Stephen's Birthday!

Stevie Boy turned two a couple of weeks ago! The family celebrated with a picnic dinner at a local park, birthday pie at home, and presents in the family room.
Stephen was really enjoying his meal. Open wide!
Junior and Daddy were likewise enjoying their meals. Thanks Mom!
The kids had fun running from slide to slide, climbing steps, crossing bridges, crawling through tunnels and swinging on swings.
Syndi was a good helper for Stephen.
But Stephen likes to be very independent.
Stephen got a little scared when Daddy pushed him too high, but the payoff of "flying" was well worth it.
Will you stop taking pictures and give us our underdog?
Stephen especially enjoyed when Daddy twisted the swing in circles and let him spin out of it. Maybe that smile gives it away.

Junior is a crazy climbing man.
Standing firm on the Rock!
Here comes the strawberry pie!
Happy Birthday Stephen!
One down. One to go.


OK, who gets to lick the icing off the candles?
Stephen wonders where his piece is.
Um...I think he liked the pie.

Ya, he liked it. Now you see why he's only wearing a diaper.Hey Dad, what's in there?
The kids anxiously await the contents of the box.
Stephen: "Great Dad, what am I supposed to do with this black thing?"
Daddy: "Aunt Chris and Uncle Brent sent it...ask them."
Daddy works diligently to assemble the trike while Stephen notices there is another present.
Here you go Stevie Boy!
Stephen: "Cool, it's got popcorn packing...literally!"
Daddy: "Thanks Aunt Mary and Uncle Justin. Paybacks are tough."
The perfect card for a two-year-old!
"Look Dad, there's more popcorn IN the toy's box!"
"Dad, I don't want to pose...there's popcorn to be eaten!"
Stephen using one gift to help assemble the other gift.
Done at last! What a cool ride.
