Amelia took a spill in the mud and sadly we weren't prepared with extra clothes.

What we came up with.

Her hoodie, mittens as leg warmers, and boots with no socks.

Luckily she had taken the twink costume off minutes before.
Our warm fire. :)
Kisses :)
notice no beard...

Happy Birthday Amelia!!!

Amelia turned two today!!!

It was a pretty eventful day. We woke Mills up early to open some presents,

before Brandon left to work and school .

She got some cute new clothes and a fun book. She loves books.

Later, we met up with Heather and Olivia at the zoo.

We loved the baby elephant and mommy. It was the cutest.

Mills and Olivia are best buds. It was so fun to share the day together. Olivias birthday is tomorrow. They are a year apart by a day so fun.

Olivia and Mills dancing so excited to go on the merry go round.

Later, we went to Chuck E Cheese for dinner.

We hadn't been before, but Amelia loved it.

Grandpa and Grandma Petersen, Aunt Melinda, Dylan, Dani, Ali,

Grandma Backman and Aunt Kait all came.

Opening presents.

Mom and Mills

Amelia is such a dancer. :) Here is just a clip.

Amelia and Chuck...
With the tickets from the games Amelia got stickers and a bracelet.

She put them all over her face. :)

Overall it was a really fun day.

Happy Birthday Amelia! We love you!!!

Halloween/Birthday Party

Amelia is turning TWO!!! on Monday, so today we had a little birthday party for her during our monthly cousin playdate. I can't believe she is growing so fast. It is strange how it can seem so fast, yet at the same time feel like she has always been apart of our little family. We love her so much, and are suprised daily at how clever, funny, silly, and adorable she can be. We love her so much, and can't wait to see what life has in store for her.

Fun with Family

Some of our family came to visit from Australia. It was alot of fun to see them.

Amelia loved all the extra people around to play with for the week.

Hopefully they had fun with all the driving they ended up doing.

I didn't take too many pictures but here are a few.

Brandon, Amelia, and Kaitlyn
Amelia and Brandon...

We were surprised at their size difference.

Amelia will be two next week and Brandon is 2.
Amelia loved her cousin Ricky

Amelia jumping to Ricky....

Me and Ricky.... My growing belly :)

A couple of times while they were here he got asked what team he played for...
Amelia and the twins Danny and Dakota

She liked to hold the babies... It was so cute. Im hoping she will love her baby when he comes. Only a few weeks to go. Crazy.
The twins were so cute. It does look like a lot of work. :)
But they were so good considering all the traveling they were doing.
I don't think I heard them crying at all.

Just hanging out. Margaret, my Mom, Ricky, and Dennis.
