Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24

Kathryn's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Ryn's birthday at my sister's, along with Tim, Marc, and Nana's. Although, a 2 year old tends to steal the show! Ryn was thrilled to see Daddy after a week and they spent quite a bit of time playing together.
My friend, Kelli, and her family joined us. It turned out to be quite the day. Or, as Joey would say, "Mom, I told you, this is WAY more than dinner." (Kelli tried to convey to him on the way over it was more of a bbq than a regular "kid birthday", since Ryn is only 2.) My niece had planned a carnival of games, but the weather messed with her plans. The kids ended up having a raffle (which somehow was called a "garage sale", maybe since it was in the garage), water balloon fights, egg tosses, huckleberry hunting, and s'mores on the fire.
The girls did a quick fashion show in Jen's prom dresses from the 80's!
Joey was helping the men take apart a pallet for firewood.


A picture of Kelli's and my boys- took awhile to get all 4 together!


Ryn was banned from s'mores after about 5 marshmallows, but still managed to find some.

We think Joey had a good time. Another quote of the night, "Mom. I am livin' the life!"





To keep the fun (or chaos) going, Dominic caught a frog on the way in from the fire. All the kids were thrilled!
Ryn was officially made a little girl this birthday with all toys to play house.
She was so excited to say "Happy Do-do" all day, but I don't know if she really understood that it was her birthday.
What a fun night! Thanks, All!
(Sorry, Sisters, no pic of us...we look our age!) :o)

I cannot believe she is 2 years old already! Time flies! Looks like a fun day for your special girl :) Lovin' the Husky sweatshirts amongst your Cougar family.
