Hattie's Boomba Tea Party

The other day, Owen and I were looking through the photo album that I made for him that contains pictures of him with his "month" stickers.  Each month, we took a picture of him wearing a sticker telling how many months old he was.  It's amazing how on month one, the sticker covers his whole belly and chest and goes down onto his sides.  Then, slowly, it just covers his chest and then it slowly is just a sticker in the middle of his chest.  Anyway, I took the photos the first few months, but then when he started going to Ronda's, I asked her to start taking them while there was good light during the day.  She set up elaborate scenes, so Owen has some really funny, great photos.  We loved his 5 month photos, where he was having a tea party with Ronda's Boombas.  Owen was deathly afraid of them and clearly was not happy to be having tea with them!


Hattie on the other hand, LOVES the Boombas.  She grabs them and brings her face down to them, like she is cuddling them.  She also tries to eat their fur, but that's neither here nor there!  The kids didn't have school/daycare today, and Ronda took them for a few hours in the morning so I could work for a bit.  I thought it would be cute to recreate the photo since tomorrow is Hattie's 6 month sticker day. 

Miss Hattie Josephine wouldn't sit for the photos!  She would rather stand and jump.
 I love how happy they both are here

 Hi Boombas!

 I love you Boomba!

Visiting the Ice Caves

Last weekend we met up with our friends, the Withers family in Eden Prairie.  We celebrated Owen's birthday first with lunch, cupcakes and presents at Ruby Tuesdays, then headed over to the ice caves.  They are beautiful and our photos don't do them justice!  It was so cold though!  We stayed for a while, but then headed to get some hot cocoa.
