I’m a little behind on the personal blogging so I thought I’d do a little posty post on this beautiful Saturday of Indie’s first birthday party that we road tripped to Wisconsin for. A first birthday of awesomeness because Indie was born on St. Patrick’s Day, how cool is that! So these are some pictures of while we were then…we’ll do another post of the actual party and roadtrip because 24 hours of travel in a period of 4 days, with a two year old to boot, equals funny pictures:)
the svelte nana!

cute cheeks and shark eyes. the indie bear.

they took me to trader joes. i stocked up on almond butter and then tried their hummus at the party and realized I should have stocked up on that too! I’m now planning all my trips around Trader Joe’s and Ikea:)

then we loaded up Lena’s cart with the important stuff…bwahahaha!

quick story for memory purposes: Lena loves penguins. all penguins. but especially the one’s from Madagascar. So we found this one right before we went on our trip and it talked, not when you squeezed it but with motion. So the whole entire trip all we heard with every slight movement of the car was “cute and cuddly boys”, “soldier, you can share a foxhole with me anytime”. Needless to say the penguin lost his voice a few days ago and no one is mourning the loss:) The penguin was also the first cousin rivalry so by the end of the trip we had found Indie one too. Love these pictures. Love that they capture one of her favorite toys and the hands on the cheeks in the first one:)
