Makai definitely had a great 2nd birthday with some fun celebrations. He had his birthday party with the family last Sunday, and it was a blast! We had delicious chicken sandwiches made by Dan, and a Toy Story cake that Dan and I made together. We debated all day long whether or not to do the party outside because of the rain, but by the time everyone got there, it was pretty nice and everyone gravitated outside. It was so nice to be outside. It was Toy Story themed party, of course, and boy, did he get a lot of fun presents. He got Toy Story 2, Toy Story pajamas, a T-shirt, magnetic story board, and my parents gave him giant Woody and Buzz action figures that are exactly like the ones in the movie! They talk and everything. He loves them. Besides the Toy Story stuff, he also got a ton of other great gifts. Makee had a great time. We sure missed Uncle YoYo, Chris, Jenna, and Drake who are away from us right now! And we also missed Aunt Heather who was home with sick baby Kai. Thanks to everyone for coming to Mak's party! He is sure loved, and such a lucky boy.This was one of Makee's favorite presents. His Uncle Chris made it for him, and he pushes all the time going "Cack cack!" Mak wore his favorite Jazz jersey that Uncle J gave him for his birthday before he left on his mission
Presents! Mak had 3 big helpers with the gift opening
Here is the cake we made. The bed posts are made out of gum paste. They lasted for a picture and pretty much fell over after that. But Makee was so excited about his "So-Soy" Cake.
The birthday boy and his birthday cake!

We sure love our little 2 year old!
So that was the birthday party. But Mak's actual birthday was a really fun day too. Dan took the day off of work, so we started the day off going to the zoo. Mak is really into animals right now, so he loved it--especially looking at the baby giraffe.
He did not, however, like the carousel. He cried the whole time!

We also went to the Bird Show at the zoo. It was really cool, but a little long for the attention span of a two year old. In the middle of the show, I tried to escape with him. One of the zoo workers ran over and yelled, "Find a seat!" and soon there was a flock of birds flying right over our heads. Phew!" I don't think we'll be doing the bird show again. 
Of course we had to do Makee's favorite part of the trip--the Choo Choo. He had a lot of fun with Daddy.
After we got home from the zoo the birthday boy opened his presents. Boy did he love rippin' into them! 
He got a slinky dog like the one on Toy Story, a Toy Story coloring book, some cool shoes, jammies, and CD player/karaoke machine. He loves the karaoke! It has this echo button, and he loves to hear his little voice on it. Dan also made him a CD to go along with it with some of his favorite songs including Sean Kingston's "9-1-1," the song B-I-N-G-O, Jason Mraz' "I'm Yours," and the Toy Story theme song, just to name a few. He sort of sings along, but mostly he just loves to say, "YoYo!, Mama! Dada!" into the microphone. 
Makee with his sisters! (Rylin is the one crying)
Later that night, Nani and Pappy came over to watch Bailee and Rylin so we could take Makee out. We took him to McDonald's so he could play in the Playplace, which, by the way, is disgusting. 
He couldn't figure out how to find the top of the slide, so Dan climbed up there with him. Pretty soon I heard Dan's voice going, "Ah, ah!" Thump, thump thump...with a little boy's voice yelling "Aaaaah!" When Dan got down there, he said, "I don't that slide is made for adults." Really? But he said when they got up to the slide there were old bandaids, food, a bunch of disgusting stuff that parents don't see. I don't know how much we'll be going there anymore! 
But Makee had so much fun. He mostly loved playing at the basketball hoop with Daddy.
After McDonald's we took Mak to our new favorite place--Yogurt Stop. They have like 12 different kinds of frozen yogurt to choose from--you could get all of them if you wanted. Then they have every single topping you can think of. You get to help yourself to whatever you want, and then you just weigh your cup and pay for it. It's the best thing ever! Makee loved it.
