Well, I think we survived Jace's 2nd birthday. Fun but exhausting. His party was Saturday at Gymboree with some of his friends. Jace used to be shy around strangers (at least at first) but he has moved past this. Needless to say he ran around the whole time being a little ham, having such a good time. Jace's obsession for a while has been "tractors", which is what he calls any piece of construction equipment, so that was the theme of his party. He has worn his "tractor" t-shirt several time since the party and was mad this morning when it was not clean to wear to school again, even though he has just worn it yesterday for his actual birthday.
Saturday night we opened gifts from the party. He loved a fire truck he got from the Ghaffari's, and to Steve dismay, what he called a necklace, but was really a stethoscope from a survival kit. Jace has the opening gift thing down, but timing is a little off. He oohs and aahs even before the gift is open. Too funny.
Then Sunday Grandma and Grandpa took Jace to the Wildlife Park in Alvin. It was hot as usual, but I think they all had fun. Then there were two firsts for Jace- lunch at McDonalds and chocolate milk. That night we had family birthday night and Jace got his gift from us- a rideable "digger", as he calls it.

And just so you know she is still around, here is the latest pic of Kylie. She is close to outgrowing her newborn clothes and diapers (sniff, sniff).

Yea! Glad he liked the fire truck!
We had fun at the party. Aren't you glad children's birthdays only happen once a year???
yes! can't wait to plan two back to back next year.
we got another invitation for another party in sept- that would be three weekends in a row so I think we are declining that one.
I think my parents got it right and just took us on a special vacation. though vacation at this age is not really vacation- maybe in a couple years.
