Popsicle Party

We threw Marcus a popsicle party, since he is obsessed with popsicles. It was a fun swimming party with our immediate family and so much fun! We had so many of Marcus's cousins come and support him for his birthday. We had a kiddie pool, a slip n' slide, water balloons, a fun sprinkler, pizza, fruit, and of course popsicles.

 The kids playing on the swing set!

 I have one of the best friends ever! She told me a few months ago that at a family reunion she learned how to do balloon animals on you tube for a family carnival. I asked her if she would come to marcus's party and make some balloon animals for the kids. (she also was the first one to know about the gender reveal because she filled up the box  with the balloons :) The kids loved her! She had this apron that her grandma gave her and knew how to make the cutest things with the balloons! Thanks so much Ashleigh!

 Marcus got a really cute hat that stayed on for only a few seconds.

We had pizza and fruit, watermelon on sticks to look like popsicles. We also had a popsicle cake, thank you pinterest. Instead of cake we had a cake made out of popsicles. We also had popsicle cupcakes.

 This is my favorite picture of the entire party! He wanted some of daddy's popsicle along 

with the two in his hands!

Enjoying his cupcake

Marcus got some great gifts from his cousins and family, thank you family!

 This was his big gift from mom and dad, a new bike! (actually it wasn't new, we found it on ksl for a steal of a deal!) But Marcus loves it! (Thanks joce for the idea!)

 

Daddy rushed off after the party to help James and Tiare move but daddy was able to squeeze in some train play time before it was bed time. It was a fun party, I was exhausted afterwards, and said to Dave "next year we are going to chuck e cheese". Happy 2nd Birthday Marcus!
