Happy 2nd Birthday Magnolia!

Magnolia had the BEST 2nd birthday ever! When she woke up this morning Daddy, Boston and I headed into her room to sing her Happy Birthday. I took some time off today so I could take in a little birthday snack to her and her friends at school. Sara joined me, and we took in Maggie's favorite---TCBY and strawberries!

Maggie, a few of her friends, and Aunt Sara (Sage too) enjoying some frozen yogurt and strawberries!

Baby cousin seemed to be a bigger hit then the frozen yogurt!

Hiding from Mommy because she doesn't want to go home yet---this is typical though!

And yes, she is purple---this seems to be her color of choice for painting her body.

She finally decided she could say goodbye to her friends and head home with Mommy, with reservations though.

Looking at her "Happy Birthday" message from Mommy. She looked at it for awhile, and then told me that "birthday" has Boston's B.

"Happy Birthday to MAGGIE!"...

And the countdown begins...

This Friday my little Magnolia turns 2 years old...let the reminiscing over baby pictures begin---for on this Friday, July 23, 2010, I will officially be the mother of a 2 year old!

My Trip to Ponderosa State Park

Daddy and I joined Mommy in McCall for a little vacation since she had some work to do there. We camped at Ponderosa State Park, and we all had so much fun! Daddy and I hung out on Friday while Mommy worked---we hiked, we played, we spent quite a bit of time trying to nap, and finally I napped/passed out in my buggy after a long hike (Daddy was tired on Friday).

I LOVED the lake. I played, played, and played some more at the beach! We visited Jason and his family at their cabin on Friday evening, where I found "a really nice chair," then I proceeded to eat a whole container of blackberries, and run along the dock.

What a fun last minute trip!!!

I chased my Daddy around a really big Ponderosa Tree in our campground!

This picture really depicts how dirty I can get camping.

Did I mention I passed out in my buggy?

I got a lot of play time inside my camper.

I thought I would go ahead and taste my creation.

Not so good, but this didn't stop me from taking another bite---after awhile Mommy said I needed to be all done cause I just couldn't stop eating that play dough!

Here I am listening to some good music, feeding my baby and relaxing in my camper.

Cousins

When I saw this picture of Sage...

it really reminded me of this picture of Maggie...

It's a good thing I have a baby niece to remind me of my little baby who is about to turn 2 years old here very soon.

Love you girls!

Paint Fest 2010

I told Chris she had to send me these pictures of Maggie and her friends so I could post them. This is a perfect example of what art should be for young children---completely process oriented and exploratory. I LOVE it!
