Nora turns three part three... presents

Nora made a haul on her birthday...






This spring right after Henry's birthday Nora started telling me what she wanted for her birthday... she saw it at Target and described it like this " A princess bike with pink, lello and purple on it with pedals... and that is exactly what we got her!... and she likes it but can't ride it yet tho... so one day soon... Love you Nora!

Nora turns three! Part 1

Nora had a giant water slide for her birthday party....





Here is her friend Noah who loaned it to her... He really had a blast and was quite the slider!



Logan was the second bravest... He totally loved the sliding!



Henry didn't care about the slide but he had fun in the water...
I am not sure who had my camera but you can see the look on Nora's face... the slide was not her favorite part... she did go down a couple of times!

As usual when I get pictures of one twin I usually miss the same picture of the other guy! So here is a picture of Liam in the water... but he was too quick to get his picture!

Last but not least was Zoey who did it once and then decided playing in the water was more fun!


Papa's Birthday Celebration

We went down a day early for Nora's birthday...Papa and Joe went and played some golf and did some geo-caching and some birthday party setting up. We also ate some pizza and then went to enjoy our room at the Hilton... Nora liked this part but Henry LOVED the pool!


Nora wasn't too sure about this but Mama was there...

To wash the chlorine off we went up to our room where we had these little cuties swimming in the big tubby...



Nora with her swimming "Papedoes"


Henry with his I love water cheesy grin...



And then a clean Nora sits on Papa's lap on the terrace....


And I will leave you with a view of the river from the terrace!!


Thanks Joe, Katie, Nora and Henry... It was a great week end and we love you!

Camping...

Last weekend we went camping with Jeff's family and with Amy's family... we went to William O'Brien and for the second time we managed to make it the weekend of the free Ice Cream and a band... for the William O birthday party... Some of us did hiking, and geocacheing and napping... along with car playing and fire building!
Here Logan wanted to see the baby and he didn't mean just Amy's tummy... but we have to wait a couple of weeks for that!
