Memorial Day Weekend

Phew! What a busy and fun weekend! Get ready for lots and lots and lots of pictures! On Friday night we went to dinner with the Petermans and went over to their house to hang out. I love playing with Xavier and Corinne. On Saturday, we met BeBe and Pappy at Sammy's, a restaurant in Belmont and then enjoyed the park across the street. Sunday was BBQ time at BeBe and Pappy's and I was super excited because my friends Aubrey and Nina came over! Today, Mama, Hayden and I met Courtney for lunch and then just enjoyed having the rest of the day off together. I can't wait until school is over so that Mama and Daddy can stay home all of the time! 11 more teaching days!! Here are the pictures from our busy weekend....

Hayden loves to swing, unlike me at that age.

I am a rock climbing pro!

I'm also getting good at the swings.

Pappy taught me how to pump my legs to
get higher.

Daddy and Hayden.

The sun was so bright that I wore Pappy's sunglasses for
the picture.

3 generations of Harbin boys.
Do you notice that Pappy and Daddy have on the same shirt?

Playing with Aubrey.

We walked over to the horse farm.

Ready to ride!

Our audience....Michelle, Hayden, Nina and Grandma Otto.

I insisted on riding by myself this time and I wanted the
white horse!

We didn't catch the horses name but she was lazy and
kept stopping. Hee Hee!

Big girl riding by myself!

Hayden was just hanging out.

Aubrey rode with Melissa since it was her first time.

We even got to pet a chicken!

Here are some videos of me riding the horse. My nose has been runny so you can hear me talking about my "boogies" on the one video. Ha! Ha!

Hayden fell asleep on the walk home.

Lindsey made these cool and yummy
jello treats.

Tummy time outside.

Here are Mama's "phone pictures". Again, not always the best quality but it's so convenient to take pictures on the phone.

I love riding my tricycle!

Hayden is happy to just hang out
outside in his stroller.

Hi, Mama!

He was just lounging with his feet up.

That boy loves his rice cereal...

...and I love feeding him.

Here you go, Hayden.

We got surprise mail from Oma and Opa.
New books!

Thank you! Danke!

Mama finally got her Mother's Day gift
in the mail too.

Silly Hayden put his foot on the tray.

What, Mama? These aren't good table
manners?

Little stinker!

Having fun with Xavier and Corinne at
dinner.

Mama and Hayden selfie.

I joined in too.

I love my little brother.

Cheese!

This was Hayden looking at himself
on Mama's phone
Hey there, handsome!

Always ready to pose for a picture.

That Mama sure does take a lot of pictures.

But how could you not with two cuties like us?

I hope everyone had just as fabulous of a weekend as we did!

Christmas in May

Yesterday it was like having Christmas in May! One of the families at Daddy's school gave us a bunch of awesome toys that they have outgrown. A big thank you to the Payne family! I got two new tricycles, a gas station pump, a new wooden train set, tons of puzzles and toys and an awesome kitchen!!! Here are some pictures of me with my new toys. Of course, I will share these with Hayden when he gets big enough to use them!

Riding my tricycle on this beautiful day!

Time to fill up with some gas!

Mama and Hayden selfie.

I rode my tricycle all the way to Ms. Angie's house.
She was outside so we took a picture with her.

I'm such a big girl!

Check out my new kitchen.

Baking a cake....

....and talking to Aubrey.

I love the apron and the chef hat!

Here is a little thank you message for the Payne family. We are really happy that you thought of us to give your toys to. I know that Hayden and I will play with them a lot! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Today Mama decided to give Hayden rice cereal for the first time so of course she took pictures and lots of videos. I was so excited to help feed him!

Hayden is thinking "What? I actually get to sit in my high
chair and eat food today?"

"Um, no pictures please, more food!"

Here are lots of videos. He really seemed to enjoy it!

Future Equestrian?

Today I rode my very first horse! There is a horse farm close to BeBe and Pappy's house and we always see signs for horse and pony rides. When Mama asked me if I wanted to ride a horse today, I said yes! Mama and Daddy took me to the farm and sure enough I was brave enough and actually rode the horse! The owner's daughter, Melissa, rode with me. Daddy was the photographer and did an awesome job!

I tried on a fancy helmet but it was a
little too big for me.

Meeting the horse, Poco.

Getting ready to go...

Hi, Daddy!

Mama and Hayden took a picture with the horse too.

Mama took her Flip camera and captured a couple of short videos....

I had a lot of fun and want to go back some time!

Just Hanging Out With Mama

It's just been Mama, Hayden and me this weekend. Daddy and Andy have been camping out at the Nascar race since Friday morning. Today we met Aubrey and Lindsey at Jetton Park for a walk around the park, some playground time, and a picnic in the park. Here are some pictures from today...

Mama brought the big double stroller
but I actually walked with Aubrey the whole time.

Take a break by the lake.

Aubrey wanted to hold Hayden too.

Tummy time outside.

There was some kind of boating competition going on
that we were able to watch.

Mama and Hayden.

Aubrey and I enjoyed the swings.

Hayden enjoyed his first swing ride.
He wasn't too sure at first...

...but he enjoyed it more and more!

Hmm. What's going on here, Mama?

Mama took a video but it won't let her upload it. :-(

Mama also took Hayden down the slide.

HeeHee! Aubrey went down the slide
on my lap.

Picnic time!

Silly girls!

Best friends!

Here are some pictures from the last couple of days from Mama's phone...

Cheese!

Hayden is still waiting for his first taste of food.

Hi, Mama.

Happy boy!

Happy girl!

We miss Daddy and will be happy when he comes home tomorrow!
