Payton Turns 2...

On Sunday we had Payton's 2nd Birthday Party.
We had all of his little friends over and watched a video we made of Payton, ate cake and ice cream, opened gifts and played outside in the backyard.
Everyone had a great time.
Payton with His Friends...Joy, Kristin, Abigail and Torik
In this picture Daddy and Payton are trying to catch a Gecko in the house.
This was actually taken Monday but I had to include it...It was so cute.
Here is Payton chasing the gecko under the table. This is Payton and Torik looking at "Manny" the Preying Mantis that Daddy caught. The boys enjoyed feeding it bugs and watching it eat them. Payton Playing with His New Tonka truck Under His Slide

Opening Gifts...The red one was actually from Mommy and Daddy.
(Elmo and Cookie Monster Walkie-Talkies)
He was very proud of himself for blowing out the candles.

My Dad built Payton a barn for his birthday!
It's modeled after the building my dad is putting up at their house right now.
Here is Payton trying to climb inside!

It's really cool...It even has an Ohio State basketball hoop painted on inside back wall.

We're so blessed to have such great family and friends who care for Payton! He had such a great birthday and received a ton of great gifts including the barn and animals from Papa and Grandma, walkie talkies, a Tonka truck, several other trucks, several puzzles, a train/block set, a coloring book and magna-doodle, some bath toys, a new soccer ball, a golf club set, new rubber boots from the movie "Cars", along with a lot of other great gifts! Thank you to everyone who helped share in celebrating his precious little life :) We love you!

April, That cake looks AWESOME! I bet it was a huge hit. It looks like turning two was even more fun than turning one. Cute pictures. Happy Birthday Payton!
