Kate's Birthday Party

Here are some (ok a lot of!!) pictures from her birthday party. She had a fun time playing with the kids, opening presents and eating cake. Enjoy!!

Kate had a great Birthday!

I can't believe my baby girl is ONE!!

The Park, the Duck Pond and the Pool

We took Kate to the park and the duck pond. She had a fun time swinging, sliding and pointing. When we came home it was nice and warm so we decided to let Kate play in the pool for a bit.

Lastly, here is a video of Kate splashing and talking in the pool...

Kate and Auntie

Just a few actions shots of Auntie Jennie and Kate playing together. They have lots of fun!

This is what happens...

when I leave Conor and Kate alone at home.

they play music...

Kate gets silly with toys...A boo boo......
And a random picture....

Peek-a-Boo

One of her most favorite things to do lately is play peek-a-boo.


And this is her other favorite thing to do...

Clowns....

So Hillary put up her childhood clown pictures on her blog and since I too hate clowns and would rather not think of them ever again I'm going to show you my clown picture that ruined me forever and then be done with it.

See there IT is....trying to give me balloons but I know what it's thinking.....YIKERS!!

....I'm not scared....I'm not scared....I'm not scared.

Kate is almost a year....

and I can't believe it. Where has the past year gone? It certainly has flown by. Just a quick post with lots of pictures since it's 1:24 a.m. and I should be sleeping.

This is what I find her doing all day...pulling books off her shelf in her room...
See, here she is the very next day....
So we had crazy lightning and thunder last week and Conor snapped this picture of the cloud right before the storm....
Kate playing in the laundry (with Auntie Jennie's help)...
This picture makes me laugh...look at that toothy smile....

Playing with her Elmo toy...

Discovering the zipper on her jacket...

Not exactly sure what was going on here...

Helping me with the laundry...
