Jovanna's 2nd Birthday!

Baby MacBean celebrated Jovanna's 2nd birthday today! We had a special heart-shaped balloon, chocolate cake, ice cream and sang songs. All of Jovanna's friends enjoyed being part of the action, especially eating the cake! Yum! Thanks for sharing your special day with us. Happy Birthday, Jovanna!

Hey, what's this cold, chocolate-y stuff...?

All the gang, enjoying the tasty desserts!

 "YUMMMMMM!!!"

Slip-N-Slide

It's officially summer! That means it's time for the slipperiest fun of all: the Slip-N-Slide! Ryan was by far the most adventurous of the bunch. He just couldn't get enough of the water fun. Shay enjoyed the water...from across the yard! That was close enough for him. He would come cautiously close, then run back. It was so cute! 

 Ryan and Shay decided to form a band together while everyone else was changing back into their clothes. They're called "The Swim Diapers"!

Bounce House Boogie

Baby MacBean has a Bounce House for the day! The large inflatable jumper, with the air blower humming, can be a little...unfamiliar to the little ones. It took about an hour before all the children dared climb inside. But they finally did, with Madison boldly leading the way!

Painted Faces

The children had so much fun painting their hands and making Mother's Day hand prints that they wanted to do it again. A few of them were a little apprehensive that we wanted them to get their hands "dirty" and covered with paint when we were making the presents, but they soon warmed to the idea and wanted to paint their arms and faces, too!

 

 Impressive goatee, Ryan!!

"Hey guys, am I putting this on right? I can't see..."

 Shay's hands, after...

"I feel pretty, oh so pretty..."

 The painting table, afterwards...

 Caught red-handed...literally!
