Jax's 2nd birthday party at Zilker Park

Jax had his second birthday party at Zilker Park. It was a blast. They have a train that goes around the park and takes about 20 minutes that everyone rode on, then we played on the playground and had cake. It was fun for Jax and hopefully everyone else too! These are a few snapshots from the party. Jax has some cool friends in Texas, so we were glad to hang out with them.

The Cake!

Okay, normally, I wouldn't display this many pics on my blog of a birthday cake. But, in this case, I had to! I had this grand idea to make Jax's cake. I love arts and crafts. So, I thought I'd give it a whirl. My friend, Lisa, here in Austin assisted in this massive undertaking. While discussing our options in accomplishing this task, she assured me it would be 'easy'! Three hours of baking (each train cart is a different kind of cake) and seven hours of icing later, this was our final product! On Jax's invitations, this design was on the inside, so we copied it! I'll have to say that I was proud of us and it tasted good too! Lisa reminds me of Wade in her perfectionistic ways and Jaime Lee in her it'll be easy attitude, so she was a great partner for me.
