I'm sure she thinks she's helping in some way.

Brandaan with his shiny new toy!



I haven't even mentioned our new house yet mostly because I didn't want to jinx it.  Now that it's officially on it's way I can give you all the latest in the process.  My dad is doing all the excavation work and it's almost all done.  He's so nice to do all this work for us.  The road into our property is totally done besides some last grading.  
Our house is nestled right in the trees.  My dad had to take out some of the trees and BRANDAAN and ZACK cut them all into logs.  BRANDAAN came home one day with a shiny new chainsaw and my mouth fell open and followed with lots of laughing.  I'm sure you're all as surprised as me that BRANDAAN could run a chainsaw.  I would think you would have to get some kind of training...not if you're BRANDAAN.  Well, he did cut his pants right open!  Luckily, our friend ZACK was a logger for a long time and was able to show BRANDAAN the ropes.  ZACK had about fifteen trees cut when BRANDAAN finished his third.  If you ask BRANDAAN the reason for that is because BRANDAAN'S trees were so much larger!  Right!  That's totally BRANDAAN!
We should be ready soon for the foundation!

We CaN HaRdLy BeliEVe iT's TrUe...ReEsE tuRNed TwO!







The Birthday Girl and her balloon.

The Birthday Girl...

The girls were all given wings and wands.  Then they got their faces painted by the talented Miken and Matea.  They finished turning them into fa
iries by sprinkling them with pixie dust.  It was very magical!

Thank you to Miken and Matea for all their help!


Fairy Ashlynn...Look at all the pixie dust in her hair!

Fairy Laney



The Schoening's brought a pony and gave all the kids pony rides.  Thank you so much Danny and Amber.  It was definitely the highlight!

The Birthday Girl...

No party is complete without a pinata!  

Logan hits like a girl...

And Ashlynn hits like a boy!  No kidding!


Notice how all the kids backed up when Kaden cocked back his swing!

Finally... she makes her wish!

I posted this picture because I thought it was hilarious she started using her teeth to tear the paper...grrr!



And Yeahhh!  It's Little Mermaid. Her favorite!
