Party time! Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright celebrated son Cruz’s 2nd birthday with a Toy Story-themed bash and invited a few of their former Vanderpump Rules pals.
Lala Kent, Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix celebrated the baby boy’s second trip around the sun on Saturday, April 8. Kent, 32, brought daughter Ocean, who dressed as one of the three-eyed green aliens from the Pixar film franchise. Shay, 37, brought daughter Summer, who was dressed as cowgirl Jessie.
While the adult guests kept their outfits casual, opting for jeans or leggings and crop tops, the hosts dressed to the nines. Cartwright, 34, dressed as Bo Peep from Toy Story 4 while Taylor, 43, wore a Pizza Planet T-shirt. Cruz, meanwhile, wore a Buzz Lightyear costume.
The birthday boy clearly had a favorite character. Decorations were made with Cruz’s head edited onto Buzz Lightyear’s body.
The cake was a three-layer creation with the bottom layer made to look like Buzz’s chest, the middle layer checked like Woody’s western-style shirt and the top layer painted sky blue and filled with clouds, reminiscent of the film’s opening credit sequence.
The food was inspired by Toy Story‘s Pizza Planet restaurant. Partygoers could munch on snacks shaped like personal pizzas, three-eyed aliens and the iconic rocket logo for the fictional eatery.
The kiddos were able to pose with cardboard cutouts of Buzz and Woody as well as enjoy small slides and a backyard ball pit. Madix, 37, sweetly helped guide Shay and Brock Davies‘ daughter down the slide.
Cartwright and Taylor, who left the Bravo reality show in 2020, have made it clear that they are on Team Ariana amid her split from Tom Sandoval last month. She broke up with her partner of nine years after learning he had an affair with fellow Pump Rules cast member Raquel Leviss.
“I called, I texted Scheana and Lala first thing. We have a group chat and I was like, ‘Is this true?’ And they just wrote back YES, like, all caps, and then I was like, ‘Oh my God, how’s Ariana?’ Because, like, having to go through this so publicly is so mortifying,” Cartwright told Entertainment Tonight in March. “Having to live this publicly and being so embarrassed by it and, like, having to go through it, like, I just feel so bad for Ariana having to go through this so publicly. … I’ve checked in on Ariana a couple of times. I haven’t gone to see her yet, but definitely checked in on her and, you know, just trying to be there for her as much as I can. I know that she hasn’t been alone for a second so that’s good.”
Taylor added: “I guess [Ariana] said with all the guys, I’m the only one that’s checked in with her, me out of all people. She was like, ‘Jax Taylor’s the only guy who’s checked in, you know, who checked up on me.'”
Prior to hitting up their son’s birthday bash, Madix and Shay joined Katie Maloney at Emo Nite on Friday, April 7.
