Happy Birthday Crew Bear!!!

My little man is two today! I can't believe how quickly time flies and how it seems like just a few weeks ago he was crawling and baby talking. . . Now he's constantly talking and running everywhere! Oh how I love him and the joy and happiness he brings our family. Here are a few of his fav's at the moment:

-LUVS- LUVS- LUVS- cars and trucks
-Would watch the movie Cars over and over all day if I'd let him
-Growing out of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and into Jungle Junction
-Is completely potty trained!
-Loves trains and especially the Chuggington set Granny just got him :)
-Knows all of his basic colors (Yellow, Red, Blue, Green, Brown, White, Purple, Black, Orange, Pink, and even Silver) He says green is his favorite.
-Enjoys nursery and has walked in and waved goodbye that past two weeks no tears! (ahh it melts my heart)
-Is so smart and can learn new things so quickly!
-Recognizes the letters M and B and knows their sounds
-Loves to be read to and sometimes 'reads' to me
-Is so gentle and loving to all baby creatures (puppies, humans etc)
-Spends his days playing with trains and cars and playing outside
-Loves to be outside
-Has a thing for pretty girls and likes to touch their faces and hair

Oh I could go on and on. Crew you are such a kind hearted and mostly obedient boy. I love you HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY!

Crew's birthday morning surprise

The Lightening McQueen cake I made myself! The cake was a mold, but I frosted it all on my own! Thanks to M.I.L. Bev for being a WONDERFUL teacher. She came and helped mix the colors but being such a good teacher she made me do it all myself! (Ok she did do the 95 but everything else was moi!)

I did stay up till 2:00 am to finish, which left me a little grumpy but Daddy was a great sport and did Crew Duty while I took a nap before the big party.

His new Mac Truck. He knew he was getting it and as soon as he woke up it was the first thing he asked for :) Too smart, we bought it weeks ago and he never asked for it until this morning.

What kid wants oatmeal with raisins for his birthday breakfast??? No waffles with ice cream, bananas and strawberries, you'd rather have oatmeal. . . ok

And of course some of 'Daddy's shake'

Good Ol' Chuck E. Cheeses!! The venue for the big event. We just did a family party with all the cousins. Had pizza, played all the fun arcade games, opened presents, had a pull pinata, then ended with cupcakes. What a fun party!

Cousin Aspynn looking so cute as always! (And 3 day old Addison in the car seat, she is precious!)

The spread. . . of course Cars theme. From his chair and bib to the plates and pinata.

My attempt at making tire cupcakes. The oreo cookies are supposed to be car wheels. :0)

Crew and one of his cousin girlfriends, Brooklyn. 

His other girlfriend Aunt Jenikah. He just prefers older women
 (And Granny with Aspynn in the back)

Cousin J.J and Bailey

Tah Tah sorry you couldn't be there! He loved his new hummer truck and tried to pull it out of the box! Hope you feel better. A huge thanks to Britt, Josh and fam for the AWESOME lightening McQueen car. I think he likes it better than the Mac truck we got him :) And Granny you are in big trouble for spoiling him too much!!! He is going to have so much fun playing with all the characters from Chuggington! Now he doesn't have to pretend his other trains are Coco and Wilson :)


Brooklyn is such a helper and so motherly! She helped Crew with the presents since he was being way too careful and slow :) Thank you everyone for the gifts and especially thanks for celebrating with us!!! You spoiled him rotten! 

All tuckered out from such a fun day but can't resist playing with his real Mac truck :) Happy Birthday baby we love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CREW-BEAR! I can't believe you're 2 already - I still remember when you were a newborn baby! You're growing into such a delightful little boy! You are lucky to have such great parents - how cool was Mummy's cake that she made for you!
