She's 2!

I can't believe this little girly girl has turned 2 already.  We had a fun little celebration for her...pretty low key compared to the norm.  We just had cake and ice cream and a few other family members join us.  We were living at Harris' parents at the time so we got to have Darren there too!  Misty, Callie and the kids got to come too so we had a great time!  

 Amelia started crying because she burnt her little finger when she was blowing out the candles :(

 She got a new baby, blanket and cradle to take care of!  

At 2 years old, Amelia is sassy as ever.  She may appear to be quiet and sweet (which she can be) but there is definitely a whole other side to her!  She loves to be girly, which I love that she loves, and plays kitchen, babies, steals my high heels and walks all over the house in them.  She talks a lot, but mainly in chinese.  Most of what she says I understand or put together the pieces of it but mostly because I'm her mom, but anyone can understand "I want a cookie" or "no way" ;)  Her favorite foods are pizza, chicken nuggets, and chocolate.  She also loves making up songs and copying everything her older brother does.  She is a sweetie and we love her.  Hope she had a fun birthday even if she probably won't remember it!

4th of July Celebration!!!

This 4th of July we decided to do things a little differently than usual. My sister's MIL got us a sweet deal on a hotel room downtown. They had a swimming pool and super quick walking access to the fireworks at the park. We thought, "what the hay" since we didn't get to go on a family vacation this summer. It turned out to be a super fun little "stay-cation." The kids thought it was so cool to walk home from the fireworks and sleep in a cool hotel room, and wake up to a sweet continental breakfast. It was definitely worthwhile! They got to have their fun cousins over for a little while too. Go USA! We love you!

They played Mario while waiting for it to get dark. These are their Mario Bros. poses!

Wahoo!

Sassy pants doesn't like getting her pic taken these days.

Sweet little backrest little Mil has going on.

Bridal Shower for the little Sis

Having a few older sisters and a cool mom, you get a pretty sweet shower out of it. Callie had her bridal shower over Memorial Day weekend and Misty and Whitney were both able to be there. It was tons of fun, super cute, and she got some great gifts! She's a lucky girl to have such great friends and family! Congratulations Callie! We had such a fun time!

Mmmmm, look at the jar o' cheese balls.

Delicious beverages concocted by Mom and Whitney. She's picked up a few skills from Sonic runs.

Adorable frame hanging sign from Misty (my idea though ;) )
