Things are a changing! Instead of playing in the sand box or with trains or stuffed animals … we are now moving to video games during our playdates.
Max, Brennan & Christian are playing some Wii race car game
They were quite active & vocal while playing
Emily wants to give it a go
Christian was teaching his friends and stomping the competition
Max was putting his full body into the game!
Liam, Brennan’s gorgeous younger brother, just watching the crazies play
Max intently playing the Wii race car game with chocolate chip cookie on his face
Christian, the happy winner of every single Wii race car game
Brennan, preferring to be a spectator, excitedly telling Max which way to turn his car
Olivia, Christian’s cute younger sister, would occasionally walk into the room and give Christian a hug as he was playing the Wii game

Christian invited us over for a Slip ‘N Slide playdate at his house last week
Here he is showing us how it’s done
Of course, you must wear goggles when on the Slip N Slide?!?!

Max getting the hang of it
Cricket enjoyed her time slipping ‘n sliding
What an adorable Janie & Jack ruffle bottom swim suit. Couldn’t resist!
Olivia didn’t want to be left out of the fun so she came out in her swimmers hanging about on raft with a matching ruffle bottom like her cousin Cricket
We celebrated Emily’s 3rd BD yesterday with friends & family
The main event for Emily’s 3rd BD was “Happy Birds”, a performing parrot show
Seven beautiful & friendly parrots entertained us all and Emily even got a kiss from pretty “Piper”
This particular bird is a trainee to the show. Emily is feeding him an almond.
The bird show consisted of various birds riding a bike, riding a scooter, singing songs, making other animal impersonations, skateboarding, opening water bottles, etc.
Max was an active participant in the audience with lots of questions for the “Bird Lady”. He loved it!
Piper wants to give Max a kiss,
but Max holds back …

Happy 3rd Birthday Emily!!
Max loves babies!
And, in particular, he loves Olivia Nalae (Christian’s little sis)
He asked if he could hold her the other day at Bouncy-Land
He’s very careful & soft with her
Max & Christian, riding their mini kick boards this afternoon, stop for a quick pic!
Good Buddies!

Emily pushing an empty swing in her sundress! It was a wee bit cold out for a sundress, but she insisted.
Olivia asleep at the park
We had a playdate with Christian this afternoon and Max asked Kathy if he could hold Baby Olivia. He was very good holding her although Kathy did help support her neck. Max seems to be into babies lately.
Christian & Max waited in line for The Frog Hopper for quite some time. They actually cut in line to the front and Kathy had to tell them to go to the back of the line!
Christian looks like he is having second thoughts about the ride
YEP! Christian’s off!
Max having fun!!! The cute random girl sitting next to him is a little nervous though.
Max & Christian on “The Granny Bugs”
Christian’s 3 week old baby, Olivia, just sleeping away in her stroller while all the craziness goes on around her
Christian & Emily have fun on the Granny Bugs together
Kathy & I are slightly concerned that Emily & Christian are going to be Happy Hollow buddies;
since Max is a bit of a dare devil. Here he is standing in line for the roller coaster. We waited over 30 minutes!!
All in all, it was a great afternoon @ Happy Hollow! Kids had a great time! That’s what it’s all about!
