Introducing the newest member of our family...JEEP!
I've already gone on record about this at home, but will make it blog official also!--I do not approve of this vehicle...there I said it :)
I could not be any more thrilled for my amazing husband to have this dream come true for him! He does so much for our family and I am ecstatic for him to enjoy it! However, I think it's incredibly dangerous and I'm not excited about that. His cheesy grin when he sees it in the garage makes it worth it!

Happy 30th honey!

professional cake eater.

So, this event always deserves a post for itself! This child thoroughly enjoyed his last cake eating experience for a while! A professional he is!

SWEETNESS!!!

A video progression of our little cake monster :)

one last hoorah.

Daddy had to be out of town until the day after Case's birthday, so, the next day, we had our family party...the last stop on the talty's traveling circus :)

Of course the big kiddos had to help with the presents!

This little boy loves balls just like his big bro :)

And this boy was ready for take off!

Aunt Judy was helping Camden get into that cupcake :)

once again.

Everyone took a nice long nap after our fun afternoon, then after dinner, Case enjoyed yet another yummy cupcake :) By this point, the way he would get tickled about the cupcake coming towards him was priceless!

Let's dig in!

Of course this sweet guy makes every morsel count!

celebrating with the animals.

Next, we headed to the zoo with some friends!

(And Camden's "boy" Brennan happened to be there too :)

Cole, Anna, and Mabry are most likely scheming about something ;)

Sydney and Cole checking out the goat.

Anna and Cole on the merry-go-round.

Camden was LOVING going round ;)

My sweet birthday boy!!! I love you!

Totally scheming again ;)

Camden and Brennan were trying to climb, thankfully Brennan's daddy Jeff was there to help!

A very fun birthday afternoon for the birthday boy! :)

next birthday stop.

Case's actual "birth"day, as with the other two, was a bit more difficult for this mama! It is always way too hard to believe that an entire year has passed so quickly and my infant is now a toddler! It's a lot to handle!
So...we stayed really busy that day!
Our next stop...MCDONALDS!!! If this boy can't eat cake or donuts for every meal, he might as well have some chicken nuggets and french fries! (His next favorite items! He was also eating apples in case anyone is concerned about this child's intake of pure junk ;)

Did I mention that this boy loves chicken nuggets???

And this was the crew that came to eat lunch with us and celebrate! Many of you will recognize this crew but it continues to grow which makes me smile! :)
