Is this a "good morning, it's my birthday!" face or what? Ty is definitely not a morning person, he takes after daddy and has been known to sleep in till 9:30 am! We were all so excited for the birthday boy to get up that we were in his room singing happy birthday bright and early. :)
He came out to see his first birthday present, a giant bear! He LOVES his D, a small bear he sleeps with. Now he has Big D. He loves climbing on him and reading books on him, so cute.
Then it was party time! Here's the birthday boy in his special road signs shirt. His birthday was road signs theme since he's in love with cars and driving. One of his favorite past times is sitting in my car, at the wheel, acting like he's driving. He's also very passionate about who's driving which car. I can only drive my car, if I try to drive Daddy's car, he
cries and says, "No, you no drive Daddy's truck! Daddy drive!" with Italian hand waving and high emotion. That could be Irish hand waving too since we have a lot of that on my side of the family (Mom) and we're always overly emotional. :)
We celebrated the birthday in our driveway where Daddy and Papa Jerry made a track out of duck tape. We had bought lots of road signs, a gas pump and a stop light to add to the "track". This track is still present on our driveway and gets lots of use every day. :)
Party goers started arriving. Here's Shauna, Jenny and I.
Tatum needed to wear this sign on her back. She wanted to make sure everyone knew what team she was on. :)
Here's Tatum with some of her good friends, Mattie and Anderson.
And the birthday boy. As I was saying, such passion and emotion. As well as loving cars and bears, Ty LOVES guitars. This was his present from
Keira and wow, can you tell he was excited about it? He'll be creating a band next year. :)
We tried to keep the road theme going so here's the gift table and the favor bags that look like stop lights.
But the action was out on the track. Here's Grandma, or De De as Ty calls her, pulling the kids around the track in a wagon. We're not quite sure why Ty calls her De De, but we know it must be an important name, because all the things that are important to him are named D or De De. His bear, his blanket, his Grandma, highly important items. :)
Along the track, there was a pit stop...
and a garage...
And everyone enjoyed riding the track.
Tatum, Nadine and I wear the appropriate colors and made sure to get in line according to stop light order. :)
There were lots of friends and neighbors at the party. Here's one of Ty's favorite neighbor, Matt. This is Anderson's dad and we use to get to see him often when we dropped Tatum off at preschool. The kids have different schedules now so we don't get to see him as often but when we spot Matt down the street or on his bike, Ty goes crazy and can't wait to see him!
My little baby is two. He's such a little boy, so rough and tough and boyish. :) But he always has love for his mommy.
The kids enjoyed a lunch of car shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, broccoli salad, fruit and veggie sticks with Capri Sun. This was Jack's first time enjoying a meal at the big kid table and he did a great job!
Lots of silliness!
You don't have to walk or ride to enjoy the track! :)
Oh Daddy!
And these are the beautiful and delicious cake pops that Shauna and Jacquie made for Ty's special day. Can you tell he was impressed?!
And he did a great job of blowing out his candles!
Everyone enjoyed the pops, there were vanilla and chocolate.
The
Neven's enjoying some birthday pops.
Ty loved opening all his presents.
Oh Grandma!
Later that night, Ty got to open some more presents and got this Ukalalie, another favorite toy.
The next morning, Ty woke up to a new car table! He loves playing with it every day and even shares with his sister. Our little baby is two, I can't believe it. He's growing up so fast, too fast.
