The birthday party

To celebrate Jalen's 2nd birthday we had a bbq at our house with family and neighbors. It was a great success - all the kids LOVED it, which of course makes for happy and relaxed parents. Thank you to all that came to help us celebrate!!!!


Zoe, Ethan, and Jalen on he bouncy (Jalen's gift from Mommy and Daddy)


Zoe and Jalen taking their turn.


Derek and sleepy Addison - she was such a good baby all day!


Brooke and Zoe enjoying their cake - yum!!!


Jalen got lots of stuff on wheels, which is definitely his new love. Here he is trying out his new train on Daddy.


Jalen did a great job reading the cards and opening up presents, with minimal help from us.


Jalen was also so kind to give EVERYONE a hug after opening some presents - he was feeling SO lucky to have such wonderful people help him celebrate!!! Hugs for Jamie.


Making his rounds - hugs for Steph.


Hugs for Dawn.


Mommy gets excited about cute new clothes :-)


Zoe is the sweetest thing every! She came up behind Jalen and just gave him a little love tap - SO cute!!! Funny thing is, she did the exact same thing at Jalen's b-day party last year.



Papa stayed a couple extra days to spend time with Jalen, here are a few shots of the next couple days:
