Lucy Jane is 2!

Lucy turned 2 a couple of weeks ago & we had a really fun birthday weekend.  I am so thankful for all the friends & family that joined us to celebrate this sweet little girl, she is blessed to have so many people that love her.

Aunt Bekah & Uncle Ty came a day early to help with party planning & to see Lucy.  THANK YOU, thank you to Bekah & Tyler for coming early & helping so much.  They brought their dog & she immediately became Lucy's bff.

 Bekah & Lucy painting some party favors.

Now to the actual party.  We had a butterfly themed party this year & I was excited how everything turned out.  I love a good theme party & am always excited to plan one ;)

Butterfly cake!

Cupcakes

 Butterfly chocolate pretzels - Bekah made these

Best family picture we could get before the party, Lucy is totally not into pictures these days & it makes me sad.

Party favors

Butterfly hunt with some of her besties.  I am totally regretting not getting a group picture of all her sweet friends that were there.  A few of them I didn't get in any pics at all...bummer.

Happy Birthday to you...

Here she is showing off some of the things that she got for her birthday.  Since she got the kitchen a few people gave her lots of kitchen accessories & it was such a hit.  She loves the apron & oven mitt & has definitely been spotted a few times "cooking' with her purse & of course she has to be wearing someone else's shoes (she has a thing for big shoes).


 She got a set of golf clubs from Grandma & Papa & she loves them.  Uncle Kyle is helping her figure out her swing.

Sunday was her actual Birthday so she got to have her traditional pumpkin pancake, shaped in a 2!


Finally caught her sweet smile on camera!!!  Many thanks to Grammy & new Dora doll for the great smile.

Happy Birthday Lucy Jane!  You have brought so much joy into our lives & I look forward to spending everyday with you & watching you learn & grown.  You are a sweet girl who loves being around family & friends.  You live for play dates with Emma & Graham & with grandparents & aunts & uncles.

Here are a few of your favorite things to do/say/eat lately:
*Everything you see you ask, "what that?" You are so curious!
*You are in LOVE with Dora & request to watch a "Dida chow" (Dora show) often.  You have seen "Dora gets a Puppy" about 50,000 times because it's the only show on our i-touch & you watch it everytime we go to a sporting even at least 3 times & we go to a lot of sporting events.
*You love when "gurls & guys" (high school girls & guys) come over to our house.  At first you are shy but then you get super crazy.
* You love going to school & on the way to school you always say these things "I go schoooool.  No push.  I nice"  
*You randomly love celery, anything sweet, yogurt, fruit, & cheese.
* You can count to 12 & to 5 in Spanish & you are doing really well in recognizing letters.
* You always remind us to pray before meals & bed. I hope this habit continues.
* You love to "pay boll" (play ball) wear your clack, clacks (dress up shoes), cook, & read books.

We love you so much Lucy Jane.  I wish I could stop time because this is such a fun stage but I know there will be lots of fun things & some not so fun things about 2 & 3.
