So now to share lots of Birthday Pics!! I will say a little bit about the pics as I post them...
This is JC enjoying a cupcake on his first birthday last year! I wasn't really planning to put an old pic on here but when I pulled up the folder I accidentally clicked the 2010 folder rather than 2011! So I though well lets just see the difference in a year!
Here he is on his birthday last week having a cupcake! What a difference a year makes! No more high chair for this big boy!!
Our present to him was this Little Tike basket ball goal. He loves playing ball, especially baseball and basketball. He was very excited. He was not so patient while he waited for us to open the box up and assemble it though!
At his birthday party the next day we had more cupcakes! He did not want to blow the candle out. He got mad and ran off when we tried to sing to him, so we had to let him take a bite of another cupcake and then he stood and let us sing to him and blow the candle out! Oh the terrible 2's are strong with this one!!
Now some pics of the party goers...

This pic is terribly fuzzy but it had to be included because Scott Hanks is actually smiling in it!!!
Elizabeth and Matthew. They matched that day, I just realized that! Which is appropriate because he is always her shadow!!
Uncle Dave and (soon to be Aunt) Susan!!
And the birthday boy himself!
Now to some of the present action! I made the mistake of letting him open up the gift from mom first! I knew that it was a baseball tee with bat and 2 balls. Well once he opened it he was not interested in anything else! So, I basically opened all the gifts from then on. But here he is with his new baseball tee and bat
He did atleast help me get a few things out of the bag from Aunt Elizabeth. She gave him a golf set and a bubble machine and side walk chalk.
Memaw gave him a sleeping bag so that he can be a big boy like his bubba and "camp out" in the living room on the weekends. They have done this about 4 times now and LOVE it and he does good. They sleep on the air mattress together. It is really cute!
Uncle Scott and Aunt Steph gave him a new trike! He was very excited about this too! His feet do not quite hit the peddles yet, but he scoots it just fine without the peddles. He should be riding with peddles before the end of the summer.
I have realized now as I am going through all the pics that I got none of them with their memaw! Not really sure how I managed that! She is coming to our house this weekend for a visit and I will just have to make sure we get one of the 3 of them together!
On Saturday morning we went to the zoo and we had memaw with us. We had a great time, as usual. Again the animals were pretty active because it was still early in the day. We stayed for about 3 1/2 hours and had a nice picnic lunch together. We were all worn out after that!!
JC chillin in the stroller as we began our morning at the zoo.
Beautiful tigers
Penguins swimming
We went into the farm this time to see if we could pet some animals. The did get to pet a sheep and a goat. This duck was sitting in the middle of this flower bed. You cannot tell from the picture but there is a bench around this bed and a girl was sitting there petting him just before I took the pic. The boys did not try to pet him. I was just sure they would scare him off!
Prairie Dogs

It was a fun morning and a great weekend! We had lots going on with different gathers for the holiday and all but it was great!
Well, until next time that's all for now!
