Joe's Birthday

I don't have pictures yet from Joe's little birthday party because I keep forgetting to ask my friend Heather for them. Yes, I am a horrible mom and didn't have my camera at his party and didn't have time to turn around and go get it.
On his birthday, we measured him, but little stink wanted to play with the measuring tape so I am not sure where he is measuring up at...just that it is over 30 inches, probably not by much...We will have to wait until we go to the doctor because he will sit for them!
Then, it was such nice weather that Heather, Kena and Benson came swimming! I am obsessed with this little 1 1/2 ft deep pool! This is going to be great for the days that I don't feel like going all the way in and Joe can swim in here by himself, with close supervision!

Awesome splash pad that Joe is starting to like also! Dad took the day off so he and Joe were having gun fights!

This is the cake! I found this cool looking train bundt pan and just had to have it. Little did I know I would be having his party at a train park this year and this cake went great!

Until I realized I didn't have any powdered sugar to make the glaze! So here I am trying to quickly frost a busy looking train...Since I didn't have the time nor patience to make it look somewhat decent I worked with what I had and knew that Joe would love the Oreo's as much as the cake itself.


Kena and Joe blowing out the candles, me holding Joe's hand so he doesn't touch the fire, this was the second blow because he realized how cool it was the first time, he needed it AGAIN!
Blowing out the candles, sweet moment, I didn't even have to really explain how to do it, I thought I would-candles, plural! He's so big!

So what are the chances of a guy like me and a girl like you... I told Joe he needed to share his stool which happens to be tiny and the only way they could both fit was to pretty much hold each other, Joe had no problem
Got a little frosting on your elbow Joe?!
Joe got an awesome tunnel from the Mishler's and invited me into it...I was feeling a tiny bit claustrophobic, but it was fun to see the kids racing through. Thanks guys!

Hope you had a fun day Joe! Love ya!
