Well my little baby is now 2! It is heartbreaking! Anyway, we celebrated by opening presents, and making a cake. It wasn't a pretty cake but it was quite tasty!
As you see she got some blocks (She may ahve had a little help with this tower). The best part of blocks is knocking them down by the way!
We wanted to get her outside stuff because we have enough inside stuff plus we hope it will start warming up soon although I am starting to think we are going into an ICE AGE! But maybe the basketball hoop will give mother nature a hint.
She got a KICK out of us singing Happy Birthday to her as you can see. And she proved to be my first child that can actually blow out candles. No Lacey has not figured that out yet. Lacey sticks out her bottom lip when blowing and only accomplishes blowing her hair up! But Alyson got it on her first try!
Well since it was windy on Saturday we decided to buy kites. Of course once you do that the wind dies considerably! Not that that is really bad I just wish I had thought of buying kites earlier! That way maybe we wouldn't have had to sit through two bitterly (due to the wind) cold soccer games that day!
Anyway, on the way home, Aly fell asleep so she has yet to fly a kite because again today....it's snowing!!!!!!!! There is plenty of wind to go along with it but I am sure not taking them out to fly kites.
As you can see they still got them up during gusts of wind.We luckily have the perfect yard for flying kites. Emma's kite, at the top, is a fish, Lacey's is a turtle, and Aly's (not pictured) is a ladybug. The girls had fun even though it was a bit chilly.
Now see the below picture. That is today! I am considering divorce for my husband bringing me here. I think nothing will ever be green until it gets warmer. It is very pretty when my lawn turns green. Yes there is lawn.
Well Emma had her very first soccer practice today. She felt like such a big girl. She had her own "soccer shoes", shin guards, and soccer socks. She did great but you would think that with how much soccer she has been around because of Lacey she would know not to pick up the ball. But every time that the ball went the wrong way she still would pick it up to put it back where she wanted! She had a blast though even though our fingers were about to fall off because it was soooooooo cold again! Lacey's first practice for the season was on Monday and of course she di great even though it was sprinkling. Shocking that it wasn't snowing I know but the weather made up for that last night by leaving another light coating in our yard. I am very ready for this six month winter to stop!!!!
