Fashion Disaster!

Yikes!! This is what happens to poor Ada if daddy picks out her outfit! I came home from work to see my poor baby girl dressed in these pink pants with hearts on them paired with a striped shirt. The stripes on the shirt don't even match the pants! I couldn't help but take a picture. Dave says its my fault for not picking out an outfit for Ada. I asked him why he can pick out an outfit for Benjamin and not Ada and he says he can't figure out girl clothes. For Ada's sake, I am hoping that Dave's clothing selection abilities impove.

Masyn's Park

We take the kids to Masyn's Park quite a bit. Okay, I must admit we are regulars there. We log in quite a few hours playing there. We have it pretty luck as Masyn's Park is right at the end of our street. It is so nice to be able to walk to the park and play. Ada has always been more interested in the stroller ride to the park versus swinging or sliding but yesterday she was in love with going down the slide. She is such a little cutie! Please disregard the silly looking mommy in this video. I was in the field for most of the day at work and really didn't feel like changing clothes to go to the park.

The Blue Park

Benjamin loves going to the "blue park". The blue park is actually the elementary school playground. It has great slides for sliding but it is not very good for swinging. Since it is an elementary school it lacks toddler swings. It also has a lot of cool things to climb on, swing from, crawl on, etc. Benjamin loves going across what we call the "drawbridge" and climbing up the "arch". See for yourself. Anybody know how to flip the second video?

Taking matters into my own hands or (in this case) my mouth

Ada refuses to wear a bid. If we put one on her she takes it right off. She will let out a yell of frustration and then off it goes. She also likes grabbing her spoon and taking it away from us. She also likes to clamp down on her spoon and not let go. She thinks she is pretty big stuff when she does that. She is definitely our little angel and we can't imagine what our life would be like without her.

Gift Wrapped Present Cake

I was excited to learn how to decorate cakes with fondant. Don't ever buy the pre-made Wilton fondant. It might be easy to work with but it tastes AWFUL! I make marshmallow fondant (MMF). This recipe actually tastes pretty good. You will find that you really get up close and personal with your fondant decorations. The secret to working with MMF is crisco and you must roll your MMF pretty thin. I had fun making this "present" cake. My bow's not perfect but the overall cake is pretty cute.

Movie Star

This picture is just too precious! I caught Benjamin wearing his sister's sunglasses the other day. Ada has not had a chance to wear them yet as they are too big for her but Benjamin has been breaking them in. Doesn't he look like a little stud?

Hide-and-Seek

Ada hiding underneath a kitchen chair.

I found you sister!

Mommy, Benjamin won't leave me alone!

Ada has gotten to be a fast crawler. You can't turn your back on her because she gets into everything! She enjoys playing with her big brother and he likes playing with her. There favorite game to play together is hide-and-seek. Ada hid or actually crawled into the kitchen under a chair and got distracted. While she was playing Benjamin noticed that she was gone and decided to going looking for her. He found her underneath one of the kitchen chairs and decided that he would join her. Ada apparently wanted no part of Benjamin invading her space and she let him have it!
