Here's something to Crow about - Rooster turned TWO!

I can't wrap my mind around the fact that she is two. What a joy, what a blessing she has been to my life.


swollen and bruised after a hard delivery.


3 months


Eating her first cracker at 6 months


Crawling every where at 9 months


Sick on her first birthday


Summer fun at 18 months


Super cute and pretty terrific at TWO!

The Party Weekend

Since her birthday was on Sunday we wanted to play on Saturday. We drove over to Meridian to pick up Karen (YAY!) We then ventured to the mall to the Build-a-Bear workshop. Spencer decided to make one too since his birthday is in a week. Rooster was a little overwhelmed but very cute. She loved all the shoe choices! She settled on a silver pair for her panda bear (that we named Oreo.) She has loved on that bear ever since.

Spencer was adorable in the store. He picked out an outfit that was nearly identical to what he was wearing complete with mini Sketchers. He named his bear Spencer (nickname Braxton.) Very fun activity.

We had lunch at Olive Garden a few errands at Target and then home. That evening when Kurt got home we had a little party with games and present opening.


Emma and I made a matching game (find the TWO matching pictures of Ruth from birth to TWO.) Then we put all the pictures in chronicle order.


Austin also prepared a game. Here are the instructions for his "Don't Touch the Monster" game {tag.}


Rooster picked out the last game. A new king-size jar of bubbles. I love the simple joy of two year olds.


She loves the tea set from Grandma Richards


Trying on all the dress up shoes from mom and dad

We invited everyone for Sunday dinner at our house since it was her actual birthday. I took Karen back to Nampa to meet her ride after my church meeting and then we got ready for everyone to come. I kept debating about canceling b/c she has had such a bad cough, never a fever but lots of coughing. But we progressed and it was a nice turn out, delicious food and everyone was so thoughtful.
