Maria's 2nd Birthday on April 5th!

Abbey came over for some cake and played with Mitchell and Maria!


Grandpa was all tired out after the "rollercoaster ride" in the back yard, but Mitchell made sure he didn't miss out on much!


Maria tries to fit into the puzzle box--she wants to help out some how!


Mitchell shows off the two new My Little Ponies that Maria got from Grandma & Grandpa for her birthday--she shares very well with her big brother and friend Abbey!


If Maria cannot grab anyone's ears, she settles for her own!


Mitchell, Abbey, & Maria run around while the bubble machine goes nuts! Entertainment for hours from her God parents who made a quick stop by--it was awesome!


Playing Ponies!


Gramps taking a nap!


Maria and Mitchell's "favorite girl in the whole world" as he referred to his Grandma Pudge--made her day!


Grandma and her best boy!


Maria grabs onto Daddy's ears and takes a little nap to get ready for her big birthday party!


Maria wakes up before all the other kids in her daycare room, so Crystal gave Maria a pedicure while they waited for all her friends to wake up! She may be a girlie girl after all! She wouldn't keep her socks on because she wanted everyone to see her pretty toes!


Grandpa plays on the "rollercoaster" with Mitchell! I missed the photo of him coming down the slide! He asks, "How do I get down?"


Grandma helps Mitchell put his new United States puzzle together--by the next afternoon he tells me, "I can do it myself, Mom." And of course he did!


More of the Bubble Machine. Mitchell and Maria runs around yelling, "Catch em! Catch em!"

What a great day we had! Grandma Pudge came down for the day and Grandma & Grandpa came over. Chuck cooked us up a real nice dinner--Grandma made cupcakes and we put Scooby Doo decorations on them. Mitchell also decorated a little cake for Maria's bday that we all enjoyed! The Dombecks stopped over for a few minutes--it was date night, so Abbey got to stay for awhile and play. What a treat! Cooper even stopped over and the kids got to play with the big boys for a few minutes! They both went to bed and slept really well that night!
