Two

Happy 2nd Birthday Fulton!! Well, not officially until tomorrow, but we celebrating 

with his birthday party today. 

Sister did this cute 2 for the door made out of cupcake liners. Isn't she creative. 

It was a circus theme since that is what our life looks like a lot of the time. We had animal masks and clown noses for the little ones. Popcorn galore and fun little tins to eat it out of. 

Our friend Ford let us borrow his F balloon. We even had special Fulton Birthday 

water bottles that KK made us. 

Pops and Fulton tried on the clown noses to make sure they fit right. 

This little guy was pumped about his party. He couldn't wait for his friends to get there. We have been practicing saying how old we were going to be. He's not good at performing on cue, so sometimes you just get the stare look when you ask him. 

Kiki and Pete were there to help us celebrate.

And of course KK and Pops too. 

Sister's creativeness flowed over into the dessert area too. She made these cute cupcakes that look like popcorn in tins. I know, adorable right?

The most important part... the food table. We grilled hotdogs, had cheese dip, fruit and dip, goldfish, animal crackers, cheese cubes, popcorn, chocolate oatmeal cookies, and fiesta dip. I can't say that I actually ate anything during the party, but it sure was yummy afterwards. 

Fulton's babysitter, Mrs. Lavina, made his cake. Isn't it the cutest. She did a fabulous job. I never told her what I wanted, just told her circus theme, and she came up with this. It was a fun surprise to see it today. He even had his own cake, which did come in handy later as you will see in a minute. 

Our sweet friends... they are the best. 

Each of these families are so special to us and it blessed us that they took time out of their 

day to come celebrate Fulton's life. 

Time to sing Happy Birthday and blow out the candles. 

More precious folks. See that cute wooden bench? Mrs. Lavina made that for Fulton for his birthday. It is made from pallets. Too cute ! We can't wait to use it on the back porch. 

Oh and did I mention the cake was polka dotted inside. Love! Kiki and Fulton got one more jump in the bounce house after everyone left. Yes, that bounce house is pink and purple. The guy was running late, so to make up for it he left two bouncy houses for us, but the extra happened to be for a girl. 

No complaints here. 

Although we continued with our tradition and asked for no gifts, just bring a donation of peanut butter and jelly for the Oak Mountain Missions, the family (and some sweet friends) didn't abide by the no gifts policy. KK and Pops got Fulton his very first tricycle with helmet and all. He loves the bell on it! Kiki and Pete got him a cool shopping cart with food. He also got a bubble blower and a firetruck. Some of his friends gave him magnet animals, an F cape, bowls and plates, and water color books. 

So the party was absolutely wonderful. Beautiful 80 something degree weather, not a cloud in the sky. Great friends and fellowship, yummy food, and a blessed day. So, we were all working hard to clean up the aftermath and we come in the kitchen and find this.... someone sneaking himself a little cake, safety first of course.
