Look how tall these two little gals are.

 Char had a great time at the pumpkin farm and it didn't take her long to figure out that she was suppossed to pick up pumpkins and put them in our wagon so she went to town doing just that! What a great way to spend some of her second birthday!

two year old birthday party!

 Charlee's birthday started out great. We snuck in her room on Friday night and covered the floor with balloons. She loved waking up to them all over her floor and then we came in and put them all in her bed with her as we sung her happy birthday. That is when she decided this birthday thing wasn't going to be so bad. After we got up we went for Pancakes a favorite meal of Charlee's and she had a great time!

We then headed to Mimi and Grandpa's for the annual trip to the pumpkin farm. I will post about that next.

After the trip we headed home and Charlee took a quick nap, its like she knew that fun stuff was about to happen. She woke up to a new bouncy house for her to jump in for her birthday and she loved it. We jumped in it several times and it was a big hit at the birthday party with Austin and Colton as well.

Charlee had a Dora party and did a great job with the candles.

Birthday morning fun!

ballons do a number on your hair!

Charlee got this hat from Grandma Mary, its so cute!

Charlee and her buddy colton. She had a great time at her party and when everyone went to leave she stood at the door and cried. She didn't want the fun to end.

Charlee got a purple sponge ball that she loved to sit on and bounce on. 

First and last

Lately Charlee has been starting the day out with this question..

"Where is Sisi"

and at night when you put her to bed she ends the day with this question...

"Where is Sisi"

Love how much these two little ladies love each other!

California Girl

It stinks to be short.. it seems like everything was just a little to tall for char so she spent most of the day in someone arms.. of course she didn't mind getting carried as long as we were going right where she wanted to go:)

Z and char checking out the helicopter in an exhibit at the zoo.

Z was the flower girl and char loved the flowers. They did a great job of sharing the flowers.

We went to California this weekend for Andrea's wedding. Char has been to the beach one other time but she was much younger so really this was her first time.. she wasn't real sure what to do but once she learned that you can wash the sand off in the ocean.. she LOVED it! She loved building sand castles and playing in the sand and she even enjoyed the waves if someone was holding her of course! She did have a hard time figuring out why they were called waves.. wave is something you do when you say good bye:)

We were in San Diego so of course we had to go to the zoo!!! This is us on the sky ride.. So much fun and of course char wasn't scared all.. she wanted to sit on the top safety rail.. of course I wasn't having that!

Z, Char and Jake all buried me in the sand.. do you see that yellow bucket by char.. she was busy with that dumping sand time and time again.. she loved the sand!

Apple Orchard

Char and Ayden being silly at the central apple orchard by Ames.. we had a great time playing in the mother goose village!

Char at the park one morning! She loves playing with the big kids!

Char and Jake going down the big slide at the apple orchard.. Char had a great time and wasn't scared at all!

Little pig little pig let me in.. char had so much fun running from house to house.. they were just her size!

I wanted to take a picture of char and Z and of course Char really didn't like that idea.. so she wouldn't look at me:)

After the apple orchard we went to Hickory Park (a restaurant) for dinner, so it was late on the way home. The other kids fell asleep but not Char. She was busy singing songs and saying "ready, set..... GO" over and over and over again. I love her spunk!
