Ansley's Birthday

On the morning of Ansley's actual birthday (4th of July), Jason surprised us with blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes!  Yay!  We sang happy birthday again, blew out the candles, and burnt a little bit of her bangs. 
Yes...you heard me right.  As I was holding her, singing, I just blew a little too hard to help her with the last candle...and sszzzz.  That's right....mommy burnt some of her hair.  Thankfully, it sizzled for only a second and everything was fine.  It smelled like burnt hair, but all was good....she didn't know the difference AND we got a really funny video.  Maybe one of these days I'll put it on here. ;)

Later that afternoon we went to the Beel's cabin where Ansley experienced a lot of firsts.  She fished by herself with her new Barbie fishing pole and caught 3 tiny frogs with her pink net. She touched and got up close and personal with a fish that Jason had caught and held her first sparkler (with help of course...we were not prepared for any more Michael Jackson moments).   
She's watching Jason swim the lake (lap 4 at this point)...he's such a stud!
She would say everytime he came around, "what's daddy doing?"
My response..."he's still swimming!" 
Her sweet little tacklebox, net, and lure keeper she got from the Beels.  She loved it!

Oh, that poor little frog....
What a precious little hand
Miss Thing always wants her sunglasses on.
And here is the hilarious part...the adorable knee bend that she had going on.  So intense!
Reeling a big one in! Ha!

Ansley's second birthday was a hit!!
