Kate's 2 year pics

Just a few of my favorites, there are so many to choose from! Thanks to Amy Patterson for taking the darling photos!

St. Anthony

We spent Labor Day Weekend in St. Anthony this year. We had high wind advisories the first two days, but got some good riding in the morning before we headed home. This is my dad going through Eigen Lakes in Rex. Background: Us kids took Rex for an unsupervised ride a couple of years ago at St. Anthony. Somehow it ended up with moss on the bottom, and my dad spotted it. We had no idea where it had come from :), and he's never let us forget it since! It was great to see him having a blast. We haven't seen him have so much fun and smile this big in a while :)

Marshall - checking out the depth

This is Jed Hydroplaning across the Lake. Yep, 4th gear and the throttle pinned. Shortly after this, he tried to go across the entire lake (I had left with the camera so no pics, sorry), and didn't quite make it. He flew over the handlebars, and his had to pull his bike up from the bottom of the lake (it's only about 5' deep).

Draining the water from his bike, yes water is coming out of the tailpipe.

Kate and Rondi. I know Kate looks terrified in this picture, but just moments before she had a huge grin on her face. She really does love riding on the four-wheeler.

Kate all geared up to ride with Mom.

Minnie Cupcakes

Kate's 2nd Birthday

Kate loves Minnie Mouse and riding the pit bikes with her Daddy, so what better way to celebrate her 2nd birthday than a "Minnie Bike" party. It was so much fun, even though we had to delay it a day because she got the flu.
She was spoiled by everyone (thanks everyone for the fun toys!) and loved her tricycle. She loved blowing bubbles with Grandpa and playing on the slide with all her cousins and friends. Thanks everyone for such a fun evening!

Slide

Kate got a slide for her birthday (she loves slides). Her birthday isn't until Thursday, but we wanted to get the slide set up earlier. She was so excited and started going down it before we even had the frame built. Just wait until we get the hose out and a pool at the bottom :)

Chalk

One of Kate's favorite things to do is color with chalk. It was nice and cool this morning, so we decorated the back porch. Kate kept asking me to draw Mickey, of course her favorite.
