3 years old...


We celebrated Wild Man's birthday on Saturday. I have to say that having a December birthday is a lot harder for the parents than the child. Every child invited to the party showed up to celebrate--in my house. That's the hard part. If it were May or even October we could attempt to have a wonderful OUTdoor celebration. But it is absolutely not happening in December. (Unless of course we move to FL, which by the way is not such a bad idea) Anyway, it was a huge success. He is very into dinosaurs right, hence the theme. The cake was a stegasarus, and it couldn't have been cuter! If you ever need a cake lady, I've got her number.

Yesterday after church we headed to my grandparent's house for our first Christmas gathering. It was pretty uneventful as far as family functions go. We had a fabulous dinner! Have I ever told you how much I LOVE HAM! Well, I do. Wild Man got his 2nd scooter of the weekend, and he's becoming quite the pro. But it's a good thing it came with a helment and knee/elbow pads because we'll need them!

Suge and I are headed way down south the day after Christmas to enjoy some time with friends at the beach. I think it's well deserved US time. I can't wait.

And I'm going to get to posting those pictures soon. I promise... (Picture posted! Wildman in the dino dig!)

Let the Parties Begin


As much as I love Thanksgiving, I love this time of year for totally different reasons. I love parties, dressing up, entertaining, and celebrating my baby's birthday! We kicked off this week with the Christmas parade and will end it with my office Christmas party. Can't wait!

Oh, and I AM GOING TO GET MY TREE DECORATED if it kills me.

Pictures soon to come, I promise! (Finally, picture posted! Suge and I at Office Christmas Party.)

Thanks on Thanksgiving

Well friends I did it. I ran the race on Thanksgiving Day and never had to walk or stop! Can you believe it? After I'm finished with this post I am going to look back at week 1 and see how far I've come. My time was 34:30, which is not fantastic but it's alright with me. QT and her man came in to town to show support, she's been such a motivator. Suge and Wildman came out to cheer me in too. I'll post pics soon.

We had such a great relaxing Thanksgiving. The #1 reason it's my favorite holiday!

On to Christmas though...

The Christmas parade was last night and it was great! The kids enjoyed themselves even if it was FREEZING! It made it feel like Christmas ****

In other news, 12 years ago today Suge and I had our first date (what we mark as the beginning of our relationship, anyway). It was the beginning of 12 happy years together. Love you Suge, hope there's many, many more!

I'm just busy loving life. How 'bout you?
