GREY DANIEL TURNS TWO

Seriously? How is it that Grey is already two? Good thing I'm as old as I am, or I would totally be convincing Marc that we need to have another baby.

Saturday the 14th, was Grey's Big Day. That morning, we worked at the Farmer's Market (in the rain), and then that evening, we had some friends over for dinner to help us celebrate.

After the Market, I ran to the store to pick up the cake that I had ordered. It was a big hit with both boys. Luke loved telling Grey all about it.

Then Grey would tell Luke all about it.

Grey loved the Baseball.

In this pic, he's saying the word "Baseball"

Happy Birthday little Slugger!

As our guests were arriving, I tried to get some pics of Grey...

... but he was always on the move.

We invited the Myers', the Walker's, and the Usas'. Miss Brenda had so much fun playing with Luke and his tricycle.

Silly Mr. Keith.

Luke loved the ride, eventually. He wasn't sure of it at first, so Miss Brenda went Real Slow.

Finally, it was time for dinner. Marc had made Ribs, and we all eagerly dug in. Neither one of the boys are big meat eaters, so I didn't even think to give the Birthday Boy a rib. About 15 minutes into the meal, he has pointing at one and saying "Want". So I gave him one.

Pretty sure he liked it. So glad I had my camera to capture that experience.

Then, with our tummy's full, it was all about Grey. Here's his cake.

Marc had to hold him back - not sure if it was grabbing for the candles or digging into the cake.

He loved everyone singing to him.

In these next four pics, he's also singing.

This is my FAVORITE picture of the night!!!

Daddy helped with the candle blowing.

Both Grey and Luke wasted no time digging in.

Rick was kind enough to take a couple of family shots for us.

Grey was intent on sharing with Me.

The icing, of course, was his favorite part.

He's got a fistful of icing in his right hand.

Eventually, he got an actual piece of the cake, and he dug right in.

Then it was present time. Definitely has the unwrapping down pat.

Checking out his new movie.

A way cool sand shovel.

A bunch of new beach toys.

At this point, it was way past their normal bed time, so we put their pajamas on and put them to bed, even though our guests were still here. Well, that didn't last long. Grey would not stop screaming and crying. I thought Miss Bonnie was going to go out of her mind. Unlike me, she can not stand to hear a child cry. After about 20 minutes, we let the boys come out and watch their new movie.

Grey was very content to snuggle with Daddy. They both lasted about 15 minutes before they had calmed down and were ready to go to bed for good.

Happy Second Birthday, Grey Daniel!!!! Mommy, Daddy and Luke love you Bunches!!!
