Happy 2nd Birthday Adrielle Rose!!!

Wow Wow Wow! I can't believe you are already 2, but I also can barely remember what life was like before your sweet self was added into our family! You are such a little joy…Here are some things you are doing at 2 years old.

~You can count to 10 (with a little help)
~You can handle your self around rough play
~You adore your brother and often mimic him (doing good and bad)
~When you are really upset you cry and cover your mouth
~You are __________in tall and weigh __________lbs
~You say so many words now I can't keep track!
~One of your funnest phrases…"Star Wars Movie Night!!!"
~You know several Star Wars characters including, Vader, Leia (Anna), Yoda (Yola), Darth Mal, Queen Amadala (lala),
~Other Cute phrase…When we ask you where something is, you say "Oh, (Mama, Daddy, or Jutus) Have it"
~You like to pray and actually include names in-between some mumbles
~You know several songs and sing them so sweet
~You love getting into things (Makeup, hand sanitizer, lotion, essential oils) quite mischievous!

For your 2nd birthday, we didn't do a party. Instead, on the 31st we took you and Justus to the Live Oak Pumpkin Patch, bought you a $10 unlimited jump pass, and you guys Jumped and Jumped on all the bouncers for 2 hours!!! You guys had a blast. Justus was dressed as Darth Vader and you were Yoda-Girl. Your best buddy Elliott even came and played. You were extremely brave and managed to go on the biggest slide there (the Tiger slide) I was so impressed on how well you got around on all the jumpers and slides. You are one tough and brave little girl!!!! Justus was also a good brother and took care of you and helped you. On the 1st, your actual birthday, we played at home, watched some of frozen, took naps, and waited for daddy to come home (He had to work a 1/2 day) Mommy, Daddy and Justus all blew up balloons, and when you woke up from nap, we came in and threw them all around singing Happy Birthday. You loved it. Then we gave you a couple gifts. Justus gave you Elsa and Anna Necklaces, and Mommy and Daddy got you a Frozen Anna Animation Doll from Disneyland. You liked the gifts, but didn't show your usual excitement. Thats ok. :)  Then we went to Gami's to unload a box truck for Scarlet Threads. We then took you and Justus to Wal-Mart to pick out some things to make up some Operation Christmas boxes for kids in other countries who don't have much of anything. Justus did fine, but I think you only being 2, had a hard time. We picked out a little baby doll and you were pretty upset that you didn't get to keep it. Poor thing! You just got a much sought after "Anna doll" for your birthday, but had a fit about the $4 Wal-mart baby doll. LOL! If I had known it would've caused so much heart ache, I would've waited another year to do the Operation Christmas Child with you. I'm sorry!!!! We came home, had some dinner, then gave you your yummy pumpkin muffin with a birthday candle. We sang Happy Birthday again and you loved it. You loved blowing out the candle, so of course we had to do it a couple more times. We plan on getting Disneyland Passes in January and that will be your birthday party all year! We love you Sweet Adrielle and are so blessed to have you part of our family! Happy 2nd Birthday!!!

Making Memories 2014

We decided that we were going to try and make 2014 a year of memories!!! Doing some fun stuff as a family. One of the local things we decided to try, was the children's museum in Hemet. The kids had a lot of fun! Justus especially liked the trash truck exhibit. It was amazing scaled down to kid size. So so cute!!!!
