Umatilla County Fair 2009

We had the chance to go spend a whole day at the fair with some good friends and had a wonderful time.  Paul is finally at an age where he is having lots of hands on fun.  He had his very first pony ride, tried on his first cowboy hat and got to pet ALOT of cool animals.  Lizzy was pretty much just along for the ride, but she was such a good baby the entire day.

My Beautiful Family!!!!

Paul trying to tickle Lizzy

I told Paul to lay down beside Lizzy so I could take their picture together and this is what came of it. I guess I need to be more specific next time. :)

Lizzy Rolled Over

It took only a month and a half for Lizzy to decide that she is independant enough to roll over on her own. I was shocked when I put her down for "tummy time" yesterday and she automatically rolled over. She had to do it a few times before I would belive that's what she had done and get the camera out to document it for all of you.

Little Lizzy!

Super Cute Baby Girl

Cousin Time

Once the birthday guests left for home, we had some really fun times hanging out with Grandma and the cousins. Grandma went and got us a special McDonalds dinner and we played in the back yard almost until the sun went down.

Trying to get a picture of all 4 cousins together was a challenge, this was the best one we could get.

"Happy" Birthday (Cont...)

Every since that day, Paul has referred to his Birthday as "Happy". That's what he calls it, but I think that's how he felt too. He had so much fun playing the rest of the day with his friends and cousins. It truely was a "Happy" day.

Well not everyone was HAPPY with the wagon ride. :)
Even Ruger got in on Birthday action

Assembly

Anyone with small children knows that it takes WAY more time to assemble the toys than it does to open them, but look at all the help that daddy has.

PREZZIES!!!

Paul's 2nd Birthday!!

Paul had a great time at his birthday this year, he had two little buddies named Matthew and Keegan come to the party, his two cousins Cassie and Katie and Grandma Hire were there too.

I found a great step by step guide on the internet of how to make this cake, I think it turned out great!!!!
