Ada's Birthday Party

We had Ada's birthday party on Sunday and had a great turn out! All of her friends and family were there to celebrate her special day...
Ada did really well opening her gifts, and oh my goodness were there a lot of them! She got some adorable new clothes, lots of fun new toys and a couple of gigantic fuzzy animals! Uncle Jake got her a big hot pink fuzzy teddy bear that she fell asleep on in her crib Sunday night. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen, that is until she woke up Monday morning with a mouth full of pink fur!
Ada's very own birthday cake. She was much more tentative with this than she was with her cupcake a week ago...maybe she learned her lesson that frosting up the nose isnt so much fun?
Tehya picked out Ada's cake for her. It was decided that care bears was a good choice because it came with toys on top that you can keep!

Balloon time

We got a few balloons to decorate the house for Ada's birthday party - she thought they were so fun!
Even more fun was when mom showed her how to rub the balloons on her head and then bop mom in the face with them! Ada was all giggles!

Pictures with GG and Papa Charlie

Uncle Jake had a house warming party at his new house and the girls got to spend some time with Great Grandma Dixie and Papa Charlie.
Look at those smiles!
Ada was showing off her baby to GG - and all smiles while doing it!

Happy Birthday Ada!

August 21 - Ada turns 1 year old! We had a special dinner for her with fun birthday cupcakes that Tehya picked out for desert.
It didn't take long at all for Ada to decide that she really likes cupcakes!
I have to say, this is one of the cutest pictures of Ada I have to date - how can you not smile when you look at this face? (ok, I admit, a little bit of mommy bias there!)
Um, nope. Sorry. Not going to pick you up right now!
All done! The cupcake is demolished and frosting made it into enough places to call this mission a success! Happy Birthday Ada!

Princess Chairs for the Princess'

Mom bought each of the girls a Disney Princess lounge chair - and they both love them! Ada thinks it is really funny that she can climb in and out of it, and even tries to climb in with Tehya so they can sit together!

Off to the Races!

Dan and Tehya headed up to Brainerd International Raceway for the NHRA drag racing championship - They had a great time! Tehya thought it was cool that she got to camp with dad for a whole weekend and thought the cars were "super awesome just like on tv!"
Tehya showing off how hot it was sitting in the stands! Their seats were right by Grandma Sue, Uncle Jay, Aunt Anita and Dave and Lee Wachter - how cool is that!
Tehya has decided that Ashley Force is her very favorite driver. (Dad sorta likes her too, although mom is suspicious it is for other reasons than her driving skills!) Tehya got an Ashley t-shirt and even got it signed by Ashley! She came home and told me that I could never ever wash it or it would wash off!

Sleeping Baby

We were visiting Dylan and Alicia for an evening and Ada apparently had enough before the rest of us did - she was cozy and snoring in their big leather living room chair and it was just too darn cute for me not to take pictures of!
