Happy Birthday, Moma!

I hope you had a wonderful day! I won't tell anyone how old you are... =) I don't have a picture of you, you're probably relieved. Thanks for all you are and all you do. You are a wonderful mother and now an amazing friend. I am so blessed to have you in my life.

On another note...Alex is just too funny...he was told to pick up his Hot Wheels tonight. He doesn't really like picking up his toys. He asked me to help him and I explained that he needed to do it himself. He told me he wanted to play 'when I am the Mommy and you are little Alex. You want to play that? I said sure, what would you do if you were the Mommy?' He said, 'I would help you pick up your cars.'

For American Idol fans...Did you hear the young kid sing the John Lennon song last night? He got rave reviews...Well, I heard Daughtry sing it at his concert in December and he sang it way, way better........

It's leap year tomorrow and I have the day off...wahoo.

SURPRISE!

I have the best husband ever! Yesterday for my birthday he got a babysitter and planned a date night. He took me to Bonefish for a delicious dinner - including strawberry shortcake for dessert - yummy! and he surprised me with a gift. He gave me this beautiful saphire butterfly ring. I had showed him this ring at BJs probably 6 months ago and told him I liked it. We haven't bought each other gifts in several years because we've been trying to pay off our van and cut down our debt. Well, he said that I deserved a present this year and surprised me with this. I think he's been saving his lunch money =). How sweet is that?! Not only that he bought me a gift but that he listened when I told him something I liked. He planned all this out about a month ago...he's just the best. So, thoughtful and caring, so good to me. I love you with all my heart and thank God everyday that he gave you to me.

Thank you again for my birthday celebration - you are the BEST!

Party Pictures

Here are the party pictures. Sorry it took awhile...we've had camera issues that I won't go in to... Anyway...NO I didn't make their cakes. Chris Patrick from Easley always makes cakes for me. She's very affordable and does an AWESOME job. She can make anything you want and her cakes taste good. At any rate as you can see they both had a great time!! Enjoy...



This is Alex with his new quilt for his bottom bunk bed... of course he wants to take it off and put it anywhere he wants to lie down. My parents and Shon and I went in together for this to be his gift. He loves it!

Happy Birthday, Alex!!

Alex is 3 today. I know I say it over and over but time goes by really fast. It just seems like yesterday that he was born. Happy Birthday, baby. We're having his first 'friend' party this afternoon and he is soooo excited!!
Pictures from both boy's parties to come. I love you little angel.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, Shon!! You are the best Daddy, husband and friend I know! Thanks for all you do. I love you very much. Have a wondeful day.

Aways and forever...

Mommy, I like you!

After picking Alex up today he told me he had gotten in trouble for disagreeing with Sarah. That is pretty typical. A few minutes later he said "Mommy, I wike you." This is also one of his typical, favorite things to say. I said, "You seem to like me a lot when you get in trouble." He said, "When I get in big twouble I wike you a whoe wot, Mommy!" He kept telling me that all know with a completely straight face. Later he got very quiet while I was helping John with his homework. I called him and he said, "I not messing with your make-up, Mommy." He came in to the living room and proceeded to do a little dance, with black eye shadow all over his face while saying "I'm so petty, so, so petty!" He keeps me smiling, belly laughing is more like it!!

FEB 5th!

WOW, it's already Feb 5th!! Where does the time go? I know I have been slammed at work. The flu has hit SWU along with several other nasty little viruses. They are keeping me busy! I like to be busy but not so busy I can't think!!! So, what's up? Who saw LOST last week? I'm interested in everyone's theories? Who has stopped making theories? Does anyone think there is a biblical tie? Savior Locke? Redeemed Locke? Lot of tortured souls on there... All I can say is it is some creative writing!! Shon is just about sick of it though.

John's new favorite show is American Gladiators -- hmm -- he likes that. Tonight Biggest Loser. He likes reality TV. Any TV... =)

Hope you all are well and FLU FREE!
