Graham outside playing but he is usally just watching what his sister is doing.


Addy had to help mow the lawn the other night.  Doesn't everyone mow in their sparkly church shoes?


Addy showing off her painted turtle, Emma, from Grandpa.


Inspecting it a little closer.


Graham had to get in on the action as well.  Luckily for the turtle, it had that shell to protect him from Graham.  We had found some frogs in our window wells earlier this summer and the frog that Graham got his hands on did not fair to well.



Addy is definitely her Daddy's little girl.  She loves being outside helping him with anything she can, especially when it means she gets to ride on something with him.



Addy and Graham in the "hiding" spot under Grandpa's steering column on the pontoon.


Graham playing in the dirt at the lake.




Grandpa showing Addy how to swing a golf club with his Birdie Golf game.


This is how Addy preferred to put the balls in the target.

Eating some dinner at his party at the park with his friend Jackson.


Checking out his cake.






He smashed his cake up good but did not eat any of it.  Even after I put a little frosting in his mouth he just spit it out and started smashing some more.  He is definitely not his big sister, but he had fun.  I like that he will put any rock, stick or dirt he finds on the floor in his mouth but not the one thing I put in front of him that he can eat.  That is my silly boy.


Graham was not liking the shower in the Splash pad to clean off all the cake he had on him.

My sassy little girl modeling for the picture.  She had a lot of fun at Graham's party with all the kids that were there, especially her favorite second cousin Tobi!!


Aunt Nyla outdid herself this time.  I brought her the invitations I used for Graham's first birthday and she replicated it exactly.  It was amazing and the talk of the party.  We took it to daycare the next day for Graham to share with all his new friends in his new big boy room.


I also had Nyla make us some cupcakes cause those were easier to eat since we had his party at Oak Park by the Splash pad.


This is Graham's "smash cake".  He had a lot to live up to since his sister basically ate all her cake, which was at least twice this size, all by herself. 


I made a shirt for Graham for his first birthday to go with the rocketship theme.


It was a busy week for our little man.  After a day at the fair, he was dedicated to the Lord the next day at out church.  He was a little restless while we were up there but he didn't get a nap before hand so he was a little tired.
