It's really been too long my dear blog buddies. My parents have been griping at me to "post some pictures of our grandkids! We miss seeing them!" (Bonus points if you used a pretend mom-voice when you read that!) Blogger barely recognizes my log-in. And my picture file is nearly bursting at the seems. BUT! In the midst of this crazy month, my precious baby boy celebrated his second birthday and is making his making his debut as a terrific 2 year old.
With an early May birthday (May 7) I'm pretty sure that Lincoln's birthday will likely collide on a Mother's Day weekend more often than not. My in-laws were kind enough to host Lincoln's birthday party at their house this year, which just happened to go hand in hand with celebrating Mother's day as well.
The weather was perfect, the food excellent and the company couldn't be matched. Lincoln's second birthday party was a success.
Here are some of the highlights of our day:
My birthday boy waiting for the party to begin! 
Great-Grandma W. and Elaina look summery fresh in their coincidental red and white gingham.
Elaina just "happened" to get a new princess dress to replace her tattered blue Cinderella dress.
Aunt Cindy thought of everything and supplied the bounce house to help counteract the affects of the cake and ice cream on my rascally children.
This is the truck that did my boy in. It was attached to the top of a gift and once Lincoln got his hands on his new wheels, as far as he was concerned, his birthday was complete. It was only present #2. No more were necessary or even remembered.
Along with Elaina's generous help, she and I had to finish unwrapping Lincoln's gifts and tried to entice him into noticing something more than just his truck. Hello one-track-mind
Lincoln's cake theme ended up being Sesame Street this year. Aside from cars, trucks and everything else with wheels, letters and numbers seem to fascinate my little guy and he does seem to enjoy the show as a whole. Let me not fail to mention that little boy party themed decor is minimal at best.
The cake was the only thing that distracted him from his new truck. Gotta love a kid who's willing to take the first taste for his guests, right?
Happy Birthday my sweet son. I'm so excited to see what age 2 has in store for us. I love you Lincoln Todd.

Your daughter's face in that princess dress photo is priceless. You can tell she just LOVES it! Happy birthday to Lincoln!
Oh, it looks like you all had a great party! She looks beautiful in that dress, too. Patrick used to be the same as Lincoln - one tiny thing would catch his eye, and that would be all she wrote on the birthday gifts.
Also, total score on the swingset! I love that it has such a big fort area. Were you able to find a curvy slide?
Thanks so much for coming by my blog the other day. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I'm a little behind. :) I'm going to add you to my feeder.
