TWO!!! TWO!!! My two are two! It is hard to believe! Happy Birthday to my sweet little boys!

I have a literal explosion of cake pictures, I will get right to it! I baked cakes up this morning while Trevor was eating breakfast. When the boys napped, it was time for some cake-sculpting! First Trevor’s cake, is anyone surprised?

Brendan got an owl from his all-time favorite “Peek-a-boo Forest” book

Get ready..

Get set..

Smash! Trevor was very excited. He said “ZZZZZ Truck! OOOHH!” (which is what he calls the garbage truck)

I think Brendan was less than excited

“No more OOOWWWWLL CAAAAAKE!!!!”

Bye bye owl

To finish off the cake, Bill thought he would give Trevor a wooden mallet!

Brendan thought the hammering was hilarious and wanted the mallet, until he got the mallet

If the pictures were not enough, you can witness all of the fun and excitement in this 8.5 minute video!

Making these cakes was so much fun, I can’t wait until the boys are old enough to come up with their own ideas and help make them. The day was a smashing success and everyone is totally wiped out!!

Happy happy birthday, sleeping boys!

Technically, it is Week 53 – Day 1, but week 53 only has one day. This is the last day that these little guys will be 1yr olds!

Keeping with “tradition”, we did a photo shoot today in our DIY photo studio. Mr. Photogenic stole the show!

No teddy bear!!

Trevor did a good job too, initially!

He is signing “candy” because Gramma was bribing him with Reeses Pieces

Cute boys with Gramma

Cute boys with Mommy

Cute boys with Daddy

I know everyone loves the outtakes as much as I do!

It is birthday-eve, so the boys had to get crazy with some “Krazy Kookie Dough”

“What did you say about my hair?”

A while back, I was playing with Brendan and would put toys on my head. He would push my nose and I would say “beep” and allow the toy to fall to him. Weeks later, I put a toy on his head and he started pushing his own nose! That is his thing now.

The nose again!

What, you thought he was going to eat it?

Our photo shoot would not have been possible without a ton of setup work by Bill and a ton of wrangling work by Gramma and Nurse Angel. I simply can not believe that their birthday is tomorrow!! And so ends the blog for a second amazing, crazy, stressful, joyous, silly, difficult, incredible year!

Trevor did a great job on some errands this morning while Brendan had PT with his nurse. He takes some reading in the car.

The boys had a little fight over the “Gong Gong” book

So we got out a big bucket of Geotrax

“Emergency? Yes there is something wrong with my brother, he is playing nicely and hasn’t tried to tackle or clobber me at all! Oh wait, a fireman is here!”

Brendan loves Trevor and just wants to do EXACTLY what Trevor is doing all the time

Trevor still takes his “guys” to the concession stand in the station and they order Cokes, fries, and shakes

Brendan wants the guys too

Snack break

Brendan just wants the salt

Brendan has been waiting a long time for this!

I should have done this much much sooner. I have had a number of people ask me what the boys could use for their birthday. I put together a quick list of things that they would love on Amazon that I will update and use for Christmas ideas too. Amazon and iTunes gift cards are sure things!
AMAZON WISH LIST

The best gift of all would be to leave a message on the blog for them on their birthday!
