I Dig Being 2!

Today we had Brennan's 2nd birthday party. It was a lot of fun. We had eight toddlers and four babies here celebrating along with lots of Mommies and Daddies and even an Aunt Kathryn! I wanted to share some pictures from the party. I hope to come back later and give you more details on parts of the party, but you can enjoy these for now!

I just wanted the kids to be able to play, play, play in the basement, so we put a ton of different toys down there. You can also see some of the signs I made trying to keep the construction theme consistent.

Here the kids could have races.

B's train table - this ended up being a favorite activity

We brought B's workbench downstrairs.

I put play-doh on this table, but we didn't play with it. Kids did sit at the table though.

We put the Mega Blocks down there.

Even the little kids were able to enjoy the car ramp.

Kyle put this house together last night from a refrigerator box!

Here's Brennan's "jump jump" that he got for his bday!

The ceiling was lined with tissue paper pom-poms and balloons.

When the kids came in, they each received a hard hat and an apron. 

The overflowing food table! Lots of yummy eats!

Here are some pictures of the kids having fun at the party!

"Organized" chaos!

Erin on the jump jump.

I love this shot of B coming out of his house. He LOVES his new cardboard house!
We had stickers and markers for the kids to decorate the house.

Oh, Parker!

Ethan spent most of the party at the train table!

Sweet Emma!

Baby Camryn!

McKenna had fun playing basketball.

Baby Rowan!

After lots of playing and a little bit of eating dinner (I mean who really wants to stop playing to eat??), we sang "Happy Birthday" to Brennan. He wasn't too excited about it and needed help blowing out his candles, but he LOVED eating his dirt cake!

Then it was time to open presents!

It's always good to have friends who want to help!

B got a super sweet police car from Parker!

Thanks to everyone who came to Brennan's party and helped make it a memorable event!

Brennan and Abby

I babysat the daughter of a couple from our church today. Her Momma is a nurse and worked night shift last night and needed to get a little sleep today. I was happy to help. Abby is such a happy baby. I thought she might be able to teach B how to crawl, but no luck! :)

Here are some pictures. They were just taken on my phone, so they aren't good quality, but I thought Abby's Momma would enjoy them!

Brennan kept wanting to get in Abby's car seat!

Abby also liked playing with her car seat!

Abby has the same music table at her house.

Don't mind my creepy eyes; they both wanted to be in my lap!

Take 2.

Abby did a great job eating her lunch!

Two cute kiddos!

Abby army crawls around everywhere!

It was a gorgeous day, so we took a walk.
I pushed B in the stroller and Abby rode in the Ergo!
It was a workout for me for sure!

Brennan and Parker

We had friends over for dinner last night and I finally remembered to pull the camera out and get some pictures of Brennan and Parker playing together. So without further delay, here is Parker's debut on the blog!
