The week of Julia's birthday party was crazy! There was so much to do and we even threw in a couple of extras! Mid week we decided to go to the ranch. Pa Pa was working cows and I thought Julia would enjoy it. I was right. She sat for 2 hours and watched them work the cows! Crazy girl. Mi Mi also got some treats for the cows so they would come up close to the girls and they even got to pet a couple. While we were there Julia stepped in a huge fresh pile of poop. She was too funny because she wiped it off with her finger and then smeared it on her shirt! She also wouldn't put any weight on the foot that had the shoe with poop on it. She cracks me up. Of course princess Natalie didn't have any interest in seeing the cows, but enjoyed staying at the house playing dress up with Mi Mi.
On Friday Adam and Danielle came into town and we decided to have a night out! It was fun, but I remembered on Saturday why I don't do it very often!!
Sunday morning we participated in an event called Jog 4 A Paws. It benefits kids with special needs by helping with the cost of a therapy dog. This year my cousin Braden was the child that was being helped! Carrie and the girls came along with us too! It was a lot of fun, but a little chilly!
Ready, set, go!!
Yea! We made it a mile!!
Later that afternoon we finally got to have Julia's second birthday party! We had a petting zoo and a face painter and lots of goodies to eat. The weather was nice, but there was a little wind. Oh well, we do live in Kansas!!
Julia's cake. I was totally in love with it. She also loved all the animals on it.
Yummy cookies. I asked the baker to make the cookies more girly and I think she did!

We gave everyone a blanket so they could have a picnic in the backyard.

I love this photo. I think that Julia is yelling, "Goat!" to try and get him to wake up.
I am not sure what these two are looking at, but I love it!
Yum! Time for some food!
Getting our face painted.She ended up with a cow on one side and a duck on the other!
Opening our gifts! Julia got great things from all her family and friends!!
Julia got a KU Bag which she loved. Of course anything with a bird on it is a winner.
This gift is a tricycle, from uncle Jared. I love her expression as she sees what it is. She actually said, "Bike! Yea!"
Time for some cake!
I tried to give her the top of the cake, but she insisted on the piece with the bun-bun.
Just hanging out. Jared is insisting on an under dog from Mi Mi.
Natalie loving on Mi Mi.
Julia got this puzzle and was making the animal sounds. It was hilarious!

Julia's party was so much fun. I can't believe that she is two. She is wild and spunky and just perfect. Can't wait to see what the next year brings!
