Happy 2nd Birthday Eston!!!

My little man celebrated his 2nd birthday a week ago. Eston's favorite three things (in order) are: 1. Animals, 2. Books, 3. Cars If it is a book about Animals then you hit the jackpot. Eston has tons of energy and is always laughing about something that he thinks he did funny. Eston has an infectious smile and can make anyone happy by just being in the room.

The kids and I happened to be in Idaho for Eston's birthday and got to celebrate this marker with Matt's family. They through quite the party. Eston had tons of presents and they kept coming the whole week. We had a good time. Grandma Brenda helped Eston open up his gifts and had a great time doing it. Sammie was so good and only helped out if Eston said, "help". She was just excited that she got to plan the party. She picked everything out; the type of cake, the color of the balloons, his present from mom and dad, and the colors of the candles. She is very much the event coordinator. Eston got, books, a movie, tons of John Deere tractors (it is Idaho), and other goodies.



Matt had to stay in Utah to work and take 1 of his 7 Architecture exams. During the party Matt called to serenade Eston with a very cheerful version of Happy Birthday. Eston was all smiles at hearing his daddy's voice.



When it came time to blowing out the cake, I was proud of Eston. He did it all by himself. I never knew he could blow, I just thought that he knew how to make the noise. His Great Grandma Ila
helped him with the cake.



A couple of days before we headed to Idaho we thought we would celebrate 4 of the 5 August birthday's for my side of the family. In 3 have there birthday's on the same day, and 1 was a week before those. Lindsay gave Eston a Barney doll, and he wouldn't put it down the rest of the night. We heard the song "I Love You" over and over and over again. Eston received an animal book, a bunch of zoo animals, and some other fun gifts.



Here is the birthday honorees along with Gram and Grandpa Burke. It was fun to have my grandparents over to celebrate with us.
