Linden and the boys

Look how surprised Quinn was with all the other babes in his place! Too cute!





Here are some photos of today's playdate- Linden was the only girl today- we missed Avery and Ryleigh! But Linden had all the boys to herself- she held her own! All the babies were wonderful until the witching hour of needing a nap! When we set them all up for a group photo, it was apparently melt down time! (See Jake R.'s photo) Thanks for hosting MB- we had a great time! Linden especially likes the tub of toys!

Tippy-toes

Linden is so determined to be taller....
Look at her tippy toes stance, just to get about a half an inch taller!
"What? Can't you see I am busy???"

This is what all the tippy-toes are for! What a look! That teak must taste GOOD!

Mommy and Linden

snack time anyone?

Now I know why Nana had to put a lock on the fridge! If she could climb in there- she would! Look at all her fun snacks!

Our First Father's Day

These are some close up pics that Brett took of Linden this weekend- He is always saying that she's an angel.....



It was our very special first Father's Day today! We had a relaxing morning with special blueberry pancakes and presents- Brett got a couple shirts that Linden picked out at Banana Republic and a pair of Cole Haan shoes from Mommy. We had some friends over for lunch and relaxed in the afternoon. It was a great day! Very special for Brett!

Into EVERYTHING!

Linden has started climbing on EVERYTHING and getting her cutie little hands into anything. She loves to pull herself up on the furniture and stand or scoot around it. Here she is going through her "library" and reorganizing for Mommy! Whenever she's done going through something she looks at us, with that "who ME?" face- gotta love it! And, the ruffles on her butt are just the icing in the cake!

Grandpa Hamilton

Grandpa Don Hamilton came to check out our new house. We showed him our new place and had dinner outside. Linden could not stop smiling at her Grandpa- she was clapping for his arrival as well. As you can see- the boys always get dressed up for their pics with Linden!

muddy moms hit the pit

The San Jose muddy buddy race was today. Kara and I joined forces to create a "muddy mom" duo. It is a 7 mile bike/run with obstacles throughout the course- it was a blast! We were not the best mountain bikers before today- but now we are pretty skilled! It was crazy fun and we had such a great race! We had to dredge through a mud pit at the end of the race! We did a pretty good job not getting too muddy- but muddy enough! Kara was a great partner in GRIME!

clap, clap, clap and more clapping

Pool party at the Casey's

We went to the Casey's for a pool party on Sunday- Linden and Avery are like two peas in a pod! The just light up when they are around each other. They are best buds! We had a great time bbqing and relaxing in the pool when the girls took a nap!

Crawling sequence

Linden crawling across the living room floor! Here's our latest- she's a crawler- put her down and she's on the go! As you can see- it makes her very tired- she decided to take a snooz on Daddy's knee! We love monkeying around on the floor some nights. She loves to stand next to the ottoman.
