Mikhia's birthday was last friday. He's officially two, but when he tells you how old he is, he holds up five fingers...lol. jumping the gun a little bit, but most of the time he acts like one.

his weekend was full. friday night we went to dinner with grama and papa and then headed out to pick up cindy so we could go to the concert. the whole time we were there, mikhai was wide eyed staring at everything and trying to see everything at once. everyone thought he was just the cutest thing in the world and i got compliments from guys and girls alike. he was really a hit when he would high-five the guys. for some reason they just dig that...lol. he didn't want to miss any of the excitement so he was awake until 1:45 when we went to the car. once we moved the car, he was passed out. he didn't even budge when i took him out and upstairs. johnson met us out there and walked us out to the car. while we were walking, he kept getting mikhai to say his name and everytime mikhai did, johnson would just gush. as cindy says, "he was eatin that boys attention up". guys are so funny about kids sometimes.

saturday morning mikhai was up by about 8:30am. not much sleep for him there. we left the house about 10:30 for his b-day party. this year we killed three b-days with one party. krys, paige and mikhai had their party at Pump It Up. they have the moon bounce houses and obstacle courses. mikhai had been there once and he LOVED it. all the kids, from the age range of 2-42, have a blast. it honestly is fun for everyone. (it's not like mcd's where an adult has to a contortionist to get through their playground with a toddler.) so that was where his party was. his biggest present was a bike from grama and papa and let me tell you, that boy looks much older than his age when he has his helmet and pads on and is riding that thing. makes his mom just want to cry at how adorable he is. but he got cars, clothes, legos, etc....boy stuff. he loved it all!

after the b-day party was over, all the family (all about 25 of us) went back to mom and dad's and continued the party there. mikhai and i stayed for a little bit, but we had made dinner plans with jay so we left early. after dinner with jay (where mikhai insisted on being a big kid and playing on the video games) we went with cindy and her girls to jody and jen's for some more play time with their kids. mikhai had not had a nap all day so even though he was exhausted, he still didn't pass out until after 11:00 pm. i think he slept until 7:00 am so that was better for him.

sunday (since we stayed with jody and jen) we got up and jen cooked pancakes for everyone and of course my son ate like a little pig that he is. cindy and i went back to her place to get ourselves and the kids changed and then we headed out to the fort worth cats game. i've never been and they had some free tickets so of course we would like to go...lol. mikhai passed out on the way there and i think took a nap for an hour or so. he woke up before the game started and ran around like a monkey (to the irritation to his mommy..lol). we left after the game and i think we got home a little after 5 pm. even after all the activities of the weekend and him being worn out, he didn't want to miss anything that was going on with his grama and papa so we still didn't get to bed until 10 pm. sunday night though, he slept SOLID. he didn't even wake up when i took him to ms. tee. now those are the nights that i like...lol.

so mikhai had a very eventfull 2nd birthday weekend. i might try to do something like this for him each year. do several things for him and not just one big bash. it makes the day a little more special for us.
