Mason's 2nd Birthday

Mason turned 2 on September 16, 2014.  I can't believe that we officially have a 2 year old, time goes by way too fast. 

We celebrated Mason turning 2 all week. 
Tuesday, September 16th--Mason's actual birthday. 
Tuesday was Mason's actual birthday.  After Mason woke up that morning I fixed him his favorite breakfast of toast with peanut butter and chocolate milk to drink.  After breakfast we got ready for the day and played around until it was time for the fun to begin. 
At around 12:30 we went to eat lunch with Casey.  We stopped at Wendy's on our way down to Springville and got Mason his favorite lunch of chicken nuggets, french fries, and a lemonade to drink.  We met Casey at his work and we ate lunch.  After we got done with lunch we wondered over to Casey's office.  Casey had bought Mason a new Monster truck and he had it hiding in his office.  Casey gave Mason the new monster truck.  Mason loved it and immediately wanted to open it and test it out down the hallways of Casey's school.

After Casey's lunch break was over, we packed the boys in the car and drove home.  After we got home it was time to put Mason and Tanner down for naps.  After Mason and Tanner woke up from their naps we continued to celebrate Mason's birthday.  We invited grandma and grandpa Mecham over to watch Mason open his presents.  Mason was so excited about opening his presents.  He got a few new bath toys, a slide, and a big dump truck. 

After opening his presents, we sang happy birthday and enjoyed eating Mason's birthday cake.

Soon it was time to tell grandma and grandpa Mecham good-bye and hello to grandma and grandpa Furr. 
Grandma and Grandpa Furr came over to wish Mason a happy birthday and give him his presents.  They also stayed for one of Mason's favorite dinners--hamburgers (he mostly just eats the hamburger patty and the pickles), apple and banana salad, and chips.  Grandma and grandpa gave Mason a cute new outfit and a toy forklift.  Mason looks so handsome in his new outfit and he loves playing with his forklift. 

Mason's second birthday was winding down and it was time to tell grandma and grandpa good-bye so we could put Tanner and the birthday boy to bed.  Mason had a wonderful birthday full of fun and celebrating.

We continued celebrating through the weekend with family. 
Saturday, September 20th--Mason's birthday party with my side of the family. 
We celebrated all the September birthdays on Saturday.  I planned a Monster Truck themed birthday party with games, yummy food, and of course birthday cakes. 

We started the evening at 6:00  we started by eating a delicious dinner of Cafe' Rio salads.  Everything tasted so good.

 

After dinner we played the games.  I made 3 games.
1.  Pin the Tires on the Monster Truck.  We attempted to blind fold all the kids, then they had to tape the tires on the Monster Truck. 

2.  Monster Truck Balloon Pop--All the kids would throw darts at the balloons to try to get them to pop.

 

3.  Monster Truck Pinata--We, again, attempted to blind fold the kids while they whacked the Pinata, that was full of candy, down. 

Everyone had a great time playing the games. 

After the games we opened presents and ate dessert.  September is a very busy month for birthdays in my family.  We celebrated Mom's, Lin's, Meg's, Casey's, Mabel's, and Mason's birthday.  Mason was so excited about opening more presents--he definitely got very spoiled
The Hess family gave Mason:  a construction site Play-Doh set
The Furr family gave Mason:  Killer Bee monster truck
The Furr family gave Mason:  a tractor and big rig book
The Clasby family gave Mason:  Monster Mutt monster truck
The Bodily family gave Mason:  a fire engine, big rig, and school bus books
Mason loves all his presents and loves playing with them all day. 

For dessert we had an assortment of cookies, Magleby's Chocolate and Lemon cake, and Jello cake.  I'd say everyone left the party with full tummies.  After dessert we picked up the party and told our good-byes to everyone.  We are so grateful for family and the time we get to spend with them!

We ended our celebrating of Mason's birthday on Sunday with Casey's family
Sunday, September 21st--Mason's birthday party with Casey's family.

The party with Casey's family started at 7.  We sang happy birthday to Mason, had some delicious Monster Truck cake, opened Mason's birthday present from grandma and grandpa Mecham,  and ended with a fun game of Pictionary.  

Grandma and Grandpa gave Mason a cute dog named Scout.  Mason loves Scout!!

Andy and Tayci gave Mason a bag of Muddy Buddies.  I had no idea Mason loved Muddy Buddies so much, the big bag they gave him was gone by the next morning!

We had so much fun celebrating out little Mason, all week long.  We are so grateful for Mason.  He adds so much fun and excitement to our lives.  We are so excited to have Mason in the terrific twos, we love this age and stage Mason is in.  He continues to makes us laugh and smile everyday!!
