Happy Hump Day

I can't believe that it is Wednesday already! Time is really flying this week. Yesterday was my grandmother's birthday. We all got together at my mom & dad's house for dinner. Dad grilled steak & chicken and everyone was to bring the fixin's! Talk about a variety. I made grandma a coffee cup! (Actually Summer did!) I will have to post a pic later bcuz I don't have them with me! She loved it and said that it was to pretty to drink out of! She better drink out of it! Also, my sister-in-law had her baby yesterday afternoon at 3ish! Little Boy! Trenton Christopher, 7lbs 1oz, 18 1/2 inches long! Lots of dark hair! Just like her other 3 boys. I wanted to go to the hospital so bad last night but they said she wasn't feeling well so I will wait until tonight or tomorrow! But I can't wait to get my hands on that little one! I also got another bracelet order from California. I haven't received one of those in forever and talk about killing my eyes to make it! I think it's just because I didn't even start putting it together until 11:30 last night and my eyes were already tired! So I didn't get to bed until 12:15 or so and Nate was up by 6 AM!!! I think I am starting to get used to this only 5-6 hours of sleep a day thing! NOT!!!!!!!!

Busy Weekend

You talk about a VERY busy weekend. It felt like it was non-stop! I am having a very hard time staying awake at work even. So Saturday we celebrated Nate's birthday! It was a lot of fun. There were about 20 people over to the house and we opened presents, ate lunch and had cake. As you can see Nate was amazed by the fire. I hope this doesn't mean that I am going to have a little PyroManiac on my hands! Then Chase had a soccer game at 1:15! Everybody left the house about 3:00pm so it was a lazy evening. But boy was I exhausted. Nate loved all of the attention. I think he is going to be just like his sister that way. He received some money in one of his cards so from then on he was just shaking the cards. If they didn't make noise he threw them to the side. The biggest hit of the party was the 215 balls that my brother brought. LITERALLY. He bought 200 of the balls that look like they go in the ball pit at McD's! And then 10 or 15 small to large bouncy balls. They are all over the house. But Nate loved them. I think everyone else at the party did too because my dad started a ball fight and before you know it they were scattered. So yesterday (Sunday) was actually Nate's birthday. I just stayed at home and didn't even get out of my PJ's. I was so tired. But we had my mom and dad over for lunch, I took a nap with Nate for 2 hours (I so needed that) and then after supper we went for ice cream. When it was bedtime I let Nate go to bed with me. I just wanted to cuddle with him. It's so hard to believe that it has been 2 years already. Rick woke me up at 12:30am wanting to know what he was doing there! I told him to get over it! Today is Grandparents day at school. I know that Tori is LOVING having her gma and Aunt Raylene there with her. It made her get up for school right away this morning when I reminded her what today was. It looks like it is going to be a very busy week for us! Tonight, Chase soccer practice at 5:30-7:00 and then I have to get my Gmas present done for her bday tomorrow. Tue-Welcome Baby! My Nephew is scheduled to be here tomorrow at 1:00 (C-Section) and I can't wait to get to the hospital. Also tomorrow, Chase has pic day at school and tomorrow night is gma B's birthday dinner at my parents house at 6:30pm. Wed-Rick is in court, Chase practice 5:15-6:15! Thur-I have to get bday cakes made for a little boy's first birthday party. And BTW...did I mention that I am having a garage sale on Fri. & Sat.?? So sometime I need to be marking everything. So...I guess I am busy everyday again this week. Although, I don't think I would know what to do with myself if I wasn't! Ya Know??

ALL BOY!!!!

OK...so that statement...All Boy?!? Yes I have 2 boys. And yes one of them is way more onery than the other. But tonight my darling baby boy (who will be 2 on Sunday) FARTED while setting on my lap and when I said to him, "Nate...did you just toot?" He shook his head no and pointed to his sister! Then he took out his binkie and said, "Cat!" Which is what he calls her! Now correct me if I am wrong but he's not old enough for that yet...is he????

September???

Well...It's officially September. That is so hard to believe! And as you can see our family calendar is already 3/4 of the way full! This month my nephew (4th) is due! They are supposed to take him by c-section on the 11th! I can't wait for that! I absolutely love babies and I can't wait until he gets here! So today my girl SUMMERTIME taught her first class at ScrapFunattic and it ROCKED just like her! She did such an amazing job and the layouts were great! I know she is so glad to get over that "first class" hump and can't wait for the ones each month. I can't wait for the layouts either. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Labor Day Weekend. I'm back to unpacking!! Yeah Me!!! P.S. Here a pic of Summer getting caught on camera!!!

Casting Day

WELL...Yesterday was casting day! I wish it was for a movie or something that would make me really rich but it was for Nate's arm. He actually did really good at the doctor's office. When they cut the temporary cast off he just kept holding his arm in the air. I'm sure that it felt funny to him. Plus he had a bunch of lint all over his arm and I bet it was itchy! So the specialist said that as long as nothing happens to his arm (like he finishes breaking it further) it will heal just fine. He has to wear it for 3 weeks (which is Sept. 19th)! You know that day can't come quick enough for me. The doctor said he bets Nate is the kind of boy that is back to see him at 5 & 8! I asked him why he would Jinx me like that?!? I let Tori sign it first when we got home. She wrote a big ol' long sentence on it. Saying how good it looked and how much she loves him. His look in this picture is just absolutely priceless. Like, "Are you done yet?" He has already hit her in the head with it a couple of times also! Today is my gpa's 79th birthday. So tonight we will go out there for dinner and to hang out. Come home, baths, bed and start over again tomorrow. Although, the shop is closed tomorrow and I am not working (making that a 4 day weekend for me) so excited about that! I hope to have ALL of the boxes unpacked before I come back to work on Tuesday. Wish me luck!!

Weekend Madness :)~

This has been an extremely busy weekend for me! I know it has for most of you Ganza*Goin*Girls also! Let's start with Friday night! I rushed to Walmart after work to pick up a few things before Rick went to work. I know that he never has Skoal when he needs it so being the support the habit wife that I am I bought one for him! When I told the lady what I needed she asked me to see my ID! OK...you only have to be 18 to buy Tobacco products? Was I suprised? To say the least! My natural response (not meaning to come across rude or anything) was, "REALLY?" She said I just need to be sure. So you might as well know, I will be 32 in October. So was I excited? OH YEAH!!! Saturday was busy with Chase's game and then to the house to try and unpack more boxes for the rest of the day and night. Sunday I got up and went to Church. Got home ate lunch changed clothes and the kids, went to the Eldorado Walmart and then came home. That was at 5:15pm! We no more got our groceries unpacked and I was just starting supper and I hear Nate let out this blood curdling cry! I run in to see what the matter was and he had taken all of the cushions off of the couch so that he could climb up on the arm part and jump and fly like Superman! Although, he missed his landing and hit the floor. So I am at that critical 10 second window, "Do I take him to the hospital or do I see how the evening goes?" After going to the hospital and arriving there at 6:15 we find out several X-Ray's later we find out that both bones in his right arm are broken. So they put a temporary cast on it and we go back on Wednesday to see the Ortho surgeon to see when they will cast it! Then he wears it for 2-3 weeks. His 2nd birthday mind you is in just 2 weeks. I am sure that this is just the beginning of many trips to the hospital! But...I didn't manage to get one layout done this weekend! I was wanting to get something done since I couldn't go to Ganza!

Bunk Beds...anyone?

Since we have just moved and the basement isn't finished in the house we are living in the boys are sharing a room! Naturally 2 beds takes up lots of space so I am thinking of putting them in bunkbeds. Is this a good idea? Probably not but oh well! So if anyone knows of anyone locally that might be getting rid of some, please let me know. So speaking of the whole moving situation we had to re-look at some of our financial stuff today and if I didn't think I could be anymore stressed than I already was then I thought wrong. That couple of hours of sleep I was getting??? Yeah right...probably right out the door. But on a positive note...I hope that all of you Ganza*Goin*Girls have a rockin' time this weekend. I will so miss you and be thinking of the fun you are having without me!
