We did not have the crib yet for the new baby so we made do with my carry on suitcase for 1 night until the mini crib arrived. We had to do the same thing with our first baby Matt because he came a month early and we didn't have a crib yet. Matt slept in a dresser drawer!! 
Getting ready to go home! 
On February 5th Kandis gave birth to Vann Michael Bennion. Weighing in at 7 pounds 5 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. A real cutie! Looks just like his father Nic and such a sweet calm baby. Nixon loves him and doesn't seem to mind having another person in the house. Kandis looks great and is such a sweet mom to both of her boys. This picture the first time Nixon met his little brother Vann. Precious

Welcome New Grandbaby #14 Vann Michael Bennion
Birthday party part 3
We had a poster to take pictures with so the kids and adults could put their heads into the hole and look like they were riding a tractor. Here are just a few of the pictures of Nixon, 
Birthday party part 2
We had a place for the kids to eat that had their hard hats with their names on them, their home depot tool belt full of fun plastic tools and then they had a construction cone cup to drink out of. The table was covered in grey fabric and was set low for the two year olds to stand and eat. 
I got these home depot tool pouches for 77 cents each and the kids loved them! I could not have made them for less than that. 
This is the thank you table that the kids saw when they came into the party. The little metal pails are full of goodies that I made for them (truck crayons, chocolate truck suckers, gummy tools, stickers, activity book, small truck, fabric pouch made by my friend Cindy! The polka dot bags were for the goodies in the pails to fill up before they left and take with them. The parents loved the goodies too! I just loved the picture of Nixon with a construction cone on his head. He is so funny and cute!
A Party to Remember! Part 1
Nixon had his 2 year old birthday while I was visiting in Utah and we did a construction themed party since he LOVES anything trucks!! You can see by the pictures that we used his toys for decorations and had simple finger foods for the guests to eat. I made a mini banner to go over the cupcakes and we put Nixon's cupcake in a mini truck to make his special.
We have mini orange construction cones that are actually candles on the table as well. The white signs are from Ikea and can be changed with whatever party you are having. We had a room for the kids to color pictures and then we did a tractor pinata filled with toys and goodies that they put in their home depot tool belts. It was so much fun!!
