Happy Happy Birthday Birthday!

Last Saturday was both Joye's and Caleb's birthday - happy birthday to both of them! Caleb turned two and Joye turned...well, she's still in her 20's!

We can't believe our little man is already two years old! I was gone for a week and a half to Orlando with part of our youth ministry and missed their birthdays. Joye got her actual birthday day to herself with one of her sisters and a good friend Albre while Grandma Deakins watched Caleb for the day (Thank you!). So, we threw a party for Caleb today and had a bunch of his cousins and friends over for a little BBQ and a pool party.

It was nice to be with everyone even in the midst of a chaotic party for a two year old. We had burgers, hot dogs, beans, salad, and then cake and ice cream. We topped the evening off with a swim at our neighborhood pool. It was lots of fun!

Our good friend Albre Davis worked really hard and made Caleb a special cake. Caleb was awe-struck by the cake and I wish the picture could capture it better, but he was a little freaked out when he realized that he was eating his furry red friend. Elmo wasn't laughing back this time. He was confused and so the resolution was to throw his fork and cake off the table. What can you do, right? I mean that's a lot to think about for a two year old. :) The cake looked amazing and it tasted just the same. Thanks Albre for being an awesome friend like that!

Here are some pictures of the party and a short video for you. Enjoy! Have a great fourth of July - stay safe!

Love to you all,

All the fixin's!

Some of Caleb's cousins and his friend Miles sneaking in back there too. C's friend Ty Davis was also there but he didn't make this picture.

Looks like it came from a magazine huh? She's good! And I hear she's open for business?? :)

If you listen closely in the video below, you can hear a couple of the girls saying, "Ooooh, I want the eye ball!"

He was seriously speechless!

This was the point where he began to get really confused. Shortly after this picture was taken he got frustrated that he was eating Elmo and threw his fork and cake everywhere.

Tons of fun in the pool!
