John Deere Girl

Our little John Deere Girl turned TWO last week and boy did we celebrate!!! Our family and some close friends gathered at Nene and Papaw's house for a Pink John Deere party! Exactly our Miss Claire and all the Tinkerbelle gifts were an extra plus! The kids had a blast playing in a jump house that we borrowed, playing on the REAL John Deere tractor, eating cupcakes and ice cream cones and who could forget the hot dogs and cheese dip....two of Claire's favorites! It was a wonderful party and we were so HAPPY and thankful for our family and friends who helped us celebrate our true little toddler!!!

Claire is 2!

Getting ready to go to school on her 2nd Birthday, October 7, 2010!!!
She wanted a picture riding her horse too!

Opening a birthday present on her actual birthday....a Tag, Jr. She loves it!

...but not as much as her playground!!!!

8:24pm exactly 2 years old

Claire managed to play with Tink and her tractor during her "exactly" 2 year old minute; which describes her to a tee! She loves Tinkerbelle and Tractors!
She got to pick what she wanted for dinner...her favorite Pizza!!! So off to Pizza Hut we went. She made a new little friend that night and they had a blast running wild, dancing, skipping...I normally would never let my child run wild in a restaurant but it was her birthday and she laughed and smiled the whole time Could Not Have Been Any Happier!!....and sometimes we are just suppose to stop and smell the roses! (I so wish I had pictures) Hope you had a wonderful 2nd Birthday baby girl!!!
The Big 2 year old party up next!

Last night as a One Year Old!

"Don't move" I hear Nick say while laughing..."Momma, bring the camera!!!" I round the corner and this is what I find...all we could do is laugh. Claire then told me that she needed some powder on her face too... ....notice she has on one of Nick's socks; she is big into socks these day. Have no idea why? Nick got the vacuum, I got the baby!
Next (after a PJ change) we made cupcakes to take to Claire's class for her birthday party with her friends at school....Tinkerbelle cupcakes that is...not that anyone should be surprised, Tink is our all time favorite!!!
Claire was admiring all her hard work and decided she just could not wait for school!
More birthday to come.....

730 Days

730 Days

The blond curls have grown longer, your eyes still very blue
Is it really time for you to turn two?
Another 365 days have passed by
So many firsts, so many laughs, so many cries
Smart, beautiful, lovable and so much more
You are everything a mother could pray for
Singing your ABC’s and row row boat
Watching you swim and to learning float
From learning to walk, to run, to skip
Let’s not forget our first ER trip
You love your cat, you love your pap pap’s, and you love your doll Mae
Oh! There is so much more this proud Momma could say
Many minutes spent in time out, always followed by “I sorry” hug and a kiss
Growing pains I would never want to miss
Always a helper and Miss Independent, the true toddler you are
Riding “Hanny Manny” all around the yard
Mac mac cheese, mow cow, popcorn and sprite
Helping your little body to grow up right?
Twenty six pounds and thirty three inches tall
Seems like yesterday you just learned to crawl
Learning to go potty, brushing your teeth, washing your hands
To going mud ridin’ at deer camp and roaming our land
Tinkerbelle, playing blanks, towels, and spoons
Daddy “I see stars and moon”
A child of our Lord was confirmed this spring
You read your Bible every night and give praise to our King
For you, my dear; every day to come I pray for Health, Love, Hope, Joy…
….and of course your zoo, Dolly, and your many more toys
The conversations I have with you leave me amazed
What will the next 730 days bring…my mind wanders with a light fog & daze?
Memories are something we all try to grasp and hold on to,
Never wanting to fade
Every second of every day, I live for you my Claire Carter Wade

I love you….to the moon and back ~ Your Momma
October 7, 2010 ~ Happy 2nd Birthday
