Happy 2nd Birthday, Sully!

Hey, everyone! Well, Sullivan is now an official 2 year old! His birthday was on Saturday and it was a very fun day for a little Sully! We started out the morning with his present from Mommy and Daddy--a new train set! Sully came downstairs that morning to find a new train set all set up and ready to play with. He LOVES it, and has been playing with it all day, everyday! Then, Saturday afternoon, Sully had a birthday party down at our pool with all of his friends, Grancie, Gramps, and Lindsay--even Auntie Sara and Stephen came in town for the big event! It was so fun! Sully's buddy, Jack, turned 2 the day before Sully, so we had a joint party since Sully and Jack have all the same friends. It was double the fun! The theme of the party was Elmo, so there was Elmo everywhere! Sully was in heaven! He LOVES Elmo! It was quite hot, but the kids didn't care with the pool to splash around in--I even brought down Sully's blow-up pool from the house for extra fun and Lindsay gave Sully a bubble machine that we took down for the kids to enjoy! The party was a big success and Sully and Jack had a great day!

We took some great pictures throughout the day to share--enjoy!!!

Sullivan loved it when everyone sang "Happy Birthday!"

Sully knew just what to do with that cake--eat it!!

Yummy!
Sully and all of his buddies ate some cake together--it was so quiet--they were busy eating!

Sully's biggest fans!

After the party, we went back to the house to open presents with Grancie, Gramps, Lindsay, Sara and Stephen. Sully got so many fun toys to play with and was so wound up and excited with all of his new things! We ended the festivities outside with one more surprise--a new tricycle from Grancie and Gramps! Needless to say, Sully LOVED it and has been asking to ride it constantly! The tricycle even came with an Elmo doll--perfect ending to Sully's day--he takes Elmo everywhere with him!

Beep, Beep! Sully loves to ring the bell!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures! We all had a great day--especially Sully!

Sully's visit to the Train Museum!

Last week when we returned from the beach, I took Sully to the train museum with Malley and Catey! Sully thought it was super fun seeing all the trains and even getting to go inside many of the trains! Sully is really into trains right now, so he had a great morning! Maybe Mommy and Daddy will get him a train set for his birthday next week! :) Sully sure does hope so!

Here are the pictures from our visit. Sully was having so much fun, it was really hard to get him to stop and pose for a picture!

Sully and Malley were so excited about the trains!

Choo, Choo!

This was Sully's favorite train!

Silly Sully!

Sully thought it was pretty fun one day to put on some sunglasses---he looks very cool! He also LOVES talking on the phone. He is always asking me to call people so he can chat away. Some days, he gets talking like crazy --it is so funny to hear him! His favorite is when Grancie and Gramps talk like they are the Sesame Street characters--I sometimes think he really believes he is talking to all his favorite characters! So funny!

Hey guys! Look at me!

Hello!

Enjoy the pictures! Have a great weekend! Next weekend is Sully's big 2 year old birthday party! It is going to be a fun-filled weekend---we will probably have lots of fun pictures to share!

Sully's beach vacation at Seaside!

Hello everyone! We are back from our week adventure at Seaside! Sully, to no surprise, LOVED the ocean and playing at the beach. We had such a great time! We parked our car on Wednesday when we arrived and didn't get back in until a week later when it was time to go home. We walked everywhere and just enjoyed the slow life. We came back all rested and relaxed--it was hard to leave. We would go to the beach early in the morning and then come back for lunch and Sully's nap--Brett and I found ourselves napping most days too! We would go to the pool in the late afternoon and then either go into town for dinner or cook back at the house. It was a perfect set-up. We often went into town and would visit the toy store where Sully would play with the train set or the toy animals--and of course for icecream! We took so many fun pictures--we picked out some of our favorites to share with everyone--enjoy!

The first night we arrived, we unpacked and went into town for dinner. After we ate we went for our first look at the ocean. These pictures are from that very first night when Sully saw the ocean for the first time. The pictures tell the story--he LOVED it! The picture is a little fuzzy because of the lighting, but his face is priceless! He was totally taken back by what he was looking at!

After his initial shock, he was off and running towards the water!

Ready for the beach--Day one!

Sully sat by the water and loved waiting for the waves to crash up on shore and get him all wet! He would giggle so hard when the water rushed up on him!

Woosh!

King of the water!

Sully and I had a fun time playing in the water! The waves would crash up on us and then pull us back--Sully was laughing SO hard! He loved it!

So fun!

One night after dinner we went down for a walk along the beach. This picture is just so perfect, we had to share!

What a great picture--we even captured his shadow!

Sully loved the pool. He would grab all of his gear and lead the way. One of the pools in Seaside was only about a block away from our house, so it was a pefect place to hang out with Sully in the late afternoons!

Splish, Splash!

Sully loved being buried in the sand. Brett would dig a big hole, Sully would climb in and we could cover him up with sand. We did it over and over again because he loved it so much! He looks like a planted flower! A Sully Flower!

Brett and Sully loved going for snow cones in the afternoons. Sully would just dig his spoon right into Brett's treat!

Brett would take Sully in the ocean and they would play in the waves--Sully loved it!

On our last night in Seaside we stopped by and outdoor concert in the main area of town--we got Sully a glow necklace--he thought it was pretty cool!

Well, these pictures are a little taste of our fun vacation. There were so mant great shots of Sully to choose from, we hope you like the pictures we chose to share with you all. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
