I know it’s been a long time since I blogged so part of my evening tonight is catching up with everyone on how our family is doing!!! Life has been crazy as any mom knows regardless of how many children you have. I’m thankful for my health and the ability to chase after these little munchkins at such a fast pace but I want to try and enjoy them at this stage as well. Having said that here are a few memorable moments with my beautiful eldest daughter as she continues to grow from toddlerhood to little girl.

This picture was on her birthday when Uncle Tim decided to show her how funny it would be to try and fit the plastic hamburger in her mouth. Needless to say Uncle Tim could get the whole thing in his mouth and still have room but little Lanae could only get it in this far. It’s pretty good for a 2 year old. I guess it’s just a good indication of what we might have in store in a few years.

This is one of the beautiful gifts Lanae received. A very sweet red jacket, one I’m sure will be remembered for years to come.

For those who know Lanae, you know how much she loves shoes so I decided to make a shoe cake for her birthday. I had so much fun decorating it and then watching her reaction to it.

Here she is trying to blow out the candles. It took a few tries and many encouraging words from the rest of the party animals but she finally managed to blow it out herself.

And of course how every little girl feels when she’s full of sugar and received way too many gifts and really just needs to head to bed. Thank goodness for granddads who are willing to put up with a few tears.
