There were a lot of events and pictures this week, so I decided to split them up into two posts. See Part 1 for all the diary commentary and birthday party pictures. See below for Arwyn's final 24 Month Photo Shoot and other pictures from the big week.
Making beautiful pictures with the canvases and acrylic paints they got for their birthday.
Absolutely stunning Leia!
Lots of concentration going on here! Neither of them choose to color in the unicorns like the picture that came with it, but I like what they did better!
One the one hand, Leia often refuses to smile and yells at me to put the camera away; on the other hand, you can tell she's insanely jealous when she see's me taking so many pictures of Arwyn. So, we did a candid birthday shoot of both girls this time around. It's Arwyn's last official shoot (I think 24 months is good!), and it's gotten harder, not easier, so get her to cooperate and smile. This time we put them both in a room with some props, and ended up with way too many cute pictures of both of them!
She really got into the whole modeling photo shoot poses!
This is 4 (if you are an amazon giant, that is!)
Training for the log rolling competition in Wisconsin next month!
Good balance teamwork!
And their down, crash!
Uh oh, going down again!
Happy and silly.
And this is 2! Happy birthday today, 6/18, to Arwyn!
Getting good at her somersaults, and so flexible!
Such a little cutie!
Classic Arwyn determination face.
Homemade teeter totter?
Sorry Leia, I will not move!
Like a little predator, ready to pounce!
Always the climber!
Burn baby, burn, disco inferno!
Cheese!
You're a lion, you're a tiger...work it girl!
Butterfly stretch.
So heavy!
Oooh, good balance Arwyn!
And up she goes again, this little one just won't give up!
Cheaters!
Always loves a good Daddy snuggle.
Another classic Arwyn face: surprise!
Look at those long legs, she's getting so tall!
And there are the winning smiles!
A little "hang" time.
Whew, that was exhausting...time for a little rest.
Remember when she couldn't see over the top of this table?
Another awesome Arwyn face!
Sweet innocence.
Birthday girl loves her balloons!
They are getting so good at giving and sharing, well most of the time.
Glamour smiles...these guys just love balloons!
Mischievous!
They are just too cute!
Love Arwyn's look here, trying to coax Leia.
Special offerings made to the big sis.
Who knew balloon snuggling was so fun!?
Big beautiful eyes.
Sign language for "Please...Please fix my balloon."
Testing out the new wet suit and flippers from Cousin Jordan!
Night light and lethal weapon...a Jedi Warrior always makes good use of her weapon.
Thank you Auntie M and Jordan...She calls them her Princess Leia boots, and yes, I do think that is what Leia wore on the snowy planet of Hoth.
"See ya Mom!" says the girl who's too cool for school in her new Princess Leia snow boots on a 90 degree summer day.
Two little monkeys, Arwyn and Julia, at school.
Arwyn liked the sudden rain/thunder/hail storm that hit on the way home from school today!
Password = Arwyn
Our current favorite thing that Arwyn says is "It's broten, I fitz it." We've been trying desperately to catch it on video...
Flash flood...the creek is up!
She a scooting machine these days!
There's nothing she can't do in those awesome new boots!
First pond trip of the summer! She swam so fast with her new flippers!
It was most definitely a stall tactic at departure time, but who could blame her for wanted to lie down and relax in such a pretty little spot!
Josh's photo art.
Only two kids ever who love going to the doctor and literally beg for shots every time! Even after getting her shots, Arwyn was chanting "Shot, shot, shot!" the whole way home in the car!!
So tough (and healthy)!
My little rollerblading partner while Leia goes to ballet class.
Fun in the sun!
Celebrating a belated Father's Day with a couple Rib-eyes!
