Lucy is Two!

 Has it really been two years since Lucy rushed into this world backwards and scared us all to death by refusing to breath on her own?  I guess it has!  And we are so grateful for the priesthood blessing Lucy received, for her miracle turnaround, and for the last two wonderful years with her.

Lucy's birthday cake
 We started Lucy's birthday off a day early with a Luau party at Grandma and Grandpa Grover's house.  All the cousins came, and we had a blast!

The yummy food - Hawaiian haystacks, fruit kabobs and hot dogs!

Lucy loved the fruit kabobs, and didn't mind sharing with Grandpa

Grandpa and Lucy doing the Hula dance!

And there she is with all her presents, getting ready to blow out her candles

The cousins got in on the present opening fun
 Lucy got lots of fun stuff: two balls, lots of books, some fun treats, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, moon dough, balloons, candy, finger paint bath bubbles, new sandals and a sand bucket and shovel - what more could a girl want?
A trike of course!  This cute little trike is from Mommy and Daddy.
 Let them eat cake! What is a birthday party without cake and ice cream?
Zach, Kade and Stetson

Lucy's cousin Aspen really got into her cupcake!

Happy Birthday Lucy Mae!
 On Lucy's real birthday we had a little family party for her to open a few presents.  This really confused Stetson, he is pretty sure she turned two at the first party, and then three at the second party, and pretty soon she will be four just like him!  Ha, ha, it's a good thing they don't grow up THAT fast!

Lucy got this cute wagon, and immediately loaded it with her other birthday gifts and hauled them around.  More sandbox toys, another ball and a blue monkey with super long arms and legs (great for playing ring around the rosie, or "Ashes" as Lucy calls it).

She got this new dress, and had to put it right on, then she did a beautiful dance for us
 And then - two days later - Lucy got a package!  I don't know who was more excited, her or Stetson, but we had to come right home and open it up!

 She got some super cute clothes and once again, she had to dance around to show them off!
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!
