Just something about this backpack!

Lauren has her favorite blanket and has to have it with her all the time. She has decided she needs her backpack all the time also!! She sleeps with the thing! She will put all sorts of little things in it and play with them from time to time.

Thought I would share these pics I took today. Notice the backpack is on her 4-wheeler!! lol! The last picture she had to have all of the balls she owns in the wagon. Let me tell you it took some time to get them all in there and her too! One kept falling out!!

Finally found the right class!

We have had 3 trial classes at gymnastics! Today we finally found the right one for us! Lauren had a really good time and she is actually getting the hang of it!! I only had to chase her down once!! And she made friends with all the other little girls and even gave one a hug and a kiss! My only worry is the coach is new and I had to ask her a few times on what the heck I was to be doing in order to help Lauren learn!! I guess it will come to the both of us soon.

Mother's Day Weekend

It was a really nice weekend. Lauren and Jon got me some flowers and cards. What was cute was Jon said well I wanted to bring them in this was Saturday night b/c I didn't want them to die outside. Well I said I hope I don't kill them right away. He smiles and says well you won't have to worry about that. He bought fake flowers!! What is bad is he didn't mean to! He didnt realize they were fake until he had already bought them. LOL!! That is my husband for you!

The little artist!

Lauren got some fingerpaints for her birthday so we tried them out on Monday. Here are some pics of her making a masterpiece!!

Lauren is 2 today!!

Wow! What a two years it has been. I thought I was the happiest I could ever be when I married Jon but then here comes this little miracle and the happy meter is off the charts! I have never smiled so much in much life as I have these past two years. You would think seeing Lauren everyday I would get where I don't want to stare at her all the time but it just isnt happening and I don't think I ever will. She amazes me everyday! And to watch Jon and her together just brings tears to my eyes sometimes. It is so wild how she is has so much of us both in her and then here comes this own personlity of her own. It is so great to watch and be apart of. I am so proud to be Lauren's mommy!

Lauren fingerpainted for the first time today and at first she didn't want to get dirty!! lol! But when I showed her how to do it she really liked it! She kept wanting more paint on the paper!! I will post a pic of my little artist later!!

A trip to the Zoo!!

Jon and I took Lauren to the zoo today. She loved it!! She actually wanted to see the animals and would name the ones she knew. She had to ride the carousel also! She saw it and went crazy!! lol!

The Big Birthday Party!!!

We had Lauren's 2nd birthday party today. She had so much fun! The weather was for the most part perfect. Breezy and a bit chilly but no rain! She has a ton of new toys, clothes, books, and puzzles!! A new favorite she decided on very quickly was the water guns that Ashley and Kincaide got her. Daddy, Lauren and Addy had a ball with them! Although Lauren had just as much fun squirting herself and drinking from the water gun!! lol! She got her first motorized 4-wheeler! She seems to be following in her Daddy's nickname Crash!! The swingset Jon and I got her all the kids enjoyed that today. Lauren was so exicted when she saw it this morning!! She wanted a cupcake since she saw me making them and she inhaled her cupcake today and she is wanting another one as I type!! lol! She also wanted to open presents since last night! She tore right into them!! It was a great day with lots of fun!! I will post pics in a few!!
