July 18

Yesterday was Daddy birthday so "Happy Birthday to you Daddy!" It also happens to be our friend Brady's birthday so we got up early and went out to All About Kids for his birthday party and then back to his house for cake and presents. Daddy discovered the plasma car.

This just could be the next family vehicle.

Or maybe this could be. (Although not if Ethan has anything to say about it!)

We convinced Ethan to give it a try. You never know at this age what they will love and what will scare the pants off of them. This seemed right up his alley, but...

he hated it!

Daddy and Trystan had a good time on it though.

This morning was Ethan's 3rd tee ball game. The lady working the game got a new idea and this only applies to our team. When the other team hits the ball, she throws out about 5 more balls for the kids to catch. You would think that this would eliminate the fists fighting over the ball when it is hit. Let's just say it drastically reduced it but I wouldn't say that it is gone.

Ethan rounding the bases...

and running it in home.

This video is from All About Kids yesterday. Everyone around, including the gymnist working, couldn't believe Emma. She asked me if she learned how to do this from taking gymnastics or just from coming here on open gym. I told her that I didn't even know that they had gymnastics for 1 year olds. She said that they have a class starting up in 3 weeks and wanted me to sign her up. Not sure we are quite ready for that (even though she may be!) I have a feeling I can see what is in her future! (Hooray!)
