Bike ride

 It was warm outside and the sun was out, a perfect day for a bike ride. This is our 1st bike ride not on our street. Can you see our little monkey making sure her new bike is OK?

As I look at my two monkeys I cant believe how big they are and that we are on a bike ride at the lake to the park.

 

Owen rides his bike like a pro. Emily is still learning how, she always wants to do what her big brother is doing. I know she will be riding just like Owen in no time. But for now she still needs a little help from us.

 

As we got closer to the park Owen would yell "all most Emily all most Emily" Emily would yell "I see it Owen" They are to cute for words some times.

 

We had a great time playing at the park.

As Emily runs around she yells princess.

 

 

One bike ride done but many many more to come. I cant wait!

Emily's 2rd birthday party

Our little princess has turned 2. I cant believe it. Time is going by way to fast. Our little Emily loves any thing pink and princess. I spent all last week getting ready for the party. Baking cookies, making play dough, goodies bags, backing cookies and a small cake. Cleaning the house, with 2 toddlers running around that one always takes the longest. There were a couple of late nights. When my little angles are asleep I am able to get things done.

The party turned out great. The kids had a great time so did the adults. Here are a couple of shoots of the party.

 

 

 Some of the goodies that were made for the party. My mom made the candies. I am working on some tutorials to be posted soon.

Look at that smile.

Not the best picture of me but its a cute one of Emily.

Owen really liked the frosting.

Ava loved the cupcake!!! And her Aunt Jenny for giving her one.

I just love this pic. Emily received 2 pairs of dress up shoes and her and Ava just loved them. Even warring them when eating cupcakes.

Emily trying out her new bike. Thank you Grandma and Papa

 

And of course here a couple of shots from Emily's birthday doughnut and birthday kiss.

 

We are so lucky to have great family and friends. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate our little one.

Look at what we did

Hello Happy Friday!

As a parent there are a couple of senteces when said by you kids makes you think, oh no. Yesterday Owen and Emily came running into the room and saying "look at what we did". The kids were covered in my makeup. They were so proud of themselves.  Owen said "look mom I'm a monster" Emily said "I am pretty" Thank goodness for baby wipes. Have a great day and a great weekend!

 

The camera washed out most of the makeup. But let me tell you they were coverd.

My poor Emily

I hope that everyone is having a great weekend. My little Emily is sick. She got sick a couple of time last night and as I was working on a post (the kids were napping) she got sick again. I am now rocking her back to sleep.

Emily turns 1

This past weekend my little Emily turned 1. Boy the time sure did go by fast. I will have more pictures to share with you soon. A long time family friend took some great pictures for us. Here is just one so far.
The party was great! Family and friends came from all over. Our house was full of love.

Is That Good?

Emily is getting so big so fast. She loves to feed her self. She makes a big mess. But she looks so darn cute with food all over her face. When she grows up I am sure she willl not like these pictuers as much I do.

 

 

I like how she is givng me the thumbs up.

"Its Owen""

Well today I need a fast art project to do with the kids. Owen and Emily were full of energy and looking for some thing to do. And this was all before breakfast. I wanted to do some thing different for them than just handing them paper and a couple of crayons. Owen loves to trace his hand or mine and color it in. So I taped up a long piece of paper on our sliding glass door and grabbed a couple of crayons. I had own stand with his back to the paper and tried to trace him. Trying to get a 2 year old to stay still is hard. But when he turned around he jumped up and down and said "It's Owen It's Owen" Emily even got in the fun.

I Love her little hair style

 

Emily is on a roll

Owen slept in this morning, giving Emily the opportunity to do a little
exploring without the help of her big brother. Like any little one, Emily likes to pull things apart. First on the list was a roll of paper towels then ripping apart an old magazine. I would roll the paper towels up again and she would unroll it again. Who knew what a big mess could be made by a little cute Emily.

Mud play

Emily is exploring more and more each day. So I thought it would be fun
to play in the mud today. Owen was my helper with the water. Emily
liked the feel of the mud in her hands. And yes she did try to eat it.
That is why I only have a couple of pictures. Owen loves playing with
his cars in the mud making tracks and then cleaning them off with the
hose. Soon both kids were sitting in the mud covered and covered with
mud but having fun.
Have a great weekend.

So much to do... So little time

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a good week. The Buck family is having a very busy week. This weekend we are having Owen's birthday party. So I have been working on get the house clean and goodies for the party. Sorry for the short post this week. But I have been taking a lot of pictures so I can tell you all about every thing next week.
Do you remember a birthday from your childhood that you wish you could relive? I would love to hear about it.
Emily wanted me to let you know that she is helping.

Ripping Paper

Emily has found that she likes the sound of ripping paper. And that she can rip the paper all by herself. She found my issue of Parents Magazine. She had tons of fun ripping the cover, smiles and giggles.
