Katie's car

Thank you Grandma Russell for Katie's Target gift card- she picked out the perfect toy! The day after her birthday (yes, we went to Target with a bashed eye), I took the girls to Target so Katie could spend her gift card from her Grandma Russell in Virginia. Katie picked out several things: baby doll, barbie stuff, stroller... but then she found something just her style- an adorable retro wooden car. I showed it to her and told her she could put her "baby bo" in it (baby bo is what she calls her little purple care bear with antlers that she got for Christmas 2 years ago and is inseparable from it). That made the choice easy. She had to have it. The thing weighs like 10 pounds because it was built like they used to make toys- super sturdy. So the moral of the story is that she takes her car everywhere with her. It is hilarious. She sleeps with it, and carries it up and down the stairs all day, even though it's half her body weight. Here are some cute pics of the car in it's daily routine... Thanks Grandma!

Katie Turned TWO!

So Here is her "Purple" cake that she requested. I did it the easy way (bought a white bakery cake, sprayed it with purple cake spray paint, put lots of purple sugar sprinkles on it and some Dora cake toppers. Yeah, I could have made it, but I love Bakery Cakes! I don't know what it is, but there is something magical about loads of crisco and sugar and maybe just a hint of somesort of unknown addictive ingredient...

Katie opening presents (Tea set, pretend microwave and cash register, and some pretend food)... and yes she did bash her face in on her birthday.

Katie and her "Purple" cake. She wants everything to be Purple (which is perfect since Lucy is my Pink girl).

What a love... I had these taken for fathers day (and no relative I don't hate you... I only bought 1 copy since they're pricey... so I need to get some prints done)
Cutie Pa-tutie! It's so crazy how much they change. Remember when Katie had brown hair? And now she has blonde pigtails (and a sweet mullet before she gets her hair done!). Katie is such a love. She has a sassy personality and makes sure that we know that everything is "mine". She has calls Lucy "Doody". Tells me to "Go Mom" at all the red lights in town. And woke up every morning and would even say in her sleep "Baby Poo" which meant the baby pool at 7 peaks (which we went to a lot).

I cannot believe that my baby turned two on Monday! (I think she accidently still thinks she's a baby since she still wants me to carry her all around the house). Time flies when your having fun! Two years ago I was in Queen's Hospital in Honolulu and now I'm in good ole' Provo going to Cafe Rio and Super Target.
