Feelin' Patriotic

So, since I didn't post for two motnhs, I kind-of missed the 4th of July post. So I am making it up now. We took Hannah to a day in the park. There were slides and bands playing and fireworks and a ton of people there. We had a great time walking around.













Happy 4th of July!

Happy Birthday Dan

Yesterday was Dan's birthday. We went to a Seahawks game on Saturday to celebrate. We got great seats and had a really fun time. Hannah lasted until the 3rd quarter and enjoyed the trains outside the stadium more than the actual game. She kept saying it was "loud"









I know this one is dark but it's Dan and Hannah outside the stadium. Hannah is doing the touchdown signal. :)



On Monday we opened presents. Of course, Hannah helped.





















For his birthday Dan got Hannah a fisher price garage. They put it together and Hannah played with it for most of the night.





For his birthday Dan wanted a chocolate cherry cake. I really don't like cooked cherries. But since it was his birthday I made him this cake. I picked off the cherries and enjoyed the chocolate frosting. Dan and Hannah seemed to like the cherries.

Hannah's first pet!

Caterpillars count as pets, right? Well...they do in our house. I found this fuzzy caterpillar on our porch the other day and scooped him up to show Hannah. She was very interested and wanted to hold him all day. She didn't quite get that you can't hug a caterpillar too tightly. He did pretty well though...he lasted 3 days.

Dessert

I had to make a dessert for enrichment the other night and Hannah was terrified of my hand mixer. She kept crying and running away. Eventually I finished the dessert and offered Hannah a beater to lick as a peace offering. She was weary at first but after a few licks she changed her mind. And then she saw the jello...her favorite dessert.

Play-dough

I made Hannah some play-dough a while ago. She really likes to play with it and squish it in her hands. Her favorite thing to make is a snake so she can say "ssssss." She also likes to make rocks.

Ha-pup

For those of you who don't speak "Hannah" that means ketchup--one of Hannnah's favorite foods lately. The other day I asked her what she wanted for breakfast and she said "ha-pup." I tried to offer other suggeestions but she would say "bope" (nope) and then ask for "ha-pup" again. So I gave in (it's healthy right? tomatoes?). I made her some eggs and luckily she ate those too.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Today is Dan's dad's birthday and Hannah wanted to wish her Grandpa a very happy birthday.

Happy Fathers Day!

We just wanted to say Happy Father's Day to all of you wonderful dads (and grandpas and greats and uncles and well..you get the idea) out there. So Happy Father's Day. We hope it was a nice day for everyone.











And a special thanks to Dan for being such a wonderful daddy to our precious Hannah. They always have so much fun together. We love you Dan!
