Preston's Birthday Party

The May birthday parade arrived at Preston's house the weekend after Jalen's birthday party. Preston was born just 2 days after Jalen, on Jalen's due date. It was a gorgeous May Saturday so the kids were able to enjoy all the toys outside in the yard.

Here's Jalen helping Preston open his birthday gifts.


Here's Jalen looking very serious in the kitchen.

Look out, there are two little boys in the kitchen!

Jalen's 2nd Birthday Party

We can't believe our baby boy is 2 years old! On Saturday, May 9th, we had a party for Jalen's second birthday. My parents came to visit for this occasion. At first, I was pretty stressed out about what to do to keep a bunch of toddlers entertained. Then I had the idea of moving a slide from Rick's mom's house to our basement. That worked out great.

Here's Tyler and Preston playing with Jalen's train set. This train table set was Jalen's birthday gift. Rick found it on craigslist.

Here's the hand me down slide that we got from Rick's sister. We moved the poker table aside for this.

Jalen was super excited to have so many toys and friends around.

Here's us and Jalen with his Thomas the Train birthday cake. He cried when we sang happy birthday to him. Not sure why.
