Carson's 2nd Birthday- July 31, 2009

The birthday boy loves cupcakes, but usually just licks off the frosting and leaves the cake part behind.

Mimi and Pa gave Carson new Wall-E sheets for his big boy bed that he will be sleeping in soon. He and Tate will be sharing a room together in a few months, and are both excited about their new bunk-bed.



Carson also got a Toy Story backpack, Thomas the Train Golden book, and a Richard Scarry Busytown DVD.


I took Carson to Toy R Us the week before his birthday and let him pick out something for his special day. He picked out "Mac" from Disney's Cars movie.



The birthday dinner was pizza (always a kid favorite), watermelon, and salad. Carson currently would rather eat salad, really just the lettuce, more then anything else. He LOVES lettuce. Go figure, just my luck, the one vegetable that he will actually eat is only one that has no nutritional value.




Mimi and Pa joined us for the birthday dinner on our back patio.





Earlier in the day, Tate helped me make the cupcakes. He likes to be a helper in the kitchen when I'm cooking these days. He just drags his little step stool over to the counter and his job is to pour in the ingredients. While assisting today though, I think he ate more candies then he put on the cupcakes.





For Carson's birthday day event, we took the boys to Fairfield to the Jelly Belly factory. While taking the tour, these hats are required to be worn at all times.



We didn't realize that the wait for the tour would be so long on a Friday morning. The boys waited patiently for our turn, and the promise of jelly beans at the tours end helped ensure good behavior while waiting in line.





The kids thought this giant jelly belly guy was really cool, and overall had a really fun day. They ate more jelly beans then any kid needs to ever eat in one day, but they went home happy!
