Look at them go!!!

5 min of showing him how to pedal and he got it!  Let me just warn you turn down the volume or please ignore my annoying voice.  Just one of those mom voices.....sorry!

Katie took 2 times with Ben helping her and the 3rd time she did it!!!!  She never use to like to ride her bike.  Now she is asking every morning to go out for a bike ride.  She gets the biggest smile on her face everytime she gets on the bike.



Love for Minnie....

Ana absolutely adores Minnie Mouse so of course we had to do her birthday theme as that!!!!

So off to search Pinterest for some amazing ideas.  Now some we found were so amazing I just didn't have the time or patience to do it but I did get some done and I love how it turned out!

I did all the lettering with my cricut!  Love that thing!!!!

So these were styrofoam balls spray painted and then toothpicked together :)

We love our Nacho/Taco bar for parties.....

I really wish we could get one good picture with the birthday girl...oh well : (

Katie loves this gift more than Ana I think....she loves pulling Ana around

Caleb and Papa throwing grass up in the air.  He thought it was the funniest thing ever.

Nathan catching some sun!

This says it all!!!  A great exhausting day.  I was cleaning up and walked back into the livingroom to find the birthday girl fast asleep on the chair!  Happy Birthday Ana. 

My baby is 2!

This is late but better late then never in my book!

Our sweet Analeigh turned 2 on April 16th.  She is our little spitfire and has been since before she was born.

I am not a good pregnant woman.  By about my 33rd week I am begging the drs to do whatever they can so that when the clock strikes midnight and I am 37 weeks my water will break and I can have this baby.  Well by the 3rd child my drs know me.  They know I will beg, cry, do what I need to get them to help me along.  With Ana they offered to try and induce me at 39 weeks since I was measuring over 40 weeks.  I was so excited!  So in we go....well little miss spitfire decided that nope, no way was she coming yet.  My induction failed.  They sent me home.  Now I never even knew this could happen.  I remember going into the dr for my regular check up 4 days later on Tues.  She walks in and say so how are you doing???????  I couldn't even get out words just tears and PLEASE GET HER OUT OF ME!!!  So they agreed to induce again in a couple days.  Well let me just say I walked in looked at the dr and said I am not leaving this time so do what you need to and let's get this done.  Once the contractions were starting and my water broke I was in heaven.  I love love LOVE the actual labor and delivery part of pregnancies.  I would do it a million times over if I could (and yes to all of you wondering I have done it completely natural)

I will never forget reaching down and helping pull her up for everyone to see.

Analeigh Rose you have given to us more happiness than we could ever have asked for.  You are pure sunshine. 

Thank you Ana for your laughter, spunkiness, joy and love you dish out to everyone you meet.   We love you!!!

Birthday pictures coming soon!
