Three Amigos

Okay so I've got a lot of blogging to catch up on. So, let's just dive right in and talk about an amazing cousin weekend we had with our buddy Brody. He is sort of a celebrity in our house so we shipped him in for the weekend in order to study all his sweet moves. And, I think it was a success. Also, I attempted to gain the title of "Best Aunt Ever," so I had a lot of work to do. But as it turns out Maggie and Henry get me way more cred with Brody than I could ever muster up on my own.

These little beauties were created during our weekend o' fun.
We did some decorating and a whole lotta taste testing and finger lickin.'
Oh yeah...just trying to earn some awesome auntie points (and maybe some Mommy ones too).
Why yes I did draw this amazing chalk race track in our back yard.
Did I let them watch Bible Man in super hero garb?
And take them to a birthday party for Jesus at our church...yes and yes. I'm expecting a plaque of some sort any day now from Brody.

slumber party

A few weeks ago a major event occurred in the Dirks home, we had a slumber party with our pal Lucy. The girls dressed up, played games and attempted to sleep. The giggling lasted for quite awhile but died down around 10pm. One would have thought that the late night giggling would have lead to a late morning sleep in, but oh no, the giggling returned around 6am. But, who can blame them, after all it was a slumber party and one must give equal opportunity to both the slumber and the party.

5 Months Old!

This little cutie turned five months old today. I can't believe how quickly time goes by. She is so precious to us and is such a good baby. She is very content to watch her brother and sister play and even allows some rough handling from big brother. And she does it all with a smile on her face.

Play time is more fun on a Kansas State blanket, don't you think?She is quite the roly poly baby. I took this picture because she rolled herself right under the coffee table and it made me giggle (and her too).

Turkey Day

Thanksgiving was not so much about eating turkey as it was about playing with cousins at Grandma and Poppa's house this year. The kids had a ball, we barely saw them because they were so busy playing. However this bouncy house was a home base for most of the play time.
But, there was other forms of play as well.
Even "tractor" rides...pretend (pictured above) and real ones given by Poppa all over the yard and neighborhood. They were indeed thankful.

Girls Rule 2011

What do these three sweet baby girls have in common?
They were all born in 2011 and they belong to me and my college roommates! We planned it just right...only joking but isn't that cool?

Four Months!

Baby girl is four months old!
