And She's Off!

Here are some walking video's of Hannah...she can walk the entire length of our upstairs, but insists on doing that when all cameras and phones are nicely tucked away and our backs our turned. She's a fast little turkey...we're in TROUBLE! ! Way to go Hannah!

You can also see Krazy Brother Kayden in the videos...never a dull moment in the Loftus House! :) hehe

The Loftus' vs. Nickelodeon Universe

On Saturday we decided to head to the Mall of America to take Kayden to Nickelodeon Universe. Eric and I had researched and saw that K best Backyardigan friends were going to be there to meet. Pablo and Uniqua. http://www.nickjr.com/the-backyardigans/ (if you are not familiar...become familiar for Kayden, hehehe) We lucked out when we were getting ready to buy tickets for the rides and a nice girl game up and sold us her unlimited wrist band for cheap, they weren't going to use it. An adult rides free w/ a paid little one, so we were set. Here is a photo spread of our adventure. So proud of both kids for doing so well, it was the busiest I have EVER seen the mall. Proud of myself for not going into a SINGLE STORE, and proud of Eric for not hurting anyone. :)

We're going WHERE!?!?! To see WHOOOO??????

Hannah being patient and watching K on the rides

Scanning his wristband on his FIRST RIDE!

What the heck is this thing?

Diego's Bus Ride! Or as Kayden says "Lego Bus."

The other dad next to K and Eric taught him "arms up," it continued on all the rides, yes those are his little hands in the air.


Mommy & Kayden waiting patiently in line for Blues Clues!


Hi Daddy, Hi Hannah!

Cell Phone Picture....just a LITTLE excited.

WEEEEEEE! "No Kayden we aren't hitting the button to go up & down or Mommy will throw up." :)

YEAH!

This little girl LOVES to say HI, she's a superstar waver!

Can't believe how good she was in the stroller watching and sitting all day.

Uniqua!

Pablo!

Hugs for Uniqua! Sweet little boy!

What to do when you meet your idol for the 1st time??

FIST BUMP!

LOVE THIS PICTURE!! Going to frame it for his room.

The shark from Underwater World, he was sitting there, not moving and K walked up to him and didn't know he was real - then he moved and K FREAKED OUT! LOL I thought of you Auntie Holly! :) hehe

1st time on a merry-go-round! LOVED IT!

He yelled "giddy up" and "yee haw," the whole time!
