Levi is 2 Years Old!!!

We had such a great time on his birthday!!! Levi has two cousins that also have birthdays within 2 weeks of his so we decided to have one big birthday party for the three of them while there grandpa could be down to celebrate with them all. It was a very fun filled day. In the morning we went to the Utah State Fair and enjoyed some food, rides, and animals. Sadly, I forgot my camera, but Levi loved every minute of it. Then we spent the rest of the day just enjoying the company of family with a BBQ and then it was birthday party time!!

All three kids lined up with their own cakes and balloons. We had one turning 5 and the other two were turning 2.

Levi devouring his cake. Last year he did not like it, but this year he fell in love!

Opening his remote control car. With a little practice he has been able to control it himself pretty well. When Brad first demonstrated how it works for him, he got so scared he ran and jumped on the couch. So funny!

Showing off his picture he drew on his new aqua doodle, which he loves.

The grandkids with Grandpa and Grandma. (Levi has started sucking on his hand lately, not sure what is up with that)

There was one last surprise for Levi - we bought him a used slide. He has been obsessed with slides lately and is always wanting to use our legs as slides, so we figured he was in need of his own.
Weeeeeeee...........
It was so nice to have my dad and Debbie down for the day. We had such a great time just all being together. And I loved seeing Levi really enjoy his birthday!!

The next day we celebrated again with his grandma and grandpa Jackman. Grandma Jackman made this incredible cake with a road and toy cars on top. Levi loves cars so it was perfect.

Levi licking the frosting off one of the cars. He thought that that was so cool!

Excitedly opening his present.

It was a CD player and book that played Sesame Street and other kid songs. He was jamming out to the music for the longest time. It was so cute!!
Those were two very fun days. It is so fun to be able to see such joy from your kid when they understand more what is happening around them. As we were looking at these pictures Levi would say "birthday" or "party" and get all excited because he remembers the fun that he had. I am so grateful to have family that love and support Levi and are able to celebrate some of these great milestones with us.
Wow.... two years went by fast!!!
