Lillian's Friend - Brooklyn

Ethan goes to school on Tuesdays/Thursdays so we decided to invite one of Lillian's friends over while Ethan was at school.  Brooklyn and Lillian are a few weeks apart and enjoyed playing with each other. I can't believe that we are planning both of their first birthday parties already!!
















We had a great time playing with Brooklyn.  I hope they become good friends!

Pyka Girls

Olivia and Charlotte came over to play with us finally!!  We had been getting together several times, but each time, they both could not be there.  We had a good time and I got to enjoy some adult conversation too!!


Charlotte and Lillian enjoying their pool!






Charlotte having a great time!!





Lillian loved her watermelon snack!


Olivia and Ethan eating watermelon at the top of the slide!




Ethan couldn't get enough of the watermelon!  He had to have his own bowl!


We enjoyed finally playing with both Pyka girls!

Playing, Playing, and More Playing!!

This summer has been filled with playing with our great friends.  We have enjoyed the waterside bounce house a ton!  It comes in handy on those sunny, hot days!  Ethan had two of his good friends come over to play all in the same day!!  






Ethan and Blaine having a great time together!








Lillian enjoying her pool all by herself...she loved it!!





Since our waterslide bounce house was already up, we decided to invite Peyton & Parker over for some fun too!!




Peyton & Ethan being silly!!


Lillian & Parker enjoying their pool also!




'Word Up'...Peyton!!


Lillian kept wanting to play with Parker, however Parker didn't want to play with her!!






We enjoyed having our wonderful neighbors over to play!!  I hope these boys stay friends for many years!

Sea Life Aquarium


Our neighbors told us about the Sea Life Aquarium in Grapevine Mills Mall.  They took their two boys and said that it was really neat.  They also had two extra tickets left over and gave them to us to use, so we headed out to Grapevine Mills Mall to check it out.  It was really neat!  Ethan went through it 3 times.  We also took advantage of being out there and ate lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.  Needless to say, Ethan had a great day!


SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium

We ate lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.  Ethan liked it.












Poor Lillian couldn't take it anymore.  She decided to take a nap while Ethan rode the train around the mall!















We had a great day!!  I think we were all tired by the time we got home!
