Caleb's 2nd Birthday

Birthday Boy



A certain boy I know recently turned two and had a pretty fun birthday party to celebrate it!  My fab friend and photographer was there to take some great pictures for us at the tractor party at the Little Gym.  This was the first party I have had away from home and this one was a huge success!  There was room for everyone and the kids had a blast.  The girls from the Little Gym were very good to work with too!

Digging into the cake and ice cream

"Fresh Cut Fields": I made these cupcakes and found these cute tractor cupcake toppers on Etsy.  

Country picnic theme

Our friend Cassie made these awesome cake pops for us that were as yummy as they were cute.

We probably didn't need more sweets but who could resist some hay bales?

Caleb is 2!
The boys had not been to the Little Gym before but they loved it!

Great place for climbers and dare devils like my two.


Momentary pause

Loving the balance beam

This was the funniest thing - my shy little Adam would run up the incline mat, do some big jump from the top, land and then put his hands on his hips, shoulders back (big ending) and face his audience!  So cute!  We were all so surprised!  I later found out that his preschool camp had been playing "Olympics" in the gym so I guess that is where it came from.

It must be nice to have a big brother help you do everything!  

Walking, then running in a circle led by the birthday boy

Splat!

Parachute time!

Big inflatable thing - this was really fun!

What's on my Camera?

I could do something like this every day for a year and not feel caught up!  Just wanted to share some recent pictures of the boys from this summer.

Hanging out by the new playset - Caleb's and Adam's birthday present from us this year. 

Squeeze!

Hanging out up here while Daddy cuts the grass.

Not so little boy

Cute face




Caleb is really into this weird series of looks which were kinda scary the first time I saw them, haha!  He stares, then does the strange corner-of-his-eye thing.  Now it is a family joke and he and Adam do it to make each other laugh!

Looking for my eye in the camera - whatever works!

Mamaw moved to Lexington this month! The boys are really glad to have her so close. 
Bonus: Mamaw's new house has a pool!  Nana has been helping Adam learn to swim all summer, and now he hardly even uses his life jacket! He loves it, and does so well!  


Caleb likes it too when he is up for it.

'Til next time!
