to look out the window and yell at people/dogs walking by.  The boys used to love this too.

Look at those pretty blues

SOOOOO Sweetsie

giggle baby

Look at all that hair!

Now for the stairs

Hey mom, I'm going up!

I want you Mommy

Hattie Swings (and Owen too)

On the same day the brothers and cousins took Hattie for a ride in the wagon she got to ride in her swing.  She really liked it but wanted to go slowly.

Chase pushes her

Both boys get in on the action

I get a turn! 

Owen has learned to pump his legs and he's really good at it!

It's not often I'm in a picture!
