Happy Birthday

I can't believe it. Luke turned two. Everyone says that it goes so fast and even though you know it does, it is hard to just hold on to each moment.
Luke is all boy. He loved this Little People Garage because it has a ramp for all of his cars to slide down. We were all done birthday shopping for him and then Daddy came home with this giant tractor for him the day before his birthday. He loves to spoil him.
On Luke's birthday we went swimming and then had waffle's (Luke's favorite) at Grandma's house. I forgot my camera so I don't have pictures, but Luke loved the slide and wanted to jump off of the diving board when Daddy did.


The day after Luke's birthday his Grandma and Grandpa came to visit. He really didn't care that they came as long as they brought his "fun" Uncles and Aunts. Mitchell, Chad (the all time favorite), Melanie and Shelley don't have their own kids so Luke loves all of the attention that they give him.

He loves the slide that they bought for him, but he uses it more as a ramp to send his cars down, than as a slide.
He is the fastest person I've ever seen at blowing out his candles. Maybe that is because I always tell him to blow on his food to cool it off before he takes a bite. I am sure that is not proper manners.
Since he got the movie cars for Christmas, he has been in love with all things Cars. You walk through Walmart and they have Lightening McQueen everything and he wants it all. I am not much of a cake decorator so instead we bought toy cars and made Radiator Springs--complete with the Cozy Cone Motel and Luigi's Casa De La Tires. The tractor in the back left corner is "tipped."

Abby enjoyed the party too. Side note. We have now had this balloon for almost two weeks and the helium in it is going strong. It is still floating on the ceiling. Isn't that crazy? or have I just always had cheap balloons that lose their air fast?

I think that cake looks great, you are a good decorator! I want a balloon like that! Chels is always so sad when she sees her balloon the next day on the ground.
