Fire Truck Birthday Party!

A fire truck 2 birthday party for Ford this year was a no brainer! He loves fire trucks so much and loves to make siren noises! I recycled last years HBD banner and swapped out the puppy pics for fire truck pics! Ford definitely knew the party was for him!

 

 

Party favors!

 

I did a second tier of his monthly pics 13 months thru 2 years old!

We had a fire truck bounce house and it was a hit!

Ford LOVED it as you can see!

 

Ford got some alone time in the bounce house with KK before the party started!

Happy Birthday to you!

 

I should have practiced blowing out the candle before because Ford had no idea what to do! He just wanted to touch it and say "hot!"

 

Time to open presents!

 

 

The Tonka truck was a hit! Thanks Bill and Sue!

 

 

 

 

Our little family!



Happy Hollow

We had to be out of the house for most of the day for an open house, so we took Ford to Happy Hollow in San Jose. It's a really sweet amusement park for little kids with a zoo, petting zoo, rides and giant slides! Ford loved every minute of it! I forgot my camera, but I captured most of it on my phone!

 

This little boy has such a great Dada!

 

Well he didn't love all of the park.....he was not into the goats and was a little afraid. I really can't blame him either! Goats have super crazy looking eyes and these were a bit aggressive!

These goats get feed all day long so they come after you if you have food!

 

He liked the caged animals much more especially the cow. One of his favorite animals!

This picture does this slide no justice! It was huge and I was a little worried Ford would be scared, but as usual I underestimated him and he proved me wrong!

 

All smiles!

 

Maybe it's beeing a first time mom, but I worried on every ride that Ford would be scared or not like it, but I was wrong everytime. He had to ride these cars by himself and we had to wait outside the gate, and I thought that he would freak out once it started going around and he couldn't get to us, but again  I was wrong he loved it and even made the fire truck siren noises as he passed by us!

The bug ride was a little boring for him!

 

He chose the Elephant "La La" on the carousel!

So this is a terrible picture, but I had to include it because I seriously CAN'T believe Ford rode this roller coaster twice! If you look closely behind the blur on the left you will see Ford and I. I have a death grip on him and he is loving it! The reason why Erik didn't get us in the pic is because the ride was so fast! The first hill was much bigger and for a 2 year old it was a scary roller coaster! Erik took him the first time and I thought it was a terrible idea and just knew that Ford would be balling crying when it was over, but instead he loved it and wanted to go again!

 

4th of July

We celebrated the 4th of July at The La Selva Beach Parade with our good friends the Bjornstad's! Robyn, Josh and the triplets were actually a part of the parade so we got to cheer them on when the passed!

 

Ford was very serious the whole time, which is very out of character for him, but as soon as the fire truck passed by he was all smiles!

 

The trips Griffin, Hudson and Landon!

 

The Bjornstad's were a part of the Multiples of Santa Cruz. They were the only set of triplets!

 

So serious!

After the parade they had a "Diaper Derby" race for crawlers and then for walkers! Hudson (the one in the hat and in the lead) won! He beat out his brothers and a few other crawlers!

 

The winner Hudson with his proud Dada!

 

Ford came in  a close second! He had the lead, but pulled up at the last second! We were still proud!

Super Ford!

Ford has discovered wearing a cape and flying through the house with the wind under his cape! His beloved "nah" serves as his super hero cape and he even makes the flying sound effect while soaring around!!! Here are some action shots!

 

whoops!
