Another Busy Weekend

It seems to be a pattern that we have BUSY weekends around here. On this particular one, Mommy decided to cut my bangs...They weren't too bad, but I can't wait for Miss Diana to be ready to cut my hair again! Daddy was off work because he was supposed to be doing his final project for school. He took some time to go with me and Mommy to get my two year old pictures taken.
When we got done with pictures we went out to eat for lunch. Daddy and Mommy liked it a lot! I was just hungry. :)

When Mommy picked up my brothers from school, Josiah had Clifford!! We got to spend an entire weekend with Clifford! Here is Clifford at the post office with us:

We went to Macayo's for dinner and brought Clifford there, too:

Clifford likes margaritas. I'm not sure why he got to try it but I didn't.

Clifford went to soccer with Josiah. He got to play goalie!

On Sunday it was Papa's birthday, so Clifford got to go to the birthday party, too!

We had a great weekend. I wonder if Daddy got his project done in between all those activities?!

Papa's Super Power

On Tuesdays I get to go spend the morning with Papa while Mommy goes to volunteer at my brothers' school. One Tuesday Mommy came back to find this:If you can't tell...I'm face the other way from the camera. Mommy was impressed and mystified at how Papa did that...he is one talented guy!

Take My Picture, Mommy!

When Mommy and I go out I always want her to take my picture. Sometimes she complies, and this time she not only did it, but is posting my cuteness for you!

Terrific Two?!

Today I turned two!!! Here is the first thing that happened when Mommy brought me downstairs on my birthday morning:The saying is "Terrific Twos," right?!

Monkey Party!

On my birthday I got to have a monkey party! I got to sit at the big boy table with my brothers since I'm 2 now! Here we are eating:This is a picture of some of the people who were at my party:
Here are the monkey cake pops ready to be served!

Presents for Me?!?

After we ate there was a HUGE stack of presents on the table...all for me! I was so excited when I started to open them! My brothers were excited, too!Then Cousin Andrew got in on the fun!
I got the hang of it pretty fast.

And I got bored with it eventually. Thankfully my brothers were more excited than I was.

I got a scooter from Grandpa Jim and Grandma Sharon! I started out riding it sitting down...

But figured out quickly to make it go standing up!

One of my other favorite gifts was a light saber just like my brothers have!

Cake Time!

I got my own cupcake with a #2 candle on it!I blew out the candle all by myself, too!

Say Cheese, Please

Well the day ended on a good note! I had a great birthday, and was so happy...and it may have had something to do with all the sugar I had. :) At the end of the day Mommy wanted to get a picture of me. I don't think she remembered what it is like to try to get a picture of a well-sugared two-year-old, though.

And then, of course, my brothers just had to be in the picture, too...

This is as cute as it gets, Mommy!

Monkey Cake Pops

Thanks to Miss Chrissy for some cake pop tips and for a box to hold them. Mommy finished my monkey cake pops the day before my party. I can't wait to eat them!

Friday Fun!!

On Fridays Mommy and I got to play with our friends Miss Chrissy and Morgan. Morgan and I play SO well together. Here we are 'sharing' her car. She was being a little bashful, but as you can see by my face I just adore her!My brothers had their first fundraising project for school. One of the incentives was that if they got a bunch of postcards sent out they would get a ninja duck and splatter egg. Here they are with their ninja ducks...Thanks to our friends and family!!

Helping Mommy

Have I mentioned that I love to help Mommy? I like to help in the kitchen, doing the laundry, cleaning, and anything else she'll let me do! On this particular day we got to make brownies for our friend Miss Diana. Here I am getting ready:Don't worry - Mommy washed the spoon before we made the brownies. :) Here I am testing the batter. I wouldn't want anything but the best for Miss Diana!

Once again, I approve!

A Saturday in September

Saturdays are busy days, and this particular one was no exception! First we had soccer. Mommy didn't take any pictures during practice, but I (Jonathan) made sure we didn't get out of the parking lot without proof we were there. Then we had Isaac's birthday party! He turned 5 like us! Here is Elijah and the other younger siblings decorating their pots:
Here we are - all the big boys!!

We had fun with Isaac and Nolan at the party! We had to leave because there was so much going on, though. Daddy had lots of school work and Mommy was meeting Miss Heather later in the afternoon. She and Miss Heather got their toe nails painted. Mommy came home with Hawkeye toes! We love our busy Saturdays!

Test Run

My birthday is coming up soon, and I decided that I want to have a monkey themed party. Mommy decided to try her hand at cake pops, but thought she should do a test run before the big day. I was not at all upset about that idea! Here I am being a good little tester for Mommy:

Yes, I approve!

Spoiled?!

Daddy and Mommy sometimes throw around the word "spoiled" in our house. We don't think that is accurate at all. Here are a couple of pictures that Mommy took that she thought was funny and a little incriminating...

This is our train table...and a few trains...

Daddy and Mommy always want us to put our hats away. Here is the pile of hats on the banister from just three little boys!

House of Chang Happenings...

Here are just a couple of pictures of what we do on a typical day in September. Since brothers are at school every day, Mommy and I get to do all sorts of fun things together. One is that we've been going out to breakfast because Chick-Fil-A is having a free breakfast month. One of the things they are giving out is orange juice...which I LOVE!Another thing we've started doing is buying feeder fish for our big fish to eat. One day Daddy got some medium sized fish, and Rex REALLY liked them. They were almost too big for him to eat, but Mommy got a picture of him enjoying his catch of the day...
