Friends and family helped Marin ring in his 2nd year with style at our favorite bounce house. Marin adores the bounce house, as everyone that reads this blog already knows. He was thrilled to have the place to himself for his birthday (or should I say just himself, his friends, and family). The party went very smoothly and fun was had by all.

A special shout out to all the adults that came. You were all good sports, playing on the equipment with the kids. We got some great pictures that are over on Marin's blog.

I can't believe the kid is 2 years old already. He's officially a kid. Not a baby. A kid. But he's still his mommy's baby or actually he's my "Pookie Pie" as he says. Marin just cracks me up.

I'd like to say a very special thanks to Marin's Aunt Leann (Matthew's sister). She pulled out all the stops this year, making not only an amazing cake but some adorable cookies as well. I can't believe how talented she is. Marin's cake is still being talked about. It was as good as it looked too!

I'm not sure what we're going to do for his party next year. The bounce house was so much fun, I don't know how we'll be able to top it. Marin keeps asking to go to the beach, so who knows? :)
