Brady's 2nd Birthday!

This sweet TWO YEAR OLD of ours kind of got the shaft on his special day b/c his birthday just so happened to fall on the same day as the moving truck arrived!!!! And if you'll remember from one of prior posts, our household goods weren't originally supposed to arrive until July 6th at the earliest. So this came as quite a pleasant surprise to us! Despite the chaos of the day, we still tried to have a little birthday fun. But thankfully, Brady is still to little to even know what a birthday is, so he didn't know any different! ;)  

We were all up bright & early getting ready for the moving truck to arrive, and the girls helped me greet Brady with the birthday song when he woke up. Then we headed downstairs for birthday donuts! My favorite part of the donut video is Shelby saying "There's my boy" at the very end..enjoy! :)

And now for some pictures! First up is everyone anxiously watching the moving truck pull in front of our new house! 

{happy to see their boxes of books arrived!}

{please note what our kitchen counter looked like on moving day...this is giving me hives just looking at it again!} 

After putting the kids to bed, Derek & I stayed up until midnight unpacking our kitchen & getting everything organized in there so it would be a functional space the next day. {Sidenote: We ended up not getting to bed until almost two am b/c we realized the upstairs AC wasn't working after we finished the kitchen. Thankfully, the kids never even noticed anything was wrong, and Derek was able to fix the AC on his own first thing the next morning with the help of YouTube & a $50 part...I don't know that I've ever been proud!} But in our unpacking of the kitchen, we randomly found a 2 birthday candle from when one of the girls turned 2. So we of course had to sing Brady the birthday song again the next day with his 2 candle! :)

There wasn't any time for sentimental feelings on Brady's birthday, but I'll reminisce now! Here's a look at all three of his birthdays! We love you to pieces, Bubby!!

 {Birth Day! I am still wearing the clothes I wore for my C-section pre-op appointment b/c Brady came FAST! My poor mom was sitting in the waiting area with the girls for what should have been a quick in & out appointment--they had quite the surprise when they came in!}
