Updated Random Pictures

We have been very busy since moving in to our new home and I have a lot of pictures that I haven't posted. I have decided to just post some of them in one blog post and I will FINALLY be up to date. It has been super easy to catch up this past week because there isn't ANY good TV at night!!! Wow do they need to find some better summer programs or what?!? I guess that is why I always get hooked on Big Brother - it comes out in July and is usually on 2 or 3 nights a week, which is a good thing because there isn't anything else on!!!

In a nutshell we have been to the Washington DC Smithsonian Zoo, gone to an outdoor theatre called WolfTrap, went to the local festival called Celebrate Fairfax, and even made it to Georgetown Cupcakes (there is a TV show called "DC Cupcakes" on TLC that is all about this cupcake place) to try them out. We have also started swim lessons, gone to the pool multiple times, gone to the neighborhood playgroup, and met up with fellow Exxon moms/kids. We have a painter coming this weekend to start on the entire upstairs and we also ordered new blinds for the house. We have been busy getting settled and are also taking advantage of all our community has to offer! My mom is coming to visit this weekend and we are going on a tour of The Capitol on Saturday, which should be interesting.

On a more exciting note, Anna is officially pulling up to stand! She also said "Dada" yesterday for the first time. Emma looked at her with amazement and said "Mommy she is talking!" It was so cute. Now that she has mastered it she is saying it all the time. This, of course, makes Jay extremely happy. It isn't like she says it only when he walks through the door - she babbles it all day long but I don't want to burst Jay's bubble:) We are super excited about her recent accomplishments - each little step in the right direction for her is a BIG reason to celebrate!

Anna all smiles

Mom and Emma at the zoo

Emma with her neighborhood pals - notice all the boys! They put on a bike show for her on her birthday and showed off all their stunts. Apparently they put on bike shows for all the neighborhood kids on their birthdays - it was super cute.

Sporting their red, white, and blue for Memorial Day

At the local fair

OMG - look at Anna's chunky legs! I just want to keep pinching them they are so adorable!

Fun play time in jammies

Compare this picture of Emma at one year to the one below of Anna - they look a bit alike huh??? Bet you even thought this was Anna at first glance:)

Emma was SO excited to go on the Frog Hopper! She ran to the front of the line and cut in front of people to get on it first. She wasn't scared at all! We couldn't believe our fearless little girl!
