We Love the Easter Bunny!

The Johnson's invited us to join them in Grapevine for an Easter Egg Hunt. We decided to add that to Ted's birthday weekend activities! We had a wonderful time! The weather was perfect and we all had such a great time! The birthday daddy and his girl (who I promise was happy, I caught her at the wrong moment)

Sally loved this Alpaca ( or giraffe if you're Sally). She was clapping and making clicking sounds to get his attention!

She was all about the petting zoo. She picked up a chicken (by his wings), petted bunnies, goats, and horses, and dropped a bunny! Thankfully, these animals were unphased-- they must have seen much worse!

Sally and Piper got their faces painted like bunnies.

Cutest bunnies around if you ask me! :) ( I love Piper's sunglasses!)

They visited Mr. and Mrs. Bunny.

"Hey man!"

Sally held a duckling. I love the look on the girls' faces in this picture-- little sponges just exploring!

We wrapped up the morning with Dora fruit snacks. (Taylor totally saved the day...we had no idea how we were going to get the girls out of the bounce house until Taylor told them it was time to come out for fruit snacks--- Genius!)

After the petting zoo, face painting, egg hunting, bounce houses, and snacks, we headed over to Central Market for Ted's birthday lunch and some playground playing. What a perfect day with sweet, sweet friends!

Minnie Mouse Mania!

We had a wonderful time at Sally's birthday party. We are so thankful for the sweet friends who were able to join us to celebrate. We did a Minnie Mouse theme for our own Minnie Mouse lover.

Allison, Lauren Margaret, and Avery. We were so glad they could join us!

We had cake to feed about 75! I've distributed cake to everyone I know!

The girls were adorable while they ate their lunch together! Thanks Grandmums and Grampa (PePaw)! We LOVE the picnic table!

These girls are serious about their cake!

Sweet Ava and her beautiful mommy, Kristen!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Sally!

Tremendous Twos!

Some details about our tremendous two-year-old!

* she's very talkative! If she's awake, she's talking. Lately she's been saying "Oh my gosh" but she says it with such disgust that it sounds dirty...so we're working on "oh my stars!"

*she loves to play outside and runs and plays just like she's big...she's even had her first real skinned knee and elbow. She loves the "back-ard" and the "park park park." The slides are her favorite.

* she loves to go home and check on "Assey" and "Popper" (Aspen and Copper) each afternoon. Sometimes that is the only way I talk her into leaving Nana and PopPop's.

* "merk" and "dmas" (milk and bananas) with a side of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in Mommy and Daddy's bed makes a great morning for Sally.

*Ring-around-the-rosy and dancing to Train's Soul Sister are her favorite dancing with Mommy and Daddy times.

*At least once a day she requests "frin fries" and she can order them for herself at the drive-thru. (We really don't go THAT often!)

*She loves her weekend trips to Home Depot or Lowes with Daddy.

*She is very quick to say "sorry Mommy" because she knows that is a sure ticket out of time out!

*She takes her diaper off the minute it gets wet or dirty...potty training is in full force! I'm a bit afraid that it might get a little tricky before its a done deal-- she takes her diaper off every single day during nap time at Nana's.

Love, love, love our sweet girl. Just when I think it can't get any better she surprises me with a whole new stage. She is a true joy. I am so thankful for the incredible blessing of this not-so-little-anymore, precious girl.

Sally's Birthday Week!

Yes, I said week...we're kind of working on a birthday couple of weeks...but I just can't help it! Sally loves all things birthday and she has for a few months. She loves to sing the song, blow out candles, and of course, cake! She loves to celebrate anyone's birthday, and its been especially fun celebrating her own special day, er week, with her! We started the week by baking pink cupcakes.
My ragamuffin!
LOVE this face! (excuse my tired eyes...)
Next on our birthday agenda was a special get-together with Piper, Sally's special birthday buddy!
We met at Swirl bakery for some birthday treats!
The girls loved picking out their cookie and cupcake.
Then we opened some presents at home early on her real birthday.
She had a busy day pushing Mickey around in her new stroller.
We had a little mini-party at Nana's house with the family. The best part of this picture is that she looks very sweet like she is only looking at the cake. What the picture doesn't show is the back side of the cake with giant finger prints and holes in the icing. She just couldn't help it!
Joining in singing one of her favorite songs!
The girl gets serious about cake and ice cream.
We moved the party outside to open presents. Aunt Megan and Uncle Eric got her this orange skirt. She put it on as soon as she opened it!

What a fun birthday week we've had.....let the birthdaying continue!
