Fireman Ford

I'm posting some more pics (I know, I know) from Ford's party. I feel like there's not a ton of cute, modern party themes out there for boys. The girls have the party market cornered:)
Please excuse the photography. I'm still learing how to use my D60.
The goodie boxes read "thanks for a blazin' fun party"

Here's why we call him JABA!

Let the celebration begin...

We took Ford out for birthday pancakes this morning. We went to the Huckleberry. Ryan and I had breakfast here after every single one of my OB appointments while I was pregnant with Ford. Over breakfast we reminisced and enjoyed watching Ford play with his monster truck from Kailyn.

His big party is going to be on Sunday. After all the craziness that was Christmas, I needed as much time as possible to pull this off. Those pics will come soon. In the meantime, here's some pics of the big boy enjoying some of his gifts

His "monsta truh" from Kailyn.

Opening his steering wheel game from Grandpa Marvin.

Ryan picked this model barn out all on his own. It was by far Ford's favorite gift!


Uncle Carl and Aunt Janet sent Ford some birthday money. But, he had way more fun with the stickers on the card! Thanks guys, it's going straight in the college fund:)

To Ford, With Love

On this day two years ago, you entered the world and my life forever changed. I never knew how much I could love someone until you were born. I thank Jesus for you, my sweet and precious son, everyday. I pray that your 2nd birthday is full of love, laughter, happiness and Gord's grace. I pray you find the good in every situation and that your cup is always half full. I pray you have your dad's common sense and level head and that you bring calm to stressful situations. I pray you learn compassion, honesty, truth and integrity. I pray you love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and every ounce of your being. I want you to always love your brother, and stick up for him when kids are mean to him. I pray he does the same for you. I pray that Daddy and I have the strength and conviction to raise you to be a good man and that we are good examples for you even when times are tough. I pray all of this for you because I want you to be the best you can be. You are already the most perfect you we could ask for! Happy birthday, son. Mommy, Daddy and Sutton love you to infinity and beyond!
