Happy 2nd Birthday!

Marley turned 2 on Thursday and we basically celebrated the whole week! And it was all Dora themed because she is in love with Dora right now! Last Sunday we had a party at the Love's, Thursday we did our own little family thing, and then today we did a party at the Wakefield's--I'm spent! She loved it though and has had lots of fun with all her new toys....so has Tate; he claims that most of them are his.. Blowing out her candles at the Love's

Sitting with all her loot...

Opening presents at home....with a little help from Tate of course

New dress up shoes!!

Riding around on her new bike, she doesn't get the pedals yet so she just scoots with her feet

Blowing out more candles at the Wakefield's

And opening more presents!! This girl got super spoiled this year. I can't believe she's already 2; I remember the day after she was born having my 28th birthday in the hospital and it was the best birthday present ever! Not to mention I got to sleep and relax and spend the day in bed:) I love sharing a birthday with this girl and can't wait to share the rest of them with her! Love you Miss Moo!!
**P.S. that means I turned 30 a few days ago, don't remind me.

Have you met our extended family?

Bet you didn't know we had eight extra members of this family! Meet Tate's four members: Blankie, Spot, Ducky, and Dog (original names, I know). Tate's had blankie since he was an infant, and over these past 4 1/2 years he's has added to his brood; I'm afraid by the time he's ten he'll have like 30 animals! But he loves them all and will not go to bed if every member is not tucked in with him.
Meet Marley's three: Blankie, Doggie, and Sheep (she won't call it a lamb). Somehow when she was tiny she found Doggie and has not let it out of her sight since. She's that kid who takes it outside to play and in the store with her. Sheep is recent, she got it from Grandma Love's house and now is completely attached.
And I'm sure you think this is an old rag....but it is my beloved blanket I've had since I was a baby! My Grandma made it when I was really little and I've slept with it every day since...30 years! It even went on my honeymoon and all family trips. Jen had to save it once when Jord and I were first married. We had taken a road trip with his family, and I had to jump out of the car because I got sick and blankie fell out. Everyone else thought it was trash but Jen knew what it was and saved it!:) You can laugh but Jord knows my blankie sleeps where I sleep.
