It actually got warm for a few weeks, but now it has been super rainy. We are even supposed to get a good dose of rain from a Tropical Storm tomorrow! Crazy, right?! We took another trip to the zoo right before Hensley's birthday. It was a pretty warm day, but we got there right at 9am, so when we left at 1pm, it was just starting to get hot.
These girls...they both had to take turns being in front. They're so silly!
Hensley was excited to get a package from her Aunt and cousin in Germany. Her and Tae had some fun popping all the packaging.
Hensley has fallen in love with Dora. I remember Tae loving it at this age too. Hensley ran a fever and just wasn't feeling good a couple days before her party, so she got spoiled with some extra video time. The doctor thinks she had pharyngitis or a mild case of hand, foot, mouth. After 24 hours with a fever, she was as good as new though!
After her party, we had our monthly family night. My sister Lyn and her wife have decided to become foster mommies and they brought over their FIVE foster puppies. They were about 8 weeks old and so stinking cute. The kids spent almost the entire time outside playing with them. They will be disappointed next family night when the puppies aren't there, but maybe they will have new puppies to bring ;)
Oh my little Henny, how can you be 2? She still says she is 1 and insists that she did not turn 2, ha! On her actual birthday I took the girls to a splash pad. Hensley wasn't too sure of the water and was a little nervous. She spent a lot of time sitting next to me on the bench. I think all the spraying water made her scared she would get it in her eyes. She did play some, especially if I got out there with her. Maybe we will try again next week and see if she warms up.
When Aaron got off work we went to Target and she got to spend her birthday money and buy some new Dora DVD's. She also picked out a Peppa Pig backpack. We then went and ate at one of our favorite restaurants, Green Chile Kitchen and then got icecream. I think she had a super fun day, even if she doesn't want to be 2 yet.
Last weekend we had Bella and Jack stay the night with us. We had hoped to go swimming in our pool while they were here, but it was closed due to rain. The kids had lots of fun playing together. Hensley was wore out and took a long nap on the couch!
We decided to get out of the house for a bit and go on a walk. We had planned to walk to get icecream, but it's about a 1.5 mile walk there. After a mile, the kids were tired and hot, so we decided to head back and just have icecream at home. We didn't tell them about the icecream, but I think if I had, they would have been more motivated to make the trip :) The most exciting part of the walk for the kids was finding a dead squirrel in the road. They just wanted to stare at it forever, haha!
Leaving the squirrel, Hensley says "bye bye cute squirrel"!
Tae is in love with all things ponies. Every time she colors or paints it's always ponies and rainbows. I think she has quite the artistic ability! Hensley loves to paint too, but often sneaks in her fingers to paint with.
We made our first batch of summer popsicles! I thought they turned out so pretty! These were red (strawberry), white (coconut milk with honey), and blue (blueberries). The girls loved them!
Sorry this picture is blurry, but they were on the move. These girls have such good imaginations. Here they were using their hula hoop as a choo choo train and giving each other rides through the house. Hensley was the conductor as you can see. I'm glad they play so well together and have become such good friends. It is really sweet to watch.
