Turning 2 :)

 Today, July 31st, is Owen's 2nd Birthday.  We had a party for him yesterday at the splash pad.  It was so fun and great weather!  This is how it went:

Music note cupcakes to go with the guitar cupcake cake.

Cupcake cake made by mom, frosted by Corina and mom.  Couldn't have done it that good on my own ;)

The mastermind with the birthday boy

Singing Happy Birthday to himself...so cute

YUMMY!!!

Some of the friends...wouldn't be a party without them!

After his party we came home and started on my Aunts cake.  Corina  taught me how to do a rose and this was my very first ever rose.  Pretty good if you ask me!

Cake for my Aunts 65th.  I baked,  Corina decorated all!! She is awesome!

The girls gift to Owen was a train set.  He hasn't stopped playing with it.  Thanks Eliza for the idea!! :)

??Wondering??

I wonder if I post these just for me or if anyone really looks at them.  Just this one time if you look on here leave me a message so that I know if I should keep it up.  Thanks :)

Summer So Far ~

So far this summer we have just been swimming and spending lots of time outside...when it's sunny.  I'm just going to put the pix and explain as I go. Enjoy! 

Nellie and Samantha both have only ever had one swimming lesson and this summer they are both doing great!! Samantha loves it way more than Nellie though...

...as you can tell ;)  This is where Nellie likes to be.

Among the many things Owen is learning how to do, he has figured out how to open nail polish.  This is a whole bottle of white that I had to remove with half a bottle of acetone!

The girls' school had a fair so we went.  There were hardly any people there so it was great!  Free everything except for $5 helmets.  This is Owen's fish.

I think Owen would be ok being a fireman. He LOVED it!!

Hopefully the last time Nellie and Owen sit in the back of a cop car!
