On your mark

Once Janie settled down and the girls got some lunch, it was off to the stick horse races.

Charlotte is either way ahead of everyone or well behind the other kids...you decide.

after the horses

Janie was not impressed with being taken off the horses. She cried for about 20 minutes and kept screaming "I ride horsey!" It was so sad.

Charlotte on the other hand, was just fine getting off the horse since she got her cowgirl hat back.+

"I ride horsey!"

Charlotte really enjoyed riding the horses, but Janie LOVED it! She was a natural up there.

and yeah, the fuzzy boots were kicked off shortly after getting there since it was about 90 degrees and Jane got hot.

Cowgirls

We took the kids out to the Georgetown Chislom Trail ride the other weekend. Cha Cha was very excited to wear her hat and boots. Janie wanted to wear her boots too but these fuzzy ones were the only pair we have that fit her.


At the event, the girls got to ride horses. Charlotte love it!

the best daddy ever!

Before we headed home, Brian helped Charlotte climb a tree. She was pretty worried that she'd fall even though Brian was right behind her the whole time.

Cha Cha pretty much thinks her dad is the best daddy in the whole world!

Who needs foam?

Jane didn't care too much about the foam pitt, all she wanted was watermelon!

and more watermelon...

and more watermelon...

and more watermelon!

While Cha Cha played with foam...

Janie choose to have more sno-cone.

And then take a walk with her sno-cone.

more Labor Day

Jane and Charlotte got thirsty after all the bouncing so we had a sno-cone that they shared.



Then it was off to the bubble foam pitt. At first, Charlotte was a bit concerned with it...

Then she got closer....

And then she loved it!

Labor Day Fun

Today, the neighborhood had a party at the park for Labor day. The girls had a great time with all the fun and exciting things at the park. It started with a bounce house...

A naptime performance

Today, while she should have been taking a nap, Brian walked in on Charlotte giving a ballet dance recital to her toys and her piggy bank. She changed out of her clothes and into a leotard and tutu; lined up her toys and piggy bank on the bed and was practicing her dancing to the music that was playing. Not quite as restful as a nap, but pretty darn cute to walk in on.

Jane: Adorable or Animal?

What's is this? It's a 2.5lb block of cheese. Why is it on the blog? Well, this is what happens when Jane is left alone with the 2.5lb block of cheese. That's right -- those divots on the right side -- those are bite marks. In 30 seconds Jane took three huge bites out of a block of cheese. Then then proceeded to eat even more cheese for dinner.

Did we mention that cheese is her favorite food?

But it has us wondering...is Jane part mouse? Or perhaps...French? Or even from Wisconsin? She loves cheese more than any Texan I've ever met.

So...unless you want it to go missing...when Jane comes for dinner...LOCK UP YOUR CHEESE!

My Cake for Daddy

Even though I've been home sick for a long time, I still have enough energy to do things. And today I decided to bake a cake for Daddy. I admit, Mom did the baking part, since ovens are TOO HOT, but I mixed in the bowl and put the M&Ms on, so I did the first and last parts, which everyone knows are the most important parts!

I know it's hard to tell, but it's a STAR cake -- my favorite. And after I baked it, we all sat down and ate it up.

Maybe you can see...my Daddy is very proud of me. I like it when I do good things for my Mommy and Daddy. And cake is the best thing I can ever make.

First Cool Day since April

Today was the first cool day since April. This morning my Daddy said it was only 78 degrees. So we got out in the backyard and played with water. We have a huge inflatable elephant sprinkler, and buckets, and cups, and bubbles -- when combined become lots and lots of laughter.

But I got very tired. So tired I forgot what I was doing and fell asleep. Here I am...snoring peaceful dreams of fun.

Finally loving oranges

My sister and I have decided, after a long time, that we finally love oranges. Janie likes the tiny little mandarin oranges because they're sweet. And I love the clementines because they're sour.

A tale of two sisters

The other day we were trying to compare the differences between Charlotte at 19 months and Jane today. Here is what we came up with....can you tell the difference?
