Who's your daddy?

My sister-in-law Melanie planned the 1st annual Mansfield family Father's day Who's your daddy competition (wow that's a mouthful). She put together several silly games and we competed family against family, or daddy against daddy. Which ever family had the most points by the end of the night got to take home this lovely trophy, and all had so much fun. Thanks Mel for all your hard work.

In this game the dad's had to pick up m & m's from one bowl and put them into another bowl, using only a straw. They were timed, and whoever got the most was the winner. Big Mike won this game.

This game everyone had a balloon tied to their leg. Last one standing with a balloon was the winner. Wyatt won this game.

This was the bean bag toss. Whoever was closest to the target scored points. There was also a bonus target that could give you points, but you had to hit the target. Grandma & grandpa had the most points after this game.

This was suppose to be a race to get the balloons from one point to another using only squirt bottles. The wind won this game. It blew so hard we weren't able to do this one.

I think this was everyone's favorite game (with maybe the exception of the boys). The boys tied a tissue box with ping pong balls in it around their waste. They had to shake, dance, jump, etc. to get all the balls out. Whoever did it the quickest was the winner. It was quite entertaining to watch them all shake their stuff, and show their moves. Grandpa won this game.





In this game all the kids got to dress up in as many accessories as they wanted. Then Melanie took them into the other room and they switched some of their items. The dads had to then write down which items had changed. The kids loved this one. They had fun dressing up. Big Mike won this game.


The candy elevator was made out of two pencils and some yarn. The boys put m & m's on the pencils and had to lift them up to their mouth, and then eat the m & m's. Not as easy as it sounds. Kevin was the winner of this game.


Grandpa and Mike tied, so they had an ice cream tasting contest as a tie breaker. Mike ended up the winner, and got to take home the trophy. We are all looking forward to what games they come up with next year.

Aubrey's Toes

Some babies like to suck on a binky. Other babies like to suck their thumb or fingers. My baby likes to suck her toe. It is a good thing that she can't walk yet and her feet are still relatively clean.

Brynli loves to read

Brynli has learned to read and she loves it. This is what I found the other morning. Brynli was reading to Aubrey. I thought it was too precious to not get a picture.
And, of course, as I pull my camera out Sadie wants a picture too. Brynli was very willing to read to both of her little sisters.
