Carter's 2nd Birthday Bash

We had Carter's 2nd birthday party this past Saturday at the Sprinkler Park in Collerville. It was a perfect day for one precious little birthday boy.

The wonderful grandparents below were my saving grace that day. Eddie had to work and I was blessed with great help! My dad went to the park early that morning and reserved a table us.


Sweet brothers who ran out to the sprinklers when we arrived. Aren't they the cutest?!?!


My little 2 year old... Eddie and I are so proud of this adorable and sweet little guy.

Mom and Cash taking a drink break.


My little pouty lips... this baby boy would never need collagen.

After playing his little heart out, we sang happy birthday. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing and the candles would not stay lit... no worries, Carter told me that they were hot anyways :).

Singing happy birthday...!

Daddy feeding the birthday boy his cupcake.

Daddy and the birthday bug :)!

BEWARE... there is a whole lot of Carter cuteness below. I tried really hard to narrow it down to my faves, but there are still a lot. Enjoy!

Ready... set...

GO :). I can hear his sweet giggles by just looking at this picture. He melts my heart!

I thought I would post each side of his adorable face, along with his curls.

Again... I could suck those little cheeks off :)!

Carter playing with other kiddos... this was before the older girl covered up the water with her foot. Don't worry, no need for parents to intervene because Carter told her to stop. He thinks he is the boss!

Annnnd, at the end of his play fun, he looks like one worn out little guy. Sweet angel!

Below are pictures of all of his sweet friends/cousins that were able to come and share his special day.

My sweet Cash and Colton. Love these boys!!!

Cash again :)... showing us his sweet little fake smile.

Chase enjoying some food... cuteness!

His big brother, Reed with a sweet grin.

This picture makes me laugh; sweet boy.

Chase again... love it!

Porter man... I had the pleasure of playing with him, Will and Carter all afternoon. Is he a cutie or what?!?!

And, don't leave out the adorable big brother, Will. It is hard to keep up with this busy little cutie!

After the party, the Tapps came to our house to grill and spend the night. Will, Carter and Porter had a blast playing outside together and the adults enjoyed catching up. This is how we found Will at 5:00 - he fell asleep during time out :)!!!

But caught his second wind after his nap...

We even had a water gun fight, while Carter went on to bed.

And, Will and Porter took a bath in the "big" bathtub

Sunday morning, we woke up and I let Carter open presents. Thank you all for his wonderful gifts. He racked up on Cars toys, which is his current fave :)!!!


His gift from the Gapens (and he does have slight bed head)!

MATER... yay :)! He and Will love this toy!

Thanks, Papaw and Mammaw for the bubble mater. It has been a hit!

Thanks to the Pollans for the Cars book. Will and Carter love all of the sounds.


Pushing Mater...

We ended this great weekend by watching Cars 2 and both boys did great. It was Carter's first movie; I was so proud of him:)!



Thank you all for coming to celebrate with our precious little spitfire and for the wonderful gifts. We love you all!

We had a great time, and the cupcakes were delicious!

So glad we were able to come celebrate with sweet Carter. I too could suck on that sweet face all day and run my fingers through that beautiful curly hair!
