Pickles Anyone?

While we were at Mike's birthday lunch, we decided to give Aimee her first pickle!  We are mean that way...we love to give our babies pickles and lemons and see the reaction on their face!  The funny thing is that both the girls have made the best faces, but just kept putting the sour back in their mouth...Check out these awesome expressions from sweet Aimee!


This tastes funny on my tongue...


I'll try again...and I'll smile this time!


"Mommy, Look...this is really gross!"



Ok, I've had ENOUGH!!!  I'm throwing this down!!!

Daddy thought that if I didn't want to eat the pickle then I could wear it...fashion statement!

Same?

Rewind 3 years...Abbie climbing on the dishwasher...



Very pleased with herself...She thought she was such a big girl!  It was a fun game!


Fast forward...today...Aimee climbing on the dishwasher...

By the look on Aimee's face...I think she has the same thoughts that Abbie had..."Wow, I'm such a big girl and this is a really fun game!"  Sisters...

Monkey Girl

Aimee is a monkey...she loves to climb and explore!  This is new for me since Abbie was not a climber!  Aimee has mastered the slide now and takes great joy in getting up with the big kids!  The only way to stop her is to put socks on her feet...Then she can't get traction...Mean...I know...but it works!

Mike's Birthday Celebration

For Mike's birthday, the girls and I went to his work to surprise him.  We brought him a big chocolate birthday cake and took him out to lunch!  He was nice enough to let Abbie choose the place to eat...can you guess where she chose?  McDonalds!

My 3 favorite people!!!!
After Mike got home from work, we starting the evening celebration...Daddy wanted to do something the girls would have fun at...so we went to the Spectrum.  He wanted to take the girls on the huge Ferris wheel!  It was super fun.  We didn't tell Abbie where we were going and she was so happy when she figured out what we were doing!

LOL...on the way up...Mike says, "Oh, did I forget to mention that I'm afraid of heights?"  Ha ha ha...Nice face!

After we were already on the wheel, the operator told us Aimee couldn't sit on our lap.  We had to put her on the big seat and strap her in.  She did really well, but looked so small sitting by herself!

Pure happiness!

She couldn't believe how high we were going up!
Next we went over to the carousel for a ride!  Abbie chose a fun horse with jewels and Aimee got a cat with a fish in his mouth.


Love the look!

Most of the ride she had her mouth open making happy noises!
To wrap up the evening, we took Mike to one of his favorite restaurants, Lone Star for a steak dinner.  It was yummy food and Daddy and Abbie got to line dance with the waiters. 
Happy Birthday Daddy!  We love you so much!  It was a fantastic day!
