This is for you Mom, do I look ready???

This is Anna's first 2nd birthday party! We had 8 kiddos at our house and 5 Mama's. The carebear theme was a hit! Finger painting and slides were so much fun! It is so amazing to see Anna's growth in the past 2 years! She is so beautiful; our precious gift from God!

Sunday our Fun Family Day!

Today, November 9th, we went out to the dairy, Anna loves to see the cows! She loves to name the cows, Dadda cow, Mommy cow, Ina cow and Papa cow! For those of you that do not know Anna calls herself Ina and she prefers us to call her that too! After the dairy we went to the Irvine park and the OC Zoo! What a variety of animals all in one day -- it sure was a fun day but we are all EXHAUSTED!

Halloween 2008!

Anna wore her special halloween dress all day on October 31st! It looked really cute and festive! Daddy came home from work early, we had supper and it was time to dress up -- a lady bug she was. THE CUTEST LADY BUG EVER! We went to Dan and Valerie's house for a short visit then back home to our neighborhood to go trick or treating. We went to 15 houses then Mommy decided that she had enough candy; we all know who is really eating the candy!!!

Pumpkin Patch!

It seems like the weeks go by so fast these days -- or always! We are so happy to be in a house, everything about it has been wonderful. Especially the yard, and washer dryer -- the downfall is that there is more to clean -- Mom can you come back to help me??? The floor is just so much cleaner when Grandma Frieda is here -- imagine that?? Anyways, we took Anna to see a dairy this past weekend -- now that she knows to say moo when she sees a picture of a cow, we thought that we should show her a real life one. She was not scared at all, just sad that they would not eat the hay out of her hands! We also took her to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach -- she is not scared of sting rays or baby sharks -- she put her hand right into the tank. (A tank that allows touching of course -- Justin and I both wouldn't put our hands in but little no fear did! As you can tell Anna knows sports lots of cute hair dos and bows -- Mama loves to dress up her real life dolly!

Anna loves to dress up!

What a sense of style our girl has! She loves bathing suits and her wings! She is such a joy to us!

Papa & Grandma Visit!

Anna had so much when Papa and Grandma came to visit! They played so much she had take little naps on them! How cute! You sure have the touch Dad and Mom! We love you so much!

Anna loves her new backyard!

Anna has been playing outside everyday since we moved into the new house. She loves to puch her baby stroller around, play with her pink ball and go down her slide! She keeps herself so busy!
