Danielle's First Fort

While I was making dinner the other night, Grant & Danielle made a fort out of the couch cushons. Danielle LOVED it and managed to get most of her stuffed animals in there too.


Getting the finishing touches.

Daddy & Danielle having fun inside.

Cousin Natale turns ONE!!

Natale had her first birthday on December 28th. Since we had a crazy busy holiday with the storms and such, Kim decided to wait to celebrate her birthday until last weekend.
Happy Birthday sweet Nat Nat. She's so adorable! She's becoming independent and always wants to be heard around the house. You make sure your momma and sis know who's boss!! :)


The girls. Avery, Nat Nat, and Danielle.

Little Natale already one, time flies!!


Warrior Nat!

Skippy LOVE!!

Skippy is greatest cat in the world! He puts up with Danielle tormenting him day in and day out. Here's a couple shots of her with her stuffed kitty and Skippy!


Danielle & her kitties.


She's in heaven!


And she wonders why she gets scratched every now and again...

Photo Challenge.

My friends Shay & Jenna are doing this random photo challenge. The challenge is to go into your May folder and pick out the 21st photo and post it.

Here's ours. It was Avery's 3rd birthday at the Little Gym in Kenmore and Danielle is LOVING the chocolate cake. :)



It's crazy to see how little she looks to me here. These days she tells me what she did at preschool and her imagination is running wild! She's quite the BIG girl now!!

Wii Fun!

I got the Wii fit from my sister, brother-in-law and brother for Christmas, I was shocked and so stoked!! We broke it out right away and have had so much fun with it. I try and do the fit everyday for a little bit but the most fun is having people over and watching them make fools of themselves.

Shay, Thad and Hayden came over on New Years Eve to play the wii & have DQ.


Me showing Shay how to do the hula.


Shay trying to do the ski jump!


Classic!! This is a great DQ & Wii advertisement... "you eat (large) DQ blizzards while doing the Wii and you'll be this skinny!!"


Danielle having fun playing ring around the rosey in between daddy's legs while he plays.


It was finally Danielle's turn to hula. Here's Shay showing her the tricks.


Danielle was "babysitting" Hayden while the parents played the Wii.


Danielle being a typical babysitter by allowing Hayden to have stuff her parents won't let her have. :)


Danielle pushing Hayden in a baby doll stroller. Hayden LOVED it, she kept swinging her legs and giggling.


Hayden wants a sip daddy!!

Last weekend my mom, Kim and her family came up for the day. We again broke out the Wii and had fun with it.


My mom learning the hula game. Sorry it was blurry but I was laughing so hard I couldn't keep it steady. :)


Avery & Danielle having their turn playing Mario Kart!!
