You've Had A Birthday, Shout Hooray!

Porter turned 2 on Sunday. We had some friends over and had a little party on Saturday night. I made him a cake that had "dirt" and trucks. I thought it was awesome. He was more excited about the trucks than the actual cake. On Sunday we visited Grammy Coral and Grandpa Dan. Both Grandma Lila and Grandma Betty were there too. Porter got a 2nd cake, via Grammy Coral. It was frog. It was super cute. It made me realize that my cake decorating skills are pretty slim. Anyway, it turned out to be a great weekend and I ate too much food. Good thing diets can start over on Mondays.

Funny Boys

Porter has decided that he LOVES clam chowder. (Not my favorite soup choice, except when it's from Skippers. . . MMMM Skippers. . .) Anyway, he made a complete mess with it and when he was done eating, he mushed it in his hands and rubbed it on his face like lotion. I especially like the celery chunk stuck to his face right below his eye in the pic below.

These pics of Bryson are so funny! The first one he was so happy to see me and excited that I came to get him. Notice the enthusiasm and smile on his drooling face.

Now, notice that the enthusiasm and smile are gone and irritation has set in when he realized that I wasn't going to pick him up and all I was doing was taking more pictures. He was pretty mad. Good thing he forgets quickly.

Manhood Protection

Aren't we a cute family!! I wish that things were as calm and happy as we look in this picture. On Aug 20th (the day after our 4th anniversary) I got to come home from painting the condo (in a desperate attempt to get it sold) to find out that Josh went to the emergency room. He woke up with chest pains and could feel his heart beating strangely. They did some tests in the ER and we found out the his left sensory bundle (whatever that is) is not functioning normally. However, it looks like it should not be a threat and the chest pains were probably really bad acid reflux. Sigh. . . .I hope he is ok.

But onto the funnies. Porter found Josh's manhood protector (his cup). He was walking around holding it to his crotch, so Josh tied it onto Porter and he LOVED IT!! I took some pics. He is so funny!! Lately his demands include gum, condiments and watching TV in bed with mom.
