Myla's 2nd Birthday Part 2

Below is pictures/video from Myla's actual 2nd Birthday yesterday. We had so much fun. It started off with a playdate with lots of friends at Michaela, Connor and Liam's house. We had cupcakes, pool time and decorated some bags.

When then came home for lunch and nap. We then went to the park with Daddy, came home and swam in Myla's new pool. Auntie KK and uncle T brought over pizza for dinner, Myla's favorite! we finished off with a special Elmo cake made of cookie and presents.

The day ended with Myla spontaneously going pee in the potty for the first time!!!

Myla's 2nd Birthday part 1

Myla turned 2 years old yesterday!! To celebrate we had a big Voelker/Lucas family birthday party in the cities this last weekend. We all had a great time!!

Fu Fu

Last week Myla out of nowhere says to me Fufu and Laughs. I started saying Fufu back to her and she just giggled and giggled. She is at such a fun age-always making us laugh and keeping us on our toes! Enjoy the video

sleepover

Last Friday my Sister Katie and her husband Tony, took Myla for a sleepover. We dropped her off for dinner-her favorite PIZZA. Then they took a trip to the park and Myla got to stay past her normal bedtime. She slept great, except for getting up at 6:00 am. Auntie KK and Uncle T dropped her off around 11. Myla, Lance and I are very lucky to have family up here near us to spoil Myla. Thanks Auntie and Uncle

the d-town zoo

About 2 weeks back Myla and I met our friends the Doyles at the Zoo. We had a good time and enjoyed some great weather. We saw some pretty neat animals and reptiles. Althougth the zoo is in need of some definite improvments for the habitants. Enjoy the pics!!!

31 weeks and counting

So I am in the middle of my 31st week of pregnancy. I am overall feeling pretty good. Lately my back and hips have started to ache-espically with a lot of activitly. I am going to start to slowly get all the baby clothes cleaned and get our things ready to go for the new one. I think it will help help all 3 of us get a little more mentaly prepared for our babes new arrival.

Pictures below are from Saturday. I don't feel like I have a big baby belly-but when I see the pictures of myself I feel huge!!!! Myla was feeling left out of the pictures so she lifted up her shirt to proudly show off her little belly.

On the way to Winona we caught this darling picture. Words cannot express how much I love this little girl of ours. I cherish everyday I get with her!!

4th of July weekend

Our family did some traveling this past weekend. We started out by driving down to my parent's house in Robbinsdale for Thursday night. We had a nice visit and good dinner. Then Friday Morning we packed up and went to Lance's parent's house in Winona.

It was fun to visit with Grandma, Grandpa, the Great Grandparents and Lance's Aunt and Uncle. It was pretty warm down there so Myla was pretty much naked the whole time playing in the pool. Myla just loves naked time!!!

We had our first experience with eating capon.

It was pretty good and juicy. Myla also experienced fireworks for her first time. She was not too impressed and just kept saying ouch.

And the last picture is of Myla having the best donuts in the world from Blato's. It is a must have for every visit to Winona!

1 Hair cut

As many of you know-Myla has been sporting a mullet for the last 6-7 months. But this weekend Grandma Jane gave Myla her 1st Hair Cut!!! This was against Lance's wish-but his Mom convinced him it would help her hair to grow fuller and faster. We really only took off a 1/2 inch in the back but it was a big moment for Lance and I, realizing our little one is getting big. Enjoy the photo-montage
