Rose Turns TWO at the Dallas ZOO!!

Today is officially Rose's birthday and since Sean was at NaNa and PaPa's, and Kaylee had her best friend Carley stay over, we decided to pack the girls up and spend the day at the zoo. It was a fantastic girls day out... and daddy of course. Our first stop at the zoo was the Nature Train that goes all around the park and is suspended in the air. The girls really enjoyed riding around way up high and looking in on all of the animals.





After the Nature Train there was no slowing down for Rose. She managed to get a snack in somehow while walking.

In the kids zone at the Dallas zoo there is a large stream that runs through a small kids park. We brought the girls suites today so the could do a little splish splashing.





We visited the petting zoo after the playing in the water. This is one of Rose's favorite places to go in the zoo. She absolutely LOVES the goats even though every time she sees them, her eyes light up, she points, and says DOG.



Right before we left the zoo for the day the girls rode the Carousel at the entrance.


Happy Happy Birthday to our sweet baby girl! We love you so much Rose!

Amanda's Dress

Amanda has asked me to be her maid of honor and with that comes all the wedding responsibilities. The first one to check off of the list was finding "the dress". Now I can't exactly tell you if we found "the one" or if we did if it is any of these beautiful dresses or not, but it was a great day. When we first arrived Amanda sat down and began to fill out the first packet of paperwork ever stating that she is an engaged woman and she is getting married. Kaylee came with us because, well, it's Kaylee... and we were going to a store full of dresses. She had so much fun helping Aunt Amanda out with the dresses and accessories.

Rose's 2nd birthday party!

Today was the celebration of Rose turning two. We cannot believe that our "baby" has grown up so fast. It was a fantastic day with so much to do. Good friends and family surrounded her all day long ad showed her just how much she's loved.




There were plenty of water activities throughout the day. But Rose;s favorite was squirting all of her friends, cousins, bubba, and sissy down with the water hose. She would squirt them all and then laugh.



The slip-n-slide was a HUGE hit.









Last but not least...a water balloon fight.


When the fun in the water was done... it was time for cake. This year her cake was strawberry swirled with butter cream and pink fondant icing. :)









After most of the guest went home Rose dug in to her presents.

Of course Rose's favorite present was the giant pink fluffy chair with her name on it that MeMe got for her. :)
