a birthday, origin, and almost crawling

Morning! Here's a quick photo update of the last few weeks.

I put up a birthday part blog post, but here are a couple of photos from Travis' actual birthday, June 5. Travis, Jett and I were a bit sick with colds, so it was a quiet day, then we had Wendy and Bill over for dinner that night. I made an ice cream cake, and we had spaghetti for dinner, it was a great little night. Jett officially sat on his own that morning too. We let Travis stay up as late as he could that night. Eventually at 9 pm he walked up to us and asked to go to bed, ha ha. So cute.

His gift from us. He absolutely loved it. Played non stop until he asked to go to bed.

Happy 2nd birthday Travis!

Very happy, and blew out his candle no problems!

Jett just loves the balloon

I think he had a great birthday. Thanks everyone. 

Little carnivore. 

Winter in Australia: put on a hat and a sweater, but the sun is still shining. 

So stoked to be able to sit and play with his brother. 

Check out his sweet uggs!

Here, EAT!

Travis' 2nd Birthday Party!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE TRAVIS, 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Today we celebrated Travis' birthday with a party with all his little friends. We had a full gang running around. Originally the party was going to be at the park near our house, but with heavy rain this weekend, I managed to rent the hall we usually have playgroup on Friday's at. It was a great venue; all fenced in, a playground, a huge undercover area for when it did rain, and an inside too, complete with a kitchen area so we could make coffee and store everything. We had an amazing day. Thanks to everyone who came out and celebrated with us and to those who wanted to be there but couldn't make it, you were with us in spirit! There was lots of sugar, balloons, bubbles, fun and even a bouncy castle, thanks Lona! It was so fun to celebrate with everyone and really made it feel like a party. So good to have so many great friends to invite! Oh also, huge thanks to Emma for helping me with all the food making and set up too. I can't believe I thought I didn't have enough food, always the way I suppose, we had so much left over!

A great day all around, Travis had a great day and spent all afternoon telling me about the bouncy castle and asking me if we were going to the party (bart as he calls it) again, ha ha ha.

I didn't take any photos, so huge thanks to Wendy for taking so many! And thanks for letting me steal them all!!!

Also thank you to Liam, Kaylee and Hannah, just don't have photos of all gifts opened, Travis and his helpers ripped thru them pretty fast. 

He had an awesome day. 

Huge thanks again to everyone who came, and wanted to come but couldn't be there. Travis is such a lucky boy to have such amazing friends and family. 

The weather was great, so we probably didn't need to switch the venue, but I'm glad we did, it's a cool place for playgroup and an even cooler place for toddler birthday parties. 

Lots of love to my little Travisaurus. Almost 2 years ago you changed our lives forever by becoming a part of it and made it so much better. We love you lots and forever. 

Love Mom and Dad, and little Jett too.
