Adia and Addy both got to carry around kitties the whole night!
Addy was fearless around the animals!
Had to give the donkey kisses!
We got these dresses over a year ago and they still fit! We finally got a few pics of them being twinsies!
JT STILL refuses to let me get a good video of his new skills. He's doing great with his walking! He walked all the way around the circle at our house today except for falling twice and getting back up. He did let me grab a couple of steps on video (ignore the little goon smiling at the bottom of the screen :)).
My "Tiny Dancer" (go ahead and hum the tune in your head!)
Here is AJ scolding the boys for playing with Noras balloons.... The rule enforcer strikes again!
Sophia trying to get a smooch on JT!
Soph and TyTy going for a walk pushing the stroller!
Today we went to the zoo and had a blast!
The kids were super good. Everyone played nice and got along.
Rode a turtle.
My baby boy...
Addy's "paw" against a polar bear paw!
We randomly ran into our friend Jaeden in the ride area! So Addy, Jaeden, and I rode the swings and the tea cups! (Jaeden is in red in front of AJ and me).
The kids even rode the train all by themselves!
The butterfly exhibit was a hit!
We all even rode the carosel! JT's first pony ride!
After we got home, after naptime, we played outside for a little bit and here is my son... crawled into a big puddle! Boys!
Styler Tyler!
And then it was hair night!
Two stranded Senglanese twists are AJ's signature look! Super cute!
The good news... They play very well together!
How handsome is he!
Took a trip just me and the kids to the nearby county fair. Got in some petting zoo time and fed the animals. AJ LOVES this so we tend to make the rounds to numerous county fairs to do the same!
This was the best picture I got of the two of them together! (note the little dog JT is holding, AJ won for him!)
Movie night!
Her super cute hair! Sometimes you find a style that just looks so cute and fits the personality just right... Well this is one of those styles. Of course anything with the two stranded twists looks great on AJ! They were made for her!
Butt shot!
Played at the nearby park a couple times this week.
The rear view..... For some reason I really love random odd shots and this one seems incredibly cute to me... Maybe because AJ is hard to get a good picture of at the moment (camera smile or camera avoidance) so the random shots fit her better!
Ty stylin' with sissys glasses!
Lindsy found Pop-Its! (Does anyone else remember these from the late 80's early 90's? So Addy and I made a necklace and a bracelet. She loves them. They are a "only when Tyler is sleeping" toy so that he doesnt get ahold of one of the beads. So now when he goes to bed she asks to wear them! SO Cute!
Tonight we tried a new craft... FINGER PAINTS! Brave, I know... so everyone got in their diaper, hair was tied back, we went outside.... And well, it was less than event full.
Made a few cute paintings, was excited to have paint on her hands!
Future Picasso!
Ty on the other hand, had absolutely no interest in painting, could have cared less. His creative spirit led him to this instead....
Then we did a progressive hand print... Jareds in blue, Me in orange, AJ in purple, Ty in green. It'll look better when they are a few years older so that their fingers are up with ours!
Faux-hawk! Ever start a style you think is going to be cute and something like this happens instead and you've already got 2 hours into it so aren't sure what to do? The intended hairdo, cornrows up the sides to half way then two big cornrows from the ends of all the braids... Well I braided them too close to the center so the cornrow looked ridiculous... The fix (which I dont have a picture of) was just to pull it all into one big puff.... We'll work on a real fix in a day or two!
And so there you go. Another random post on just stuff!
Sunburst parting pattern!
JT got his first REAL do'... Finger Coils! They were one of my favorite styles when AJ was little and after seeing Jaeden again with his super cute finger coils, I figured I should at least attempt them on Ty and see if his hair would hold them. They are already loosening and coming out as his hair is pretty fine still but hopefully as his hair thickens and grows in, we will be able to do super cute coils for a while!
Its amazing that a boy just knows what to do with cars... Yes we are bad parents who have not given the poor kid any boy toys yet! He pushed them all over the house and is still playing with them all the time!
After the party, playing with their new musical instruments... Still sharing nicely!
Smiler Tyler
This little cake was brought by Jareds mom... see the little circus figures... those are from Jareds first birthday cake!
Exhausted after the party.
JT and Jaeden playing in the little house... I wish this was a close up so you could see how amazing Jaedens hair is!
Nell and TyTy playing house already!
The end of the group shot!
But here's the keeper!
Look, BOY TOYS! 
Party shot!
After a little help from daddy! (some friends took more pics during the process so those will be coming eventually!)
Crammed into the baby pool.
Happy Daddy and Birthday Boy!
The new climber from Fabulous Aunt Cathy and Meena! Delivered special by Papa and his trailer!
The most amazing cake ever! Thanks to meena for helping with this!
All in all it was a good day, kind of crazy, really busy, but he had a good first birthday! Can you believe he is ONE!!!!
