birthday bash

We celebrated Dennis' birthday this past weekend because Grandma Robyn was able to come! We had a great weekend despite the fact that I was in bed sick for the majority of the time.

For the bday we went to Grant's Farm. Next time we will leave the stroller at home... as you can see it just slowed us down.

We got to ride a "train".And see some buffalo.
some Texas longhorn cows and a wild mustang
a jumbo elephant
some parrots
and of course, the goats.

Dennis was so excited to ride on the carousel
until it started to move- it was so funny, he would cry and then stop when he saw us... over and over.

After nap time Dennis opened presents! He LOVES his legos. Thank you Nonnie & Papa.playing with grandma's camera.
LEGOS!

Here was the cake... Dennis LOVES M&Ms so we did a simple cake- but it was sooo delicious... its the "better than Robert Redford" cake (as my mom calls it). I know... its not that cool- I wouldn't be surprised to find it on cake wrecks someday. Oh well. I just wanted to leave room for improvement for next year. You can't set the bar too high at only 2.
Thank you Grandma & Grandpa for the wagon! Dennis LOVES it.
And I made Dennis this little city to play cars on. I got the idea from Nonnie's house. There are drive in garages, drive thru McDs, car wash and gas pump. It doesn't compare to his legos but maybe he will like it in 6 months when he is tired of the legos.

We LOVE Grandma! Thank you sooo much for coming. We miss you.

honey bunches of oats

is what we eat for breakfast almost every morning... well, the cheap aldi version of them. And, Dennis really likes them as much as I do. This morning he was working on seconds when I decided to leave him to take a shower. When I came out this is what I found: he had thirds and fourths... and even shared with the dogs (who waited patiently until he was done).

2 years old. For his birthday, I was planning on making a quilt... I started by picking up fabrics that I liked, and then filling in with fabrics I had... then picking out a pattern. Its actually turning out a lot cuter than I thought it was going to be. I still wished I picked a different color scheme- but oh well. Its cute. I highly doubt it will be done for his b-day though.
my big boy finally got his own pair of these...
... and he wants to grow up to be his mommy. :)
