My baby girl is 2!!!!

I can't believe it! These past two years have flown by! Okay I'm not real sure if I used the right word there or not but I am pretty tired right now. It's only a little after 9:00 right now and I'm closing my eyes as I write.
Okay so we got up this morning and we're at my best friend Misti's house in Bloomington and she felt horrible because she had forgot that it was Emma's birthday but she so made is special for her this morning. She had Maddie make her a card and then she put a sign on her chair with streamers everywhere! It was so nice and then she made her a waffle with sprinkles and two candles on it for her. We sang happy birthday and she blew out her candles! It was so nice! She's awesome!
Well anyway after that we headed for home and on our way home we did stop at Portillos in Sycamore and that was very yummy! Had my usual and then came home and put her down for a nap. Ethan hasn't had a nap for the past two days and he's done really well. I've been very surprised! I figured though that he is moving to school age in a couple weeks and then he won't have a nap all day so might as well start now. Okay so when Emma was a sleep we wrapped her presents and when she woke up she had a great big surprise! She was so happy to see her dora vanity. It's adorable! We also got her these cards that she likes, a dora blanket and dora bedding...yes she is in her toddler bed as we speak! I'm not sure how many times I will be getting up tonight but we'll see! :-) She went right into it and hasn't made a sound yet. *crossing my fingers* Where was I?
Yeah her presents...so she enjoyed everything and then we went to the store got her a birthday cake and my dad and sister came over tonight and enjoyed cake with us. That was very nice because that does not happen very often at all.
This past weekend was great though back tracking a little bit. We woke up on Saturday morning and had T-ball pics and then a game after that. Both went really good. He smiled so nice and the kids on his team are doing pretty well. After that we got packed and then headed down to Bloomington. We got there spent a little time and then we went out for Misti's 30th birthday. That was a lot of fun. We went to a restaurant called J Bucks and their portions of food were ginormous! Okay I spelled that wrong but I hope you know what I meant! We got home about 10:00 went to bed and then got up the next morning and the kids played outside for a while and then went to the zoo. They all had so much fun with all of the animals! They were all running everywhere! After the zoo we went to eat at Josh's favorite restaurant when he was in college called La Bamba's and he was in heaven. He was so happy that we went there. After that Misti and I took the kids to the park to play and Josh and Chris went to the store to get stuff for dinner...okay not only the store but they stopped at a pub too! We had yummy brats to eat and then after that the kids went out to play again. I do have to say that my son is going to be quite the baseball player I think. Josh was hitting him fly balls and he actually dove and caught some of them with his glove backwards. I was very impressed! I told them that if he actually does stick with it for a while he probably will be pretty good!
Alright well I really have to get to bed. Tomorrow we will be working in the yard and then Ethan has a game at 5:45. Hope all is well with all of you and I hope you guys had fun at scrap night on Saturday! Until next time...
