Bug's Picnic Party

Yes! This post is LATE. Yet again I have done a very bad job in keeping this blog updated, there are so many reasons. However one of the reasons, is not because I forget - it more that life here has been slightly busy.

So... FINALLY, I am going to update you all a little.

Bug celebrated her 6th birthday recently, it is really hard to believe how time flies. It is amazing to think how 6 years have flown by and my little girl is not only turning 6, but will be going to Kindergarten (open house was on her actual birthday)...

 

In thinking about what Bug likes, we decided to go with a Picnic theme party for her because she loves eating watermelon and going swimming.

 

I somehow got the idea to make a watermelon picnic basket to hold the watermelon in.

Needless to say we invited some friends over to enjoy the swimming pool with her.

 

Here are all her friends enjoying a picnic with her. BBQ chicken, potato chips, watermelon and Soda Pop. Every chance Bug gets she loves to ask for soda, lol! Chicken and potato chips are some of her favorite foods too, she has come a long way in trying/eating new foods in the past year.

Of course no party is complete without cake and ice cream...

I decided with all the little ones and the kids, to bake the cake mix into cupcakes and then frost them into little watermelons. Figured that it would cut down on the mess and you can't fight over who gets a bigger piece of cake etc...

Bug really loved it when all her friend's sang "Happy Birthday" to her. She loves to sing that song, even when it is NOT her birthday.

 

This little one didn't really care of the ice cream much, but she approves of the watermelon cupcakes, lol!

Happy Birthday, Bug. We love you!

2 Years Old

It's hard to think, but my little baby boy turned 2 on Friday May 27th. It's hard to think that he is already 2 years old. Seems like just yesterday he was just a little baby...

It was only just about a year ago we moved from VA to PA and J Dude was about a year old at the time...

Just today he went for his 2 year well baby check up. He weighs in at 30lbs 12oz which has him in the 80th% for weight, Height is 33.5" which has him at 25th% and his head measures at 20.5 which puts him in 95th%...

He got to have some friends over on his Birthday to help him eat some cake and ice cream!

J Dude loves to eat Green Beans, he also likes Strawberry Milk. He loves to play in the water, but hates taking a bath to get clean. You can however convince him to take showers, but the soap is a little questionable to him...

Oh and lets not forget that he is an excellent climber...

He totally climbed up there on HIS OWN with NO HELP! I don't think he thought about what he was going to do with himself once he got up there...

Needless to say, we are ready for the adventure from 2 - 3.
