2nd birthday (sponsored by OnStar)


Today was the day...the official 2 year birthday. Here are the highlights of our day.
We started off with a few tantrums at home (i think one of quade's friends must have let him know that you can throw a lot of tantrums once you're two). Then we went and got his 2 year pics taken. I was extremely worried that he was going to throw a master tantrum at the kiddie kandids. However, it was a huge success. Here are a few of the pics:

As a reward for doing such a great job he got to ride the automatic firetruck at the mall (but he didn't want me to put money in it...okay by me!)


Then we met aunt andrea, cousin stephen and allison for lunch. Stephen was great and entertained quade during the meal by launching his airplane off the table:


The craziest adventure of the day was when i locked quade, my keys, and my cellphone in the car with the car ON! Did i mention that i'm 37 weeks pregnant and it was 97 degrees outside. Frightening!! However, thanks to the nice man (who had 2 daughters) that was in the parking lot who let me use his cell phone and i got ahold of OnStar (by the way 911 doesn't have their number, which is 1-888-4Onstar). Within 5 minutes the door was unlocked!! The nice man turned out to be an off-duty fireman! (which made quade very happy) THANK YOU FIREMAN! THANK YOU ON STAR!!

After a nap and a few afternoon tantrums we had dinner at Cheesecake Factory, finishing it off with delicious birthday strawberry shortcake! mmmm yummy!


We stopped by Barnes & Noble after dinner. Quade played with the train table and then ran up to the "stage" and said "Ladies and gentleman!"...hilarious
After all our activities Quade had fun when we got home playing with his presents from his grandparents!

The best birthdays end with a guitar and a firetruck!

I wish Quade (and Katherine's) friends had told her to trhow tantrums when you are 2. We are already seeing some kicking and screaming on the floor tantrums. I should have remembered it was his birthday since it was Katherine's 1/2 birthday. Sounds like a fun day.

Wow! That WAS an adventure! Heather, you are a great Mom! Price doesn't know what he is in for when he gets a wonderful Momma like you! Seems like Quade had a lot of fun, despite the tantrums:) What a cutie...I loved that he said "ladies and gentlemen"....And you look amazing at 37 weeks pg.

I can't get over how big he looks in that Kiddie Kandids pic! I know we see him all the time, but there's just something about the official pose! You had such a crazy busy day! I agree with your friend Janel - you are a wonderful Momma! Now, I'm wondering if someone isn't trying to go into labor???
