Happy Birthday Sweet girl...

I can't even tell you how much I love this girl! It is so much fun watching her turn into a little person. She loves:
sugar
kitties
doggies
chicken noodle soup
baths
baby dolls
bubbles
being wrapped like a burrito at bed time
putting clothes on
going for walks
pinecones, bugs and rocks
playing at the park
getting potty treats

What were you doing 2 years ago?

This is what we were doing!! Welcoming Little Miss Willow into the world! Here's a peek back...

Willow's silly cake...

Call me cheap, but I refuse to spend $ 20.00 on a cake. I always make cupcakes, but today after General Conference, we decided to make one for little Miss Muffet. Trav had to leave for the Priesthood session, so we have yet to eat it or sing happy Birthday to Willow- but tomorrow is another day, right? And thank goodness because today has been one of those days I seriously contemplated running away for a month by myself!
Happy Birthday Willow!

Canning is complete...

Canning was done a little bit ago, but I still had a few apples and peaches lingering around and because didn't want them to go to waste- I canned 7 more quarts of applesauce and sliced & froze bags of peaches. I think I am offically done, it's always so bitter sweet. I look forward to it all year, it comes, it's fun and wild and crazy and exhausting and messy and wonderful and time consuming yet so worth it. It's amazing how much your feet can ache too!

Guess who's 2...

Somehow our baby girl grew up. It's crazy to think it was 2 years ago already!

Discovery Center...

After confrences & my chiropractor app on thursday, I took the kids to the Science Center and they LOVED IT! They earned passes from their Summer reading program and i got in free too, so it was a great activity that didn't cost a cent. It was great to watch Tristin- it was totally up his alley- and I couldn't keep Willow out of the giant bubble making station. it was a fun afternoon but I was tired when we were done. Just trying to keep track of everyone was exhausting!
