Last week was such a short week with Memorial day and Daren took off on Tuesday, that it flew by and I didn't get a chance to share pictures! Sorry for the picture overload this week...we've been having fun with the warmer weather so there have been lots of cute pictures to share:)
The highlight of the last week was a special package Danika recieved in the mail from her cousin Chloe...The box itself was exciting and could have been present enough:) It was colored pretty with lots of Dora stickers- When Danika saw it on the door step her eyes got huge and she was very excited. Then when she opened the box and saw Dora and Boots blow-up dolls and a small stuffed Dora, she was SUPER excited! She kept saying "I love it!" It was adorable...
So, they've gone everywhere in the house with her and done just about everything too (Even using the potty, which she found out that little Dora is too small for her potty seat!)
Thank you again Chloe for parting with them...Danika loves them!
Here she is, so proud with Dora!
Danika, the Dora's and Boots having a picnic:)
Just chillin', talking on the phone (notice who is sitting with her:)
Papa and Grandma Lynn came over for a visit last week too- Daren gave Papa a hair cut so Grandma Lynn and Danika sat in the hallway and watched:)
Then they enjoyed some popcorn....
They stopped by again another night, just in time to read some bedtime stories...
Haddie is loving the weather and some fresh air...
On Memorial Day we went for a visit to Lori and Mike's house and then went for a drive with them to visit the Percys' new house in Northfield, MN. We didn't take the camera to Northfield, but we did get some cute pictures of our day at Lori and Mikes... Danika wanted to try fishing, so her and Uncle Mike went to dig up some worms:)
We couldn't catch anything dockside, so we went out for a ride in the pontoon and threw in the pole...unfortunatley, still no bites, but Danika still had a blast!
Enjoying the park on a beautiful day...
Daren's dad (Papa as he is usually referred to by Danika) had some vein surgery and so he wasn't able to milk the cows much. So this weekend Daren asked if I'd help out, and I was happy to. I used to (kind of) help once in a while when we were dating, just to show him I could hack it, but really haven't since:) It was actually kind of fun to spend some time with him, even if it was in the barn:)
He had to take a picture as 'proof' that I was there!
And of course we had our little farm girl help out a little at the end both nights too. She was so stinkin' cute in her farm clothes and when she helped shoo the cows out she would yell "Go Cows! Shoo!"
The strawberry's are in season now and so we decided to go picking yesterday! Danika was such a trooper and actually a good helper at picking them. I had keep reminding her to only pick the big red ones..she really must have felt bad for the little guys that just weren't ready yet, because we got a handful of those in our basket too! She didn't even try to eat one and then when I told her she could eat a few, there was no turning back-She still helped pick the berries, they just didn't make it in the basket, rather in her tummy:) We left with an exhausted, red stained face 2 year old!
We finally decided Danika was ready for a big girl bed so we ordered it a few weeks ago and they came to set it up yesterday. She's had a twin mattress since about December, but it was just on the floor in her bedroom. She was so excited after they put it in her room! She has had 1 nap and 1 bedtime in it and so far so good. She stays right in the middle:)
And of course we can't forget about Haddie. She had a great week to! She's still such a great baby and is sleeping a good 7 or 8 hour stretch at night pretty consistently! Yay!
And......
WE'VE GOT A ROLLER!
When she lays on her back, she has been arching it and turning on her side for quite a while now- a week or so ago she started being able to flip over when she was propped up on a pillow or something...She started crying after napping yesterday so I went in her room and found her no longer on her back, but on her belly! She's discovered she likes it I guess because she keeps on doing it! Now we've really got to watch where and how we lay her!
That pretty much sums up our last 2 weeks...That's all for now!
Love,
The Dummers
