Hurricane Kate turned 2

Kate's birthday fell on Memorial Day this year, so we got to spend the whole day celebrating.

We opened presents in the morning. (Well, Megan and Jared opened presents. Kate really wasn't very interested.)

Later that day we had friends over for a BBQ and to play in the water. I was a bad parent and didn't get pictures of any of the mayhem, but it was really fun. Thanks to the Thomas, Christensen, and Breinholt families for coming over and getting wet! (Sorry about the fire ants! Ouch!)

We had been practicing with Kate so she'd know how to blow out the candles on her birthday cake and she was getting really good at it. Unfortunately, blowing out a candle with just the family around and blowing out two candles after a room full of crazy-loud people sing at you are to very different things. She got a little case of stage fright. (It's always good to make your kid cry on their birthday. Give's'em something to talk about in therapy later, right?....)

Eventually she did calm down and blow out her candles.


And got to enjoy her ice cream in peace.





Happy birthday Kate! We are so glad you are part of our family!
