Happy Birthday Erick!

Well today makes it two years with the greatest boy, named Erick! (That was for Tripp)
We had a party Sunday night, the day before his actual birthday. He LOVES Thomas the Train, so he had a party themed with it. Well mainly the cake, which took me till 4 in the morning to finish. When you want to get creative, it sure isn't easy sometimes. His presents were mostly fixated on Thomas the train too. Erick was saying "Woohooo..." the whole time he was opening them. He expected to play with each one instantly too, but they have an almost adult-proof way of packaging toys now, and if it weren't for my Uncle Barry's pocket knife, it wouldn't have been good.
And he sure did like my cake.


He blew out the candles before we even started singing the song, so we tried again and we got about halfway through and I figured, better out than burned.

My Uncle Barry's birthday is on the 20th, I think, but we celebrated his as well.
He's really into Micky Mouse and has an awesome collection. He's been at it for as long as I can remember anyway.
We're going to Adam's parents house for dinner tonight and I'm going to bring some cupcakes, I have to do something with all this left over icing, and so I'll probably have more pictures to add to this later.

I always said to myself that I would like to have kids, because it would be neat to have a little me running around. Naturally I thought I meant a little girl, 'cause that would be more like me in the physical sense, but Erick is exactly what I had in mind. He is my mini-me. He looks a lot like I did at his age.
This was my second birthday.

And this is Rachel, Sarah, and me.

Tripp on the other hand is Adam's mini-me. How blessed we are!
