Happy Birthday to me!

Today I turned 2! Mom and Dad can't believe that I am two years old already! Even though my party is this weekend, I got to open some presents today and Mom even made me cupcakes (and I got to pick out what color frosting I wanted)! It was a fun day, but I'm super excited for my party this weekend!

Laundry Day!

I love helping Mom with the laundry.  I help her put stuff into the washer and dryer and also help her empty laundry baskets...

Happy Birthday Amber!

Mom and I took Amber and Kinley out to breakfast for Amber's birthday... (we were a few days late, but Mom says it's good when birthdays last longer than just one day!) We went to the Circular at the Hotel and had super yummy food.  Kinley and I decided that we would be good during breakfast so that Mom and Amber could enjoy themselves; because we were good, we got to walk around the hotel and explore after we ate.  We really just liked sitting together on the bench :) Hope you had a happy birthday, Amber!

We never cause trouble together... 

"What do you think... should we both look at the camera?"

Norway!

The Olympics have been on recently and mom, dad and I have been watching a lot of them! Daddy tells me to cheer for norway, and mom says to cheer for Sweden and Finland. I like Norway...

I kept stealing Daddy's hat...

Mom had another skating competition this weekend, and Daddy had to work all weekend, so I got to hang out with Mom all day!! I got to watch practice early in the morning, go to a team breakfast after, hang out with Mom's teammates, help Mom volunteer, and play with Mom's skaters (they gave me LOTS of snacks and I kept stealing their stuff so they would chase me... they read lots of books with me and also played with me... it was pretty awesome... I was filthy afterward - Daddy wasn't too happy, but I had fun!).  I didn't see anyone compete because Daddy came to get me after work, but I heard they did really well!

Reading with Janice -- we read lots of books!

I wouldn't let Mom put my pants on after she changed my diaper, but I eventually let Janice do it... :)

Sam had a kindle like Mommy's! 

Mom's skaters got 1st! 

Mom's team got 1st too! 

Getting their medals! 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Daddy got me my first rose for Valentine's Day! I wasn't quite sure what it was at first...

ooooo... pretty!

Do I play with it?

Can I eat it? 

ooohhh... I smell it!

it smells pretty! 

Mommy's roses smell nice, too!

Mom and Dad also got me an Elmo cupcake... it was awesome!!! 

Good thing it was bath night!! 

Easterns

Mom competed and coached at the Synchro Eastern Championships.  It was a multi-day event that was held in Hershey this year.  All of her teams had good skates and her OJ team came in 6 out of 31 and her Adult team came in 3rd out of 16! She was really happy with how the competition went!

Because she was so busy skating and coaching, Gram came down to watch me for a few days.  We had lots of fun together and spent lots of time at the rink!! I even learned the word "Zamboni!"

Hanging at the rink... waiting to watch skating!
