i have a 2 year old

am i even old enough for that? well apparently i am, and we celebrated emmy turning two last week. we kept going back and forth about if we wanted to throw her a party or not. i came to the conclusion that birthdays are special, and my kids will get parties every year. even if they only invite two or three friends. she is only going to turn two once in her life.. so we have to celebrate.

the theme this year was "emmy's favorite things". move over oprah there is a new favorite lister in town! ha. rather then have people over, we opted for emmy's favorite meal, at our favorite breakfast joint (ohana cafe.. aka the bread crumb), and the kids grubbed on her favorite.. mickey mouse pancakes. success!




we asked everyone to wear her favorite color. red. it was fun to have everyone matching, and i loved that most of the parents played along too.

the goody bags were filled with all of emmy's favorite things. playdough, bubbles, fruit snacks (kelloggs brand. yes she is that picky), a shovel for her favorite place; the beach, stickers, and whistles. right now her favorite thing to do is blow all of her whistles in my face while i am nursing. thanks.



when the kids got restless sidney was nice enough to take them on shopping cart rides.




emmy with charlie.. and proof that she actually does have fun and smile sometimes.


i just wanted to point out the fact that she has a cupcake in front of her. at 10:30 in the morning. but instead she wanted an orange. no wonder she is so skinny.


and finally, this is the dress that i made her for her birthday. not the best picture (she wouldn't stand still.. after all she is two now), but i just love it. there are a couple things that i want to fix, but am proud to say that i whipped this out the night before.. impromptu.

after emmy's least favorite thing to do, take a nap, we all went to her other favorite place. the happiest place on earth, and celebrated with mickey.

i can't believe my little girl is two. i hope she knows how much we love her.

fathers day part 2

i feel extremely lucky and incredibly blessed to be married to this man. he is constantly helping me be a better person, continually encouraging me in all my dreams, and supporting me every step of the way. but most importantly, he is the best dad to our two kids. i love watching emmy light up every day he walks in the door, and witnessing those little smiles that dane gives him in their quiet moments together. thank you baker for being everything and more to me and our babies. i love you.


this is a little video emmy made baker for fathers day. as a warning, it may be a bit long for those of you who aren't family!

fathers day part 1

we spent the evenings at my dads house playing pong, bocce ball, and oohing and ahhing over the three grandkids that were there. dinner was delish. it just felt good to be with family.


why my dad had to bbq on fathers day we are still trying to figure out.


dad and his mom. she is one of the most beautiful people on the planet. hands down.



these are two of the three new additions to the family. kyler is 6 weeks older then dane. we missed little baby charlie right between them. unfortunately she is still stuck in utah. please come visit. please.




seriously, do you think that i could ever get a picture with emmy smiling? probably not. she is not into haming it up. you think maybe the camera is in her face too much?




i love these cousins. sooo much fun. oh wait.. is that emmy attempting a smile? it's a miracle. probably cause grandma was the one with the camera.


this was our attempt at a family picture. ha. yeah right.


baker and i never get pictures together. almost never. so as terrible as it is of me, this picture makes me happy.


i.love.him. my sweet dane is beginning to love life a bit more. heavenly.

fathers day

post coming tomorrow.. been trying to upload a video since this morning.. at 9. really does blogger take that long?

updates

from our trip to nanny and grandpas house coming soon.

just know we had a lot of fun!

life with a brother

ummm.. i'm not too sure about this kid.


oh he's not half bad.. i kind of like him.


in fact, i'll even cut him some slack.


why is he getting so close though?


no seriously, i don't like him being this close to me. get him off of me.


suit yourself.. if you aren't going to get him off, i'll get him off myself. with a slug in the face.

dane took it like a champ. always does.

dinner tastes better in the tub

em doesn't like to use a fork, and i don't like cleaning the floors every time she eats. so when the menu called for spaghetti... we moved her party to the tub. easy clean up.




*as a side note, i just got around to uploading pictures from my point and shoot camera. pictures from way back to my birthday.. which was in january. needless to say i have a lot of catching up to do. they may get out of order so appologies. for instance, these pictures above were life before dane. i can barely remember those days.

"woah, coool"

this is one of emmy's favorite things to say right now, i'm not sure why. anytime some one shows her something, it's "woah coool" from her. i like it.

she has been under the weather for a couple days, so when we went for a little sunday drive to get out of the house we let her wear her mickey hat, her glasses, and even let her keep her paci (which is strictly a sleeping tool), all things she was crying about prior to leaving.

when i looked back at her, all i could think was "woah, coool!"

jealous much?

the day we returned home from up north em was on one. the poor girl had been stuck in her carseat for 6 hours. even dane got to get out of his to eat. so, when we got home and immediately i sat down to be with dane and feed him, em let me know how she felt about it.


first she grabbed his paci and blankey and sat in his carseat.


then i was getting the playmat ready for him to lay down.. she got there before he did.



then finally when i got him down on the playmat, she decided that she would sit in the bouncer..

do you think she was trying to tell me something? "hey mom, i'm here too!"

*photos courtesy my iphone.. i hadn't yet unpacked the car.

hello grapevine

good to see you
