Summer's 2 Year Photo Shoot!!!

Summer's 2 year photo shoot was with Ms. Amber a neighbor and friend down the street. Summer did great! We were able to use 4 outfits and go to 3 locations. I just love these photos!!!They capture Summer's personality and spirit so well! Summer's 2 year old self is so grown up.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.....

Pictures from Summer's Party from Ms. Debbie!

Ms. Debbie next door had her camera handy the night before Summer's Birthday so she took these sweet ones of her outside. Then Debbie came to the party the next day and snapped some cute ones as well.

Just on a side note-most if not all of my pictures have been recovered off my memory card! YAY! Thanks to Daniel at my sister's work! What a relief! So look for lots more posts coming soon.

Happy 2nd Birthday Summer!! May 1, 2011

The long awaited 2nd Birthday post!

I am sure everyone knows how busy this past week and really month has been. Since Summer's Birthday on May 1st we have celebrated my Mom's Birthday, my Sister's Birthday (Aunt Lis), I got a new car and we celebrated Mother's Day! In between all of those we had Mother's Day and Field Day at Mommy and Me and Summer's 2 year Dr Appointment! It makes me tired just thinking about it.

I did start earlier in the week on the blog post but had a major technical difficulty. I was downloading pictures when something happened to my memory card. Don't worry I am not crying as I type this...although it was a new memory card that I started using on Summer's birthday so it has ALL of the above events pictures on it. I have good faith that my sister's IT person is going to figure it out. So not if full panic mode yet.

Luckily, my Mom had a handful of pictures, at least from Summer's Birthday so you will get something to look at and not just a post of me babbling on! I will (notice my confidence) have some other posts on these events once my memory card is recovered!

As for Summer's birthday party it was fabulous! I think our sweet girl had the best time and all of her little friends did too! We had a backyard picnic with Hot Dogs (of course-Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog-that's the closing song of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in case you don't watch the show), hamburgers, Mickey Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches and all kinds of sides. Summer and her friends got to bounce in a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Bounce House, blow bubbles, play in a tunnel, use hula hoops and play with other various outdoor toys! We had toddler tables covered for coloring but it was so hot that the crayons started to melt. It was a high of 82 but I think it got hotter then that.

Summer loved the Minnie cupcakes and she enjoyed eating hers and then when I put down half of mine she gobbled that right up as well! Oh well she was the birthday princess!

Thanks to my wonderful husband, Mom, Dad and sister for all their help with Summer's party!

Here's some pictures of the fun day:

I worked hard on this Mickey Birthday banner that kept blowing around. I think in my camera there is one good shot of it up perfectly (thanks to my Mom) before it kept getting blown by the wind!

Food time!

Summer had on her birthday shirt-a number 2 with Minnie ears and her name written on it in the Disney font!

I think my "ears" were meant for the kids only! :) My sweet girl is 2!!!! Oh how the time flies!

The bounce house from above!

Tom even surprised Summer and I by wearing his ears! He is such a good Daddy! The food was wonderful and we appreciate all his hard word for the party!

Summer and Mom-Mom! Thanks again for sending me these pics!

The Mickey Cake and Minnie Cupcakes made by my Mom! Yummy!

Summer knows the Happy Birthday song. She thinks that we are singing it to her every time!
Of course this time we were and she was thrilled! Her hat matches her shirt!

Yummy cupcake!

After a bath, a nap and an outfit change it was time to open presents! Summer got this dollhouse from Mom-Mom and Pops!

Aunt Lis got Summer a Tag Jr and some fun clothes!

Mama and Dada got Summer lots of gifts but her big gift was a Barbie Volkswagen PowerWheels Bug. Of course I couldn't resist getting this for her (I had 2 bugs before my Mommy days). Summer loves it! She is still learning about the steering part but she really gets the foot on the pedal part!

Here's the one picture I did get downloaded before something went wrong! I love my family so much! Happy Birthday to my sweet Summer Lynn!

Happy 2nd Birthday Summer Lynn! May 1, 2011

Happy 2nd Birthday Summer!

We just can't believe that Summer is two today. What an amazing 2 years it has been and this past year has been full of more changes and growing up. She is always so busy and loves to do so much. Summer loves to play pretend...in her kitchen, as a dog, and with her Little People. She loves Mickey and Minnie and the gang in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She hasn't forgotten about Elmo. Elmo books are her favorite. She loves to read and has memorized parts of her favorite books! Summer knows the colors pink, yellow and purple. She mixes up blue and green and doesn't know red yet. She loves to sing songs and counts past 10! Summer is always surprising us with something new she knows.

Summer is also the most polite baby I know. She says please and thank you all the time. For Mama she has 3 names depending on what she is saying. Mama hears, "Thank You Mama" all day. When Mama sneezes it's "Mommy, Bless You" and when Mama tells her something it's "Okay Mom". Most of the other times it's Mama. It just the sweetest to hear everyday.

She melts her Dada's heart every day. When Summer says, "Please Dada" she can get anything. He can't say no to his sweet girl. I would say she has her Dada wrapped around her little finger. That just melts my heart.

Summer also has her version of I love you, "Lovey you". It is the sweetest thing to hear, especially when she says it on her own.

She continues to stay busy with "Mommy and Me", Swim Lessons, Gymnastics and Gymboree. She also enjoys playing with Emmy 2 days a week. She knows that we pick Emmy up at her school and every time we pass the school she says, "Get Emmy?". They have a lot of fun.

As you can tell Summer is talking more and more. Everyday she says something new and puts together sentences. She likes to tell us when she is excited to do something and asks questions. She also can tell us what she likes. Of course the word No is coming out of her mouth more as she finds her independence. Also with getting closer to being 2 and being a girl she is getting picky about what she wants to wear and what shoes. Not sure if I am ready for that. I have had fun dressing her up as my real life baby doll!

I guess I could go on and on about my sweet girl that I love so much. However, I have a fabulous Mickey Mouse Party that I must continue to get ready for! You know there will be lots of pictures coming soon.

Happy Birthday Summer Lynn Zimmerman!!!! We love you so much!!!
