Megan's 2 year old pictures

I think all of these pictures speak for themselves.  She is such a cutie and growing up way too fast. 

Megan's 2nd Birthday

On November 4th, our little girl turned 2 years old.  We celebrated her birthday first with her friends and then at home with Grandma and Grandpa Roessing. 

I made the birthday cake.  She loves Elmo and seemed pretty happy about her cake.

I think she thought her cake was yummy, too.

Trying out her new present, a stroller for her baby dolls.

Sorry there isn't more pictures.  We ended up taking mostly video that night of her opening all of her presents and singing the Happy Birthday song, etc.

Halloween 2010

Our halloween was packed this year with so many fun activities.  Megan was a ladybug this year, and a darn cute one at that I might add.

She's trying to fly.  Afterall, she is a ladybug. 

Visiting the pumpkin patch and picking her pumpkin.

Halloween party with all of Megan's friends.

One of the activities at the party was decorating cookies.  Megan enjoyed the frosting and sprinkles, in case you couldn't notice.

Megan's first little boyfriends coming in for a smooch.

The kids also enjoyed an afternoon of painting pumpkins, since carving was out of the question.

Finally Halloween night is here.

Trip to Estes Park

Last September we had a weekend getaway with some friends. 5 couples and 5 toddlers rented a house in Estes and had fun playing, eating, and hiking. It was fun for all of the parents and all of the kids too.

The 5 kids having a cookie after dinner on the first evening. It's the only way we could get them all to sit still long enough for a picture.

                                My cutie.

                       The whole gang.

                    Hiking in Estes Park.  So beautiful!

 Bathtime after a fun day of hiking.  We decided 3 in a tub was plenty.  They had fun though.

  Wildlife in Estes.  A whole bunch of elk just down from the house we were staying at.

 We managed to get a nice family photo while up there.  It is nice to have friends willing to snap the camera for you just when the little one is smiling.

Camping - August 2010

This year we bought a camper and was able to take Megan on her first camping trip.  We all had a fun time.

                                Our new camper!  Home away from home.

       Waiting for breakfast.  Daddy is making pancakes.  Yumm!

Daddy thought he was going to fish.  Nadia and Megan had other plans. Nadia like to run thru the water and Megan liked to throw rocks in.

                                        Day 2.  Taking a hike. 

    Rain storm rolled in, so fun had to be had inside the camper.  Nothing like colors and stickers to entertain a little one.

                                              ......and a big one!

                            Final day.  Taking a walk before heading home.

   Heading home.  I think they are worn out.  Nothing better than a sleeping dog and a sleeping little girl.
                        

Megan's first running race

On July 4th I did a race with Megan.  After all the adults ran, the kids got to participate in a little race across the park where we ended.  Megan didn't know what to do until all the other kids starting running.  Needless to say, Megan and her friend Will were the youngest in the crowd (and the cutest if I might add.) 

Running to the finish.

She made it to the finish.

Father's Day

I know Father's Day was over 2 months ago, but we took some fun pictures that I wanted to post.  We had a nice day, even though Robert was busy working in the morning.  We had a nice dinner, he opened his presents and then we all went to a carnival by our house.  Robert got a new camera (yea!) and a picture book all about him and Megan.  Here are the pictures from the carnival.  Megan loved the rides. 

Megan loved to ride the horses.

On the ferris wheel.

Sitting like a big girl on the ferris wheel.  At first she wanted to stay on Daddy's lap, but then decided it was OK to sit in the seat. 

I love this picture of Megan and her Daddy.

Water, water, and more water

Megan loves playing in the water and going swimming.  Even if the water is cold, she still wants to get wet.  Here are some recent pictures of her playing with the hose in the front yard and her playing in her little swimming pool.

I think she may have a future as a fireman!!
