Another super play date!

Tatum and Sylvie came over to play in the pool on Monday...

Then we all had a picnic on the living room floor...

By almost 2pm, Tatum and Mattie were ready to go night night... so cute!

Saturday, one week after move-in...

We did not waste any time getting back to D-land... it was super hot, so Mattie was thrilled to play in the water area at Cali Adventure....

And this is the happiest my child has ever been... during the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Playhouse stage show... she seriously went berserk, with squealing, screeching, jumping, dancing, and clapping! We have been watching the cartoon in the AM so she knows the characters and loves the music!

As if D-land wasn't enough excitement for one day, we decided to BBQ by the pool w/ some friends Saturday evening... I didn't get pics of the pool since I was in the water w/ Mattie most of the time, but we all came back to the house after and watched Sylvie and Mattie go berserk some more... I have never seen mellow Sylvie act like a wild animal, until now... it was sooo funny to see them run around, and throw stuffed animals at everyone and everything... by almost 9PM, they were both soooo wiped out and collapsed on the floor! What a fantastic day!

Last week...

Wow, I'm gettin' a little slow on the blog updates! Last week, Mattie had fun with her friends (as usual!) She hit up the park at Woodbury with Alyssa and Gavin, where she and Alyssa did their usual bit of racing up to the top of the slide and squealing on the way down....

And she had a super fun time in Aaron's backyard in the broken pool... the water held long enough for the two of them to get soaked and worn out before dinner! It appears that Mattie is still the "big winner" and Aaron is doing some baby yoga moves... ;)

Mattie's New Crib....

New crib, as in, new home... We have enjoyed quite a few meals outside on our new patio since Saturday...

And we are slowly but surely getting unpacked and organizing the apartment.... Here's a belated father's day photo... More pics to come as we get more organized....

If you want to get dizzy, watch Mattie dance!

A regular occurrence with Mattie is dizzy dancing... at our house, and both grandparent's houses, she just loves to dance! I walked in on her this morning to a dance party with Barney on TV and had to grab the camera!

Sylvie's 2nd Bday party!

Mattie was also invited to Sylvie's party, just 4 hours after Cora's... she got in a quick snooze on the drive to LB... the party started with a lovely tea party.. Mattie and Logan became quick best buds and drenched each other with the "tea" (water)...

Frozen yogurt pops were served... a sure hit with the kids AND adults!

Sylvie had lots of flower pots for her friends to decorate... Nadine showed Mattie and Alyssa the ropes...

But Mattie preferred to decorate herself, instead of her flower pot... then she joined Logan in the kitchen for some more "tea"

Mattie also enjoyed some serious giggle time with Aaron and Logan, while they all cracked up at Aaron's dada, Jeff... what a fantastic party!

Pool party!

Mattie was invited to Cora's 1st Bday party on Sunday... she had a blast eating cupcake cones with daddy....

And playing in the kiddie pool and the "big kid" pool....
