Jayla's 2nd Birthday Party

Not sure what I was thinking that after having a baby three weeks ago, that it would be a good idea to throw Jayla a birthday party. Maybe it was the fact that my mother was going to be in town or that a birthday shouldn't go unnoticed, but afterwards I felt like I had been hit by a freight train. Guess my energy level isn't quite up to par yet. But we really had a great time with our neighbor friends and family.

The Jungle themed birthday cake! Josh did an great job making the cake, even though he burned his first batch of coconut flakes.

Blowing the party favors! Jayla thought these were so much fun. The new swimsuit is compliments of my brother and his family, J.M., April, Carter and Michael, in California. Thanks!
Blowing out the cake took Daddy and Mommy's help. She didn't understand that she had to get close to the candles.
Jayla's friends! Matias, Matthew, Tyler and Morgan! Jayla wouldn't wear her hat like the rest of them.
Sadee slept through the whole party in Grandma Karen's arms. Thank goodness!
Enjoying every bit of her cake and Ice Cream!

Here are the avid party goers. Thanks everyone for coming! We had a great day, especially enjoying the water balloons with the adults.
I wouldn't have posted this picture but as I was taking it, Tiffany, the woman on the left said "...and this will be on her blog by Monday."
