Daxton is 2!!!

I can't believe Dax is now 2. He has been very into McQueen lately so he had a Cars party complete with McQueen cake and pinata. He had so much fun with his cousins and family, thanks to everyone for making it a special day.

The Cake
Corey helped me come up with creative ideas for snacks:
Grape Kool-aid = Oil
Cupcakes = Air Filters
Jello = oil filters
Pepermint Patties = clutches
Licorice = shocks
He loved opening his presents, maybe a little too much. If anyone tried to help they got a stern "Hey!" from Dax.
The Piniata
Everyone got to take a turn and then Corey ended up breaking it.
Dax loves Sweets.
After Dax's birthday we went to Las Vegas for a little Vacation. You can read the posts below for all of that fun.

Las Vegas

This last weekend we went to Vegas with my parents. My Dad works down there during the week and flys home on the weekends, so he has a place to stay down there and everything. It was so much  fun, thanks Dad and Mom.
Dax loves big trucks so we showed hime the big truck at my Dad's work, he pretended to drive and honked the horn. When it actually honked he was done with the truck.


This pic is just funny Dax decided to try on my shoes and surpisingly could walk in them with out breaking his ankle.


Las Vegas: Bass Pro Shops

There were tonz of fish there, so Dax loved it and the animals didn't talk so that was even better. Granpa and Grandma bought him a fish which he loves. We had a lot of fun here.

Las Vegas: The Strip

One day we went to the strip, we saw the lions at the MGM, the M&M Factory, the Coke Store (No pictures of that because Dax refused to get his picture taken with the bear), The Rainforest Cafe (Dax loved the fish....the Elephant not so much), and we saw Buzz and Woody outside, as you can tell from the picture he did not like them either.


Las Vegas: The Old West Nevada Town

We decided to go for a ride up the canyon and my parents had seen wild donkeys at this place so we went to go find them. It just so happened that the little Old West town was up and running. You paid $5 and got to go on a train ride see some shows and go to the petting zoo. It was fun and worth the five bucks.

Cereal

Dax has always loved cereal, but recently decided he needs milk in it. We have tried it before and he wouldn't touch it after the milk was in there. But to my surprise he actually drank the milk out of the bowl and loved it.
I also did another post of him helping dad. So scroll down if you would like.


Helping Dad

When it snowed last, Corey went out to snow blow and latey Dax wants to do everything with Daddy so he made me go get his lawn mower so he could "help" dad.
He got in the way, but had tons of fun.
