Leia Week 63: A Team Comes to Town - 9/10/2014

In preparation for the big wedding later this week, the Ryggs and the Adams came to stay at our house for the weekend.  After the wonderful job they did hosting us in Wisconsin earlier this summer, we were excited for the chance to reciprocate.  It was great to have such an awesome crew all together for the 3rd time this summer, and we sure had a blast.  Leia had her friend Aria to play with, and Evan got to continue his studies under the Ninja Master Uncle Josh.  And with Josh, Judy, and myself taking over in the kitchen, we had a bunch of really awesome meals.  Before everyone arrived, Leia had her first haircut!  And she had continued her theme of taking care of her dolls and animals in a way that imitates what we do with her.  Its very cute.  Also, she loves to sling a bag over her should, wave goodbye, and walk out of the room.  Luckily she can't open the doors yet, so she doesn't leave the house, but it's still really cute.

Leia with her bags packed and her bike ready to hit the road.  "Bye Mom!"

Flying Baby!


Time to sit back, relax, and drink some ketchup. Yummmm!

She really is sweet!

Try this spice, it's my absolute favorite…does wonders for your chicken!

Such a little cutie!

Phew, time to take a little break after a big game of cheering!

Awesome smiles Aria!

Fun at the water table!  Not fun when you have to share your frog!

Ready, set, go….

Yay, put your hands together for my great whirl pool!

Wahoo, so fun to poor water all over myself!

Another great laugh!



Water play is serious business.

Had to find some extra buckets for these two!
