EEE-HAW It's Party Time!

Saturday was Wes's "doo" year old birthday party.  Both sets of grandparents, one great-gramma, a great aunt, a second cousin ( also a new gramma) and lots of friends were in attendance.  Sloppy joes were enjoyed by all.  Wes is starting to get the idea about opening presents.  He now realizes that inside that colorful paper is the good stuff ( hopefully a toy ).  In keeping with his Fireman's Party theme, he got a fireman jacket and hat, firehouse and firetruck legos, and fireman party blowout favors.  He also got an electronic reading device and a couple of books to help him learn to read.  Clothes and a Thomas the Train lantern were also in the mix.  A nice haul for a sweet little boy.  The day went too fast, and Wes didn't want anyone to leave and the party to end, but he was a tired little boy by 7:30.  Monday is his 2 year checkup, so we'll see then how he's doing.  I still say that grandparenting is the greatest!

A Special Birthday

Today is my little buddy Wes's birthday.  Just ask him and he'll tell you he is now "doo" years old ( that's 2 in Wesspeak). His big party is tomorrow.  He's having a fire truck theme party.  With relatives and friends, he'll have a good time being the center of attention, which he loves.  His favorite thing to do is to make us adults laugh, and his antics always accomplish that feat. He's a sweet little guy who loves to climb "Grampa mountain", jump around a little bit, and then jump off the mountain, always being sure that Grampa is ready and able to catch him before he crashes to the floor.  He'll play that game until I'm either too sore or too weak to continue.  He's a great kid, and I can't wait to celebrate with him tomorrow.    Happy Birthday Wes!!!!
