Fordham's Second Birthday Party

What a perfect day for a poolside party - not too hot, not too many bugs, lots of friends, and of course, lots of precious chilluns!

We had such a wonderful time at Fordham's BDP. Reeves loved the playground and the planes and the pool. My favorite part - the kiddie pool. This means there is absolutely NO reason for momma to take off her clothes and expose this bathing suit bod! Thank you, Smiths, for thinking of us mothers!

Fordham assures Reeves that a missing wing is no problem on his planes. Daddy can fix anything!

Mills and Anne took over the roles of airplanes after the jumbo jet broke in half. (They didn't fly quite as far as the styrofoam ones, but they were a bunch cuter!)
James is just about ready to take off and play with the other kids. If only it weren't for this pesky "not being able to walk" thing! What a relief it is when you don't have to hold them the whole time!
Millie Lewis, here she comes! Eliza was quite the bathing beauty.
Spencer and DuBose show Reeves how the big boys roll.

Spencer is waiting patiently for the cutting of the super cute airplane cakes.

More eager anticipation. (And, unfortunately, my only picture of MK. How did that happen? Time for a photo shoot.)

Fordham, what's it like to be the son of Betty Crocker? Caroline, your cakes ROCKED!

Jackson either a) has really mean parents and was only given a teeny piece, thereby allowing him to clean his plate in one bite, b) is a super neat eater and never gets icing anywhere on him, or c) loved it so much that, even though he was given a normal size piece, was still prompted to chipmunk the whole thing, savoring the flavors while simultaneously enjoying his mobility. And, even if the answer is (a), his parents are still not as mean as Reeves mother who, without thinking, had her child sit at a table where cake was being eaten all around him, knowing that he couldn't even have a taste. Thank goodness for infant amnesia. I don't think Reeves is old enough to remember this, so it shouldn't come up in any of his future therapy sessions! I did, however, allow him to play with a water bottle. Don't say I neva gave ya nothin'!

Fordham - hmmm, not such a neat cake eater, but equally as effective!

Finally, some pictures of the Birthday Boy and his first love!

Thank you, Smiths, for a great morning! Happy Birthday, Fordham!
