Lilly's 2nd Birthday

Wow...how time flies!!! Lilly turned 2 on August 15th, and she had a busy birthday weekend. On Saturday (her actual birthday) we went to the fire station to see Tim. He and the guys went and got Lilly an Elmo ice cream cake. It was SO good!

Tim and I gave Lilly her gift at the fire station...

She was excited to get her own digital camera.

Every time we're at the fire station Lilly has to get in the trucks and play. She likes when Daddy turns the lights on...but isn't so sure about the siren and horn. It's a little too loud, especially in the truck bay.We made our rounds that day...lots of people to see. At Granny and Gramps' house she got an awesome Elmo sticker book.

She even picked a few tomatoes with Granny...

Then we went to Grandpa D. and Grandma Sus's house. She got a bunch of clothes...I think Grandpa was more excited than she was!

Lilly and Kaylie had fun playing around...and enjoyed dancing to the "Happy Birthday" turtle. I love this video...Lilly is singing, and Kaylie is dancing...or making herself sick spinning.

Gotta love the hair after the pony tail comes out...

Lilly's birthday party was on Sunday and she had a new outfit...

Her party was at a place called My Gym Children's fitness center. There is all kinds of fun stuff for kids to do. They get to sing, dance, play games, climb, spin, play in the ball pit, and ride on the zip line. Lilly had 15 of her friends come, and they all had a blast. There were about a million pictures from the party, but here are a few...

This is my favorite picture...DANCING!!!! Riley is groovin' behind Lilly!

Here's Karis free fallin' into the ball pit...NO FEAR!!!
Everyone seemed to love the ball pit.

Before we had cake there was a little parade while everyone sang happy birthday to Lilly. She just sat in the wagon not sure what to think about all the attention.

Cake time...

Here's the birthday song and Lilly blowing the candles out...

Mmmmmmm.....frosting....

After the party we went back to John and Debbie's for pizza and presents.

Lilly loved all her gifts...especially the clothes!!!

Family Reunion

This last weekend we had our family reunion in Winter Park at the YMCA-Snow Mountain Ranch. I'll post more pics of the family when I get them from my parents, but here are the pictures I took with my camera when Tim and I went mountain biking.

We biked on a beautiful trail, but unfortunately most of the trees in the area are dead because of the pine beetle. The grass, flowers, aspen trees, and what was left of the pine trees were awesome though. The YMCA up there said that 80-90% of their trees are dead because of the pine beetle. So sad.

We're dorks, and took a picture of the trail head sign. :)

Here are a few pictures that show how many trees in the area have had to be cut down or are dead.

The big building in the background is the lodge we stayed in. We could see it from one of the trails we rode on.

Same building, but a view from the backside on another trail we rode on.

Here's the main building at the YMCA. I just think the background is so pretty!

On our bike ride we stopped at a really pretty lake....

My parents put Lilly down for a nap while we were gone, and when I got back this is what I found...I guess she didn't want her diaper on.

She's going to kill me for that some day!!!!

Here's Lilly hanging out with my mom's cousin's kids. She thought she was such a big girl hanging out with older kids. :)

More pictures to come....
