Birdy's Birthday Round 1 (Plus Salmon!)

In what is becoming a scary tradition with us, we celebrated Birdy's 2nd birthday twice. Once in Salmon with DMP's family and once at our house with mine. 

Birdy is lucky enough to have been born on the same day as her cousin David (only 1 hr apart!).  They even got blessed on the same day - here is a pic- Birdy is just seconds away from bawling:

DNow they are both big two-year-old kids: img_2046



David came to Salmon with his Mom, big brother and sister, so we decided to throw a party for them- complete with a Winnie the Pooh cake:

The party was lots of fun. Wren had to help David blow out his candles and the cake turned out really, really tasty. 

We were all in Salmon to celebrate my nephew Danny going on a mission. I can't tell you how proud I am of him. His talk was so great and I know that he is going to be a rock star missionary.  

It was also fun to see Grandma, Papper, Aunt Kathy, Charlie, and for the Philips Cousins to play together. Here are some more pictures of our great trip!

Really my only memory of Wren for the first 6 months of her life was here screaming all the time...all the time.

I can't believe Wren is 2 already! Crazy.

Did you get the package we sent? We sent it a few weeks ago, so it should've definitely arrived by now.

Me too, Brad, me too. DMP and I aren't even sad or nostalgic that she is growing up- we don't want Baby Birdy back!

Looks like as much fun as I thought it was!!!!! Was great to see you all and have time to visit & play.

It appears you are in Idaho. No hanging out soon then, eh?

Or I guess you WERE in Idaho. I lost track of dates, sorry. :) Head cold.
