Kyler's 2nd Birthday

Well I cannot believe it has been 2 years since our little man entered this world and forever changed our lives!!  We had an awesome celebration with friends and family today. Originally we were going to have a BBQ and hoped to be outside however the weather had other plans and we had a huge thunderstorm and random power outages.  We did the party inside, I think the final count of people was 18 crammed in our little house.  Surprisingly it didn't feel to crowded it was cozy but I think everyone had a good time. 

We did a Cars themed party, Lightning McQueen is kind of a hero in our house right now so he was pretty excited about the décor.  Here's some pics of the party décor.

 
And of course I'm a little crazy and had to have fun and label all the food to go along with the theme (Thank you Pinterest)
 








And we can't forget the awesome cake Grandma Cathy made!


Kyler had a blast with all his friends and was putting on quite a show and played hard.  What an awesome little guy he gains new friends and family everywhere he goes :)  Was happy to have his two adopted uncles (Brandon and Tress) share in the day with us, but definitely missed Uncle Matt and Uncle Justin!!

Kyler didn't know what to think about the cake and candles and everyone singing to him, but by the end of singing he was singing with everyone it was pretty cute.  His expressions were precious as he was looking around noticing that everyone was singing to him.  He blew out his candles like a champ.




 
 
 
Presents were much more fun this year as he understood what they were, a few times before we opened them he would go over and check them out hoping he could see what was in them.  He was quite excited about the cars and four wheelers he got and wanted "Help" opening them right away.
 
 


These four wheelers are pretty cool, but there is something else in there that might be cool too...

This monster is squishy and lights up when you hit it.

The lizard was soft like the blue monster so he figured it should probably light up and kept trying to squish it between his hands to get it to light up, it was pretty funny.


Grandma and Grandpa buy cool cards, what 2 year old looks at cards? This one does if it's Yo Gabba Gabba :)

The squishy monster is lots of fun!
 
 

 
Quick break for some cake but we need all our new cars and four wheelers, such a boy.
 
 
Taking a little break after everyone left, he was so exhausted!
 
 
After bath time Daddy helped us put his new bubble mower together from Grandma and Grandpa.

 
 
 
It was quite a hit he ran back and forth and back and forth with it (no bubbles yet, we'll add those later :) )
 
 
 
After a while he realized it was making cool sounds and he became interested in where it was coming from and how it was working so he would run with it and get it going and then get down and watch and study it.
 
Overall I would say we had an excellent day, we missed our friends and family in Montana, but are so blessed to have the new friends and the family we have down here. Love you all and thank you to everyone who made his day so special!
 
And now Baby Sister can arrive any time now!! Mommy and Daddy are ready :)
