Dean's 2nd Birthday Party

Dean loved his party this year. During his first birthday party, he didn't know what was going on but this year was a whole other story.

Sean and Dean before everyone came.

Starting to open presents.

Behind him is just "some" of his gifts.

Sean likes Dean's firetruck "car" that we got Dean but poor Sean was not able to get into it very much for the first few days because Dean would not let him.

Dean kept talking into the play microphone.

Sean is chasing Dean so that he can give him a speeding ticket.

The cake!

Blowing out candles. (I only look "fat" because this is a man's large t-shirt. I'm still the same size I was in High School.) We used "trick" candles on his birthday cake since he loves blowing out candles. That is the reason why there are so many pictures of him blowing the candles out.

Mmmmm....cake! Look, I see a policeman!

Dean Turns 2!

Dean turned 2 on July 15th. Since his birthday fell on a Wednesday, we bought him a little cake so we could celebrate before his birthday party on that Saturday. He LOVED his candles.

Once he had blown them out, he was mad that the "fire" was gone. I had to cut a piece of cake for him and light them over and over again 4 times before I told him that the smoke was getting really bad in the house and we couldn't keep lighting them.

He had so much fun eating his cake.

Brownie Helper

Dean really, really enjoyed "helping" me bake brownies. If he could have it his way, we would make brownies all day and every day.

4th Of July

We had a blast this 4th of July. First we went to Fernandina Beach to visit for the day with Paul's brother. We had a cookout there and spent a long time playing on the beach. We got back home aroung 5pm. That night we went down to our beach and watched the fireworks.

On our boardwalk, there was a reggae band that was playing and the boys danced until the fireworks started.

Dean kept seeing people shoot fireworks off while we waited for the "show" to start in the sky.

Dean is "getting down."

Sean and Dean loved the fireworks. Once they were finished, we went back home and lit all of our fireworks until 11pm. What a great day!
