Gwendolyn 2nd Birthday Pics from Sears

I will blog more about it later, but we ended up getting Gwen's 2nd year pics taken at Sears late Friday night. Boy was it an eventful day! Enjoy the pics for now...more about her birthday and 1/2 party to come :)

Gwendolyn 2nd Birthday - Sears

Creamery / Sheep Farm visit

We had to drive pretty far west in NJ today for Jason's work so we decided to go to this Creamery / sheep farm and have Gwen feed the animals and run around for a while. It was so nice out and she had a lot of fun. There was a tractor - which she loved...it's that Iowan blood in her :) There were sheep, goats, llamas and one of the biggest horses I have ever seen, no joke! She loved the animals and fed the goats and sheep mostly although really liked yelling the word "Llama" over and over.







We ended up eating at this side of the road diner called The After on the way back and it was awesome except our terrible two daughter likes to throw fits and only eat Ice Cream...but that is another post in itself...terrible 2's are real? Why didn't anyone tell me it was not just a saying?! LOL!

Anyways, she definitely ate her ice cream...actually that is my ice cream, she didn't want her cotton candy kind, guess we know her favorite is Mint Chocolate Chip now or maybe it was just because it was mine, hummmmmm....:)



I am not sure she understood that she should feed the animals from her hands because she was throwing the food on the ground next to them the whole time...actually, I am pretty sure the goat and sheep that hung out around her were slightly upset with her, lol.

So far it's pretty much just Gwen dancing like crazy - which is still really entertaining :)

Mother's Day 2010

Besides having a horrible weekend, Mother's Day was amazing! I say horrible weekend because Gwen started daycare again this week - which is another post in itself and is coming soon - but being that I pick her up and drop her off, I seemed to have caught some bug going around. On Friday they told the parents that about 12 kids were either out sick or throwing up and leaving school that day. Gwen luckily was not one of them....me on the other hand, was :(.

Maybe I touched something I should have not in that daycare but I really have no clue - anyways, I won't go into too much detail but after staying at work all Friday with a horrible headache and stomach ache because Jason had the car in Dover, when he finally got me and we went to get Gwen I was feeling even worse. I actually threw up in a target bag 2 times on the way home in rush hour traffic. Gwen was in the back making growling vomit noises and laughing while Jason was avoiding a crazy 50 year old cut off shirt wearing jerk who tried to hit us and then get out and beat Jason up (yet another story) anywho my friday night and Saturday were not fun. Woke up Sunday feeling great!

Good think because Jason and Gwen took me to Stacks, a pancake house in Hoboken. We were planning on going to Randi's house for Mother's Day (our good friends here or what we call our 2nd family!) but after canceling going to the wine/tupperware/jewelry party I was going to go to on Saturday night, I wasn't even thinking we were going make it to Mother's Day. Glad I felt good enough for Stacks though because it was Y-U-M-M-Y! We then walked around Hoboken for a while to get some air (kinda chilly today!) and Jason stopped to buy Gwen and myself aprons for Mother's Day! We love them! You can see all the different kinds at flirtyaprons.com but the one I got is here...



Gwen's is here...



Mine had to be ordered so I will get it in 2 weeks, but Gwen's was in stock so she wore it a while when we got home :) So cute and I love it! I had been looking for a cute old school apron forever so I am so glad they got me this, perfect Mother's Day!




Eddie got in on the Mother's Day action as well. He snuggled with me this morning before I got up and even posed for a pic...although I think he loved laying with Jason the most :)




Finally, we didn't bake on Mother's Day, but early in the week Gwen and I made blueberry muffins. She did most of the stirring of the batter...and yes, she is cooking in her undies! She LOVES undies, lol. She asks to wear them and since she is getting pretty good with potty training, we let her. So far only 2 accidents. :)

Some Spring Fun!

During one of the weekends in April is was about 90 degrees out and we decided to take Gwen to Van Saun Park in Paramus NJ. They have a carousel, a zoo, a train ride, a big play groud and of course huge areas to run around in. She loved it and we all got a little sun and enjoyed being outside finally! on her carousel ride she rode the Ostrich and thought it was soooo cool that she was going up, then down, up, then down. I loved seeing her face.











Just some cute ones to end the post :)

Kyle and Heather's Visit - April 2010

Jason's good buddy Kyle visited this April. He visited last April as well, but this time he brought his girlfriend Heather and it was soooo much fun! Gwen loved seeing them again. Kyle actually witnessed Gwen's 1st steps last year! I had to work all week, but they had a very good time. These are just a few pics of their fun trip.

They did a ton of things while visiting and Gwen got to tag along sometimes as well. Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Boston, Red Bank, Medieval Times, a NJ Devils playoff game, Central Park, Gwen's first time bowling many other NYC places and Hoboken as well. It was fun! Enjoy the random mix of pics!

Gwen enjoyed sitting with Heather on the Ferry to the Statue of Liberty!





Jason got to see Fenway up in Boston, he was very very giddy :)
