Cadence 2nd Birthday!

Cadence turned two in September and we celebrated with friends and family at the house. She was so excited to see her Nana and Papa and Grandma Tutu and of course her Auntie's; I think that was the best gift!

Ohana

15 days in paradise with our loved ones was just what the doctor ordered. Hawaii is home away from home for our family and we are so blessed to have parents who have introduced us to the islands and have made sure our children grow up with the same appreciation. Thank you mom and Dad!

Cousin Ashton Comes to Visit

We are having a blast this week with our Cousin Ashton on his visit to Vancouver. We played at the water park, made cookies, arts and crafts and have simply enjoyed our family time together. What a blessing! We love you Ashton!

A Day at the Beach

Manzanita, Oregon is the most beautiful Pacific Beach I have ever been to! We had a blast building sand castles and eating a picnic full of sand :)

What a great place to be. We will be back soon!

Delani Starts Soccer!

Delani has joined the West Side soccer club and began practices this week. After Chandler went bananas and bought her all kinds of soccer gear, she not only looked liked she knew what she was doing, but played like she knew what she was doing! She said her favorite part of practice was the "dribbling between the cones". She is getting so big!

Hawaiian Days at Ester Short Park Vancouver

Since moving to Vancouver, WA we have been so pleased with how many wonderful, family friendly activities there are to participate in. Vancouver, WA is a large city with a hometown feel. There is something to do every week from city parades, weekend markets and concerts in the park. This weekend we experienced Hawaiian days in Ester Short park. Delani got her face painted and Cady practiced her hula!!

Bella and Delani

Margo and Bella came to visit over the weekend and we had a fabulous GIRLS weekend!

Bella, Delani and Cadence are such great friends! It is so much fun watching them grow up together and watch their personalities develop and transform. Margo and Dani will need to keep close eyes on these beautiful girls....we know what can happen :)

Update on Cadence

Cadence is full of life! Her sense of humor is growing right along with her little legs and she is hilarious to be around. She is still a big eater and decided to be the first to enjoy the fruits of our garden!

She looks so much like her cousin DUDE!!

Mamma's Birthday Weekend

What a wonderful Birthday weekend with friends and Family! Grandma and Grandpa TuTu came down and we celebrated with lots of food and that great big chocolate cake! Delani and Her best littel bud Rachel made posters to welcome Karl in to Portland as he completed the STP!

Who Doesn't Love Short-RIBS!!!

Even though Cadence has been feeling under the weather she wasn't shy when it came to mom and dads dinner last night. She attacked those short-ribs as if it was prey! Now we know she likes short-ribs! Hungry little baby!

A Day at Vancouver Lake Park

CHEESE!

What a Beautiful Day!

There is nothing like living in the beautiful Northwest! We went exploring over the weekend and took a nice long walk down around Vancouver Lake. What a great park with a beach, volleyball, lots of grass, play area and tons of places to BBQ and sit under the big shady trees. I think a party is in order! The girls had a blast and due to the heat needed to cool off after all that fun.

New Addition

Please welcome Cellphina and Jak. The new 9 week old additions to our family.

Happy 4th of July!

The Fourth of July was a great holiday weekend at the Randolph Family house. We have met so many nice people in our neighborhood and were invited to spend the holiday festivities with them. Delani got to play with the childhood favorite "Pops" and "sparklers". Cady was not too impressed by the fireworks and actually found them loud and scary. She was a cuddle bug the entire time!

Cadence is getting BIG!

Check Cady out as she dances around in her high heels!

Delani Graduates From Pre-School!

On June 2nd, Delani celebrated with her friends as they graduated from pre-school! She was so cute in her cap and gown and loved all of the attention. She is growing up so fast!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend full of fun, friends and family! The Randolph Family Garden is in and we are all anxious to enjoy the yummy veggies this Summer! Cousin Ashton and Auntie Elisha came down to visit this weekend and we all got to spend some time with Grandma Holly and Grandpa Jim at their property in Longview. Swimming, weeding, four-wheeling and sun bathing, we had a fun filled weekend!

Cadence 1st Haircut

Cadence did amazingly well getting her haircut for the first time. She sat still for a good 3 minutes while the hairdresser snipped away at her wispy hair. Just about the time she was finished, Cady ripped the drape off her and jumped off the chair; she was finished too!

Cady now looks like a little doll with her fresh new look.

Hazel Dell Parade

The Randolph Family enjoyed the Hazel Day Parade this past weekend where we saw marching bands and drill teams, caught candy and flying loafs of bread! How fun!

Mothers Day Tea

On Tuesday Delani and her pre-school class hosted Mothers day Tea for mom and grandmas available. Grandma TuTu drove all the way down from Auburn just to be there. It was wonderful! Delani and her classmates were all dressed up and they sang beautiful songs and served snacks and tea. Here you will see a picture of Delani and her best friend Mia. What a great Mothers Day gift!

JJ Jumping with new friends!

On Saturday at Delani’s ballet class, Charlotte invited us to her 4th Birthday party. We accepted the invitation as it was good news after learning Delani’s dance recital fell smack dab in the middle of our Vegas vacation! Yes, kids com first!!! Delani and Cadie and such a wonderful time jumping and playing with all their new friends. Cadie was a little apprehensive of the inflatable toys, but had no problem when it came to the cupcake.
