{Birthday Boys: part 2}

On Deacon's birthday we took a trip to the Long Beach Aquarium. The boys love it there and we always have so much fun. Plus, we have a pass so we like to go as often as we can. We don't really have a zoo close, so this is where we go to get up close and personal with animals.

After the aquarium, we headed home so Deacon could open some presents.

First, he got the goggles...which are hilarious on him.

Next, he got the entire Buzz getup. "Why is his face so serious?", you may be asking. Being a space ranger is no joking matter. Zurge is still on the loose people.


We saved the best for last. Everywhere we go, whether it's a friends house or the gym, the first toy he goes for it this Buzz doll. (Is it a doll or an action figure?) Anyway, it's been really hard to not run to Target and get him one when it's all he's wanted for the past six months. We would see them in stores and I know he was so confused about why he couldn't just throw one in the cart. I have to say, that they wait was well worth the reaction we got.

Oh and I forgot to mention earlier that Deacon has a mohawk now. Thanks to my friend Teresa. She mentioned one day that he would look really cute with a mohawk and I wasn't really sure about it. He had these cute little baby hair curls in the back and I really didn't want to cut them. Once I saw his new do, I couldn't stop laughing. He was born to have a mohawk. It fits his personality perfectly. Happy Birthday Deaks! We love you and can't imagine life without you!
