Can anyone guess what we're getting the girls for their birthdays?

A few pics from our vacation: They take their football VERY seriously around here. Very. We were driving around and someone had done this to their backyard fence. The girls have been having a ball throwing rocks in the stream under this covered bridge. They've got wicked strong arms, maybe tee-ball is in their future. Our cousins have these park animals in their backyard and they have gotten a huge workout this week. Plus, we have now proven that the rides are twinproof (thank goodness)—it was proven when Ro tried to rock so hard that the animal's nose would touch the ground. (She didn't succeed, but she did get bucked off pretty hard at one point. Hee.) We drove around visiting relatives and tried not to wreak too much havoc on our way. Cousin A had matching tutu PJs and all three girls could not wait to get into them. I think this picture was taken around 6pm. The cupcakes were a big hit (as expected). Can you tell who's who since they're both dressed in pink? It took the girls about half a minute to learn how to squeal the tires, crank the wheel and reverse, and drive back and forth right down the middle of the driveway. Does anyone have any links to cars like these that are available with two seats? Because the girls are dying to get one of these for their birthdays, and I'm pretty sure daddy will come through. Visiting the covered bridge again (they've thrown so many rocks in that we're afraid the stream is going to dam up). This was NOT planned. Seriously. And what's more, it's not the first time it has happened. These two cousins just kill me. Fun times. We had a big party tonight and got to see even more family, which was awesome. I'll have to download the pics later. Tomorrow is travel day, so keep your fingers crossed for us (and the fellow passengers).

  9. Yes, the Barbie cars are two seaters. If look here you will see them and yes my little grandson was driving the Barbie ones because they belonged to his twin cousins. http://picasaweb.google.com/Macladie/DonovanSBirthday#

  10. Power wheels and steelers jerseys... So they can properly tailgate this fall :) Here we go Steelers! Glad you guys are having fun here in PA :)

  11. The twinados always leave a trail of smiles and laughs in their wake.

    And I think that Marie is the first one in the cupcake pictures.

  12. Was that bridge at McConnell's Mills? I'm not far from there :)

  13. What a great vacay filled with family fun!! Heh...the pic of Wela and her cousin is a hoot! They like to play twins too!

    OK, risking my (bad) reputation at telling the girls apart in pictures I'd guess the top pic is Ro and the bottom Ree? Ahhh....probably wrong again!!

    Glad you had such a great time away hanging out and having fun! Are the girls driving home in an electric car or flying with momma and daddy? I'll wave as you fly over later today.

  16. Hey now! Don't be making fun of Steeler country. My grandparents used to live around there. And Terry Bradshaw lived down the street from them before he became... well... THE Terry Bradshaw. He taught me how to throw a football. Well, he sort of taught me how to throw a football.

    Top cupcake eater is Ree and bottom one is Ro? Just a guess because Ree usually has a more serious expression and Ro smiles more.

  18. Oh my goodness, Ilove the idea of the girls tailgating ! Hey, they could do bento boxes while tail gating. Or set up a lemonade stand from their truck.

    The only sligtht, wee little problem, er challenge, is the cars don't come in Y E L L O W, but the barbie is P I N K.

    Man, I want to move to your neighborhood. But the commute would kill me.

    Blessings,

  19. Looks like you had a very fun filled trip!! The matching pj's are adorable:)

    We have the two seater barbie jeep, and it looks like you have already received the link.......we love it!! Even Nick can fit in it with Sarah to help her navigate, although this year she is doing pretty well on her own!!

    Safe Travels today!

  22. Barbie Power Wheels jeep. My two live in the darn thing and whip it into reverse and do a little "Y" turn on the driveway.

    Love it!

  23. Looks like a fun time is being had by ALL!!! Too funny Wela and cousin dressed alike!

    Guessing electric cars???

    ReplyDelete
  24. You're going to set the precedent of buying them cars? Well, okay, but brace yourself in about 12 years.

    And, what's the idea having all these birthdays, by the way? I mean, they just had one last year! Can't we slow this process down a little? Criminy.

    I think you guys need to come down to Disneyland soon, before the girls start "real school." Just one woman's opinion.

    Sorry my last post had the wrong link. I found your blog when blog hopping and so you don't know me, but I wanted to tell you how sturdy those Power Wheels Barbie jeeps are. My 14 yr old son still messess with my 8 yr old daughters jeep. You can see how they hold up in this video my son made:

  27. Yeah, the kids who live behind us (a little girl aged 3 and a boy aged 5, I think) actually share a pink Barbie Jeep and you can fit both kids in the front seat. They seem to have a blast with it!

    We have a John Deere Gator by Peg Perego. My boys have always loved it but we had no place to ride it so it now lives at my sister's farm & we retain visitation. It has 2 seats & a huge box for all their stuff. http://www.amazon.com/Peg-Perego-USA-IGOD0049-Deere/dp/B001CO1XJU

  32. DUDE! We have a Barbie Jeep (minus the cheesy Barbie stickers! Dad was NOT letting those happen...had to put cool Jeep and Mickey stickers on instead!) and the girls LOVE it.

    Their trick? Laney usually steers while Abby sits in the passenger seat and controls the gear shift AND the gas pedal! AMAZING! We're just praying they get some serious practice in before they turn 16!

    SUCH FUN!!!

    AND love the jammies!!!

  33. Hey - you're in my neck of the woods! Well, my old neck of the woods anyway. Now, I'm in the Boston area, and I can attest that Steelers fans are just as passionate as Red Sox fans! People in southwestern PA bleed black and gold!

    My little boy had the Power Wheels Gator from Walmart. It's a two seater & has a cool dump bed in the back. He loved to help with yardwork. The downside was, he chose this, my daughter chose a chihuahua for her birthday. They fought over the John Deere all the time. We had to say "OK, 2 laps each" then they would argue over how many times they had gone.

    I highly recommend getting 2 of whatever you buy.

  35. What an awesome vacation! Love the cupcake pics. I am guessing you are getting footballs?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Okay so when my hubby read the post that I put you were getting them footballs, he said "Are you serious? They are getting cars." I told him I was being sarcastic. Apparently that didn't come through. So...hang on to your hats and I hope they enjoy the wheels.

  38. I'm guessing that the bottom twin is Marie. Even if I'm wrong, I love the smile and the twinkle in her eye...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Uh-oh. I'm going to have to hide this post from my spouse....or, he'll be painting a Steelers logo on our fence, retaining wall, house or some such thing. (I live with THE most crazy PA native and Steelers fan on the planet!)
    Glad your trip went so well.
