Des at two

Des hit the big 2 yesterday. It was the busiest conference sunday I've had since, well, last year. I baked two cakes. Not just two layers of cake but two different recipes since the first was TERRIBLE. Awful. No good. Very bad. I am, however, now very converted to cake mixes. (sorry carrie.) So between all the cake baking, frosting, cooking of dinner, building of bed, and listening I only had a few minutes to hit the shower before the babe was up and we were headed into full party mode.

The party really got started the day before in Fillmore where we celebrated with Kolt's family. The highlight for Destry:



It was like he died and gone to heaven. His eyes lit up, his jaw dropped, and he practically leaped inside when aunt jessi brought it out. Favorite. toy. Ever.

Here's some other snap shots of the two days:

"fixing the car"


a big boy bed! (notice how we're all peaking from the hallway?)

running to open presents


blowing out the candles round three (he couldn't wait for the singing to be over so we had a "do-over" for pictures.)
