Last Friday we left the sweltering triple digit heat of Texas and flew back home to Iowa. It has been an unusually cool July here the past week or so, with temperatures in the 60's and low 70's! It is a welcome change for us so I won't complain, even though I wish I would have brought a light jacket or sweatshirt.
The past five days have been very busy for us as we've been trying to see as many friends and family as we can. Cason turns 2 this week so we took advantage of being home by having two birthday parties for him. On Saturday, we had a party for him with my family. My sister, Alissa, and brother in law, Dave, were nice enough to let us have it at their new house.
We had a delicious 3 foot party sub from Blimpie with all sorts of yummy sides.
Cason isn't really "into" anything so I could pretty much choose anything for a party theme. I decided fire trucks would be cute. He isn't into trucks but he loves ladders, hoses, and fire hydrants so it made sense.
He enjoyed having everyone sing to him and trying to blow out the candles.
Cake is yummy!
Cousin Tate agrees. He loved his first taste of ice cream and Alissa said he asked for ice cream for breakfast the next morning.
Bryce has been really good this week, considering how much he's been passed around!
Cason is so sweet to Bryce -- most of the time.
Opening presents.
Using his special present opening tool -- a plastic fork.
On Sunday we went out to the country to Uncle Mike and Aunt Barb's house. It was a beautiful day so we got to play outside with all of their bikes and 4 wheelers and eat some delicious BBQ.
Bryce got loved on by his big cousins. Natalie kept reading him stories and putting stuffed animals next to him.
Cole and Luke, who are rough with each other, were so sweet to both Cason and Bryce. Luke shared his beloved General Lee car with Cason and they both sat and bounced Bryce in his bouncy seat.
This week we will be hanging out more with Alissa, Dave, and Tate and next weekend is Kelly's family reunion so check back for more pictures.
