He's 2!

That's right.  Our little guy is two!  It's hard to believe I'm the mother of a two-year old!  Where did our baby go?  He's so grown up and talking up a storm.  There is never a dull moment with Jaden around.  He's all about F.U.N. and we just can't get enough of his cuteness.  Happy Birthday Jaden!

Jaden has been celebrating his birthday for the last two weeks with packages & cards coming at random times.  He gets so excited and knows exactly what to do!:)

Thank you for spoiling our son!  He is so lucky to have so many love him!  He definitely felt special.

We've been telling Jaden he gets to move to a "big boy bed" when he turns 2.  He was stoked!  He loves his new toddler version crib, and has done great!  Didn't even bat an eye.  He still waits in his bed until I come into the room to get him.  Wow, right?!?  OR he would rather wait than wander into the darkness of his bedroom... it really is quite dark:)

Breakfast in bed on your birthday has become a tradition in our family.  Jaden wanted to eat breakfast in "daddy's bed" so that he did.

Jaden's birthday was on General Conference Sunday so we stayed in and watched conference, ate cake and ice cream, and let Jaden open up presents from us. 

The cougar shirt is not from us... AGGIES through and through!  We have a little cougar in our house though!:)  Casey and Kimber taught him the ways and Jaden's loves the fight song.

Thanks for the cute shirt guys, he likes it a lot!

Then it was party time!  We did a Halloween themed party the Saturday following his birthday.  I knew we would do a Halloween theme someday with him having an October birthday.  Originally, I didn't think I would end up doing a party this year, but as we got closer and closer to the big day, I just couldn't help myself!  It was SOOOO much fun planning and prepping for this party.  Halloween is just such a cute holiday if you leave out all the scary gory stuff.

The little ones came all dressed up in their costumes.  They all looked adorable!

From left to right...

Jaden: pirate

Kenzie: witch

Clark: Buzz Lighyear

Brody: dalmatian dog

 Cole: ninja

Ella: witch

Adrienne: ballerina

Kiera: witch

Audrey: stylin' toddler model in her jeggings and boots;)

Then it was time to dig into the grub.

Everything on the menu had a spooky twist to it.  It was a lot of fun!

Love the 3 little witches all eating together.

We did a couple activities: 

'doughnuts on a string' eating contest (Kiera was the champ)

and bobbing for apples:)

The older kids seemed to like the 'doughnuts on a string' activity, and the little ones preferred the bobbing.  They were splashing and laughing non-stop!  It was really cute.

After we dried off, we came back in for birthday cake.

What started out as a giant cupcake, ended up just a cupcake top.  It sadly toppled over in the night, but was still pretty cute.

After stuffing their faces with frosting, we opened presents.  Everyone was so generous and Jaden LOVES... seriously LOVES his gifts!

 He's been playing with them non-stop since.  Can you tell everyone is fully aware of his 'Cars' obsession? :)

Thanks everyone!

We had a candy table for everyone to collect some spooky goodies on their way out.

Some birthday moments caught on video:

Happy Birthday to our sweet 2-year-old:)

On a side note:
Jaden didn't grow a whole lot the last six months, but this guy is now 37 inches tall and 34 lbs.
Still off the chart in every way.
