Look At Me, I'm Two!

The day has come and gone...but we are still celebrating! Birthdays in this family are never just one day it seems like:) Addison June Michael turned the bug number 2 yesterday on June 3rd. Addison woke up to her favorite breakfast of hootenanny pancakes or as she calls them "hoop-aps-anys". The weather was a little on the chilly side, but Addison still enjoyed having some friends over for a party. She had a snow cone and pool party. We set up a sprinkler and two little baby pools with lots of water toys. I made some sidewalk paint with turned out to be the highlight of the party. All the kids including Addison had about 3 snow cones with added to the color of their already blue lips! Dave has Mondays off which worked out perfectly for him to man the snow cone station. After playing around we had a lunch which consisted of pb&J, goldfish, watermelon and juice boxes. We put a candle in Addison's sandwich and everyone sang her favorite song to her. She was very giggly and excited until we told her to blow out the candle(the wind kept blowing it out!). All of Addison's friends were very thoughtful to bring her little gifts. She kept trying to give them back as her friends were leaving. Her guest list consisted of Alexis Kunz, Kamea & Kalie Quinn, Cole Richards, Will Smith and Sofia Lee. It was a great party and everyone was sent home with a balloon and bubbles as a thank you. After everyone left and nap time was over Addison opened a helmet and a bike seat from Dave and I. Her helmet has big kitty ears and a nose on it. She was pretty excited and loved riding behind her dad. I got the bright idea to tag along...I am regretting it today. Six month pregnant woman aren't meant to ride bikes! We ended the day by going to Red Robin were Addison was sung to again and then got a giant ice cream sundae all to herself! Grandma Michael is coming into town today so we are waiting to do cupcakes and presents with her. 

We are so grateful for this past year that we have had watching Addison grown into the little lady that she is. She has a strong personality for such a small girl! She tells you what she wants and when she wants it, but at the end of the day she still wants her daddy to rock her for a few minutes. Happy Birthday Addison!!!
