Matthew is Two!

On Monday (the 9th) our sweet little Matthew turned two years old. He is such a funny little goofy guy! He can always make us laugh, usually without even trying. He loves cars and trains, balls, and tools. He is all boy, which basically means that he loves to play hard, get dirty, use tools, and eat yummy food. He also has a sweet, tender side to him, and still loves to snuggle with Mommy. At bedtime, he enjoys getting big brother in trouble by persuading him to play ball or to throw stuffed animals at each other instead of going to sleep. And he also enjoys waiting until big brother is asleep and then throwing his rattle bear at him. What a little goof.

Mommy fixed one of Matthew's favorite dinners, "Hawaiian Haystacks."

If you've never had them before...they're yummy. Rice with chicken and gravy, cheese, olives, green peppers, tomatoes, pineapple, cashews and topped with maraschino cherries. Since he loves cars...I made him a car cake.

He loved it...and was so excited to play with his new cars!

Here is the gang!

Matthew also loves books, and he got 3 of our favorite Dr. Suess classics.

And what more could a little tool-loving two year old want than his very own work bench?
After seeing him fall asleep with it like this...we're pretty sure that he likes it okay.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW!!!

Here is a little clip of him blowing out his candles. Once again, he has us all laughing out loud.
