My parents came in town to celebrate Theo's first birthday. They arrived on Friday morning and me and the kids went to the airport to pick them up. My parents decided to ship Caiden & Grace's birthday presents out early since they won't be here for their birthday next month -so we spent Friday opening gifts. The big winner was Grace's dollhouse. She LOVES it. She loves playing with all the little animals and people and when we showed her how to make the people pretend to sleep, cook, walk up the stairs, go potty, and play the piano she loves to copy you and make the sounds. It's the first thing she plays with in the morning and the last thing at night. Caiden warmed up to my Dad right away because he really gets in to playing with all Caiden's Toy Story characters and flying them around the room. It's so cute hearing Caiden say the same things as my Dad after they have left.
Saturday was Theo's birthday so we packed up everyone and went to Sara and Dustin's house for the party. Before the party I tried to put this dress on Grace and it lasted for about 10 minutes before she was OVER it. It's so funny because I never put her in dresses -but it was in the 90's this past weekend - so she always asks for pants...it's going to take her some getting used to.
Caiden and Grace were the only kids there but it was at a pool so they had a good time. Grace was a bit under the weather so her and Marc left early but Caiden played in the pool for hours. The highlight was Magda teaching Caiden how to swim. He took his water wings off and she was with him probably 45 minutes. Just tonight he said, "Magda's a real peach, and a good swim teacher." [because he kept hearing us say it]. I was really surprised he took his water wings off because he's not too keen on going under water. But he has swim lessons next month for two weeks everyday and he's supposed to be able to swim when it's over so I hope this helped ease him in to it.
Caiden was totally into the frosting on his cupcake...and that's it!
Theo was mildly interested in his cake. It took a while for him to try it and then he really just wanted someone to feed it to him.
Sunday was Father's Day -we took my Dad down to the Sheraton for their breakfast buffet. A good little spot with a nice view of the SD Harbor while you eat. It was a great weekend, just too short. Can't wait to see them when I take the kids back to Nebraska next month!
