Wrynly's Birthday!!!

Wrynly loves balloons, so I thought it would be so fun to fill her whole room with them for her 2nd birthday! I got the cheap $19.90 helium tank from Wal-mart and 80 balloons of her favorite colors and went to town blowing them up last night!  I got half way through the ones for the ceiling when I read on the tank that they would only last a few hours... so I saved the rest to do in the morning. We couldn't help but take this sweet picture of her in her bed with no idea what awaited her in the morning!  We have video of her waking up to find the balloons posted on my Face Book wall if anyone is interested to see her reaction!

She had an absolute BLAST playing with the balloons... it also helps that she has an awesome and child-like father who played with her in them for a good 30 minutes! She was giggling and chattering, kicking and throwing, just loving it!

 After balloon time, Wrynly helped dad make us waffles for breakfast!  She helped dad mix all the ingredients and put the batter into the waffle iron.  She loves to dip her waffle in syrup or whipped cream and absolutely has to have chocolate milk to go with it.  She loves to help cook, empty the dishwasher, make a mess, pretty much anything!

 For a fun activity, we went down to Sandy to pick up Grandma Linda and went to the Aquarium.  She had so much fun pushing around her new baby in the stroller that Grandma got for her. Her favorite exhibits were the jelly-fish that changed colors with the lighting, the penguins, and the sting-rays.  She got to pet a sting-ray today... there was one that loved attention. It would just make its rounds around the pool and whenever a hand was near, it would surface and let you touch it!  She was so worn out after all the fun that when we got home she took a good nap!

After waking up, we went to eat at Chick-Fil-A where she got her picture taken with the cow.  We came home and the neighbor kids were out playing, so of course she had to play too. They are a little older, around 10 & 6, and they love to ride their bikes. Wrynly didn't care that she can't ride a bike, she just ran after them yelling "FAST... FAST.... FAST", having to pull her pants up every fifty feet because they kept slipping down.  When it was time to come inside, Grandma Susan, Grandpa Bill and Uncle Marcus came over to give Wrynly her birthday present. Marcus played in the balloons with her and made her laugh so hard! She has a totally different laugh when she is tired and you can definitely tell she was slap-happy! After they left, Jarom read her a story and put her to bed. PHEW! What a long and fun day! 

I am so grateful to have this little nugget in my life! She has been so much fun, ever changing and learning and showing me what life is really all about. I can't believe it has been 2 years already!! Happy Birthday Little Girl!!
