Happy Birthday to my Baby Boy!

My baby is 2 already! :( Little sad b/c he is my last child, but also looking forward to the next chapter in our life and that is a little more independent children. We have moved out of the baby stage. He is SO SO BUSY!! He does not stop moving it ought to make for an interesting camping trip we have every year! He loves animals and being outside and absolutely LOVES to hang at dads shop with the big boys and check out all the semi trucks and dirtbikes. He just had an appt this morning and he is a healthy 30 lbs and 35" tall- 75% for both, so he has slowed down a bit( he was a steady 98% since 2 weeks old) and no shots, that was a bonus. I was expecting them but he will get them in Dec. when he is 2.5 I quick snapped a picture of him this morning before our busy morning runnning errands and the second one is just a goofy picture of him that I thought was cute! Next week I will probally get his pictures taken, just waiting for that bruise on his forehead to go away and hopefully no new ones appear before then.

LOVE

They are getting so big! ages 8, 5, and almost 2. LOVE. THESE. GUYS!!

One VERY Dirty Boy

John had Levi at the shop with him a few weekends ago for the first time all day and he LOVED it. He takes the older two boys alot b/c they are more independent but Levi is getting old enough to start making a fuss about them leaving without him. He came home one VERY dirty boy. His pants had oil on them and his hands were black. I gave him a bath when we got home and even afterwards he still had a "stain" on his skin from the oil!. He slept great that night! He had a great time hanging with the boys :)

Birthday Boy # 2

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RILEY!!! Riley is 8 today! Love that I get to share this Mother's Day with him b/c he ( and his brother's) are the reasons that allow me to celebrate it! He actually arrived a few days before Mother's Day that year and made me a first time mommy :) The best gift ever! Happy Birthday Bud, Mom and Dad Love You!

Happy Birthday..To Me!

Today is my birthday, although it seems like any other day. Not as much fun and anticipation as I remember as a kid. But I turned 29 today, last year of my twenties( lots of great things happened in my twenties, most importantly my boys!) The day was cold, rainy and gloomy but I didn't let that slow me down. I took advantage of a few deals today. I ate a free meal at IHOP, just had to pay for the beverages. Then I headed to a second hand store where I recieved 25% off my total purchase, ran a few more errands, then meet my mom and sister at Crazy Horse for lunch. They graciously paid for my meal + I got a free sundae. My sister gave me some candy too. The rest of the day was pretty normal, pick up kids from school, chiropractor appt., make dinner. It would have been a better day if I could have had John home to celebrate, but he was in PA heading for home. Since our b-days are only 4 days apart we are heading out tomorrow afternoon as a combined b-day celebration. We are going to grab some free( of course!) burgers at Red Robin, check out the new casino in our area( and probally leave with nothing) grab some dinner and then head home, probally rent a movie too. Nothing to exciting for us old people :) haha. Next year is the big one. It does not bother me that I will be 30, we shall see how I feel about that next year.
