After Party Fun

Emy Grace Turns 2

Here are some fun shots of Emy's birthday party. She was sooo in to the whole party thing this year...especially all the pretty bows! The kids decorated the dining room while she was napping, so when she woke up she climbed up to the table and started talking to her Dora plate & napkin. We love her so much and can't believe she is already TWO!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMY GRACE!

Mj the All-Star

Mitchell was chosen to participate in his league's All-Star game this weekend. He played with the best of the best, worked hard & made some new friends. The game was so exciting and came down to the wire with the East team winning by 1 point. Eventhough MJ's team lost he was thrilled to be chosen to play and was even awarded an awesome basketball dog tag with his name & jersey number engraved on it.

Visit to Snip-Its!

Today Emy Grace & I had a "spa day" at the local Snip-Its Salon. It was our first "official" hair cut & Emy was in heaven with the unlimited suckers, bubbles, toys & music. She even got her hair styled & glitter sprayed!

New Things....New Places

Emy Grace has entered in to the "discovery" phase and wakes up each morning with a quest to find something new to play with. I suppose the toys, etc.. are old hat which is fine with the exception that Mom (aka...ME) has to watch her like a HAWK!! I've never had a 2 year old with the fine motor skills of a surgeon! She can untwist nail polish, open makeup bottles, flip the tops off shampoo, turn the tightest medicine bottles & figure out how ANYTHING works & operates!

Here's just a few tame examples of her latest discoveries.....

"I've learned how to not only UNDRESS, but how to take off my diaper, climb in mom's basket of towels & PEE!!"

"Hmmmm...what is this cool thing? I think I know! It's the machine that eats up all my cookies & crackers I smash in the carpet! Cool!"


(Notice the snowboots she has on...no matter what shoes we put on for the day and no matter where I hide these snowboots, by mid-morning Emy has found them and put them on)
