Waterworld: A Comedy with Tragic Twists and Lots O' Photos

Hi. Stupid water got in my eye. This pretty much sums up my opinion of my backyard water splash fest party this weekend. Was I consulted in the party planning? If so, I would have told my parents this idea: a door opening/closing party. Everyone would open and close doors for at least 2 hours. Now that sounds like a party.

But, since no one consulted me, I guess I'll join in the festivities. Here's Daddy 'helping' (forcing) me down the slide. I told him once is enough, thank you. I wonder if anyone likes the pool?

Looks like Joe is having a good old time.

The boys were splashing it up good and being their normal crazy selves.

Alyssa's practicing for the next doggie riding championship.

Everybody else is having a blast. I better be a happy little camper and put my game face. After all, there's cake and presents to come, so I have incentive. I'm just a little nervous, a little shy.

First I need a drink. A big drink.

Hey guys, I got a good one--from my Daddy. Celine Dion walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Why the long face?"

Gee, everyone ran away. Tough crowd. Better wet the whistle.















It's so convenient having this fresh water spring in my own backyard.

This looks ominous.

Here, Lil. Have one on me. Did you like my joke?

I'll take that smile as a 'yes'. Yea!

Now that I'm a comedian, I demand the star treatment. Time to sun myself. I'll work when I feel like it.

I'm enjoying my mudbath. I wish I could always take my baths in mud. Now that's a birthday present!

Just as I'm getting acclimated to the crowd/water/mud, Mommy announces it's time for cake and ice cream. Sounds good.

Here's my cake. It sure is cool, don't you think? I used to love the Spongebob Squarepants theme song. I used to giggle and laugh. Yeah, that was so last week. I'm over Spongebob. Thomas is the way to go now. Oh well. Mommy and Daddy tried, I guess.

Just waiting.

And waiting. I think I'll sing a song: Twinkle twinkle little star, that's Elmo's world spongebob squarepants! I'm so bored. Where's this cake anyway?

Oh, there it is. Looks pretty cool. Alright, let's eat. Wait, why is everyone staring at me? What's everyone doing?

Aaaahhhhh! Stop singing! Everyone knows 'Happy Birthday' is sung in the key of C, not F minor! My poor, burning ears!

Whew. The singing stopped and the eating finally began.

I love cake. It's part of my favorite food group: Blue.

Next on to the presents. Thankfully no more singing ensued and I was free to run amok. I chose not to, however.

Mommy and Jakie helped open my presents.

I was too busy manning the cash register. I can't believe they trust me with money, I'm only 2. But, I am a genius.

Everyone else watched on and relaxed. It was nice. All my aunties, uncles and cousins from my Mommy's side were there and Deepa and Deeba T were as well. Deepa and Deeba F and Great Nana were able to make it here on Friday and stayed through Monday. Auntie Becky, Uncle Stevie, Cousins Brayden and Claire were even able to stop by on Sunday. I was so happy to see everyone and catch up on old times. We read lots of books and they learned the art of Duplo building.
I even let Deepa hold me!

Here's a photo with Deepa and Deeba F and Great Nana. Oh, Mommy and Daddy are there too. I'm studying my feet.

I sure am one crazy kid. Mommy and Daddy love me, though and are surprised how fast two years have gone. Here's to many more!

Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate my birthday. Mommy wants to thank everyone who manned the camera and took all these awesome pictures.
