Chloe is Two!!!

This top picture actually belongs at the bottom. I can't figure out how to move my pictures once I've put them up (blogger must have changed something). Anyways, this picture is of cows in a little barn area- with Zach and Chloe hugging :) It is from the county fair we went to.

Here is the beginning of Chloe's birthday. She was outside playing baseball with daddy and auntie Maddy. I made a bear cake, and mom made the bumble bee cupcakes.

My end product. I think last year's was cuter and yummier, but Chloe was VERY excited when she saw all the m&m's (or "pee pee candy").

My mom is always outdoing herself with the artistic cakes. The bumble bees were made of doughnuts. They were really good, but in the next couple days, the icing piped on them soaked into the doughnuts, and they became AMAZING! I cannot tell a lie. I ate many bumble bees off the leftover cupcakes!

Grandma Kathy and baby Amara.

Chloe really liked squeeking the balloons!

All day, every time she saw the cupcakes, Chloe threw a fit. She cried and screamed and yelled "PUP TAKE!!!" a lot that day. Here she is when she was finally given her very own (giant) "pup take."

YUM!

Opening presents was a blur. To keep Chloe's attention, Grandma Kathy helped her open them lightning speed. I had to ask later who gave her what. All the presents were really great. So great that Chloe has been playing by herself most of the day for the last 2 days!! Niiiiice.

Grandpa Bob and Auntie Karie came. It was really good to see them.

Grandpa Bob gave Chloe this pink piano. She LOVES it. all day she comes up to me and says "help momma" and shoves it im my face because she can turn it off but not on. I turn it on, and am rewarded with an hour of uninturrupted "demo" music. So far, Chloe really only wants to hear the demo music and dance dance dance. This toy was a winner.

We had a great time a couple days later at the Franklin county fair. We went down there in hopes of a few carnival rides, but were not too displeased to find that the rides would not be ready for a few days. We had a great time walking around and seeing all the 4H animals. There was a pig show that was quite entertaining. There were fancy show chickens, roosters, ducks, bunnies, and cows as well! Chloe as always was MOST impressed by the dirt and rocks. We had fun!

The pig show.

After the fair, we went out to eat at the worst mom and pop mexican restaurant ever. It was pretty funny. All in all, it was a GREAT weekend with the family. Really! Highly enjoyable 4th of July/Chloe's birthday weekend.
