Photo update

I'm not quite sure what happened! I can't believe it's been six months since I've posted anything about Silas!

Sorry grandparents. At least you get to see him on a weekly basis?

My mom has been begging for updated pictures so I will post a few of the best from over the last few months.

And this one should be a familiar one. We recently got all the grandparents in one place to get a picture with Silas. He was less than happy, but we did manage to get a candid shot. The Grandpas were bribing him with money. I think he was promised five dollars. 

I know that wasn't many pictures. I promise I will try to keep up on them in the future. 

Silas' 2nd Birthday

Although he doesn't turn two until tomorrow we celebrated Silas' second birthday yesterday so that all of our family and friends could help us celebrate!

We had a construction themed party!

Honey made Silas' cake again this year! It was perfect and super yummy! So were the cupcakes and cake pops! 

We had a lot of friends and family join us! 

And Silas was very well loved by many!

The first gift he opened was from his Uncle Kevin and it is probably one of his favorites.

He wouldn't put those trucks down for anything! That includes opening other presents!

Mema and Papa bought him this cool radio flyer which needs to be put together. Will have to do that sometime this week! 

Grandpa Great bought him his second favorite, John Deer tractor trucks!

Aunt Andi, Uncle John, and Uncle Russ bought him some drums! I think maybe those will got to Bubby's!

Bubby and Honey's gift was a huge hit for Silas' friends! Silas is still unsure of it, but loves to press the foot peddle when he walks past it!

Grandpa Great made a special trip down. Although he is such a wiggle worm, we were able to get a few shots with him.

However when we tried to get one with cousin Bella, they both freaked out! 

Overall, Silas had an amazing time! I still can't believe he'll be two!

Early summer?

Last weekend Phoenix reached triple digits, which is a little early even for here. We decided it was time to set up Silas' splash pad. I'm so glad it survived the long 8 months in the garage! 

Silas takes to water like plant to sunlight. In fact, I think Silas would live outside if we let him! 

He spent a good hour and a half in the splash pad, even after we turned the hose off. 

And the next day he couldn't wait to get back out in it! Unfortunately, he had to wait until after our busy day of church, errand and a nap.

He was so wiped out that he crawled up in his rocking chair.

When he woke up he bee lined it right to the back door and asked "peas" to go out! 

After some coaxing, I was able to get him to try out his swing again. 

He was a little hesitant at first.

But warmed up after a few seconds of being pushed.
