Father's Day 2012

We had a fairly low key day. Dewey had to work the night shift so he joined us by the pool at Aly and Steve's house for a few hours before heading in. We had a small pot luck to celebrate the dads in our life while we soaked up some much need rays of sunshine!

I am heart broken that I didn't even get a picture of Dewey and Khloe! Guess we were to busy enjoying the day together. Seriously though, Dewey is an amazing dad! He has always been part of every aspect of Khloe's life. He has never moaned or groaned when asked to give her a bath, feed her dinner, change her diapers or play with her after a long day of work. We are so lucky to have him in our life. We love you babe! Hope you had a great Father's Day!

First thing the morning following Khloe's 2nd Birthday Dewey and I were boarding a plane to Cancun Mexico! Here is our trip in pictures!

All Inclusive - Fiesta Americana Condesa



On the way to our room. Garden Room with partial ocean view. WOOT WOOT!

From our room. The ocean was too cool to be in the picture :(



Just a day at the beach. No big deal. :)



Mai Tai!

Perfect View!



The hubs and me in front of one of the ruins at Chichen Itza.



Seriously Chichen Itza. Absolutely amazing and only 110 degrees. Yeah. :)

 

The Cenote. INCREDIBLE!

Khloe Turns TWO!

Well I definitely do not deserve the mother of the year award! This post is almost a month late and I feel terrible.

On May 21, Khloe OFFICIALLY became a little girl. I know she hasn't been a baby for some time. But for some reason her second birthday really marked this as a reality for me. It's funny, when Khloe's first birthday came up everybody asked if I was sad or upset. They wanted to know if tears were going to flow and the answer was really "No". I was excited. Such a HUGE milestone! But, this birthday...I was still excited. But I really had a much more difficult time. I realized I will never hold her as a new baby in my arms again. I will never see her sit for the first time, crawl and take those first steps. Those are all great memories, all of which I cherish. But those are the thoughts that hit me in the week's before her birthday.

Wow! That makes her day sound like such a downer! It really really wasn't. And here are some picture to prove that :)




Amazing cupcakes Lindsey helped me bake! Chocolate and Vanilla cake. Vanilla frosting with red food coloring. Malt balls for the head, chocolate chips for the spots and melting chocolate for the antenna's. Yep that's some Martha Steward stuff right there.



Amazing decorations



She blew out her candle! MADE. MY. DAY!



Cutest cupcake face EVER :)

 

Khloe's new playhouse. Phone and all.

 

Must have picture of the little smelling the flowers.



Ain't she a doll? I'm one proud mama!



Swinging with Aunt Char. Love. Love. Love!

 I am so proud and lucky to be Khloe's mother. She is so amazing. She is so full of life. She is determined, stubborn and strong. I love you baby! HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY!!!
