i Can't believe she's 2!

How time fly's.

 It's hard to believe that only 2 years ago you were born and so tiny in my arms.

This is you today

So full of spunk; you crack me up.

You found these stickers and came out w/them on your face

and said "look look, clown!" Yes you are baby doll.

Today's stats for this big 2 year old girl is

27.6 lbs (65 percentile for weight)

35in (90 percentile for height)

Thank god you got your daddy's height and not my short stubs ;)

Last Friday was Your Second Bday,

It was a quite one,

 but you got an extra special surprise that day,

we were in Payson and You my Dear woke up to snow!

In fact when we pulled up the blinds you danced around and said,

"Look, look, what is that, look look!"

our reply, "It's snow"

You then ran to the door and screamed,

"YEAH SNOW!!! OUTSIDE? PLEEEEEEEASE!!!"

You had sooo much fun playing outside, sledding, building snowmen (and tearing them apart!), we couldn't hardly keep you inside to open presents and have cake.

You are just growing up way to fast, whats a mom to do?

Girls trip to the Zoo

So Its Charlie's long work week which means he works Saturday. I planned a girls trip out to keep the house quite so Daddy could sleep! Kaitlyn and I went to the zoo and made a day of it; packing a lunch along and everything. We had sooo much fun. We got to do a couple new things like

1: See the New Komodo Dragons! Very Cool!!!

(sorry I didn't get a photo of the 2nd one- He's bigger, but I couldn't get a good shot)

2. Feed the Giraffe's
Thanks to our ranger for taking these awesome pictures for us!
(HA, something funny to add- So after Kaitlyn gave the Giraffe her treats she kept trying to eat Katie's little pigtail, I guess they do kinda look like little tuffs of hay- It was too funny.)

3. Ride the Carousel

(For what ever reason the short video clip won't load! SORRY, its too cute though she is squealing, and giggling the whole time!)

I hope next time we can go with some family and or friends, but even just the two of us was a perfect outing!

CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!!!

Things we did for Xmas

Sorry It's been a busy time of year and I haven't had the chance to post unitl now. Sooo Christmas HOW FUN this year. We had family parties the weekend before xmas and it was nice being able to spend time with everyone! We went to see the Temple lights as a family and it was a good time by all.

Xmas eve Charlie, Lynne and I took Katie bug to ZOO LIGHTS! TOO much fun

So Christmas rolls around and its a good day;Typical  morning parents up early and the kiddo slept in, and of course she didn't wake up all that happy, Guess she needed more sleep! But once she opened her stocking she was more interested in the presents under the tree, and soon was ALL OVER IT! Including mommy and daddy's. It was a good day.

The Saturday after Xmas we ventured to Christopher Creek for the day and took Kaitln Sledding for the 1st time! Oh my did she love running up that hill and sliding back down, over and over. It was a hoot watching her trying to make snow balls and snow angels too! I love this age, so much fun to watch her learn and grow!
