Birthday Party!

Gage is two!!! Our poor little guy woke up from his nap on party day with a temp. I swear he has the WORST timing with getting sick (when Harper was born, the day mom left...) He was pretty whiny the whole day but made it through. He had a temp all night but was fine the next morning. When he went downstairs he said "WOOAH BALLOONS!!" even all his toys were new again. LoL

Auntie Carmen and Harper

Connie and Jeffrey got Justin a ball-picker-upper (I'm sure that's the official name of it!) filled with golf balls. Daddy was pretty excited!!

An excavator from Nana & Papa

Grammy and Harper

Debbie painted this stepping stone for Gage!! She's amazing!!

Lilah girl!!

Uncle Mike, Mikey and Anna

4 Generations

Helen Kay & Harper Kay

Uncle Darren & Lilah

Poor Hailey. Harper is always crying when she wants to hold her!

(Disclaimer: Yes we fully realize we didn't cut his hair short enough at his haircut and he looks like he has a toupe. Don't you fret though. Shellee has since fixed it!!!)

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!! We love you so much!

2nd Birthday ~ 1st Haircut

My baby is 2!! Waking up to a present Nana left on the doorstep.

Golf slippers!

Yes, it's an official rule that you're allowed to eat Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies for breakfast on your birthday!

Let's move on to the real event of the day. Justin and I have battled the last year about cutting Gage's hair. He wanted it cut IMMEDIATELY every time the boy woke up looking like this... (which was every morning the past couple months)

I on the other hand did NOT want to. I felt like it took him so long to finally get hair and he still looked like such a baby with his little curls! I didn't want to cut away his baby-ness. :( We ended up compromising to wait till his 2nd birthday to cut it. I was DREADING this day for weeks leading up. I cried more times than I can count when I thought about actually cutting it (and now I'm crying again typing this). These were the last pics I took of my baby before he got his big boy cut!
