Daxton's 2nd Birthday Party

I can't believe he is already two! The years are flying by!! Here are a few pics from the party:

{I'm posting more of the decoration pictures next week on my Sweet Treats blog}

{This was the only present he was interested in opening during the party}

{Shawnee was such a good sport. She was the only one to pose by the characters}

{The next two pictures were actually the day after the party}

{And these are him enjoying a cupcake during the party}

The Party is OVER, but...

That doesn't mean we have to stop celebrating!

We forgot to sing happy birthday to Dax yesterday at the party, so we decided to let him blow out the candles today!

I'll add some more pictures from the party tomorrow. 

Happy Early Birthday...

We gave in... 

We found this AWESOME train set tonight at the store {on sale BTW}. Both me & Morgan were pretty excited about it. The second we brought it in the door, Dax gave us the 'I'm sick and really need a new toy to make me happy' look. So we gave it to him...

He'll still have plenty to play with. Besides, look how happy he is:

Oh!!! And check out these cute peanut butter faced pictures of Dax.

{He hasn't eaten in three days, so while we were at the doctor today, they gave him some anti-nausea medicine. He really wanted peanut butter & crackers} 

Helpin' Grandpa! {Well... sort of}

My father-in-law ordered a pile of dirt for the backyard. {He's landscaping the yard so it will look nice for Shyla's upcoming wedding!!} He came down stairs to let us know, so Dax could see the big truck deliver it. I didn't get any pictures of him watching the truck dump the dirt, but I got some cute 'after' pictures:

There now is a giant pile of dirt that will eventually need to be leveled out around the sides of the yard...

Dax thought he'd pitch in and move a few mini shovel's full

Then we played by the fire pit. He loves to climb on the rocks!

I'm so glad we're getting nicer days! You better believe we'll be spending 90% of our time outside! 

What Daddy Doesn't know...

When Morgan goes to school, we have a party. We eat junk food, ignore bed times, and even dance around like wild people. It gets pretty crazy around here...

Here are the pictures to prove it:

{I don't know if you can tell, but this is him mid-air!}

He calls his blankie his 'dress' when it's wrapped around him. 

Don't tell Morgan!

Standing on his head... typical boy.

???

Nothing like running in circles with your face covered by 

a blanket!

This. Is. The. Evil. Face.

'Oooooooh!'

Morgan would be so jealous if he knew about our little mid-week parties!!

The. Petting. Zoo.

My sister in law called this morning to see if we wanted to go to a little petting zoo today.

It seemed like a good idea. I sent Dax outside with his Grandma, and jumped in the shower. When they brought him back in, she told me he was terrified of the neighbor's 2 pound dog....

All of a sudden I had this image of Dax screaming and running away from the bunnies and chickens at the petting zoo... 

Boy, do I know my son, or what?

These are the only two pictures I could get that didn't have him screaming....

In his defense... Those baby bunnies were terrifying!! :0) 

Finally!!! Nice Weather!!!

The high was 42 degrees today!!!

{I know everyone from California is thinking I've gone crazy, but the sun was out, there was no wind, and it was BEAUTIFUL outside!}

Here are some 'ok' pictures. Dax just refused to look toward the camera... AND we discovered the self timer! I can be in pictures!!! 

Dax: 'Should I kick the garage door?'

Dax: 'Yeah... I'm gunna do it!'

Me: 'What do you think you are doing mister?'

Dax: 'So Busted!'

Nothin' like throwing rocks.... 

This is him running towards me at full speed yelling, 'I'M GET YOU MOM!!!!' 

Hope you all get a kick out of these. Next time I'll try harder to get him to look at the camera. I was distracted by the nice weather. Maybe it will hold out for his birthday.... probably not, but a girl can hope. :0)
