Happy 2nd Birthday Vaughn!

We celebrated Vaughns 2nd Birthday today! His actual Birthday is tomorrow but its also a holiday and kind of a busy day so we celebrated today! We had a Car's theme going cause Vaughn LOVE'S Car's!! So I, with a lot of coaching and helping of my mother, made Vaughn this awesome cake! Thats right, I made it!! Well we bought the cake pan from JoAnn's but still all the frosting that makes it looks soo wonderful was done by yours truely! Not to shabby, eh?

We had Vaughns Aunts and Uncles and Grandma's and Grandpa's over to help celebrate this exciting event! We started by have a BBQ. Yummy!!

Here's some fun candid pictures of who was there at the party. Thanks to Bran.
First me and Vaughn, not too bad:

Aunt Sara and Uncle David, who know's what their doing. What's wrong with your lips David?

Then Aunt Jayna, Uncle Alan, Grandma Brooks and Grandpa Brooks, they look pretty prepared for Brandon's picture taking.

Grandma Aaberg and Tai smilin' on the chair pretty unaware of a picture being taken.

Uncle Jordan, Aunt Kim and Baby Cousin "Jim". Lucky this is a pretty good picture of them.

AND finally Grandpa Aaberg:

This is Vaughn trying to blow up a balloon but not doing a very good job at it. Oh well it kept him busy for a min while we waited to open presents!

MAN look at all these presents. Vaughn is one SPOILED BOY!
Vaughn's first present was clothes. He didn't care too much for them so he just skipped that bag and went to then next.

Aunt Jayna and Uncle Alan gave Vaughn this really cool marker set that only writes on this special paper! That will be nice!

And they gave him more clothes. He pulled them out and said "cute" then put them back. He's such a silly kid.

Then he pulled the card off of Grandma and Grandpa Brooks present and tried to read it himself. It was so cute.

Then he tore into their present:

Thomas the Train!!

Dad and Tai helped him set it up and play with it.

Then he opened Grandma and Grandpa Aabergs gift. He was so excited it was wrapped in "man" paper!

A golf set!! It is so cute you can push the little galf cart around.

Then Uncle David and Aunt Sara spoiled Vaughn and got him a....

"Man hat"...

AND a scooter!! Yep and he does have the "hat" on backwards.

He kept just standing on the scooter hoping it would move or that someone would push him.

So the grandma's felt bad he was just standing on it so they both tried to show him how to put a foot down on the ground and push himself. That was pretty funny to watch!

Grandma Aabergs try:

Grandma Brooks' try:

No use. I think he just wants someone else to do all the work and push him around.


Then Brandon and I got him a BIKE! With a bell that took him atleast 10 mins. and 13 people later to learn how to use it!

Then Uncle Jordan and Aunt Kim gave him the cutest outfit! But again Vaughn wasn't too interested. Sorry guys. But I loved all the cute outfits and I'm glad he got so many. That kid gets dirty so fast you need a few outfits a day!!


Then it was time for cake and ice cream. So we sang as I brought out the cake. We had 2 candles on the cake for him. I didn't think he would know what to do but as soon as he saw the flames on the candle he blew them out!

Then for the sad part. I had to cut up the cake I worked so hard on. Well atleast it tasted good!

Happy Birthday Vaughn!! Your the cutest little guy EVER! Mom and Dad LOVE you TONS!!
