Playing Catch up!

In April

For easter Leah got a swing set from all her grandparents, daddy, and mommy.

She is still learning how to get up on the swing by herself.

She has mastered the stairs.

She loves the sand box too.

She is in love with it.

We had piglets born the first week of April. That was a lot of fun learning and helping Moma Red give birth.

We spent Jason's big 3-0 at Harstene Island.

I didn't get many pictures. This is one from dinner with grandpa Kevin

In May!

Mommy's day and Grandma's birthday was spent with Grandma. Jason did dirt for her.

Leah and I played and hung out.

In June!

We have been spenting what summer days we have been having outdoors.

Leah loves water.

Leah got a bug catching kit from Grandma Meyer.

She loves worms.

Can't you believe she is 2 1/2 years old? I can't!

Same with Daddys day I have been forgetting to take pictures I promise I will try harder this summer.

She made daddy a very special printing.

Stay turned for more pictures of our first crabbing of the season.

WoW! Time it flying around here!

Well I will update with pictures and try to keep to short in case we loss power again for the third time in 24hrs.

Leah on Christmas morning.

Sorry for a poor picture no coffee yet still sleepy.

Taking it for a spin around the house before opening the rest of what Santa left.

Getting ready for the next holiday already!

How cute is she?

Leah has not been napping since before Christmas and when she does this is

where you will find her. In her closet.

Jan Snow/Ice Storm.

Leah is loving the snow but LOVING the Hot coco after to warm up!

She even said this is her favorite part of snow.

So deep she is having trouble playing.

Building a fort to hide behind for our family snowball fight.

This morning we woke up to ice everywhere. these tree are in the back yard.

Praying they don't fall on our house or the neighbors.

So today we (mommy and Leah)  stayed inside while Daddy takes care of falling trees and branches, pigs and chickens.

Hope everyone is staying safe and warm in this crazy winter blast of snow and ice.

As I post this our power is on and our living room is 81.... 81 WoW can I say I am ready for Summer.

Glad this only happens once a year.

Happy 2nd Birthday Leah!

The morning of Leah's birthday she woke up ready to up present and party.

We let her open just a faw in the morning. After breakfast and Mickey mouse Clubhouse she went deer hunting with daddy for a couple hours so mommy had some time to finish up the cake and cupcake and get the house ready.

One quick present before everyone got here.

MM sings "Hot Dog".

Leah doing the hot dog dance.

My mickey and minnie cupcakes.

Leah's minnie mouse cake.

Our sweet 2yr old!

New baby.

She could not wait for cake.

Everyone singing to her.

Leah you are such a big girl.

35in tall (90%)

27lbs (90%)

You amaze us everyday with what you learn.

You are sooo smart.

We can't believe that our little girl is now 2.

Daddy and Mommy love more then anything in the world.

As you grow older and wiser you will always be our little girl.

Hope you had a wonderful 2nd birthday a little girl could have.

Bed Buds

This is where I found Red the other night.

As such as Red doesn't care for Leah sometimes when Leah is pulling her ears, sticking fingers in her eyes, trying to ride her like a horse. Red sure did miss her little girl.

Pumpkin patch

Spooner Farms

Picking out her pumpkins.

Her two but had to get daddy two too.

Can you tell someone was not too happy at first.

Then a little racing the wheelbarrow made her happy.

Little face paint will cheer her up too.

Mommy and Leah picture.

Maybe next year daddy will come with us.

He is taking time out of his busy schedule to carve pumpkins with his lil girl.

moving up

Helping daddy finish putting trim up that was started over 2 yr ago.

Leah is now moved  into her big girl room. It is taking time but she is getting closer to sleeping in her

big girl bed most nights. Naps not happen much. Hoping we can get back to normal once daddy is home from hunting. Having him gone throws her and myself off.

Her bed is located on the other side of the room with a cute handmade rail Jason made.

As we prepare for Leah's 2nd Birthday it makes me very sad that our little girl is getting to big to fast.
