The Adventures of Anna and Kate

Happy (belated) Birthday, Bucko!

Wednesday, October 28, 2009


Happy Birthday Bucko (a day late...)!!
Anna and I decided to make an impromptu trip to Spring yesterday evening to surprise my dad at dinner for his birthday. My mom had planned a birthday dinner for him with some of my aunts and uncles, and I decided at the last minute that Anna has gotten so easy to take places that there was no reason that we shouldn't just leave work/school yesterday afternoon and head north! She was excited about our little "adventure" to say the least!
She was such a trooper through the whole thing. Because of our unfortunate timing (and a few wrecks on the freeway), it took us 2 hours to get to Spring. And I of course had nothing to entertain her because the trip was such a last minute decision. But, she had her DVDs for the drive, and then managed to stay entertained throughout dinner with just a highlighter and a piece of paper (and Grammie, Bucko, and great aunts and uncles, of course!) Maybe my strategically packed diaper bag with all the crayons, aquadoodles, stickers, snacks, and toys that normally accompanies us even on trips to the grocery store is beginning to be a bit of overkill?? Yet another example that our little angel is growing up...

Our little monkeys

Saturday, October 17, 2009

We enjoyed the fantastic weather that we've been having by spending some time last weekend at the zoo. The girls had a blast! Anna is definitely of an age now to really love looking at all the animals, and it was Kate's "maiden voyage" to the zoo--she was all smiles!

And, Anna's favorite animals were no big surprise...the pink flamingos. She is more and more of a girly girl every day...

Contain yourself

Sunday, October 11, 2009


One of Anna's favorite "hiding" places--her ball basket. As seen here, she rarely hides alone...she's usually accompanied by a few stuffed friends, and a blanket or two. Oh, to be the size to fit into a ball bin again...

Lolly

Wednesday, October 7, 2009

One of Anna's favorite "special treats" these days are lollipops. And, she adorably refers to them as "lollies". Could you say no to this face when she asked you for a "lolly"? Yeah...I didn't think so...

Lil' blue eyes

Saturday, October 3, 2009


So, they say that baby's eyes are supposed to "lock" on a color by about 6 months...we're in the 7 day countdown to hope that Kate's stay blue! They were blue at birth, as most babies' are, but so far they've stayed that same color. I think it will be so pretty with her dark hair if they stay that way...
I joke that we have two "baby doll challenged" girls...a blondie with brown eyes and a dark-haired lady with blue eyes. Its so hard to find baby dolls with those combos! Oh, well...add it to the list of "mommy challenges" we'll face over the years...I'm thinking this will be one of the less significant ones!
