More Arbon Adventures

   Kabree headed to see the horses with Grandpa

 Kabree loved petting their noses


 Kabree wanted to pet a baby horse so bad
but they would never let her get close enough : )

   Kabree loves horses and was very excited when Sunday after church her Grandpa Vance told her he would take her to see the horses after her nap.  As soon as she woke up, she sat up straight and said "Grandpa, horses".  She LOVED walking through all of the mares and seeing the new babies.  She thought it was pretty neat that the horses would sniff her and let her pet their noses.  Kabree loved that they would swarm around her and Grandpa and follow them through the pasture.
 Wow, mud puddles
 Grandma come on, come on!


 See Grandma it's fun!

  Kabree loves jumping in puddles and this time of year Grandpa Vances and Grandma JoAnn's yard has LOTS!  Kabree has so much fun when others will come play with her in the water, she was so excited when Grandma and Morgan joined her.  She thought it was great when Morgan would jump with her, she had a blast.  She thought the worm Larin showed her was neat until she touched it and realized it was slimy, then she threw it in the water, so Larin picked it up and handed it to her again, she threw it at him that time and said "no, Larin".

Kabree 2yr Photos











    My friend Ad took Kabree's 2 year pictures last Friday on Kabree's birthday, it was pretty cold and Kabree was not in the best picture mood.  But I think they still turned out pretty dang cute and I cannot believe how big she looks, my little Miss Kabree is not so little anymore.

Kabree's 2nd Birthday Party

Zach, Kabree & Jessi 
Kabree LOVED the Backyardigans on her cake!

   I know there is a lot of pictures of the cake but I'm just so excited of how it turned out, my Mom did such a good job on the characters that my part was so easy and Kabree loved it.  I had told my Mom I wanted to do a Backyardigans cake but didn't no what I should do and she said she thought maybe she could try making them out of clay so I could just stick them on, well as you can see they turned out far better then I ever could have imagined.  I tried for the first time doing a raspberry filled cake, I was a little nervous it would slide but it turned out great and didn't taste too bad either : )!  I have to say I love the new vibrant food coloring it made the frosting on the cupcakes so fun and I'm glad I made the two sizes, the mini's were perfect for the little ones.
 The Pretty Birthday Girl!

  I felt kind of bad because as soon as we got to the park Kabree just wanted to play and run around.  This was the first time to the park this year so Kabree just wanted to have fun on the slide.  She had a hard time wanting to come back over and open gifts and do cake.  We decided to let the other kids help her open gifts to keep it moving.  I think Kabree was a little overwhelmed with all the people and excitement of the park.  Everyone was really great about it though.  She got way too much and was very spoiled by everyone!

 I think the kids really liked the cupcakes and I made tons so there was plenty for them to have a few each. Justice I think ate like 10 all by himself, he would look around to see if Heather was looking, then go up and grab another one.  It was pretty cute and on his behalf they were the mini ones.

  We had such a good time at Kabree's birthday party and are so glad so many people got to come.  We think she is one very special little girl and is loved by so many people.  Some of Kabree's birth family was able to come and celebrate with us and we are so grateful for all of them for coming and sharing her special day with us.  I wish I would be better about taking pictures of everyone.  We love them so much especially Keri and Spencer if it wasn't for them we would not even have our Little Miss Kabree and her birthday is such a bittersweet reminder of the day she was born and the day Keri and Spencer placed her in our arms.
