thomas party

isaac's second birthday party was last saturday, and since he loves thomas the train so much, we figured it would be a good theme for his party. we are not sure he was even aware of the fact that it was a party, it seemed that to him it was just a bunch of people and friends together at the park eating pizza and cake. regardless, it was a super fun morning, with lots of highlights:

the birthday boy is his "full steam ahead" shirt. never a truer statement about this two year old.

"you mean i get cake and presents? are you sure?"

bradley and ryder get reacquainted

rhiannon helps isaac with his gifts but he is not too sure about letting go of his train.

grauntie, barbara and grammy help isaac with one of the many pieces of new thomas equipment he got that day: a collapsible bridge.

the curry's

brighton shows the camera his secret gills. no wonder he swims so well.

great grandpa herold bought isaac two new trains: emily and toby. he was a little excited about them.

auntie wrangles. isaac shows. ryder pulls.

ryder and grandma chris ham it up

toby!!

the boys with clara laforge who is unfortunately moving to santa cruz in like a week. i had some real hopes for a high school romance between her and isaac. i mean, look at her ogle him while he desperately tries to play it cool. who knows. it could still happen.

isaac wonders if hayden's thomas shirt would fit him, while cam is just happy to be in the picture.

isaac just after he blew out the candles on the amazing cake my sister lisa made him. she is starting a new little company called "hey sweet thing" (heysweetthing@gmail.com) which is pretty much the coolest name for a cake company ever.

isaac and avery check out the contents of the schwag bag. he had a hard time giving them away once he realized there were crayons in them.

the fam including the trains

after nap isaac came down to a new thomas the train table, compliments of grauntie. he has not stopped playing with it since. we have also discovered that ryder is the godzilla of the thomas the train universe, lumbering out of the water and knocking down structures with a wide sweeping motion.

we ended the day with dinner at islands. isaac was in the mood to hug and ryder didn't mind the headlock.
