Cant show page instead of blog post

Hi

I am curently setting up this site

I am trying to replace the top 3 blog boxes to display page posts insted of the blog cats.

The current code is

<?php $my_query = array( 'showposts' => '1', 'cat' => $wp_theme_options['top3_cat_middle'], 'post__not_in' => $ignore ); $my_query = new WP_Query($my_query); ?>
	<?php if ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
		<?php $ignore[] = $post->ID; ?>
		<div class="post">
		<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
		<?php $thumb_img = portfolio_get_post_image( $post->ID, 'Thumbnail', 278, 100 ); ?>
		<?php if ( ! empty( $thumb_img ) ) : ?>
			<img src="<?php echo $thumb_img; ?>" />
		<?php endif; ?>
		<p><?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?></p>
		</div>

I have tried to change the code to

<?php query_posts( 'page=2' ); ?>
  <?php $ignore[] = $post->ID; ?>
  <div class="post">
  <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
  <?php $thumb_img = portfolio_get_post_image( $post->ID, 'Thumbnail', 278, 100 ); ?>
  <?php if ( ! empty( $thumb_img ) ) : ?>
   <img src="<?php echo $thumb_img; ?>" />
  <?php endif; ?>
  <p><?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?></p>
  </div>

As well as

<?php query_posts('post_type=page&post_status&page_id=2');  ?>
  <?php $ignore[] = $post->ID; ?>
  <div class="post">
  <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
  <?php $thumb_img = portfolio_get_post_image( $post->ID, 'Thumbnail', 278, 100 ); ?>
  <?php if ( ! empty( $thumb_img ) ) : ?>
   <img src="<?php echo $thumb_img; ?>" />
  <?php endif; ?>
  <p><?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?></p>
  </div>

But it just seems to ignore this and displays a random blog cat.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help in advance!
