Aubree's 2nd Birthday Party!

 

Our little baby girl is now a toddler. Time is flying by so fast lately that it is scary! Aubree's birthday this year was extremely close to my due date so I decided that I would have her birthday party a little early and make it an easy one. I don't know what it is, but these simple backyard party's that I do for the kids most years are always a highlight for me. All the kids (and hopefully adults) had a blast. The kids were as happy as can be and all loved playing on the new playset as well as the sandbox, bikes, and trampoline. It took some convincing to get Aubree away from her cousins to open presents. She was a super happy birthday girl and actually smiled for a few pictures. She had a lot of support from all her favorite people and her Aunt Leslee made her a cute owl cake. She got a lot of fun toys, baby dolls, and clothes (and playset). It was 80 degree's but starting to cool off when the party started so it was just a real nice evening.

 This little girl has been such a blast to raise. She keeps us on our feet and keeps us sharp. She is hilarious and a dare devil, she is self-sufficient and a perfectionist, she is bossy and very caring. She is my perfect little 2 year old and I look forward to sooo many more years. We love you Aubree!

And this is how I found Aubree asleep. She got a new sleep light thing and she fell asleep looking at it.

Easter 2014

This Easter was a nice Easter, like all of them are. We had a rough day at church and ended up coming home early and it didn't help that the kids new playset was finally done and they wanted to go play on that.
We started off Easter on Saturday with the South Ogden Days Easter Egg Hunt which is always a hit. Steven was working so I asked my sister to tag along and help. Both kids did really well picking up as many eggs as they could, I was actually surprised at how fast Aubree was at getting them and putting them in the basket.
Sunday we started off the morning with our Easter baskets and Easter Bunny pancakes. Went to church, and then after naps we went to my parents for another Easter Egg Hunt. The kids had a lot of fun and got quite a bit of candy (just what we need!).
It was a nice day spent with family and it is always fun dressing up my kids extra nice for special days.

Our Family of four, soon to be five.

Soo cute! Love them!

Aubree at 22 months

As Aubree reaches closer and closer to two there isn't a ton of different things she does each month, there is always the improved talking and learning new things but her personality is always the same. Crazy, fun, and wild.  She is very adventurous which is a good and bad thing for a parent. She has a love/hate relationsip with her cousin Daxton who is 3 months younger than her. She always talks about him but cant seem to be nice when he is around. She loves to make a mess anywhere she goes, she has her own mind and no one is going to change that, and she doesn't like to be bossed around. She is a good helper and will often put things away before I ask her two.

 No teeth popped through this month, but we did have a really bad bacterial infection that we got the pleasure to deal with. She had an ear infection, eye cold and the bacterial infection. It was a rough week or two with no sleep from anyone. She got to go to Surf N Swim this month and LOVED it! I thought she would be more afraid of the water and waves but she was the complete opposite.. I found myself wishing I brought a life jacket for her.

 

 She fell asleep on the carpet. Too funny.

 Watching TV..and her hair was super cute that day :)

 

 She loves her sunglasses!

Playing with bubbles. I love how funny her nose looks!

Surf N Swim time!
