Party Time

Dylan had a great time at his birthday party. It so funny to watch him play with his cousins now.. He's such a big boy!! He gets right in there with the rest of them and is even starting to keep up!!! He's growing up too fast!! Anyway, the party was great. It was a perfect day, not to cool, not to hot. The kid's tried to do a Pinata. I lined them up by age order. Jacob, the youngest at 10months was the first to pull. He needed a little help so Matt helped him. Can you believe it opened up on the first pull???? Geez..... Ohwell, the kids got their candy I guess that's all that matters. He got lot's of great gifts one of them being a swingset. He loves it!! He makes me a nervous wreck on it but he love's it. He even has to go down the slide "one time mom" before we leave for work/school in the morning..... And what's up with that anyway??? I swear to God my kid woke up on the day of his 2nd birthday and started calling me MOM!!!! I am not Mom!!! I am Mamma!!! You are to little yet to call me mom!!! Heheheheee!!! Here are some pictures from the party. I gotta go!! It's WAY past my bedtime!!

What's Up?!!!

For those of you who didn't believe me.... See he really is a Monkey!!!

I haven't had much time to write lately. Spent most of last week in Paradise with Mom M., Lida and all the kids. It was a good time. We didn't do a lot but I have learned that sometimes that is better than trying to cram it all in. I didn't get to take a lot of pictures of the kid's while we were there, my memory card was full almost to bursting and I forgot to empty it before we left. I did however, get that great shot of D at Whitefish Point. (notice the freighter in the back.) I thought it was a pretty cool pic.

I feel bad that I haven't posted many pictures of Celeste, but you can't get her to stay in one place long enough. She just got back from Florida on Sunday and now we are getting ready to pack her off to Virginia on Thursday. She did spend Sunday and Monday night with us. Sunday Matt spent the night so Celeste could take him out on the boat with her Mom on Monday. By the time Tracy brought her home last night she must have been missing us cuz there we were at 11:00pm, all of us still awake and horsing around in our bed. And yes..... That's where they stayed all night. Jim, Dylan, Celeste, Me and the Dog all crammed into my poor bed. What a night!!! Poor Jim had to be up by 3:30am for work today, he's been in bed since 8pm tonight!!!

Oh... Dylan did learn a new phrase while we were up north. "SHUT UP!!!" Oh my god!!! Someone please help me!!!! I thought if I tried not to make a big deal out of it he would stop saying it but nope!!!! Not my son!!!! It probably wouldn't be so bad if he didn't know how to use it properly. Like when your out in the general public trying to enjoy an ice cream cone.... "Dylan, please sit down and eat your ice cream" "SHUT UP MAMMA" or "Dylan, please stop beating the dog with your golf club" "SHUT UP MAMMA!!!". It has gotten better since we got home. I don't think we were out of the car for 10 minutes and "Dylan, get away from the road your going to get squashed like a bug" "SHUT UP MAMMA!!" (This is the part where Jim looks at me like "did I just hear what I think I heard?" I shake my head yes and Dylan gets his sassy little hide tanned.) Sunday we went to Jen and Denny's for dinner the kid's were playing out back and Celeste comes in to tell Jim that "Dylan is saying it again". Jim opened the sliding glass door to hear Dylan "SHUT....." He caught sight of his Daddy and slapped his hand right over his mouth!!!! He is such a STINKER!!! So in closing, to my certain Sister-in-Law who thought this was so darn funny, I say to you...... You now have one younger than mine and I can be sure to teach her worse things than "SHUT UP MAMMA!!!" Love Ya Sis!!! Hahahahahahaha!!!!

And P.S. I still can't get my damn pictures where I want them!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Two year's ago today an amazing little man came into this world and taught me a whole new lesson in love!!! It makes me sad someday's to know that time is going so fast, but it's so much fun to watch him grow and learn so many new things!!!! Happy Birthday Buddy!!! Mamma and Daddy love you to pieces!!!

We had a pretty low key day today. My Dad and Laurie came to visit aswell as my Grandma and Grandpa. We took D to Red Robin to see the "Big Red Bird" and Grandma got a small glimpse of what D is like in a restaurant!! (not good!) On the way home we stopped and bought him a little b-day cake and a 1/2 dozen cup cakes for us. Little did we know not only would he want to sample his cake but he wanted one of each of the "blue" cupcakes. He disappointed me this year. I thought he would make a bigger mess than last year but he didn't. We will try again on the 22nd when we have his actual party. I was bummed we couldn't do it this weekend but Sissy is in Florida with her Grandma and she would kill us if we did it without her!

We went to a 4th of July party last night and D partied like a rockstar!! He ran and danced all till about 12:00am last night. (or this morning, whichever you prefer) He did it all on about a 20 minute power nap!! So, needless to say he's been sleeping for almost 2hours now. So I am going to take advantage again and soak in a tub. 2 times in 1 week. Wooo Hooo!
