Levi's 2nd birthday!

Levi turned 2 years old on Thursday, and we had his party on Saturday. Charlotte, Stacy and Grant came out from the city and spent the day with us.
Levi loved his "Moo" cake (as he called it), but he got freaked out by the candles and singing of Happy Birthday! He had lots of fun opening his gifts and he loves everything he got!

30!

On Sunday, Wendy hosted a 30th birthday party for me! We played lots of games, laughed and ate lots of great food and cake! Thanks soooo much Wendy for your hospitality and for the great food!




















































After the party at Wendy's, we came back to our place along with Charlotte, Stacy and Grant. We played a couple balloon games and laughed so hard we thought our sides would split! And during one of the games my chair tipped over! We actually caught the moment on video! It was a great day and now I don't feel so bad about being 30!

Our Little Rocker!

Nora and Levi got to spend some gift money today, and this purple guitar was what Nora wanted. She has been playing it pretty much non-stop since we got home! We tried showing her the right way to hold it, but she wants to do it her own way.

Levi picked out a semi truck that carries a car on it's flatbed.

New Dress Coat

This is the dress coat I just finished making for Nora. She absolutely loves it! She likes that it is a "twirly" coat just like a dress. The coat is fully lined with the same fleece as the cuffs. I'm very happy with how it turned out and the weather hopefully will cooperate so that she can wear it on Sunday!

Our adorable kids!

This picture is just so sweet!
I gave Levi a haircut tonight, with Curtis's clippers. It turned out really cute!
I also weighed and measured both kids, just out of curiosity.
Nora is 33 pounds and 39 1/2 inches tall (3 1/2 years old)
Levi is 24 pounds and 32 1/2 inches tall (23 months old)

Just a few pictures

Nora loves to make jewelery with her beads. She has made bracelets and necklaces for each of us and for her favorite stuffed animals.

The kids both love to play our recently inherited organ. It was at Grandma Bell's house and my sisters and I would play it every Sunday when we would go to Grandma and Grandpa's for lunch after church. Good memories...but I certainly don't remember this organ being as loud as it is now!!!




Not really much I can say about this picture.....








Levi's favorite pastime is doing this alphabet puzzle. He does it so often he could do it in his sleep...which he almost is!

Nora's drawings

This is Nora's interpretation of a caterpillar.




And this is a cat.
