Happy 2nd Birthday, Bradyn!

A Veggie Tales Party

Welcome sign on our front door for Bradyn's party

 A game, "Guess the weight of the tomato and cucumber,"

representing Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber

 We used a butternut squash for "Jimmy, the Goard"

I'm so glad Jeff is good at art, because this was easy/quick for him

and I loved how they turned out

 And "Jimmy Goard"

And an eggplant for another character

 DVD's as decoration for the party

and a "Veggie Toss" game, using 

vegetables from the kid's kitchen set

 Bradyn was the first to wake up.

Good morning! 

Happy Birthday, Bradyn!!!

 This picture looks like a guilty face.
Today is when golf clubs and balls in the house

had to come to an end. 

We had something really expensive break,

our flat screen television in our living room.

 It was an accident, but I still talked to Bradyn
and had him sit in time out.
And after I took a couple pictures of him.

 Our cute little two-year old!!!

 Bradyn

 Daddy

 Julia

breakfast time!

 Jeff blowing up punching balloons for the kids.
Party is about to begin!!!

Jeff drew Veggie Tales faces on the balloons.

The balloons were a big hit, but boy did the kids get noisy!!

 Bradyn really does NOT like the camera

 Some of us being silly

 The Keneasters and us.  Julia, with wild hair!

 This is the best we could get.  Bradyn was not liking the camera!

 Grandma and Grandpa Keneaster with Bradyn and Julia

 the little ones: Julia, Brinley, Aurora, Bradyn and Matthew

We had more guests arrive after this that

unfortunately we didn't get pictures of with the group!

 I bribed Bradyn with a lollipop so he would stay on the couch

and of course we wanted to share! 

 Aurora, Evan and Matthew playing "Toss the Tomato."

We used a bean bag, Bob the Tomato, instead of a potato.

A cute picture of Aunt Brooke (She just turned 10). 

And another game behind her is "Pin the nose on Bob!"

 Me blindfolding Julia before she sticks the nose on Bob

 This was a game of "Limbo" that the kids played,

along with a Veggie Tales CD that we got from Chick-fil-A

Time to watch V.T.'s, "Dave and the Giant Pickle,"

in preparation for another game

Cousin Aurora was the only one that sat still 

to watch the movie, but that's okay!

 Here is family and friends hanging out!

 Time to go outside to defeat the Giant Pickle!

 The kids threw water balloons! 

 Jeff had to dodge the water balloons, 

so he didn't get wet.

 I just love these little boy hair cuts, nice and clean shaven.

 Bradyn opened one gift, a water squirter.

 All the little kids and BIG kids got to play.
It looks like the Bigger kids were having too much fun, j/k.

Everyone LOVED this game!!!

 The weather outside was just perfect too!

 Julia and Aurora are taking turns

 Matthew's turn

 Bradyn and Matthew try to defeat the Giant Pickle together

 Here are the ladies watching the kids play,

while both Grandpa's went to go pick up the pizza.

 Jeff was done holding the Giant Pickle,
 but Evan and Bradyn were still at it!

 The poster board held up for a really long time.
I think they finally defeated the Giant pickle!

 Here is Bradyn

 and his buddy, Jake (who is 15 months)

 Finally got a few happy faces of Bradyn

That must be because we were outside.

Bradyn LOVES the outdoors.

Pizza is here!  We love Ciceros pizza!

It's $10 for large (which is really like an extra large),

so it is a great deal and yummy!

 Our home got quiet for just a little while.

 All their energy used, made them hungry.
