TWO YEARS!

This is an extension of the beach trip... breaking the trip up into segments. To check out putt-putt see my sister's blog.

July 15th did not only mark opening night of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, it was also a celebration of a little life that entered the world 2 years ago. I could go on and on about how I can't believe our little man is two, but at the same time I feel like he's been with us forever. Or I could go on and on about how I feel like every other day he changes drastically and we are just doing our best to keep up (and not ruin him in the process). Or I could tell you about tantrums (mine, not his) or I could tell you about the best sweet wet kisses and hugs in the world (this time his, though mine are pretty good too) or I could just show you pics from his 2nd birthday... and so I shall, because, well I am the mama and that is my right...

For his birthday dinner, we had his favorite.. PIZZA (my fav as well)! We knew if we had pizza there would be no dinner meltdowns. He wouldn't even look up for the picture.. MUST EAT PIZZA!


Liam LOVES anything with wheels... so the theme of the party was Thomas (in case you can't tell from the pics below)

Check out that loot! If you wrap every single thing separately it really looks like a lot! First gift was PJs... he wasn't exactly excited about those.


oooo.. and shake 'n go Lightening!


ooooooo TRAINS!

Not really sure what possessed us to try to get all the kids together for a picture... because you know that right after opening presents first thing a 2 yr old wants to do is pose.

Liam watching Anna touch his trains

Keeping an eye on that train

Josh getting in on the action!

Liam with his presents and birthday cupcakes... by the way... he would not eat them. So I stepped up allowed the cupcakes to take up residence in my belly!

First thing Liam did when he woke up the next morning...
