candy thief

i ran upstairs to grab something before me & the boys left the house on friday to go do errands when i heard brandon yell out loud from the downstairs playroom, "mom, come quick!"
me: "what do you want brandon? what's wrong?"
brandon: "bryan's eating chocolates!"
me: wondering what chocolates? the only ones we have are the ones on the kitchen counter which is high up."chocolates?? what??" and i started running downstairs. this is what i saw.....

yep, bryan sure was eating a piece of chocolate! he opened a box we got from christmas that was still in it's see's candy red wrap. bryan found it in the playroom where we left it w/ some other gifts not put away yet. if you look closely, you can see a half eaten piece of chocolate. when i looked at bryan and before i could yell at him, he smiles & rubs his tummy and says, "mmmmmmm...". i immediately proceeded to put all the chocolates back in its paper cups. brandon then asked me, "mommy, can i have a piece now?" i said, "sure" and i popped a piece in for myself too!

goofy's kitchen

just some pics from our breakfast at goofy's kitchen from earlier this month.

brandon did this same exact thing at the same age as bryan. they just love the big nose on chip? dale? anyone know the difference? i think this is dale cause chip has that darker (brown) nose?? let me know.

brandon

mickey-shaped waffel

the boys with mulan

giving himself his own autograph

fun time!

bryan's 2nd b-day party (TON of pics)

bryan loves blues clues so we had blues clues themed party. do you know HOW hard it was to find party decorations?? (got everything on line) apparently, blues clues is not that popular these days!

i had a feeling the weather was not going to be nice & it's been raining a lot so i am glad i planned for an indoor party. location: yogurtland! yummy............

party decorations. we didn't go too overboard since the owner let us use the shop for free & during open hours.

bryan making fun of blue's floppy ears!

sitting w/ ah mah. thanks to my sis and unkle matt for flying in from SF to help us celebrate bryan's birthday and to help prepare 75% of the food (the 25% was me making the cupcakes but if anybody didn't like the cupcakes, then she can take 100% credit!)

having a moment with brybry

snuggling with ah mah!

some pics of family & friends.........

while singing "happy birthday" to bryan, i had to relight the candle 2 additional times. bryan was good & ready to blow that candle out!

brandon just ate the top layer aka the frosting
now he moved onto bryan's cupcake......just the frosting is what he wanted!
