festivities!



About a week ago some friends invited us to come on a tour of the Andersen Dairy plant, notice the cow? I think you have to sign up to go, but here's their website. It's geared toward preschoolers and Aria loved it!





She's becoming quite independent and LOVED, Did I say loved? the ice cream.









This is her friend Katelyn who invited us.









Aria and I have been having fun exercising together. I think it's hilarious... Just a moment before she was attempting to do push-ups with me. This puts an all new meaning on 'Child's Pose'.










We got a few packages early so because she is so young, I decided to let her open one present from Grandma early. she loves it!

Then Daddy and I took her out to get her favorite meal for her birthday... Macaroni and Cheese and Ice Cream. I have to say that my favorite meal isn't much different.... They brought her out a sundae and sang to her. She blew out a candle for the first time on her own. I can't believe my baby is two!

New trike from Grandma...


Blowing out candles and eating mac and cheese.









I love this picture of Aria and her Daddy.


















This is Aria's best friend. She loves spending time with Juliet. They ran around like crazy in the wind at her party.

I made these little cupcake lady bugs. I got the idea from the today show? I think where they did a giant cake in the shape of a lady bug, so I did a little research. They didn't have eyes or anything, but I think they turned out cute. I used chocolate chips for the spots... upside down and I used about 1 and 1/2 little containers of red dye to get it this red.
I let her have treats... TWO suckers... because she's two!
Here they are singing happy birthday to her! It was so fun, despite the wind.
Aria has lately had an obsession with babies. she's always making sure that they're okay and giving them loves, toys whatever she thinks they need. This is baby Alexis. Thanks for the photos Jasmine.
Despite the EXTREMELY windy conditions, I think the party was a success. I had a good time and I know Aria did.

The party was a lot of fun. I'm glad you got a better picture of Aria and Juliet running in the wind...despite my efforts, mine weren't great. They were so cute and funny! I think all the kids had a great time.

You are a great mom!! How fun. Aria is beautiful, and getting so big. Can't believe it. Love the pic of the girls running in the wind and the one with Aria shoveling in the ice cream. :) So cute.

I got a good laugh out of 'child's pose.' That's awesome! Way to go, Yoga lady.

To better suit my purposes, I have decided to make this more of a journal. That's what it is anyway, but I see no reason to allow random people to see it. I am going *private* Please leave your email if you are even a casual observer at the happenings in the Pettit household. You are welcome any time. The change will happen one month from today.
