Party People

We were invited to (and went to) 2 parties today. We are POPULAR.

The 1st party was Lauren's Housewarming party. Michael's mom is spending the weekend with us so Spencer stayed home with her and napped while we went to Lauren's. We considered telling people that we left Spencer home with Ginger because it worked out so well for those kids in Peter Pan.

Josh and Amy were there with baby Jacob. I swear he has totally changed in just 1 week. He's gained weight too. This is not the best picture because of the sun beam behind Michael's head, but Jacob looks so cute I couldn't not share it.

Better with the sun issue, but now Jacob is covering his cute little face. The new homeowner Lauren.After Lauren's party we went and picked up Spencer and Michael's mom and headed to Tyler's 1st birthday party.

Spencer playing with his girlfriend Lilly. A picture where all the subjects are looking at the camera AND smiling. Incredible. Unbelievable.Tyler has a cool little jungle gym in the backyard.Here's the birthday boy. Nothing like playing in the rocks at your own party. Spencer got a little rock time himself.Karen (Tyler's mommy and my friend since 5th grade) was a baker extraordinaire and had cupcakes for everyone.Tyler had his own smash cake. He wasn't quite sure what to do with it.Hey! This frosting stuff is fun. Fun to smoosh all over my mother!It's the only time I have ever seen a totally clean baby and a totally frosting/cake covered mother.

Spencer was all over his cupcake.

He had the messy face to prove it.
It's hard to see in the picture but Zac had just smashed a cupcake into his mother's chest. She was covered with cake and frosting. Karen still had a fair amount of cake and frosting all over her. We wanted to get a group shot before Chelsea left so I had to stand next to Frosting 1 and Frosting 2. It was a little close for my comfort.Laura was supposed to be here too but her daughter got sick this morning so they didn't drive up from Tucson. We missed her. But Laura, at least you didn't have to stand next to Frosting 1 and Frosting 2 and have your picture taken. (Just kidding! Love you Chelsea {Frosting 1} and Karen {Frosting 2})

Tomorrow is Michael's birthday. He's going to be 33. I've been celebrating birthdays with him since he turned 20. I bought him a hat that year. Spencer already went ahead and told Daddy what we bought him at Old Navy. Geesh! 2 years old and already ruining secrets.
