Eden is 3!!!

Eden woke up and whispered 'it's my birthday' so the fun began...she came downstairs to presents galore....including the rump rope she so desperately wanted....
And don't worry Leo was present...although he was not the star of the day (much to his chagrin)
A dollhouse...yippeee....and it came with a washing machine and dryer so at least someone will do the laundry....
Aunt Anne gave Eden 3D chalk...so cool
And then the big moment...Eden really wanted a motorcycle and when Mama was wandering through target she found one. It sat in the basement for 2 weeks and then Papa assembled it the night before only to find out that it was missing 2 wheels. Papa went searching for a new motorcycle but could not find one...well not to be detered Papa went out on his lunch break and....
I have a motorcycle...which I guess I have to share...
Eating food, pretending to like it, and staring at the amazing cake made by Aunt Perrin...
She rocks!!! I loved my cake...so delicious and fast....
The Thapas came over for the party...
And of course Opa was there...
And the Chipouras family...
We had a stirring rendition of Happy Birthday...I even had the number 3 on my cake (I tried to get Mama to buy the number 9 but she refused)....
The happy family (where is Leo you might ask...in bed of course)...
And then we ate cake...and of course I refused a fork...hands are good enough for me...

Aunt Erin and Uncle Chris are Engaged....

Well, Aunt Wee does call him Crazy Hayesy...and now we know why...

Sometimes at adult parties kids have nothing to do, but not at this party....we had a cooler full of beer and ice to play in...Hayes took a header into the cooler but Madison and Leo were smart enough to just eat the ice...
Uncle Bradford loves him some babies...and the babies love him...
Madison and Leo taking a break for the beer cooler and playing with some age appropriate toys...
Aunt Erin and Uncle Chris...engaged!
Just the ladies, celebrating the day...
Leo's first lake swim...thanks Gma Kathy for the life jacket!
Aunt TT and Leo showing off their swimming style...
Madison and Leo had lots of quality time together...
Leo even poked Madison in the face...alot!

Being Silly in June

Welcome to a reverse order posting!!! Go Mama - who still cannot figure out how to upload to the blog - therefore, I, Eden will be taking over this blog posting... So starting on Monday - Mama and Leo came home from their awesome trip to Cincinnati and I was so excited...and while Mama was gone Papa let me dress myself....
And he let me drive...well not drive really since the car battery was dead...but still I sat in the driver's seat, typed on my computer, and drove like a mad woman...
And Papa helped me learn my numbers...in preparation of my birthday....
I love trampolines...
And having a steamer while reading the Sunday New York Times...
We had dinner with Ama (Shrijen and Shriya's grandma from Nepal - she came to the States on June 8th)...
And then we channeled Olivia Newton John....
Let's get Physical Physical...I wanna get...
PHYSICAL...let me hear your body talk...
The other day I had Reba and Malia over and we hit the dress up bin - thanks Big Mama!

Reba's got moves....
Possibly you are noticing all the outfit changes...well we are not done yet...
All around the mulberry bush...the witch chased the weasel....

I almost forgot...Leo is really good at helping my Mama with the laundry...if by helping you mean, wearing my underwear on his head....
