The Big Birthday Boy!

It's hard to believe it's already been 2 years since this little guy was born!

These were taken in the hospital the day after he was born.  

2 years later and growing like a weed!  Happy Birthday to my sweet boy! Just look at that happy face!

I decided that instead of ordering a cake this year, I'd make one from scratch, icing and all.  Wasn't sure if I could do it, but I certainly surprised myself.  I was so pleased.  It tasted amazing and matched his Hot Wheels party theme perfectly!

Trenton sat there so sweetly as we sang to him and then he blew out the candles.  I even found race car candles :)

Love this picture.  After he opened all his presents, he was saying thank you to everyone.  I kept pointing to different areas of the room and he kept repeating it.  What a cutie!

Bright-eyed Madison!  She's growing up too fast as well...

We got him a 6 lane speedway for Hot Wheels and he got other track sets that attach to it.  We've been having races every day.  I don't know who's more excited over racing cars.... the kids or Daddy!

We also got him his Britax big boy carseat/booster seat like Brooklyn has.  I don't know why we spend money on presents... they just like the boxes better anyway.  This has been their washing machine, dishwasher, house, etc.  Such imaginations!

Since he had his party early, we had to celebrate his actual birthday today.  Kurt is sick so we couldn't go out anywhere.  I made his day special at home instead.

We made sock puppets

And they put on a puppet show.

I made them happy cakes for lunch (smiley face pancakes)

We played cars

Madison had some tummy time while we watched the Cars movie.

And we made a batch of granola bars.  They love granola bars, but I don't like feeding them high fructose corn syrup which is found in the ones at the store...  They are so easy to make!  Oats, nuts, dried fruit, coconut, flax seed, handful of chocolate chips...  Yumm!

 I'd say he had a pretty good day!  Happy Birthday Trenton!  We love you!
