She's 2 years old!

Happy Birthday to my sweet girl! We have been so blessed to have such a sweet girl. She was our miracle baby and continues to wow us with her smarts, her personality, and her friendliness to everyone. We were all planned and ready to celebrate at a local park, but when the 27th rolled around it was rainy and windy. I tried not to admit it, but it was true we had to either cancel the party or host it at our house. So we hosted it at our house. We may not have the largest living room, but it was just big enough for our 20+ guests to fit snugly in.

This was Hannah's birthday sign we colored together- see the hand prints & the scribbling.

These glasses were one of the gifts she got. She loves to wear sunglasses!

Here's a friend of hers- Hannah wore her princess dress

All the kids got to decorate their own cupcakes with frosting, sprinkles, and m&ms

I hand made her birthday invites. I think they turned out very cute!

I provided treats, but only the kids ate them, so we had plenty of extras

These are cute photos I couldn't pass up. Look at that cute smile!

Pucker up and give me a big kiss

Hannah loves her kitty, piggy, doggy, froggy- she loves her animals.

growing up!

This morning I turned on Sesame street for Hannah to watch. She loves Elmo's World. While she was waiting for it to come on they had a segment where they played the alphabet one letter at a time, I caught Hannah saying the the letters as they said them. It was so cute. The hard ones, like "Q" she didn't say, but she said most of the other ones. I was so proud of her.

Fun with friends!

HEre a bunch of us went to the Oakland zoo and had a great time

Sarah and Ammon together

Hannah and her good friend, Ethan. They have fun together!

Hannah and I at one of our favorite restaurants, Chipolte. Hannah loves the Casadias. I love the soft tacos and Paris love the bowl.

Hannah and Ethan together, Hannah likes to eat Ethan's snacks.

Lastly, Hannah loves to play in the laundry basket with and without the clothes in it. I prefer without the clothes so I don't have to refold them. Here she is, what a cute smile.

Our trip to Arizona

I've come to the sad fact that my daughter does not adjust to traveling or staying in new places like her mom does. It's not that she doesn't enjoy seeing new places, but when it comes to disrupting her nap time, then there is hell to pay. She gets thrown off and the next couple days are spent trying to get back, but by that time we are finished with our stay and were ready to travel back home.

These are the happy times we had in Arizona, but unfortunately, we have some very stressful times as well, which threw the trip for everyone involved. Sorry Grandma about hearing the crying and trying to tear your house apart. It's hard to visit relative that is close to 90 and lives a quiet life.

HEre we are in her backyard, does it look like Arizona or what!

Grandma H, Leslie and Hannah all together

Hannah gets nervous and starts playing with her teeth

Grandma has a backyard full of rocks, Hannah favorite thing to play with. She played there couple times a day. Here she is so very happy to be amongst so many rocks.

Fox Happenings

This month has flown by and it's already the middle of March. Here are a few things that we have been up to. Sorry about now updating sooner. I have been putting it off to try to get other things done, but got tired of looking at the same picture and finally decided to put new pictures up.

Yes, you've been caught! How big does this pile need to get before it heads to the laundry basket?

Our almost 2 year old, she likes to pose and smile for pictures which makes it so much easier to try to get a good picture.
Just Mommy and me. She was so smily I couldn't resist posting this one.
Hannah has been making new friends, here is Ammon sitting with Hannah for a second.yb;;h

The many words of Hannah

My little buddy, we do everything together ( even if I don't want to) The other morning when I was putting my contacts in and Hannah started pointing to her eye and said "I too, I too" I told her that this just for mom. She got mad and walked away, but came back like 2 seconds later.

Hannah loves her baby she got for Christmas and here she is laying in her baby's crib cuddling. This morning she said after only being up for 2 hours, "baby's tired, baby's tired" which translates to Hannah's tired. At first I thought that is nice that she was saying sentences, but she says that right before she goes to bed and any other time she is tired.

Christmas Eve and Santa!
