Wesley 2nd Birthday Party

There really wasn't much question about what to do for Wesley's Party- it was a no brainer. The theme would be trains and we would have it at the "choo choo" park. Of course, I didn't realize you should call and book a ramada four or five months before the party so when I called to see if there was availability about a month out I was expecting a resounding no. Thankfully, someonehad called and canceled for the Saturday I was looking for and we were in luck!
Overall, it was a great party. I little warmer then we would have liked, especially for me, but it all worked out! Here are a bunch of pics from the morning!

We decided that the grandparents and parents should go together and get Wesley one big thing versus a bunch of small stuff. So we decided on this John Deer Tractor. Although it's a little hard for Wesley to drive still Oliver has become a quick pro and Wesley is catching on. He just doesn't always remember to look where he is driving:)




The tractor was a big hit with everyone at the party. Luckily there wasn't too much fighting over who got to take a turn.
I made a bunch of water balloons knowing that Wesley would really like them and that it might help the kids to keep cool. I spent at least an hour and a half, maybe longer, filling about 200 balloons, which disappeared in about 5, maybe 8 minutes flat.

The ice was also a big hit with the little ones especially. I don't know what is so endearing about ice but it always seems to be an attraction. Wesley is obsessed with ice and has, unfortunately, learned to open the freezer and pull out ice whenever he wants. Yikes.


There's a lot of us when we all get together.
THese three below (Oliver, Sophia, and Kaleb) were like the three little musketeers. So cute.
