Birthday party fun

We had a great party today with family, friends, and lots of cars!  But first a few things about our little guy on his 2nd birthday.

• He loves, loves, loves, cars.  We carry them everywhere.  I always have several in my purse and sometimes he even sleeps with his cars.
• He is all boy.  He toots and burps and he thinks its hilarious.
• He always wants to go somewhere in mama car or dada car.
• He is so funny.  I am constantly laughing at little things he does.  He fake yawns and always tells us everything is cold while fake shivering.
• He loves to be outside.  We are always going on walks, feeding the ducks, and going to the park.
• All water is the pool.  Baths, ponds, and actual pools.
• He loves to make car and animal noises or motions but not your typical animals.  No mooing or barking for this kid. 

Now for pictures from the party.  We had a cars bounce house and it was a big hit.  The video is mostly on Terry's phone but he was super excited when he saw it.


Terry and I decided on a last minute Target trip that we should all dress the same.

Hanging out with Grandpa right before he popped this balloon.

Owen was so excited to give Cason his present.



He liked when we sang Happy Birthday to him but he didn't want the cupcake.  He wanted a chip.

Grandma D and Aunt Glenda.  We were so glad Aunt Glenda extended her visit and came to the party!

Sorry for this pic Uncle B.  These glasses freaked Cason out.  He wasn't really a fan.

Notice Cason isn't around.  Terry caught playing with the new toys. :)

    We had so much fun and were so glad we got to enjoy his birthday with friends and family.

The Big 2!

 

Cason turned 2 today!  Most of the day was pretty normal with grocery shopping, naps, etc.  But his big treat was going to Cabela's and finally getting to pick out his own truck/boat combo.  Cason loves Cabelas.  Its good and bad that we live about 2 minutes away from one.  We have to pass by it to go pretty much anywhere which typically results in Cason on the verge of tears.  For now telling him the boats are sleeping seems to work, but some day he will figure it out.

 

I don't know when exactly he became so obsessed with the boats.  We realized he really loved them when he brought Terry his boots, said dada car, and started saying boat boat (its always twice) and making his fish face.  I was pretty excited too because they headed out and I was home alone. :)

 

This was his face when we turned in the parking lot.

We have a rule that we hold hands in parking lots and near streets but he took off running and Terry is trying to catch up.

 

He cannot wait!

 

When we walk in he always points at all the animals.  He goes and finds all the bears first and growls at them.  Then he finds the turkeys and other animals.  Next we make fish faces at the fish. 

 

At some point on one of the trips he discovered these and remembered exactly where they were located.  Today he picked this one out.  Best day ever!

 

He didn't want either of us to touch it.  He insisted on dragging it in the house.
