Happy 2nd Birthday!

On April 28th, John Burke turned 2!  Since he is not into anything in particular (unlike Turner's obsession with cars at this age), I decided to do a low-key cookout for his birthday.
"Cars" was the theme - we have watched it in our car no less than 250 times, and I don't think I am exaggerating 

 Originally, my plan was for it to be a riding toy party.  However, the kids had way more fun on the jumpy
 
 Heath grilled chicken and made pizza, of course!

 John Burke had a ball!  And so did we!!

 John Burke, Burkita Jones, Burke Burke...we love you!  You are your own bird, and I am so glad that God gave you to me.  You adore babies, especially your baby sister.  Even if you continue to brush her hair a little too roughly or stick your stinkin' finger in her mouth. UGH!  You give the best hugs, and you love to bother your brother, or "Nuh Nuh" as you have been calling him lately.  Y'all can break out in a full out toddler brawl at the drop of a hat, but you get over it pretty quickly!  You cry when I make you leave school because you love your teachers and friends so much.  And your favorite thing lately is animals - you go nuts when you see dogs and geese especially.  You also have quite the temper, and you like to say "NO!" just for the heck of it.  But, Daddy and I think we will keep you.  
Happy 2nd Birthday!
