Chaz is 2!

The Birthday Boy

(Our dear friend Justin Stricklin took photos of Chaz's birthday for us as a gift and did an incredible job, as always! Thank you Justin for capturing yet another memory for us!)

It's official, he is no longer my Baby Chaz. He is my Big Boy Chaz and I am so proud of him!

Here I come to save the day!

Wonder Pets Wonder Pets, we're on our way... to celebrate Chazzy's second birthday!
That's right, Chaz's birthday was the Wonder Pets theme this year... HIS FAVORITE!!! Mom flew in from Texas and we put on a shin dig with Chaz's sweet friends and family. Homemade cupcakes, Blue Bell ice cream, a bounce house and pinata and we were set! A fun time was had by all!

Personally I think the bounce house was worth every penny to keep the kids out of the house and help them work off all the sugar we pumped them with! Besides, it was really fun! The kids even let us old folks play on it with them!

Pin the W on the Wonder Pet!
This game is still up on the glass door b/c Chaz LOVES it... a great gift idea and cheap too!

Pinata time!! Mom got Chaz a great pinata and filled it with dum dums and clappers! Our tree was not strong enough for it, so Dave held on tight and steered clear of the swinging bat!

Among friends at the party were some Kiser family! A first for us! Matt (Dave's brother) and Jennifer (his beautiful wife) and their two little ones are here for a few months in Jax. We love spending time with them and having them at special occasions like birthdays! Here, AnnaLee, Chaz's youngest cousin is trying her hand at busting the pinata!

Big Brother Charles had a great swing!

In the end, we let the big kids bust it open and Chaz got just what he wants, one lone blue dum dum that he held on to the remainder of the party!

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you..."
Chaz sang along with us... and now sings this song at least 3 times a day!

I can't believe he is so big... I can really see it in this pic!

Blowing out his candle.

Linny, Tuck and Ming Ming too!
All the Pets (as Chaz calls them) joined in the fun at the party too!

Dave made Chaz a special Wonder Pets Fly Boat cake!

found all my decor on etsy... even the fondant Wonder Pets. They are now sitting proudly on Chaz's book shelf, he LOVES them!

Enjoying his cake with Gigi!

Bounce House time for the 2 and under crew!

Excited??!!

Thank you to all of Chaz's sweet little friends and their parents! We had a wonderful time celebrating with you and are so grateful for your friendship... As Chaz says, "Tank You!"
