Mail

We got Heidi a playhouse for the backyard for Christmas. She loves it! In fact, I need to post the video of her reaction when we showed it to her. It has a little mailbox on it and yesterday Clint gave her some advertisement to put in the mailbox for her mail. She took it out and said, "Oh, $600!" who knows where she got that from! I should tell her to lower her expectations for when she gets her own mail. :)

Water works

Clint and I have just recently noticed that Heidi has figured out how to turn the water works on very quickly when she doesn't get her way. It's like she's trying to manipulate us into changing our minds. It's really ridiculous and pathetic when you see her face and the fuss she makes over little silly things. I have a feeling 3 is going to be a fun year. :)

Fun with Cousins

In August my sister, Amy, and brother-in-law, Doug, came to Oklahoma and dropped of my niece, Ashlyn at Mimi and Papa's (my parents) house while they went on an anniversary trip. During that week, Heidi and I spent a lot of time with the other girls in the family. My Mom, sister-in-law, Lana, and the four girls, Ashlyn, Claire, Lydia and Heidi did a lot of fun things!

Playing dress-up

The Jasmine Moran Children's Museum in Seminole was really fun!

This was a really neat part. It was a grocery store and the kids could pick out 5 items and take them to the check out and then they could actually ring up the items. When they were done they had to put the items back on the shelves.

The bubble station was really neat! They are standing inside a bubble!

The sprayground! Amanda and Casen met us there too!

This was a neat indoor play place in Yukon. Since it was so hot outside this was a nice place to go.

Summer Visitors from Germany

I contemplated where to start since I have been so behind on posting lately. Since I am just now getting around to posting photos from the summer, I thought I would just start there. We had a lot of visitors from Germany last summer! It was great to see everyone.

First Karen came at the beginning of July and stayed a few weeks. We enjoyed getting to spend lots of time with her!

 

 

Karen bought her this dress that Heidi is wearing. :)

Then Janine, Kerstin and Olaf came to visit! We took them around OKC.

Steve, Kristi, Hannah and Noah Martin met us in Bricktown.

We got to watch the World Cup Germany game with Karen!
