Happy 2nd Birthday Joseph!

Joseph's 2nd birthday was a big success! He received a big balloon bouquet from his Gramma Sue and Grampa Joe! This child LOVES balloons! Boy, that MADE his day...







Mommy fixed J a special heart shaped Eggo waffle with syrup for his breakfast! The syrup is his favorite part!

And the kitchen was all set up with his presents...

Nan and Pop came over and brought him some gifts..
And I got a cupcake cake for him on his special day...





After the cupcake fun, he played with his new gifts...


And even Maddy got in on the fun....
A week later we had Joseph's party with his friends. This is the day of his party with his cousin Jordan (who he loves dearly).
The pizza is here so all the little friends were getting to the table to eat! (Notice everyone pulling on their elastic part of their hat) I don't think they like the part under their chin too much :)

I think it was 98 degrees this day with EXTREME humidity. It was SO hot outside!

Mommy and her birthday boy...
Sweet Emma playing some tunes on the music table...
Jackson and Sophia running around playing...
Joseph's BFF Logan....
And here is his other buddy Logan...
My friend Jamie did an AWESOME job making the cake (she's in my playgroup and her daughter is Sophia)....
Cousin Jordan helping Joseph blow out the candles...
Playtime....
Joseph's big gift was a Little Tykes bounce house and the kids sure love it...

He opened his gifts after all the friends left...





We are so proud of our big boy who is now 2! He has so much personality and is a joy to watch him grow and learn. He is a wonderful big brother and we look forward to celebrating many, many, more birthdays with him! We love you Joseph!

Chuck E. Cheese

So I said the next post would be Joseph's 2nd birthday, but we took J to Chuck E Cheese for the first time several weeks ago. It was before his birthday, so just wanted to sneak this post in before the big birthday one!
He had a wonderful time playing there. He enjoyed the rides and loved the play area! Maddy got her pic with Chuck E Cheese too!







For some reason Joseph wanted to sit on the floor when we put the token in to make the ride "go".


Uh oh!!!! I had to run up there and get him down, but the photo opp. was just too cute!





Again....wanting to ride on the floor.......
Me, Madelyn, Joseph and Nana...

Pop with his princess....

Memorial Day

I am a little behind on blogging these days, but am slowly trying to catch up!!! We enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day with my parents and friends. I invited some of Joseph's friends to come have a cookout lunch and splash around in my mom and dad's pool. We had such a good time and the weather was perfect! The pool temp was perfect too! We are so thankful for all the men and women that have given their lives to help protect our country. Stay tuned...next blog entry is Joseph's 2nd birthday!!!
Joseph and Maddy got all decked out in their red, white, and blue! Mommy and her little princess...

Trying to get a pic of Joseph's shirt that said "Red, White, and Cool", but this was the best I could do! This boy is ON THE GO and FAST these days! :)
