Happy Birthday Blake!

Today was Kendall's friend Blake's 2nd birthday! His party was at the park next to our house - Shy Pond - so we just loaded up in the stroller and walked over there! We love living next to the park! It was super windy today, but I don't think it bothered any of the kids - they had a blast! Kendall was playing on the playground equipment, climbing and sliding, and walking around the park seeing how close she could get to the ducks. One time she got pretty close and then it turned around and starting walking towards her and she got scared and turned and ran back to us! It was pretty funny. At one point, she was climbing into the playground over the low black wall barrier thing and she fell and busted her lip! It was very sad and bled a whole bunch. So for the rest of the party she had a big blood stain on her shirt and a big fat lip. I'm sure it's not going to be the last time that happens, but it was still sad to see. The Beams brought their new puppy and she loved "barking" at him and even tried to let him drink some of her juice.






Holly had Ella in a sling during the party and we thought she was so cute so we took a picture. She was sound asleep the whole time!
And of course, before we left we had to try to get a picture of all the kids together. This is Kendall with Sarah Grace (whose name she can now say!), Blake (the birthday boy!), Ethan, and Lawson. I went ahead and posted some of the outakes because it's just so funny when you're trying to get them all to sit still at the same time.

Check out those thigh rolls! I don't think she will be wearing these shorts much longer - Dad says they are too short! Also notice Kendall's size next to Sarah Grace. She will be 2 in a couple of weeks. Sarah has been passing down all her clothes to Kendall, but now we have been joking with Mary and Nathan that Kendall is going to have to start passing her clothes down to Sarah!

Sarah is rockin those sunglasses!



We had a great time Kristin and Scott! Happy Birthday Blake!

Ahh, I'm sorry about your boo-boo, but I agree with Mom. It probably won't be the last. Looks like a fun day at the park.
