June- Week 4- Anna and Dan's BD

Monday, we ran errands, Anna got a hair trim and they did a fancy braid afterward (too bad half of it fell out on the car ride home), 

I did some yard work, Ben and McKenna started two weeks of swim lessons, McKenna had sewing, and in the evening we went to the Food Truck League in Sugarhouse for some yummy Hokulia!  

Tuesday, the Summer movie was Mr. Peabody and Sherman and in the evening we worked on organizing the kids' rooms a little more.  

Wednesday, Dan was home all day and got to go with us to the 7 Canyons splash pad at Liberty Park. 

Thursday, I had my first check for dilation with my doctor and I was dilated to a...ZERO!  Lovely.  That evening, Dan's parents took us out for Dan's BD date. We saw Jurassic World in IMAX 3D, ate dinner at 5 Guys, and then walked around Lowe's.  Happy Birthday Love!!

Friday was Miss Anna's 2nd BD!!  We decorated the night before.  She loved all the balloons!  We opened presents first thing.  She got a Minnie Mouse Doll and Minnie plate.  At two years old, she is  a pretty good talker, loves babies, loves "Mimi" (Mini) Mouse, loves playing in water, has quite the sweet tooth, is doing well in her big girl bed, and adores being included to play with her older siblings.
I don't have her 2 year stats yet, but here are a few things she's done/accomplished in the last 6 months:

• January- did a cute whisper lip sync when we would sing songs, started saying "byyyyyy-per" (diaper), liked singing songs more and more, said "bow bow" (hair bow), started brushing hair out of her face.
• February- Loved to carry around and read books all day, said "yellow" and "Beh" (Ben), started her loooove for baby dolls. Other new words were tissue, Kix, slow, blue, no, yes, shoes.
• March- Went to her first Utah Gymnastics meet, got two new canine teeth on her right side, started to string together sentences like "No. Daddy do."
• April- Had a yucky stomach virus for 5 days, loved her independence more at the park, loves sunglasses, often yelled out in her sleep, called bruises "purple owies," Recognized "A" for Anna.
• May- Had a great interest in colors and can identify almost all of them, does a crooked mouth thing when she's sad or unsure, says "out" instead of "off," can recognize her own name and almost spell it.
• June- Started sleeping in a big girl bed, fell out once the first night, found sleeping sideways most of the time, loves to brush hair and wear headbands, loves to say who she wants to do something "Mommy do" or "Anna do" or "Nennie do."

That afternoon McKenna and I got to go on a date (with Sarah Jane, Whitney, Grandma and Grandpa) to see Hale Center Theater's Little Mermaid.  It was so well done!  

Afterwards, we met Dan and the two little ones at the Food Truck League in Bountiful.  The kids ate waffles, Dan had a Philly Cheese Steak, and McKenna and I shared a rice bowl.  We had to get a Braza Bowl (Acai!) for dessert as well.  

Saturday we did a little yard work, the kids rode bikes, then we cleaned up a little before my parents flew in from CHILE!  

That evening we celebrated Anna's BD a little more with treats and singing.  She played shy a little, but in the end loved the attention and trying to blow out her candle.  

Sunday we celebrated June Birthdays with just the Webster Family.  

Monday the kids continued with their second week of swim lessons.  

After swim lessons, we headed up to Mantua just for the evening to be with the extended Webster family to say goodbye to one of Dan's Aunt and Uncle who will be leaving to serve a mission as ranch hands in Washington State.  We had a blast with MORE swimming as usual.  

Just some morning exercises on PBS Kids.  

Tuesday was Dan's 33rd BD!  We went to our Summer movie (Penguins of Madagascar).  Dan came home from work a little early and we gave him his presents.  Then we headed up to the Blaser's house for another pool party!  These are some of Dan's best friends from high school and Brett's wife happens to share a BD with Dan.
