CAN IT BE TRUE? IS MY LITTLE GIRL TURNING TWO?
As I write these words, I still can't believe that they are true. It feels like such a short time ago that I gave birth to Audrey, and yet now she is a walking, talking, independent toddler. Goodness how time flies...
On Saturday, August 22nd we celebrated Audrey's second birthday. We had a "Backyardigans" BBQ at the house, inspired by Audrey's favorite cartoon. Like many insane Mom's (you know who you are) I tried to go all out - which resulted in sheer panic the night before the party (see cupcakes down below). Luckily everything turned out better than I expected and most importantly Audrey had an absolute blast. She loved being the center of attention and opening all her gifts almost as much as she loved her Pablo and Uniqua mylar balloons. The party was deemed a success and Audrey went to bed that night with a smile on her green frosting stained face. Here are some pictures of the party...

I know, I know, a bit cheesy - but hey! I stuck to the theme people!
The Cupcakes
Oh, the story I could write about these cupcakes. They deserve their own blog. Seriously. I really wanted a Backyardigans cake to stick with the theme, but I couldn't find anywhere. So, I thought that I would make my own cupcakes. I mean, the instructions that I found looked easy enough... how hard could it be? Ha! I don't know how I could have been so naive! Needless to say, when I got done at 1 am the next morning I packed them up in Tupperware so that they wouldn't go stale. Good news is they didn't. Bad news is THEY MELTED!! Everything fell off the top. Josh came upstairs that morning of the party and said (while he handed me my beloved Starbucks) "You need to prepare yourself..." Once the shock wore off, I threw them in the fridge, and did some damage repair right before people arrived.

Devon! What a cute blog you guys have! And what a perfect mom you are, that party (and the cupcakes) looked AMAZING! I've told you this a million times I think, but you have the most darling kids I've ever seen!
Too cute Dev!! I thought the cupcakes looked awesome! Although, I don't know what they looked like before the melting. Looks like it was a great party!
Her party looked so fun and there is no such thing as cheesy when it comes to a 2 yr old's party. I loved the cupcakes....so cute!! You are looking so good for just having a baby...beautiful!
Oh Devon..You have such a beautiful family. Those little/big blessing of yours or sooo sweet. I loved all of the new pics at the top. Looks like things are well and I hope they continue that way. I miss you!!
Oh my goodness Devon, I could leave an essay as a comment on this post. 2 does seem kind of monumental doesn't it? As if they are officially far away from being a baby and turning in to a kid. You are the cutest mom ever and those cupcakes look incredible. Also you guys must have some darling moms to be crawling through that tunnel. Awesome post and such a cute party, well done!
