August 4th, Jonathon's 2nd Birthday!

We had so much fun celebrating again with another party, but here in WA at our home, for Jonathon's 2nd birthday! We had a basketball party theme this time around and it was a blast. Jonathon has been crazy for balls, especially basketballs, since a baby thanks to Jake! So we thought the theme would be appropriate. The first thing he crawled to as a baby was Jake's basketball, and his first real word was ball! Here is our family dressed in theme.... notice the tape Jake put on my belly (his idea!) to make my belly into a basketball! So cute and fun.

Jonathon opening his gift from mommy and daddy, a batman motorcycle! cool! The cousins were just as fascinated. :)
Mr. serious, playing the role of a superhero on a mission I guess...
my sweet faced boy watching his balloons float away in the sky! He thought it was pretty amazing.
look at those eyelashes!!!!!!!
The party decorations! I'd like to point out how cool this basketball "cupcake"- cake turned out! I never knew of the idea before this and it was so handy, the kids could just grab there cupcake and go, no slicing needed, but still getting the same basketball "cake" effect!

We love you Jonathon!

Oh my gosh....Ashley, how do you manage to be such a beautiful pregnant woman with so many coordinating party outfits? ;-) Jonathon is one lucky kid with so many fun themes and parties. I love the cake idea!! Did you make that yourself? Hailey's party is a cowgirl one at the end of this month and I wish I could make a horse cake with the cupcake idea. That would be so cute!
P.S. You are in our prayers!
