Birthday Girl...TWO!!!!

Franki turned TWO!!! And she was so absolutely proud to be two. She celebrated all weekend and was very eager to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY and TWO!! Shouting both from the roof tops! She was absolutely the happiest two year old around. We celebrated as any two year old would with baloons, cake, family, friends, presents and more presents and all Minnie themed! We thank our family and friends for all the wonderful company and all the wonderful. And we couldnt be happier to spend the whole weekend together as a family. We have been so blessed and full in life because of this sassy, sweet, spunky loveable little gal! This has been by far the best two years of our life and we cant thank Franki enough for all the laughs and memories that she has provided to us for the last two years. I love you my sweet girl and I can wait to celebrate another year with you!

We have a five month old rice eating, always giggling, and sitting up all by herself five month old.

We also have a two year old aspiring to be a nurse. Isnt she cute, she listens to your heart and tells you lub, dub, lub dub. Already so smart!

Summer Lovin'

Summer is exactly what has happened to us and our lack of blogging as of lately. It has been hot and in full summer fashion we have been living up every moment lately. Swimming, sprinklers, family and friends multiplied by 1000. We go to our local swimming pool at least 2 times per week if not more. Franki is so brave and loves swimming. She loves to jump in the water. She loves playing with buckets and cups of water and occasionally going down the little kid slides. She even goes up the ladder all by herself to get out of the water. Addi is our little trooper, she hangs out in our stroller or in her car seat with her toys and usually falls asleep  for her morning nap. So Franki and I get a little bit of one on one time in the pool and she really loves that. (next summer might be a little more difficult with two brave swimmers in the water :)). We also have been doing the usual summer fun, staying out late swapping normal routines for staying out playing with friends, going to bed a little dirtier than usual since most days include several popsicles maybe a cookie or two, sticky sweet fruit, markers, pain, dirt and whatever else we get our hands on. Franki is going to be two in a little over two weeks. Scary that my baby is growing up so fast! She is a little sassy pants two year old lately too. The most loveable thing ever really. She is bossy, persistent, lovey, talkative, and more talkative. This girl talks all day long, sometimes you understand her sometimes you dont, but God love her she can talk. Never a dull moment from this girl. She repeats everything we say. She has to do everything anyone is doing around her, example, we go to the bathroom she go "potty too Mama, potty too" water too mama, water too, etc. Working on potty training and likely will start in full force around her birthday. She likes to show us how fast things are by moving her arms without actually running and it is quite entertaining. She has two new neighbor girlfriends that she just loves hanging out with. Every afternoon after her nap she wants me to go over the there house and "knock knock posie" a.k.a go ring or knock on Sophie's door. She continues to hold up two fingers but says she is going to be three and apparently the only person attending her party is Kathy! Since whenever you ask her about her party she sas Kathy is coming. So much I could tell you about this girl. But mostly she is just loving summer just as much as her momma. So forgive us if we are having too much fun to blog more or blog often! Addi is currently almost five months. Rolling all over my house, sitting up with just a little bit of support and continuing to lighten our lives even more with her ocean baby blue eyes, toothless grin, and full bodied giggle. She is loving all the summer attention from Nana and she loves watching all the action we have going on. She tried rice cereal for the first time and was soo ready for it. I was going to wait but felt like she was ready and this girl was straight up attacking the spoon. Up next apples and carrots (again all home made baby food). I love providing for these two beauties all that I can.

On other news Tyler got a wonderful promotion. We have been so blessed in 2012. He will be traveling a bit more which of course will leave us missing him, but it is a great oppotunity for him and will definitely make a difference for our family as a whole. We are so proud of him. We dont have all the details yet but we will soon and Ill post more when we know. For now cheers to Ty on moving on up!

Pictures to come soon, we just got a new camera!
