Cayden's Birthday part 1!

Cayden turned two on the 15th which was the Sunday of our crazy busy weekend. We still wanted to make his actual Birthday a little special so the night before Mike and I went and got him donut man. He loves the round sprinkle ones so he was excited to have a nice healthy breakfast before we headed to church! =)

That night we went over to our Nana and Far Far's house for a family party. We had a lot of family down from Utah for the Wedding so we thought it would be nice to get together one last time before they headed home. Plus we were able to celebrate Cayden and Far Far's Birthday!

My Aunt and Uncle got him a Fire truck for his Birthday and it was extremely hard to open, it literally took everyone 5 to 10 mins just to get it out of the package..but it was so cute watching Cayden patiently waiting for it..

They had no idea he has a huge obsession with Fire trucks so it was a perfect gift..

The next day Uncle Bri bri gave him his gift..he got a train whistle (he is also obsessed with trains) and a harmonica which he loves and plays both well, especially the harmonica.

These two are so cute together, they have a special little bond..

That night we went to Don Jose's for Dinner! Unfortanately the service was awful, really really bad and we never have a problem there so because it was so late by the time we were done eating we didnt have them sing but luckily everyone got a good discount, and it was still nice to be together as a family =)

The day after the California Science center, my Cousin Tami had her wedding on the 14th, it was on the beach and they asked if Cayden could be the ring bearer..needless to say I was very excited. It was really cold and windy but luckily was a beautiful day(it was raining a lot the day before).

Looking out at the ocean with Uncle Bri bri...

I was really anxious to see how Cayden would do. We had a dress rehearsal the night before and he did great! The walk down the isle with the flower girl started out good...

My cousin had a really pretty shell that opened and she tied the rings inside to a ribbon that Cayden held, it was a really cute idea..

And then for some reason Cayden stopped, and then everyone was calling him so he wasn't quite sure what was going on..

Luckily, my cousin Kari was able to come and get him..everyone got a good laugh

My cousin looked so beautiful

Having fun in the sand with his second cousin McKenzie

They gave the little ones flowers hoping that would get them to stay and Cayden was being pretty funny with them..

Since we were so close to Balboa we thought it would be fun to head on over and get some Balboa Bars before we needed to get to the reception..

It was a very long busy day but a lot of fun and it was nice spending the day with Family =)

California Science center

On Friday the 13th,Cayden and I went with my mom, sister and her husband and some family from Utah to the California Science center! I had never been and was excited to see what was inside but a little hesitant since Cayden isn't the ideal age for this type of place. Luckily he did great and seemed to really enjoy it!

It was really rainy and super cold that day..

We went and saw a 3D movie about the Hubble, I again was a little hesitant because I thought for sure Cayden would not leave the glasses on and then the movie would just be blurry for him. Luckily it was only about 45 mins so I thought I would give it a try!

Well I was wrong! He wore the glasses!

Well not the entire time but most of it! At first he was getting freaked out by all the objects shooting out at him but then he thought it was hilarious..I am so glad he enjoyed it!

After the movie we headed over to lunch, luckily by then most of the schools had left (it was packed when we got there). My mom and I were very very sad to let go of our Diet cokes to go back..

Wall of ice..

There was also a small section which was an aquarium..

My Uncle Bob got my mom and I to go into a wind tunnel that is supposed to replicate a hurricane, I thought it would be fun to get Cayden in there too..

I think Cayden thought he was flying..he probably would have been if I let him go!

We headed over to the gift shop before we left, I think I found my new calling =)

This is sadly the only semi-group shot we have..my cousin Christie, husband, and 3 kids are missing

I was really excited to give Cayden the gift I got him from the gift shop but I wanted to wait till we got home since Mike wasn't able to go with us. Cayden loves planes and doesn't have a toy one so I knew he would love it, and he does!

Ready for take off!!
