Caleb was given this power wheel by the parents of our good friends Chris and Carrie and he absolutely loves it! Jessica their daughter drove Caleb around for at least a half hour and he laughed and giggled the whole time! Of course when it was time to come in he wasn't very happy. It is currently sitting in our backyard and everytime he walks by it he wants to go for a ride. Hopefully by the end of summer he will be able to drive it himself.

Silly Kid!




For his birthday Caleb was given a set of mega blocks from a friend. Instead of playing with the blocks like he should, he walks around with the container on his head. Silly Kid!

Caleb Kennel


For some reason Caleb likes to go sit in the dog kennel. I guess that Molly doesn't mind very much :)

Caleb's 2nd Birthday!


The theme for Caleb's party was Mickey Mouse since Caleb really likes him. We had Mickey Mouse shaped cheese sandwhiches, all kinds of fruit and Reuben's home-made chili. The party was a lot of fun!

Mickey Mouse Hats


On the Disney site they had an area for a Mickey Mouse birthday party and I printed these hats on my computer and put them together. The kids thought they were pretty fun.

Mickey Cake


For the cake I did a Mickey Mouse face. I used a large round cake pan for the face and a small round glass dish for the ears. I had to bake the ears seperately since I only had one dish. I didn't want to mess up on the face so I traced the cake pan on paper and drew the outline of the face and then cut it out and used that for a stencil. I also got on to the paint program on the computer and made eyes and a nose. I really didn't want to mess up on the cake. I ran into problems while making it but all in all it was really fun to do the cake and it turned out pretty cute.

Spoiled Child


As Reuben puts it, he made out like a bandit. Caleb got a ton of toys for his birthday. Not that he needs anything... he got a Mickey Mouse raceway, a basketball hoop from grandma, a learning mailbox that he has played with the most and a bunch of other presents.

Pin the Nose On the Mickey


For one of the activities I made a Mickey Mouse face and a bunch of noses and the kids played pin the nose on the Mickey. They all did a really good job. The prizes for the games were Mickey Mouse kites. Of couse we didn't want any body to feel left out and so we gave a kite to each family.

Coloring Activity


One of the activities that the kids did was coloring a picture of mickey. I found a picture on the disney website that had mickey at a birthday party which was perfect. They really enjoyed coloring.
