Jared's 2nd Birthday

Look at our little fireman!  

Jared turned 2 years old on May 19th.   We have sure loved our little boy.   He has been so much fun!  He has such a spunky little personality and a love for life.    We get a kick out of watching him experience new things.  Every day he is learning new words and everything is so exciting for him, whether it is an airplane up in the sky, a bird, or a new toy he has just figured out.   We love watching him grow.

We celebrated his birthday while down in Sandy visiting my family.  His main birthday gift was a new red wagon, which we didn't actually get out until Heidi's birthday almost a week later- it was for both of them.   He didn't really know any different anyway.  

The sad thing was that he woke up feeling awful, having thrown up in his bed and being pretty lethargic and clingy.  So, I held him a lot that morning and he didn't eat anything.  Well, by that afternoon, after keeping drink down, he seemed to be pretty-much over it and back to normal.  So,  we let him celebrate his birthday like planned and he was doing great.  

With all the travel down to Salt Lake that weekend, I never made him a cake.  Instead, we had a picnic at the park in Provo after going to the Natural Wildlife Museum at BYU.   We ate pizza and Jared got cars cupcakes, which were a hit with the kids. The museum was really neat- and even better, it was free to the public.  I have never been there before and I was really impressed!   They had all kinds of exhibits about animals, which were stuffed not alive, but really cool to look at.  

At the park the kids got time to play with each other before saying goodbye again.  

Opening his presents- What could it be?

Lightning McQueen and Mater cars.

At the museum,  Erika and Kyle thought it was pretty cool that we could take a picture and make it look like they had horns coming from their heads.  Who says Mormons don't have horns?
