Arlee had a birthday shout HOORAY!

Here are some pictures from Arlee's 2nd birthday!

On Arlee's birthday we invited a couple people to Jungle Jims. The following came: My mom, Kasiah, Brock, Amy, Landon, Laura, Jon, Gage and of course me, Arlee and Hans. Here are some of the moments that the kids had.

 2nd car: Arlee, Brock and Kasiah (the favorite ride for Arlee I think.)

Arlee being the cow girl that she is on the merry go round. Me too! Giddy up: )

 We just did simple cup cakes for Arlee's birthday since Kali was making her a cake. Plus they are a whole lot easier to do for little kids.

 Jon and Gage (Laura didn't want to be in the picture)

 Amy and Landon

 Brock showing off his tash!

 Hans and Arlee (the frosting could have been lighter to not stain their clothes, but it has been noted for other affairs.)

 Arlee and Gage (Arlee saying Vroom Vroom Mommy!)

 Okay this was actually really funny. Brock was riding the bumper cars and he thinks that you just drive them and not run into anyone. The other kids had a different look at it.  As you can see here, brock is pretty upset. This happened again and again and... again. Each time he would upset, but he wanted to keep riding them. I guess you could say the lesson was not learned, but it was sure funny for all that was watching. HAHAHAHAHAhahahhahahhahah aaaaaa!

Arlee and Gage. At first, Gage was not liking the idea of the rides, but when we were about ready to leave he wanted to ride... figures! Just joking. It was a lot of fun seeing him and Arlee riding together.

This is the Woody that we gave Arlee for her birthday. She loves watching Toy Story 3 so it was a huge hit. I actually got the idea from my nephew, Jayden. He has a Woody just like this one.  Come with the pull string and an interactive hat. When you take off the hat it says some different phrases like "Where did my hat go?" "A cowboy with out a hat is like a yoodle with out a hey-he-oo." Arlee loves the last comment and it is so funny to hear her say it. When you put his hat back on: "You found my hat! Thank you, thank you... THANK YOU!"

The day after her birthday (26th) we took Arlee to the Living Planet Aquarium for the 1st time. Here are some of the pictures.

 As most 2 year olds... Arlee was pretty excited to see the NEMO fish from another popular movie

 She loved looking at this huge turtle as well, but didn't think of CRUSH off of Nemo. : P Also in this tank there were some sharks that would swim right next to the glass. They kept surprising me and Arlee as we were usually looking at something else.

Arlee saw this fish (NEMO) and tried ripping it off to take it with us. We told her it was stuck and she had to leave it there. 

 Family picture. They really captured Arlee's favorite past time. haha

Here are some pictures of my side. Arlee's birthday party.

 The Jessie cake that my little sister Kali made for Arlee. Arlee loves Jessie and Woody as you may be able to tell.

 Kali and Arlee (I didn't get a good picture of them both, but I figure Kali would care more if she was the one not looking her best.)

Arlee cheesing it up. LOVE IT!

Arlee tried grabbing the candle after not being able to blow it out and WAAAALAAAAA!

Hans ended up blowing it out. (she did blow the cup cake one out though) I was sitting with her so this didn't happen, but I was toooooo tooo too late. Darn it.

Other than that it was generally a happy birthday experience for her.

Happy Birthday Cakes!

Love,

MOM

Happy Birthday Bug!

Love,

DAD
