The Cute turns 2... (how is that even possible)?

....I mean really it has been TWO years? I know parents always say "where did the time go?" when it comes to their children but I always thought they were exaggerating quite a bit. Turns out they aren't. It really does seem like two days ago he was born and yesterday was his first birthday. I am in awe that in two years time, someone who was a helpless baby has now developed into a little kid complete with his own wild personality! Now that is off of my chest, I can report we had a small party which consisted of myself, Dave, my Mom and Dad. It had been a year since Brenden had tried birthday cake and I am here to report that he had the same reaction to it that he had last year which was that it was messy (he hates messiness) and it was cold because I tried and ice cream cake. I think he had two bites of it and was through with it. So I will still be the Mom that everyone looks at funny because my kid doesn't eat cake and ice cream.
After the presents and cake, we all got into our swimming pool for the first time and it was great. I think it will get much use now that we are headed into 100 degree temps.
