Random pics from the last couple of weeks

I blinked again and it is nearly June! Here are some random pics since the last blog entry. Enjoy!

Lillian loves her sweet potato :)

I wasn't going to post this picture, but it cracks me up. I just can't seem to open my eyes in these underwater pictures. And Lillian, well... I think she opens her mouth every time she goes underwater.
Here is Lexi getting ready for the start of the 17th of May parade (Norway's Constitution Day)

Here we are "marching" in the parade

This is our local parade with the local schools and daycares (barnehages). Lexi marched with the other Hålandsmarka Barnehage kids. As you can see, the weather was a bit dismal :(

Here are Lexi and Tim during the parade

Tim and Lillian after the parade

Bunad or no bunad, Lexi is our climber....

Grace came over one Saturday to play and Lexi and Grace had a tea party (with little chocolate "ice cream cones" - compliments of Jacinta via Marks and Spencer :) )
Grace and Lexi received a present a while back from their good friend Elita. They thought it was super fun to both wear the same skirt and pink top!
Here is Lexi with some of her fellow Cubbies receiving her participation award for this year's AWANA program. (AWANA is a wonderful program to teach children and youth the Word of Christ. Our church has an AWANA program that meets on Thursday nights throughout the school year. Lexi was a Cubbie - 3-5 year olds.)

Miss smiley can now sit up all by herself

They say that your first child regresses back to being a baby when baby #2 is born. This is partly true. Although Lexi loves being a big sister and "taking care" of Lillian, she also loves to play with Lillian's toys (often taking them from Lillian) and baby equipment. The funny part is that skinny minny still fits in the Bumbo chair with the tray on! (Notice the "baby bowl" as well...)
We spent a long weekend in Feda and have just come home today. The weather wasn't the greatest, but here is Tim and his helper, Lexi, taking the boat out for an evening spin. (Lexi takes in the buoys)
Saturday morning at the boathouse - Lillian is all smiles and ready for breakfast, Lexi is zoned out in front of the TV :)
Since the weather was crum, we went to the indoor water park in Lyndal on Friday. Lillian LOVES water - bath water, swimming pools, you name it!

Big sister Lexi loves the water as well...

Lillian's first boat ride

Lexi and Lillian got a new playhouse (it was on a super sale). It will eventually go downstairs at the boathouse, but since it was pouring down rain on Saturday, it got assembled in the living room :)
