Lizzie's 2nd Birthday

We had a "Finding Nemo" theme for Elizabeth's 2nd birthday on June 29th. It was lots of fun and Lizzie really enjoyed her special day. My mom and grandma made some yummy mexican food and we had the party at Todd's parents' house in Fremont. His sister, Kristin made an AWESOME Nemo cake and it was delicious! Check out her blog: http://www.kristinannbeck.blogspot.com/ His other sister Jana provided the beautiful photography from the day. I have one pic so far, but her blog is also worth checking out! http://www.janalaurene.blogspot.com/

This party was over a month ago, and still if you ask Liz about her birthday party, she replies "bam, bam (while swatting her hand).......CANDY(while jumping up and down)" Her pinata was the most memorable part, apparently. Pretty cute.

The Pathetic Blogger

You know you are a pathetic blogger when people have to hack into your account and update it because dust is actually starting to form over your layout.  Gosh, I am so horrible!  Then you have the people who you can tell that rather than sharing their lives on their blog, blogging actually IS their life.  Well I would like to find a nice middle ground. I know time management is a huge issue with me these days, but I really would like to be better about posting new info and pics every now and then.  Say, every two weeks or so.  Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you. 

guest blogger...

dear heidi,

i hope you don't mind me hacking into your blog, i'm just really good at remembering things like passwords. i'm sorry you can't download pictures onto your computer, and therefore you are a stinky blogger. But since you happen to be one of my favorite sisters-in-law, and i probably have just about as many pictures of lizzie as you do, i thought i would sneak on and post one of the most recent that i've taken. i wanted a cute picture of her holding the painting i did for her - what do you think? if she looks tired, it's because she just woke up from her nap. but i still think she's the cutest.

well that's all. let me know if you want me to guest post again - i have plenty more pictures where that came from.

love you guys,
jana

family pictures.

i just thought i would share a few of the pictures my fabulous sister-in-law took for our christmas cards this year.

we hope you all had a wonderful christmas!

Halloween!

So we didn't have much of a Halloween this year because Lizzie was sick with a cough. Luckily, we went to a Halloween party at my uncle's house a couple weeks before so she was able to wear her cute angel costume. She also had an alligator costume that Todd bought her. Pictures of that are coming soon!

Huskies!

I am so proud of our Huskies! They beat Logan on Friday night (first time in 10 years) which earned them a spot in the play-offs as well as guaranteed them first in league! Can't believe I missed it, but Lizzie was sick with a cough. These coaches have put in so many hours preparing for their team and the players have really pulled together to become a success! Homecoming Friday and Todd's cousin Ashley Hess is up for Homecoming Queen! This has been an exciting season and we now look forward to play-offs!!

Lizzie got a taste of some kind of candy which turned her tongue blue! She thought it was cool.
