Michael's 2nd Birthday

Michael's Two

Our little boy turns 2 today.  He sure is growing up fast.

We love you baby boy- even though you're not a baby anymore.

What gets this boy up?

Usually when Michael wakes up he'll yell for me to come get him.  I go to lift him out of his crib and he'll lay back down.  He likes to tease you see.  So I tease him back and walk out, waiting for the yell of "Mama" again.  This morning though I had a secret weapon.  When he layed back down I told him we were having waffles for breakfast.  I've never seen him so excited to have breakfast.   Last night was his first time having waffles and he sure enjoyed them.

   Happy to be up and eating waffles for breakfast!

I guess whip cream is the latest hand cream.

This is our forecast for the day:

Any suggestions for fun things to do on a rainy day?

Hey do you see that up there?  If you're not on my blog you should check it out. I got a cute new header thanks to Karrie at Fistful of Coupons.  I won a custom blog header from one of her giveaways.  I love it don't you?  Thanks Karrie!

Our trip home

Michael and I were able to make it to the fair Friday evening with my mom and my sister.  We walked around and let Michael enjoy the animals. We of course couldn't leave without buying greasy fair food!  We chose a double corn dog and a strawberry funnel cake.  Mmm yum. 

Michael enjoyed watching this ride of course because it had flags on top.

Michael's allergies started to get the best of him.  He had red eyes and a runny/itchy nose.  I was having a hard time with my allergies as well. 

My Grandma McClellan's funeral went really well and it was nice to see lots of family we hadn't seen in a while.  It was fun to hear stories I'd never heard about my grandma even though some were repeated to grandchildren over and over again. I guess I always missed out on those stories.  One of them was about how my grandma was outside her home and had gotten bit by a dog on the rear.  She went to the Dr. and he said, "So you've been bitten by a dog?"  She said, "Yes".  He asked, "Can you tell me where?"  She said, "On 3rd and Jefferson."  Which of course was her address. 

Joe kept an eye on Michael at the funeral.  He seemed to keep busy.

While we were in WA McKenzie had his Eagle Court of Honor.  It was nice to be able to attend.

Congrats Kenzie!

Our trip home wouldn't be complete without some fresh picked raspberries!
