Candor's 3rd Big One

Another birthday means another birthday party!  Candor was excited about his friends coming over but SUPER EXCITED about the presents that they may bring!

The past couple of years we would invite a couple of his friends and a couple of our friends.  This year it was a straight up kid party!  We had 16 little nut jobs running around.

Before the party we took him to Party City so he could pick out his decorations.  We looked and looked at everything and he finally settled on a Hot Wheels themed party.  We got Hot Wheels balloons, plates, napkins, table cloth, and table decorations.  Since it's July and it's a billion degrees outside we also decided to grab some water items for the kids to play with in the backyard.  We ended up buying a slip in slide that is for ages 5+.  Smart right?

The morning of the party he was so excited that he ate his oatmeal outside while we got things set up.
Nana and Pop Pop got him a Gazillion bubble machine for his birthday and it literally shot out a gazillion bubbles.  It was amazing.  We had to test it out before the party.   
Decorations and food are ready and now we are just waiting on the guests!

Parker showed up early as I mistakenly told his mom the wrong time but I'm so happy I did as Candor was literally standing on the table at that point and we needed him out of the house!
A short time later all the other little people started to arrive!  Candor started the party by showing everyone his slide.
The kids all had the best time!  One mom emailed me afterwards and said it was the best party because her daughter took a 3 hour nap afterwards!    











Townes had a blast celebrating his big brother too but he had to divide his time between outside and inside as it was so hot!



 This creeper also showed up for a bit too. Ha!
As the party was winding down Candor kept telling me that he was ready for everyone to leave so he could open up his presents.  Once the last person walked out the door he got to work!

His all time favorite present was this crane Antonia, Stephen, Xander & Zoe got him.  He could barely even breathe when he opened it.  

Now to start planning 'Candor's 4th Big One'!

23 Months! (Townes)

My little man is now 23 months old! He is so happy, sweet and funny!  His days are spent laughing and smiling...with only a few tears thrown in there every once in awhile. His new favorite loves this month are dandelions and helping me do things. Townes can spot a dandelion from a mile away and insists on grabbing every single one of them. He also insists on helping me do everything.  Some things take a bit longer to do with Townes helping but I'll take them taking out the trash everyday! His favorite foods is still tacos.  He gets fired up anytime we mention tacos and starts chanting....'TACOS! TACOS!'. He loves soccer balls.  One day he had a fit to try on one of Candor's soccer uniforms.  I have never in my life seen anyone so proud.  He was glowing and thought he was so cool like his big bro. Todd ordered them both a new Liverpool kit which was also Townes first soccer kit of...

Frankenstein

Candor and I did our first craft project.  There were no fights and it 'kind of' looks like Frankenstein so I give it an A+!

2018 Valentines

Townes and Candor had an awesome Valentines this year. In early February Candor and Townes made some sweet little Valentines for some of their friends. Candor then had his Valentines Day Sock Hop at his preschool.  A few hours before the dance I remembered I had signed up to bring cookies so we raced to the IGA and picked up our 'homemade' cookies! We then started getting ready for the big dance.  Once we got to the dance we headed straight to the photo booth.  Candor loved posing with all his friends and we could barely drag him away. Candor then headed for the dance floor.  He danced, played limbo, and ran around like crazy.  All the kids had so much fun. On the morning of Valentines Candor and Townes 'raced' downstairs to see what they got. Candor then got dressed and headed to school with the Valentines for his friends and Ms. Suzi's gift. Candor insisted that we bring Ms. Suzi some chocolate c...
