Birthday Extravaganza!

We had a little birthday party for Gavin on Saturday now that he is the big TWO! Some friends and family came over to help us celebrate, and since it was a fairly mild day for August we started off with some water games in the back yard!


Dominic was a pro on the slip n slide.



Kinley thought the sprinklers were like a drinking fountain!

'baby' Kit struttin his stuff!

Gavin loved the slip n slide too!Some of the adults stayed cool inside while being entertained by cute little Anna!


Then it was time for lunch!

The kids discussed some important business....Jackson enjoyed his peas as an alternative to hot dogs and chips! After everyone was done eating I found Mr. Gavin drinking left over juice boxes and grazing on left behind plates! What a little Chunker:)



The theme of Gavin's party this year was firetrucks, and since we have a little experience in that department, we decided to do a fun Fire themed game with a special visitor:

Anyone know who that is???????

We set up a obstacle course for them. First they had to pull a tire.

Then we sprayed water at the fire.

And lastly they had to throw water balloons at the burning building!



Gavin didn't want to do anything other than the waterballoons!

Next, we dried off and opened presents!
Gavin got some really cool stuff!



Then to Cake time!!!!!

I bought the wilton Firetruck pan and made this myself....I was pretty pleased with the out come!
I think it is safe to say that Gavin enjoyed his cake!Hannah ahd some practice with cake too....her birthday is only a month away!This is what most of the adults did once everything was all done!!!

Thank you to all of the family and friends that helped us celebrate! We love you all:)

Tawnya and Kolby were telling us all about it. We're so bummed we weren't able to make it! But the cake looks fabulous! Good job!! And happy birthday to Gavin!

So sad we had to miss this year! Looked like fun - and I do believe I lost 5 pounds just seeing those pictures of Joel in full gear in the blazing sun. Yikes!

Great cake, Jaz!!!

We had a great time. When I asked Kinley that night who loves her the most she said, "fireman."
