Playdate at the library

Akyah and I had a playdate Saturday with Tammy and Jacob White, Jacob and Akyah share the same birthday born approxiately 16 hours part from each other. We looked at books, played with blocks, and the kids "talked" and shared snacks with each other. Before we left we took the kids for a walk outside, it was just too beautiful out to not take a stroll down by the fountain.

Jacob Carl & Akyah Lynn born August 1, 2008

Loaded up and ready for a walk...

Can't see them all but Akyah now has 7 teeth!

Oh so innocent.... or is he?!? :o)

I love how Jake is sticking his tongue out

Flower girl

Akyah LOVES the flowers I planted in the flower box on the front porch, every time the door is open she runs out, picks a flower, and brings them to me. Here is a cute little video of Akyah on the porch this afternoon- plastic pitcher in her left hand, plastic spoon in her right, and she is using her very creative imagination to play with the flowers, that is until mommy distracted her:

Time with sissy & brother

Last weekend Akyah and I went down to the East Bay to see some of our favorite people. We had a very busy weekend with Kaleigh, Kameron, and the rest of their family. Thankfully we were able to see Kaleigh's cheer team cheer at a football game and that night watched her in the Walnut Parade- her team did an awesome job and so did the two tired babies (Akyah and Rivers). Here are a few pictures from our eventful weekend:

All packed and ready to go!!!

Walking skills

Here is a short video of Akyah's walking skills. Please note she has her necklace on and a piece of electronics in her hand, these are Akyah's favorite toys. Also note the necklace is not actually around her neck but laying over the back (rarely does she actually wear the necklace)- she does this with every cord she can get her hands on! I think she thinks they're all "pretties."

Girls just wanna have fun!

Akyah and I have been having lots of summer fun! It has been a long time since I posted but was waiting for the pictures from Akyah's birthday and finally got some today. Akyah is now 13 months old, walking, and talking all the time- She has quite the vocabulary and is very good about saying " thank you." We recently went to Las Vegas for a week and had a wonderful time with my best friend and other friends down there. Here are just some the pictures from this summers fun:
