Matthew's 2nd Bday Party!!!

On Saturday we had Matthew's 2nd bday party at my mom's house. It was a Lightening McQueen themed party and turned out great!

The 4th annual OBCBE

So Monica and I are very excited about Matthew turning 2 on Tuesday. Not only is he a big boy now but he is now old enough to compete in the 4th annual OBCBE, (Olympic Bottle Cap Blowing Extravaganza) held in Oslo Norway. Here you can see Matthew in intense training for the event. We just hope he's ready to face off against the likes of Bjørn Johannesdatter, the three-time Norwegian bottle cap blowing champion. Good luck little buddy and don't pass out...

Matthew's Masterpiece

Yesterday Matthew learned that his Cars crayons can write on our white walls.

While mommy was watching...













While daddy wasn't....













Dad: This is not accurate, Matthew had actually colored on many walls before I got home.

Happy 2nd Birthday Matthew!!

Matthew turned 2 today! Mommy took off from school to spend the day with her boy. We had lots of fun watching movies, playing, reading books and splashing in the bath. In the evening we went to Grandma Sandie's house for cake and presents.

Grandma and Grandpa got Matthew a singing Elmo and Cars cookies.













Mmmm! Matthew loved the cake.

He was so excited!!













He had lots of fun blowing out the candles.

What the heck?!?!?!

A couple of weeks ago we were driving down Wible approaching the intersection when the light turned green. We remained stopped to allow an old, fragile woman to slowly cross the intersection. From behind we hear a honk... we look back and it was a COP honking at us to go! And then this week I'm driving to school and the minute the light turned green I hear a honk. I'm thinking...geez give me a break it barely turned green. And who was behind me you might ask? A COP! Seriously, what is wrong with cops?
