The things you learn!

Five things I have learned from a two year old:
1. Always check pockets for green crayons before putting in the dryer.
2. Nap time always seems to come at the same time as nursery.
3. A little kiss can fix almost anything (even if you have to do it yourself).
4. Life is better if you stop and smell all the roses (not just one).
5. No one compare's to Daddy!

Thanks Lizzie for bringing so much joy and laughter into our lives. I can't imagine our world without you. Happy Birthday your so big!

Thursday was Lizzie's Birthday but we didn't celebrate it until yesterday so her dad could be there. We had so much fun playing all day long. Here are a couple highlights . . . .


Thanks everyone for the wonderful packages and cards it really made her Birthday special!

You can't get much more excited than this she is a great present opener.

A little pre-cupcake frosting there isn't much better than getting to lick the beaters.

Two candles on the cupcake this year!

Modeling her new pajamas with her balloons (thanks Lee's we love them).
A little good night kiss at the end of a long day of partying.

We decided to take some pictures on Sunday because Lizzie looked so cute. Brian convinced me to get in one and I have officially decided that Lizzie is much more photogenic than I am but I thought that I should put both pics on anyway so no mocking. It was a good day because Lizzie made it all the way through nursery without crying, I think that this is the first week she hasen't come back with red eyes. Yeah for us!

My Little Diva!

For the longest time Lizzie has been coming up with creative things to use as a purse. We have been trying to wait until her Birthday to get her a purse because it is coming up. But, Brian and yes it was his idea broke down and they went out and they picked it out together. Since then the moment we walk out the door she has to have it, along with her sunglasses. Then she has to make sure that mommy has her purse and sunglasses also. It is really cute, I honestly don't know where she came from I really think I have only bought two purses at the most in my life. She got a lot of Grammy Kari in her. Oh, and I asked her to take her finger out of her mouth for the pic so of course all of them have her finger in her mouth.

Fashion Show!

I love finding new clothes in the back of the closet that we haven't worn yet. I found these cute pj's in her closet the other day that she got for a baby shower and they are 24 months. Yeah because her last pajama's wore out and they just are no good. Grammy Kari wanted to see them so here is our fashion show, blankie and all. Can you tell that our lives are very uneventful right now, since we are posting about pajamas sorry we aren't that exciting.

Some seriouse bed head!

Cade this one is for you! I remember back in the day when I would watch my cousins we would always laugh when Cade woke up and his hair was all over the place. We would always tease that the cow had been busy licking his head all night (hence cow licks). I really think that Lizzie can beat out anybody with her great bed head. Perhaps she just rolls around all night instead of sleeping who knows but wow.
This picture doesn't even do it justice but it was the best I could do.

On a more random note I have officially decided that disney clasics will always be clasic. Lately when we go to the library Lizzie has been into getting movies like Dora the Explorer and Bob the Builder and Elmo's world. Don't get me wrong they are all great, but I prefere the classics like 101Dalmaions and Peter Pan. You just can't go wrong there I mean who doesn't want to watch Little Mermaid from time to time. They just don't make them like they used to.

Finger Paint

The other day we bought Lizzie some finger paints because she hates getting her hands dirty and this way she could get used to it and have some fun too! Well the other day she took it to the next level and decided to use it as body paint. She thought that she was so funny we were laughing right along with her!

We have been busy!

I was looking at my blog and thinking about how I really needed to post but, I didn't have a lot to write about. We have been busy doing a whole lot of nothing. Really last week we played with baby Casey who we watch during the week. We played with dad and just hung out, our lives are kind of slow right now. In the mean time I did find a cute picture of Lizzie to post and hopefully this post doesn't put you to sleep because it might put me to sleep.

I can not tell you how many times growing up when I was getting ready for bed I would run into my dad's closet and find one of his t-shirts and put it on for my pj's. I know that I am not the only kid who slept in their dad's t-shirt. The other day Brian put one of his shirts on Lizzie and it just brought back so many memories of sleeping in my dad's shirts that I had to take a picture, isn't she cute?
