And My Baby Turned 2!!!

Life has been absolutely crazy the last two months and so my plan for April is to slow down a bit.
In February I was honored and blessed to be a part of my good friend, Rachel's wedding.

Me and the gorgeous bride.

Her wedding was beautiful and I could see that she married a great guy (and he for sure scored with an amazing wife)!

And then our little Katie AKA Tigger turned 2 this month on the 18th. I just can't believe how the past 2 years have flown by. It usually rains when I plan a party so I decided not to plan one this year; it rained anyway. So Katie got a party weekend with Saturday night spent at my parent's home with my side of the family, and Sunday afternoon was spent at my in-law's. It was really nice to have a low-key weekend.

 The cake my mom made for her :)

Kisses with daddy

This was taken while we were singing happy birthday to her and she has since sung hapy birthday to herself each day.

After she opened presents, Katie decided it was time to get the party started and so she proceeded to fling tissue paper everywhere and Allie and her cousin, Cason joined in on the fun!

These two sisters really love eachother; it is so precious.

I was reading to Katie last week out of a little children's Bible and it was the story of Moses and when I turned to the next page it looked like this:

And before I could say anything Katie threw her arms up high and exclaimed "surprise!" I got a good laugh out of it and then laughed again with Josh when I shared the story with him later.

Allie has been keeping me busy with all of her "why?" questions and with how just plain smart she is. We have been doing preschool work at home and she is doing really well with writing her letters.

 Josh took her to the park last week and she learned to ride her bike without training wheels. She had been asking to learn after seeing a friend do it. We both though she wasn't quite ready but she was determined to do it and so she did. Allie feels more comfortable turning right so she is only comfortable riding in open spaces. This girl just amazes me and has me terrified of her impending teenage years. The other day I was suggesting a different pair of shoes and she very calmly stated "Mom, I've got this under control." Seriously, she thinks she is 10 instead of 4!

And I couldn't resist one last picture of me and Tigger :)

Happy Wednesday!
