May 2012 Pt 2 - Jaina's 2nd Birthday

My baby turned 2 on May 28th! I can't believe that she's that big! We celebrated on the 27th at Mana's house.

Aunt Karri made her a Winnie the Pooh cake :)

 

She was so sweet while opening her presents. She kept saying 'that's so cute'!

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was also Memorial Day weekend, so we visited my Dad's grave.

 

And my Grandpa's grave.

 

My Grandpa John F Ramey served in the military, so they had a flag with his name on it.  The kids always have fun searching for it. 

 

Then we headed to Grandma & Grandpa Tolman's house for more presents. 

 

She loves her Grandma 

 

And Grandpa

 

 

And Uncle Morri 

 

 

On her actual birthday! New outfit and new toys! 

 

 

She loves to be outside, so we got her a water table to play with in the backyard. 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Little One!

May 2012 Pt 1

I got some cute fabric with Ariel on it! It was already smocked, so it turned into a quick skirt and dress for the girls.

 

Jaina helped me fold laundry, but her way was to put on Mara's clothes. She got really frustrated when she couldn't get them off. 

 

And we got our first PIGGIES!!!!

Now she can finally start to look like a girl! 

 

Jaina loves to change Minnie Mouse's diaper!

It's so fun when they start to mimic and pretend. 

 

We visited Grandma Tolman for Mother's Day! 

 

I love this picture! 

 

 

We played at the park during a few of Xander's baseball games. 

 

 

She's such a sweet girl (when she wants to be) 

 

Mara graduated Kindergarten!!! 

 

Mara & one of her best friends Livvy Greer. 

 

Mara & Mrs. Hyer 

 

The boys went to a Fathers & Sons activity, so I took the girls to get some ice cream at Arctic Circle!

 YUMMY 

 

 

 

 

We have a TON of static in our house and it made Mara's hair go CrAzY!!! 

 

The kids and I started watching Doctor Who.

We LOVE it and are officially Whovians!

Xander drew a picture of the Tardis :) 

 

Grandma Joan's 83rd birthday! 

 

 

 

 

Xander finished 2nd Grade

Mrs. Blunck & Xander 

 

The kids decorated a box for Jaina to play in!

She put it on and immediately said 'rawr'!! 

 

 

Xander and his awesome draw bridge!

He has such a great imagination and can build anything out of Legos.

 

The bridge can even be raised for oncoming boats to pass! 

 

 I love how kids fall asleep in the car!

 

We headed to the cabin for the first time this year!

We love this place SO much! 

 

It even snowed a bit!
