She has been waiting for her Birthday for the past three weeks, ever since I sent out the invites. I made one for her and she had me read it to her at least once a day if not twice. When I would read the part about "food, beverages, cake and ice cream will be served" she would ask me "go?" as in where did it go...which I would then explain to her that it was not made yet and her party would take place in a few weeks, days... Obviously it didn't sink in because she was asking me about it everyday, so glad she was so excited for HER birthday party.

Enjoying the party.

Opening gifts,

Her cake,just like the one my mom made for me on my second birthday!

Thank you to everyone for making her day so special.

August...

For only being two she is so great at sitting still long enough for me to braid her hair!

August was so hot that we only got out for short periods in the morning,most of the time during Ezra's morning nap...but sometimes it stayed cool long enough for him to join us.

It is so neat having a quick camera, check out the library card. Ezra was eating the card until he decided to join us singing Pat-A-Cake

Using Madilyn's hat to get ready for football season, until we find one for him.

He has been reaching for the faucet for awhile and I thought that it was clean enough for him to go into today, and he loved it.

Cowboy Breakfast...

I am sure it is known as other things but this is what I know as a Cowboy Breakfast...

1) Start to fry an egg, salt and pepper

2) Butter bread (I prefer white)

3) Cutout hole in center ( a shot glass works perfect)

4)Once egg is ready to be flipped place bread over egg with yoke in the hole

5) Flip egg with bread

6) Flip back to original side and cook a little bit longer

7) Serve, hopefully the yoke is still a bit runny!

It had been at least ten years since I at one but the other day when I was talking to my sister this simple breakfast was brought up. The only problem was that neither one of us could remember exactly how to make it. After a call to my Dad and a reminder of the exact steps I was able to make it. Now after ten years I have had it four times in the past three weeks. Mmmmm!

Number two...

Yesterday it officially became known to everyone that Cody and I are expecting number two. I am already 10 weeks along but I wanted to wait to tell my mom until her 50th birthday, so yesterday we put Madilyn in a "Big Sister" shirt that I made and waited until the message was seen..

Great timing on Cody's part, I don't think we could have gotten a better picture. I am sure you can read more about it here.

Oma with all of her grandkids

Madilyn with her new favorite toy, what kid doesn't love balloons?

First Vacation

Madilyn's First Vacation was a trip to my Oma and Opa's in Peteluma California for her Oma's 50th Birthday Celebration over Memorial weekend. Although, I don't have any photos of it Madilyn was a perfect baby on the airplane. I was so relieved not to be that person. Here are some photos of our activities.

First time in the pool...she loved the water!
