More 4th Fun!

It was extremely nice to have a playmate all weekend with Lauren. They had a ton of fun and now that Noni is mobile they truly entertained each other.

Lauren taught Noni how to slide....or at least she thought she was teaching. Noni already new how!

Miss Noni is a true carnivore. There's no vegetarian there people!


The pot of crab from Saturday's excursion. The boys caught a bunch of rock crab over the weekend and one dungeness. For their first time, it was quite impressive and yummy!

Noni tested out Miss Lauren's 4-wheeler. Lauren did a pretty good job of sharing. We still have room for improvement though!

The girls crashed on the way to the Farmer's Market on Sunday in Olympia. We went early to beat the crowds. We got some tasty jam, dip, honey, oysters and lots of other things. They had Umpqua ice cream which was an "Whoopee!" moment for mommy.....reminder her of Oregon. I ordered a puzzle of Lauren's name for her too. She loves puzzles right now.

When we got home from the market, the girls had crashed out again in the car....so we let them sleep. Then it was time to get messy with some spaghetti! I think Noni looks a little "spaghetti stoned" in this pic! Who can eat spaghetti with their clothes on though??!! We had the girls eat in shifts typically but not this time. Neither could wait. So Lauren was in the high chair and Noni sat on Franki's lap but bellied up to the high chair and helped Lauren eat what was on her plate!

Lauren being silly with her binoculars.

Yesterday Franki and Noni boarded the train to leave. When they left the house, Lauren bawled! Then Uncle Kyle returned and it was "baby?" Lauren really enjoyed having Noni here. She was actually saying "Noni" (or at least that's what we think she was saying) by the time they left. It was more like "Nono" or "Nani" but it was an A for effort!

Here's some pics of them saying "bye" with some good old fashioned snuggle time yesterday morning. Sweet girls!
