Happy 2nd Birthday Brayden

Happy Birthday Brayden!

Happy Birthday to my sweet baby! It seems like yesterday that he was just a tiny little baby in my arms.. now his legs hang over mine when I rock him! We are so thankful to have such a sweet boy. He is the best thing that has ever happened to us! We Love you Brayden!

Brayden first thing in the morning.. Super happy It's his birthday!

I think I sang or said Happy Birthday to Brayden all day! I would ask his how old he was and after some hints... he was saying "two, two , two..." He even got it into a little song and dance. Faron took Bray to the park while I finished up some stuff, then we loaded up and headed to the Party.It was a small family party. Our plans for the zoo didn't pan out due to Tropical Storm Fay.. (it was flooded.) We ended up just having it at my sister's house( Thanks for all your help Katie!). It was just Katie , Jack and Travis, my parents, and Faron's brother Chad and nephew Brandon, who drove like 4 hours to be there.. THANKS guys! It really meant a lot to us!

Not so happy on the way to the party.... nap opportunity missed ..

Singing a different tune when we arrived at and Katie's and he was given his birthday balloonsHe LOVES balloons! Thanks Aunt Katie and Grammie and Papa!The Birthday stash! and that's not even everything!

It was off to a rocky start for me in the morning, but it really turned out to be a great party. My dad made this awesome shrimp and pasta dinner and the cupcakes were awesome! I had a lady at work cut out 2's and I made the little cupcake picks.. . I was happy how they turned out.We did learn that we are not going to try to do anything big parties again , until he asks for it... it just leads to disappointment on my end.

Travis' party favor Trying to figure out hot to use the "blow out" Wrong end buddy!Travy!
Lots of playing before dinner was ready
What???? It's my birthday!
Let's Party!
Cupcakes!

The shirt came off ( by brayden's request... which was a smart move!) and it was time to dig in!

I touched up some of these pics b/c I thought they were sooo cute! I think they turned out pretty good!

Brayden and Travis had a ball playing and eating cupcakes. They didn't always want to share at present time ( both were going off of a day with out naps), but managed to still have a blast together.I love this one! Opening presents..........
Travis breaking Brayden's new Car's couch that Grammie and Pap got him
The "hit" of the party... this is the coolest toy! Thanks Uncle Chad and Brandon ( Debbie too!)

We ended the night with a "Rave" in our living room. We had some glow sticks that I bought, and brayden accidentally dropped the bag and the box opened and they became partially activated.. SO... we had to use them. We turned off the lights and put on some dance music and jammed out with our glow sticks. Brayden had so much fun.. when I turned the lights back on.. he was yelling.. "lights off!" I guess it will have to become a family tradition ... haha

Thanks to everyone ... Brayden got so much nice stuff! He LOVES everything!!! Along with lots of toys , he got tons of clothes from us and Katie and Grammie and Papa, and Aunt Amy and Uncle Chad and Emily sent Brayden the cutest PJ's... thanks guys( We loved the card too)!

We really appreciate all his cards in the mail.. he had fun looking at them.. and the money was nice too! Oh.. and thanks for all the Birthday calls.. it was so nice to talk to everyone!
