Princess Leah's Wedding

Congratulations Leah and Ryan.

I had a lot of fun at your wedding and today at church I was wondering where Princess Leah was. Below Leah is giving mom the OMG Look-I think she's thinking not only am I a princess but a married princess!

Labor Day Weekend 2008

We went to the cabin for Labor Day.

Dylan and Gavin are planning what we are going to do next-however, we don't have our life jackets on so I don't think we'll get too far.There's always good food to eat at the cabin.

Do you think I can eat this many hotdogs?
Gav and I swing. Dylan pushes--sounds dangerous

The ZOO

On one of the Schafer's last days of summer vacation, I went to the Oxbow Zoo with Grandma Rox, Katie, Dylan, Gavin and Mom. If only summer would last forever...

2 YEARS OLD

So Mom has been neglecting to update you on a very important day I had-my 2nd birthday! I did a lot of celebrating with a family birthday one night, a party with Mom and Dad another night, and a party at daycare with Amy and my friends. My birthday sure did keep me busy. And now with all of my new toys and clothes I've been even busier.

Here I am eating some cake on my big day-the frosting is the best part of course!

Wow-a present!

What's in here?

Trying out my new lipstick on Mom

Now that I'm a 2 year old, I'm trying out this new big girl bed and I love sleeping with all of my babies

2 YEARS OLD

Below I'm with my Carebear cake at my family birthday party and I'm not quite sure about all of these people watching me...

Sofie, Dylan, and Gavin stood next to me to make me feel better but I am still pretty nervous with everyone watching us.
And then they all started singing Happy Birthday (which is now one of my favorite songs) and I couldn't take it anymore. Luckily Dylan and Gav were still close by to help me with the candle blowing.
I recovered from the Happy Birthday song and had a very fun party. Gavin and I are checking out one of my new babies, Jackie.
Finally I have my own make-up. I always try to get Mom's but now I have my very own. Thanks Brent and Christie!

I'm getting a little tired but not too tired for cake with the Schafer's

Playing with all of my new toys

Wisconsin Dells

Mom took a week off from work and at the end of the week Dad took us to the Wilderness at Wisconsin Dells. I had a blast at all of the waterparks there and became quite the fish by the end of our trip. I had lots of fun going down the kiddie waters slides and hanging out with Mom and Dad. Below are some photos from the pools.

LaCrosse's Children's Museum

On the way to Wisconsin Dells, we stopped at the Children's Museum in LaCrosse. I had fun checking out all of the exhibits and the grocery store was definately my favorite.

Mommy's Helper

While we were on vacation, I got to help with a little cooking

Or maybe just helping with the s"nitching" part...do my blue eyes look guilty here or what!
Enough of the stirring and nitching, on to my apple!
Also in July, I went to Princess Nikki and Ben's wedding. I had a blast at the dance and loved this light up necklace. Mom's camera was out of battery so this is the only picture we got from the day-if she couldn't get any of the princess, at least she got one with my necklace!

July 2008

Hi! I've been keeping busy puddling in my pool on the deck. Here is my "koka dot" suit.
