Another Year Older!!!

I know I have been MIA again! I need to update about the  holidays and get better about posting on a regular basis, but I have been trying to start the New Year off the right way and get everything organized and cleaned up. Also, been working on Tax stuff so we aren't last minute this year and getting things started for Anna's 3rd Birthday in February and speaking of Birthday's...mine and my twin sister's was yesterday!!!

As my husband comes into our bedroom yesterday morning and leaned down and gave me a kiss and told me Happy Birthday, yeah your thinking aww, it was followed with DO YOU FEEL OLD (giggle, giggle)??? My response was "I felt OLD before today, but THANKS for asking!" I think after you hit 18 and then 21 B-Day's just don't seem to really matter much or that is just kinda how I feel at least. Just another day and a year closer to 30!!! I really don't think I am old and don't really feel old (Usually), but for some reason this year with my younger brother turning 21 in December and my twin sister and I turning 29 yesterday it just feels like we are all getting old. Maybe it is just the whole 21 and almost 30 thing...I don't know.

Anyways, I had a good day!!! My lovely husband let me sleep in and I took advantage of it and slept until 10. I haven't slept in that late for I don't know how long and it felt nice! After getting up Anna and I hung out in our jammies most of the day and was just lazy, then around 5 we got around to go eat. I had my B-Day coupon from Red Robin so we went and ate supper and had a nice evening! We have a gift card for Red Lobster that I think that Bob and I are going to use this weekend. We talked about it last night, but decided Red Robin was more kid friendly, not that Anna doesn't like Red Lobster the few times that she has ate there, but that would give us a date night seeing how we haven't had one in a few months! So all in all I had a nice relaxing Birthday!

Making no promises but hopefully I will be back shortly with updates of our Holidays. Hope everyone is having a Happy New Year!!!

2nd Birthday Party!!!

We had DD's 2nd Birthday party on Febuary 21, 2009! It was a cow theme...if you know DD then you understand! She can name different breeds of cows, tell you what kinda of cows we have, which are Black Angus Cows, name heifers (heipers), steers, bull, bull with papers (can't say registered very good), and you get the point! She loves helping with the cows and anything to do with cows, so it was only appropriate to have a cow birthday party and let me say finding just cow stuff is harder than you think. I happened to find a couple of sights on the internet for the decorations and I made the invitations and the cakes! I also found a site for her shirt and had it designed! So, here are a few pictures from her party!

Her is pictures of DD's cakes-sheet cake is white and the cow cake is chocolate, invitations, and the decorations! The table that has the inflatable cow on it had a white table cloth with birthday confetti on it with the cow in the center, but I didn't get a picture of it while it was decorated.

These are pictures of her gifts! I think DD did very well and she loves playing with every one of them. Thank you everybody!!!

After her party we went out with a couple of friends that came to the party and ate supper...Mexican food! Mexican is one of DD's favorites especially dipping the chips in the salsa. After supper we went buy and picked up the picnic table that Aunt M got her and came home and of course when we got home DD insisted on having the picnic table set up and even tried it out!

It was a very good day and I think everyone had fun! I know we did and DD enjoyed playing with all her friends and new toys! Again, I would like to thank everyone and Happy 2nd Birthday DD!!!

Our Little Girl turned 2!!!

Yesterday, February 26, 2009 DD turned 2!!! It doesn't seem like she should be 2 already...how time flies! Before you know it she will be going to school...I don't even want to think about that right now. We have already been seeing some TERRIBLE TWO's for awhile now, but it just seems like there is a little more attitude with it now...lol!

We had her birthday party last Saturday, February 21, 2009!!! I will post more on it shortly! For her actual birthday yesterday we went over and had lunch at Grammy's with Uncle M and Aunt E and had Biscuits and Sausage Gravy and after lunch Uncle M, Daddy, and DD went out to feed Uncle M's "heipers". DD doesn't let Uncle M slack on feeding his heifers. I think every time we are over there DD will say "M, go feed heipers or cows"!

After they got done feeding the heifers Daddy and Uncle M went back out to work on fence down at the pasture and DD and I went to the zoo!!! It was a pretty nice day out. It was like 61 and slightly breezy, but not terrible especially for Ks!

We took DD's new wagon that we got her for her birthday and she loved it! The last few times we have went to the zoo DD would sit in her stroller, but there is some stuff she just can't see without getting out and then once she is out then she wants to walk and to hold her hand and push the stroller at the same time is just a pain. Also, I noticed when she is out of the stroller she seems to socialize and interact more.

She rode for awhile and then she decided she wanted to get out and pull the wagon herself. She told me "Sara, you stop" and would move my hand off of the handle and she would walk up to one of the exhibits look for a minute and then grab the wagon and say "Sara, come on"! For those of you who don't know DD started calling me S when she first started talking. She said "mommy" at first, but within a week or two I was "Sara". Don't know why for sure...I guess because everyone else calls me Sara!!! She goes back and forth, depends on her mood or if she wants something...lol!!!

When we were coming out of the Gorilla exhibit and getting ready to cross the bridge I asked her if she wanted to take a picture with the gorilla statues and she told me "No, I fine! Lets go" but later she pet the bear statue! See that's what I mean about the Attitude, but it was really quite cute!

Here are a few pictures of DD on the cow in the petting zoo. She was all about it until she realized the head moves and then she was afraid she would fall.

During supper last night when Daddy asked her about the zoo DD said "Fun", "See Monkeys, See Monkeys at the Zoo" and then proceeded to tell him all the animals that she saw! All in all I think she had a pretty good birthday. She kept going around and saying "Happy, Happy Birthday" and asked after supper last night "cake, Birthday cake"! I told her that we already had her cake! She got up this morning and said "Happy Birthday", so now she thinks everyday is her birthday!!!
