Macbeths' Madhouse: Lexi's 2nd Birthday

About Us

Brad: The best daddy in the whole world! He was made for this whole fatherhood thing, I'm sure of it! he is managing a huge Auto Body shop in costa Mesa called ICC. he really enjoys all the high-end cars he gets to work with, but could do without the high-end (AKA high maintenance) customers. he is the Sunbeam teacher in our ward and all his little 3-4 year olds just love him! He loves his girls and is completely wrapped around both of their fingers! Becky: Absolutely loving being a mommy! The entire experience is so much greater than I ever could have imagined. I am loving this summer even more than the rest (if that's even possible!) and truly believe that summer is God's gift to the world - or, at least teachers! Going back in the fall will be killer. But as for now, loving all the fun times with my girls! Libby: The most energetic little bugger around! She is the ultimate chatter-box and wows us daily with all of the things she can say. She is loud, lively, and so much fun! She loves the beach, the park, Disneyland, Shamu, singing, coloring, and anything that involves getting wet. Lexi: The spunkiest little thing around! She has quite the little personality and keeps us all entertained with her drunken zombie stagger, her "blue steel" face, and her complete and total obsession with food. She loves the outdoors, tearing things apart, making messes, and books.

Lexi's 2nd Birthday

On Saturday, May 24th, Lexi turned 2! We had a low key morning hanging out at the house enjoying all of Lexi's new collection of princess dresses from Grandma and Aunt Jayann (amazing!) and went to the park. That afternoon, we had a little party with family and a few friends to celebrate. Lexi seemed to think the whole thing was FANTASTIC!

She actually slept through the first half hour of her party till I decided a 3 hour nap was long enough and went to wake her up. She was none to thrilled to be woken up, but when we made it down stairs, this was the face we got. Looks like waking up to a house full of friends and balloons all in your honor isn't such a bad way to start the rest of your day!

Add in some frosting and a crown and life is looking pretty good!

Some of the cookie decorators (and devourers, too!).

Yep, she's loving this whole birthday thing!

What cute kids

More cute cookie decorators.

Brad got Lexi this Minnie Mouse balloon and it was definitely the hit of the party!

Since everyone was already all hyped up on sugar, we decided to open presents before cupcakes and ice cream. Lexi had fun digging into all those cute bags!

My mom helped Syd with one of her 10 hour projects for YW to make Lexi an Ariel princess dress. They got her this crown to go along with it and no matter how many times we tried to turn it around, this was how she wanted to wear it. She kills me!

The aftermath of present opening...all Lexi's friends had a great time shredding tissue paper and making a huge mess.

But the best part of the whole experience was watching her face as we all sang "Happy Birthday" to her. Honestly, it was priceless. She was sooooo elated and didn't want it to end!

After several attempts, she did finally blow out the candle.

Wow! I love that girl!

Brad ended up making a fire in the backyard and all the kids had a great time playing around out there.

Once the party was over, it was time to relax and enjoy the spoils. I absolutely love reading with my girls and they were so excited to new books to add to the collection. (Notice Libby is sporting one of Lexi's new dresses from Grandma...we'll see if Lexi ever gets a turn. Good thing there are 6 of them to go around!)

What a great 2nd birthday! I sure do love that little munchkin! Happy birthday, Lexi!
