Isaac's Second Birthday

Isaac turned two on October 1, 2012.  We had a birthday party for him at our house and invited Isaac's cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents to join us for the party.  Isaac had a great time decorating his "dinosaur" cake with grandma Cindy.  Together they mixed up frosting colors and put "dinosaur eggs" on the cake and cupcakes.  Isaac was very particular in putting matching colored eggs on the cupcakes.  For example, we told him to put 3 eggs on each cupcake, so he chose 3 black jelly beans for one cupcake, 3 red jelly beans for another, etc.  He did not like to mix his colors!  :)

Here is a picture of his finished cake.  We had a great time making the cake ourselves and letting Isaac help.  He LOVED licking the frosting!  And of course he loved putting his toy dinosaurs around the cake.

 Daddy set up a tent in the back yard and filled it with balloons.  The kids had a great time throwing and sitting on the balloons.  They especially loved popping them at the end of the party!

We also had a pinatta that the kids broke open with a bat.  Of course it was Brayton's swing that broke through to the candy!

One special feature to our party was the dinosaur tracks that Matt spray painted in the yard.  When the kids came over, Matt told them a dinosaur had been in our yard the night before.  Lauren was amused and also a little anxious at the same time.  She told Matt "Dinosaurs lived a long time ago, so how could one be in your yard?"  She was so nervous at one point that she went into the house to play in order to stay away from the dinosaurs!  Matt finally told her the "secret" that he spray painted the tracks.  The secret didn't last long, as Lauren told everyone that came to the party, "Uncle Matt painted the tracks on the lawn.  They're not real dinosaur tracks.  Uncle Matt spray painted them!"



Here is a picture of Isaac and his cousin Emory eating their birthday cupcakes.  It was so cute when Isaac went to blow out his candles on his cake ... Brayton, Lauren, and Emory all blew his candle out too!  They were all so excited.  So then we gave each of them a candle on their cupcake so they could ALL blow out their own candle!

Happy Birthday Isaac!
