Jett is officially in the terrible two's...

Yep, my baby turned 2. I don't know when this happened. I could swear that his first b'day party was only a few months ago! I feel like once I had my son that my life jumped onto an escalator- and it keeps moving faster & faster!

Jett's birthday party was a Mickey Mouse theme. He discovered "Bickey" (what it sounds like when he says it) about a month ago and has been obsessed since. The funny thing is that I was a huge Mickey Mouse fan when I was his age and my first 2 or 3 birthdays were Mickey. However, when I went shopping for Mickey items I found out that the rest of the world seems to have moved on. I went all over town to find a Mickey cake. I finally found one 20 minutes away. When I went to Toys R Us there was about a 3 foot section of Mickey in the entire warehouse sized store. I thought for sure I would luck out at the Disney store, but even they had barely any Mickey stuff. I bought all of the PJ's they had (2 pair) since Jett asks for Mickey pajamas every night. I also found a plate, cup & placemat. I guess "Bickey" is just old school now...



The official party greeter. Quite possibly the largest balloon I've ever seen!



I've learned that 95% of the time I take a group photo with a child in it that all of the adults will look at the child to see if they are looking. This year's "grandparent portrait" was no exception.
On a side note, my dad started chemo this week and we were fortunate that he was able to come spend a few hours at the party. For all of you that have asked about him- thank you!


A Mousekateer!

When babies multi-task...
Lunch-



Uncle Blair was so excited about the gift he bought Jett- a train set! Blair had talked about it all week. Unfortunately Jett discovered the wonder of helium balloons that day and was uninterested in all the gifts. Sorry, Uncle Blair! That night we set it up and Jett had a blast. It is definitely a fave toy now.




Here is Jett clapping for us after we sang "Happy Birthday". Is that a look of pure happiness or what?
For a second there we weren't sure if he was going to blow out the flame or eat it, but he pulled it off!






After the sugar started to kick in we figured we should get the kids outside to let off some steam.


Snacking on grass-


The great water gun fight of 2008. Want to see what happens when Jett gets ganged up on????


He goes into "TAKE NO PRISONERS" mode! This photo cracks me up.

Man, sprinklers are fun!


As you can see, Jett didn't let the balloons get too far away. That night he took a balloon into the shower (what a racket!) and then to bed. When he awoke the first thing he did was grab his balloon!

All in all it was a fun day. Thank you everyone who came over and for the family that couldn't make it, I hope you enjoy these photos.

I also have a ton of client photos to get up, so look for those coming soon! :)
