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".

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.

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.

July update

 July has been a busy month for us.
                                                Where to start...

Jason did some Geo ducking.(Not sure if that's what it is called.)

Leah did not get scared of the geoduck.

Learning how to shoot a bow.

Hunting season starts soon.

Enjoying the weather! After a long weekend. Leah spent some time with both Grandmas

over the weekend as mommy was busy helping Megs with her wedding. Which turned out so Beautiful. Wish I had some pictures to share.

Trying to nap!

Playing in the pool.

Eating outside.

And Last but not least.... 

I made for my very first time Raspberry Jam.

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Plan on making Blueberry Jam from the berries we will get tomorrow.

Along with applesauce and maybe pears and peaches.

                 

Our new member...

Meet Tiny Red!

His is about 8 weeks old.

He is a lovable little guy.

He life goal is to catch mice and whatever else comes into the garage.

We got him today from the same family my parents got their cats from a year ago this month.

He is a purebred barn kitty. 

He even puts up with Leah who is learning how to hold him without squeezing him.

She loves him so much she cried when it was bedtime.

I can honestly say I never thought we would have a cat since I am not much of a cat person but I should do love this little guy.

Quick update

It's been busy around here since daddy got home from his bear hunt in Alaska. He got a very nice black bear. She has been staying up later then she should to watch baseball with daddy. Reading books. Doing her chores feeding the pigs and chickens. Counting the eggs as we put them in the basket.

Leah's 1st dilly bar!! She loved every bite of it. Just today I found some chocolate hiding.

Here she is giving me the look of "No Mommy" I am not ready to go inside for bed.

We have been potty training. It is going Good!! She tells us when she has to go. When not wearing a diaper and sometimes will tell us she has to go with one on. I think her favorite part about going potty on the big girl potty is looking at it and then flushing "bye bye".
