Happy 2nd Birthday Layton!

I can’t believe I have a two year old now.  It seems like he was just a little baby and now he is turning into a little boy so fast.  He is becoming more independent each day and his new favorite phrase to say right now is “mom I do it by myself.”  We celebrated Layton’s birthday last week in Rockport with all my family.  We also celebrated my nephew Cooper’s 3rd birthday since the boys share a birthday.  We drove down Wednesday night after work so we were able to spend Thursday, Layton’s actual birthday with a morning at the park feeding the turtles, playing on the playground, and then a trip to the beach.  Layton loved the beach this year!  He had so much fun digging in the sand and swimming “in the big swimming pool” as he called the ocean.  The Rockport beach is so family friendly with playgrounds and it is very clean.  Daniel, Lauren and the kids and Aunt Amanda all made the trip to Rockport Friday night and arrived just in time for the little Mickey Mouse birthday party we had at the R.V. park for the boys.  We grilled hotdogs, hamburgers and had a delicious cake.  Layton had a special request that we have “crazy party hats” at the party so we had two different kinds of hats.  Layton and Cooper had so much fun opening presents and then playing with all the new toys.  It is so much fun to sit and watch the two boys play together.  They get so excited when they see each other and play so well together.  We all went to the beach with the kids on Saturday and got to witness little miss Kyleigh’s first trip to the beach.  She loved splashing in the water but wasn’t too sure about the sand.  We had a great time celebrating with family and we can’t wait to go back to Rockport for our annual family trip in July when Carter and Laura can also be there.  Here are lots and lots of pictures from our fun weekend in Rockport.
