Our summer so far

Aileah and Daddy went swimming.  Third times a charm... she loved it!  I got kicked out of the pool area cuz I was in my street clothes.  Dumb rec rules! 

She couldn't decide which was more fun( with the fish or without).

We went to Orem Summerfest.  Aileah sat in a firetruck, a helicopter, and an ambulance.  She was in heaven!

She loved the rides at the carnival.  Especially the inflated slide. She would have stayed there all day, if we'd have let her.
Mean Mom and Dad!

We ended the night with the fireworks display.  Aileah loved it!

Happy Birthday!!!!

 My baby turned two yesterday!  I know... it is hard to believe!  Last year I failed as a Mom and didn't really do anything for her birthday.  I decided to go all out this year.  I was incredibly stressed about the party (well really the cake) but it seemed to have turned out really well.  I decided to try to be crafty. I made most of the decorations for the party.  I am grateful to all who came to celebrate with us!  Isn't she adorable?!

One of the 7 tissue paper pom poms I made.

The cake that caused me so much stress.

She was not interested in opening gifts....

she'd much rather be swinging! She didn't eat any cake either, she was too busy sliding!

Here she is trying out one of her gifts from Mom and Dad.  Doesn't she look so grown up?

Daddy and I love you very much, Aileah!  I am so grateful that I get to be your Mom.  I pray that I can be a better mom for you!  Thanks for being such a funny, sweet, happy girl!  Happy 2nd Birthday, Baby!
