Holy Cow! You're 2!

Wait!  Did I read that right? Joe turned two years old!?  Where has the time gone?  This little guy is doing his best to grow up and be just like his older siblings.  He loves to throw balls (not underhand for this boy), play golf (well, he uses a bat to hit a baseball on the ground), and LEGOS are a big hit with Joe.  Anything he can do to be big is just what he wants.

So, it felt appropriate that instead of having just plain "cake" for his birthday, we had Jordan River/Mississippi Mud for his cake.  The kids loved the idea of eating "mud" for a birthday treat.  But the biggest hit were the five balloons that Mom blew up for each child.  Everyone was super excited to get their own balloon.


 Joe loved his bubble bath, boots, and his superhero cape.  He calls it his Superman cape because he doesn't know any difference, but his siblings are quick to correct him.  It's a Batman cape!  Whatever.  He's happy.

 

I suppose I should explain Joe's "gift wrap."  See, in Austin, stores aren't allowed to provide one-time useuable bags anymore.  So, this is the most expensive gift wrap I could find...a bag from a store that still provides plastic bags.  We roll our eyes everytime we go shopping now.  Thought you'd enjoy a piece of Austin.

And there's our two super heroes!  Love 'em both!
