Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Happy Birthday Macalan!






Macalan turned 2 today! I can't believe I already have a two year old! It's hard to imagine what life was like before having him. He and Sutton have the been the best gift we could ask for.
Mac's birthday celebration started early when Grandma Mary and cousin Allison came on Saturday afternoon. Macalan enjoyed going out for ice cream at Cold Stone Saturday night. Unfortunately I had to stay home with Sutton who has been feeling very sick the last few days. However, they did bring some home for me. =) This morning Kyle and I took Macalan out for birthday pancakes and then to the party store to buy balloons. The fun officially started when the rest of our guests arrived this afternoon. Grandma Dorothy, Grandpa Gene, Uncle Tony, and cousin Lauryn all came up from Yankton to help celebrate.
Grandma brought Macalan's birthday cake along, which was made by a lady who used to make my birthday cakes. She did such a great job! We had her make a Lightning McQueen cake since that was the theme for his party this year. It was amazing. Macalan loved it.
He not only loved his cake, but he loved all of his great presents too. One thing he did not like was us singing Happy Birthday to him. For some reason as soon as we started singing he started balling. =( I'm sure it had something to do with the fact that he didn't have a nap.
All in all it was a great day. I'm excited to see what the next year of his life has in store for us. He has learned so much already this past year I can't imagine what he'll do next. I'm so glad I have my buddy bear around to make me laugh and smile. I don't know what I'd do without him!
