my slide

Relay for Life

On G's actual birthday we woke her with a new present. She uses anything and everything she can find, where ever we go and makes a slide so we thought that would be an appropriate gift. She hadn't even torn off the sheet covering it when she proclaimed "My slide!" at the top of her little 2 yr old voice. She loves it and plays all the time. We went to breakfast and ate, yes you guessed it, BACON. We love bacon at our house and G has been known to sneak a stool over to the plate and have her share and then some before even getting noticed. I must have asked G what she wanted for her birthday 20 times that week and she just kept saying "PURPLE". (That has become her fav color.) So we made purple cupcakes with purple frosting and purple sprinkles. She loves that I give her the beater when I make yummies now. We spent the afternoon/evening/half the night with the Beach crew at the Relay for life for my brother Derek. Derek is fighting cancer with his second round of chemo and radiation. This is only our second year but its a great opp to spend time with the family and raise some money. Keep the smiles!

Gwen's big day

Gwen turned 2!!

I still cant believe that G has turned 2?!?! How is this possible? I was just pregnant, in the hospital, learning how to care for my own little girl and now...potty training, alphabet drills, swimming lessons. How did time go by so quickly? We had fun for the day. We took a little hike and had pizza and cupcakes at the peter piper, then games of course and silly token prizes all for her. It was a lot of fun. Happy Birthday Big Girl! Many more years to figure out how we got so lucky to have you be a part of our family.
