Happy Birthday (Big) Erin!

My friend Erin had a birthday barbeque this weekend. We had loads of fun playing cards (Euchre!!), eating grilled chicken and hot dogs and playing in the sandbox. Erin played with the "big boys" outside. Running around the house, playing in the sandbox, playing "lasso golf" and just having fun. It was cute to see her chase after the boys!

Playin' in the Pool!

We bought Erin a baby pool again this year. She absolutely loves it! She has only fallen in once (OOPS! She was bending over the side to splash and slid right in.) Scared her more than anything but she still enjoys it!

Two Year Anniversary!

Ryan and I celebrated our two year wedding anniversary today. We went to dinner at LaSalle Grill downtown and had a fabulous dinner. It was half price wine night so we got a $50 bottle of wine for $25! (A merlot from Napa Valley). For an appetizer we had rustic spinach and smoked bacon quiche. Ryan had the lamb with horseradish mashed potatoes and I had the Pan Seared Indiana Duckling with horseradish mashed potatoes and a Greek Yogurt Sauce. It was delicious! For dessert, Ryan had a blueberry crisp sundae and I had Choco Vine (chocolate wine!!) YUM!

Ryan also sent me flowers at work for our anniversary. They are absolutely gorgeous and smell wonderful! All of my co-workers are enjoying them too!

The Zoo with Daddy & G-Pa!

Daddy, Erin, G-Pa and I went to the Zoo again today. Erin had the best time looking at all the animals! She walked a lot of the way too. She is getting so independent! Her favorite animals were the Koi and the monkeys!

Looking at the big kitties!

Feeding the catfish

We heard the lions "roar" which was really neat!! The lions made the monkeys howl and the birds squawk.

We have a future ballerina on our hands!

Just chillin' with the goats!

The Lemurs
This particular monkey thought Erin was going to steal his water bowl. So every time she went toward the blue bowl he followed and "stole" it back.

You Are My Sunshine....

Daredevil

Erin loves her new rocking chair but she sure doesn't use it properly! She turns around and stands on it backwards and rocks! Then she lets go and looks at you like she is saying "Look Ma! No Hands!"

So Cute

Kristin & Matt's Wedding

Our friends, Kristin and Matt got married in Las Vegas last month. Their at-home wedding reception was this weekend and it was so much fun! We got to see a lot of our friends and their families that we don't get to see very often.

Adorable Centerpieces!

Gorgeous Cake!
