Jackey and Robbie turn 2!

Believe it or not, our boys are 2 years old! Wow. That's all I can say. Wow. 2 years already!

We had a GREAT birthday week. It was my Spring Break and I got to spend all week at home with the boys, AND we had summer-like weather. Couldn't ask for more  :)

Grandma Kathy visited us the weekend before the boys birthdayday. She came bearing balloons, making her the boys' favorite person in history!

Jakey was not shy above diving into his cupcakes!

Robbie managed to stay a bit cleaner... for a while.

On Wednesday, the boys' actual birthday, Bob took the day off. We started the day with a little gift opening -- presents from Grandma Jean and Grandpa Don, Robbie's Godmother Suzy, and mommy and daddy.

This (no-water) "fish tank" from Don and Jean was a favorite right away.

Robbie was SO excited about this book from Suzy.

Mommy and Daddy got the boys bikes for their 2nd birthday. Yes, really! They're these cool toddler bikes that don't have pedals, so kids learn to balance, supposedly making the transition to pedal bikes in a few years easy... we'll see!

Robbie takes his bike for a spin in the driveway.

Jakey was the first to prefer off-roading in the grass. Now both boys' favorite place to "ride" their bikes is down the hill in our backyard!

Grandpa Jack and Grandma Sara came to visit the weekend after the boys' birthday. They came bearing 4x4's... our boys are crazy-spoiled, but they're lovin' it!

We're not sure if the boys will ever touch their bikes again, now that they've realized the power of batteries at the push of a button!

On St. Patty's Day, we had a little birthday party for the boys. Here are the guys playing in the (deflated) bouncy castle with their friend Cooper.

Bounce bounce bounce...

Party guests... Joey ("JoJo") and Cooper ("Coop")

Robbie, too!

Birthday morning (opening gifts)

Robbie steals Jakey's cupcake (pretty self-explanatory, although the actual video starts just after the actual theft)
