Can't believe the Weekend is Over!!

I can't believe the weekend is already over and we are already in the month of August. Wow Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before we know it. Nothing really exciting has went on this weekend. Friday night Kason spent the night with my sister so I decided to go to dinner and a movie with a friend (Shuan). Let me just say Dark Knight is a fabulous movie and Heath Ledger does a awesome job as the Joker. Its about a 2 1/2 or 3 hour movie if you count the credits but it is so worth it. I actually slept in Saturday morning until about 10 am and boy was it nice. I decided to do a side job with Shaun so I could make some extra money on the side. I know this sounds weird coming for a girl but most of you that reads this knows that I love to do house stuff...I guess that's why Shaun called me because he knows I'm one of the few girls that loves doing crazy things like this. He is trying to get a house ready to paint so he needed help taking down shutters, pressure washing the house and fighting off a few wasp in the process. After a couple of hours sweating in the heat it was either time to hit the shower or the pool...so I decided the pool was the first choice, shower later. When I got to the pool my family was grilling out and making homemade ice cream. After that it was time to go home and get Kason ready for bed. Ofcourse today was Kason's day with his daddy so I ran a couple of errands after church ofcourse. It has been alittle bit of a emotional day for me, want go into details, just please continue to keep me in your prayers. So I decided to go home, take a nap then it was back to the pool for some more relaxation before Dennis brought the baby back home. Like I said nothing really to exciting happened this weekend just not looking forward to another work week. Oh yea and by the way I think Kason is back to feeling better. His dad said he ate pretty normal today so hopefully we are over the stomach virus and so far neither myself or parents have gotten it yet.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!!

Another Day Home with Kason

Well yesterday when I went to pick up Kason they said that he had just thrown up again so I was thinking oh great. Anyways we had to run to Walmart before we went home and he seemed like he was in a good mood but of course that all changed when I got home and went to put him in his high chair for dinner. Yep that's right he threw up all down the front of me and him. So I called the nurse again and she said there is nothing they will do because of his age it just has to "run its course" (I hate that line) She said to start over with just clear liquids and fruits. I was thinking oh great another night of no sleep and 6 changes of clothes. Luckily it wasn't a bad night he went right to sleep and slept till about 8:20 this morning. I decided to keep him out of daycare today so I could give him clear liquids and monitor his food intake so we wouldn't have anymore episode. I had some errands to run so we headed out this morning to Gardendale. I had to go ahead and get him measured for his Birthday JonJon and T-Shirt. I of course had Milo's for lunch and Kason had Apples/Pears with Pedialyte. Then it was off to Hobby Lobby for a quick look through. After that I decided to take him by my old work, MediSYS, because the girls haven't seen him in forever. They were all happy to see us and couldn't believe how big he has gotten. Then it was home for a nap, Thank God because I need one 2. Of course the rest of the evening he has been alittle ill. I told him to quit throwing those Reno fits because Lord knows he didn't get that from me. Not really for sure what is wrong but it finally became 8pm and I put him to bed. Now its just pretty much time to get stuff together for another day. I have come to the conclusion over the last couple of days that I'm really don't think I was meant to be a stay at home mom. I love Kason to death but WOW its a tough job.
Not really for sure what the weekend holds yet. Kason is spending the night with Aunt Leslie tomorrow night, so I get a free night. YEAH!!! YEAH!!! Hopefully if it doesn't rain Saturday we can get in some pool time and Sunday Kason has to go to his daddy's for the day so who knows what I will do. Me without Kason you never know what kind of trouble I might get into...Yea Right!!!!
Well I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Kason's First Stomach Virus

Well you would never know by the videos below that Kason was up until 2 am Monday night / Tuesday morning with a stomach virus. It all started about 7:30 I was giving him a bath and I had laid him back to wash his hair and when I set him up he kind of choked and then threw up. I thought maybe I had just gotten water in his ear and it choked him because after that he played like nothing was wrong and as you can see by the video he climbed the stairs about 3 times. Well it was getting closer to his bed time and we were in the den playing and all of a sudden we had another episode but this time it was alot worse. So after I finally got him all cleaned up and the carpet all cleaned up it was time for him to go to bed. Well of course we had about 3 more episode in the bed and then we finally just started dry heaving. I think between the 2 of us we went through 6 outfits of clothes. Needless to say it was not a good night for us. Yesterday he seemed pretty okay. I tried not to give him anything heavy, mostly just clear liquids and some crackers. By the evening time he was acting pretty much back to normal so I decided to go to dinner at PF Chang's with a friend. When I got home mom said he was running alittle bit of a fever (100.1) but other than that he still seemed okay. So I was thinking finally I'm going to get some sleep. Well about 10 something he wakes up crying for no reason and this goes off and on till about 11. I finally gave him some Motrin and put some rub on his gums because hey when they can't talk to you, you must try everything and I knew I needed some sleep. After that he didn't wake up until I woke him up this morning. He was alittle on the ill side this morning but no fever so I sent him on to daycare. He was alittle unhappy when I dropped him off but hopefully he will have a good day.

Hope everyone is having a good week. HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!!!



Climbing the Stairs - I don't know why he finds it so fun, it only seems like alot of work to me.

Here he is trying to climb underneath the table

This is what happens when you leave a 11mth old to entertain himself while you try and take a shower. He pulled all his clothes out of his tower and decided to use it as a hiding place.

Cute Little Boy

Weekend Review

Wow we had a pretty busy weekend. Friday night me and Kason went to the mall to get him some new shoes for daycare because he starts his big boy class today and he really needed to be in shoes and they also told me he needed a nap mat because they think he is going to sleep on a mat instead of in a crib. I'm glad they get to handle that and not me. So I was lucky enough to find him a nap mat at the Disney store and it is the cutest thing. The mat part is mickey mouses body and the pillow part is his head. We also started looking at winter clothes because hey if you don't start shopping now all the cute stuff will be gone. After that I met my parents to drop him off so I could run by my house so when I got home I was expecting him to be in bed but nope I was wrong he was going through the house like a mad man. Hey that's what happens when you send your kids home with Nana and PaPaw. My mom said she would get up with Kason on Saturday morning if I wanted to sleep late so of course I didn't turn that offer down and it was nice being able to sleep until 10am.

This weekend was also the start of no more Bottle and Formula for Kason. This is all because he starts his new class today and they will be giving him whole milk and regular food so I figured its either now or 4 weeks from now when its his birthday. He does okay with the whole milk but I put it to him like this you either drink the milk or you don't get anything else. Of course I'm sure you are thinking I'm a mean mom but like the doctor said if he gets thirsty enough he will drink the milk. So I'm sticking to it.

Saturday was a day of Birthday parties for us. We made our first stop at my best friends house for Nathan's 2nd Birthday party. Some of you may not know but my friend April is alittle over the top with things and when its comes to birthday parties she really stresses out but I have to say she had ever right to this time. The theme for Nathan's party was water. She had purchased a water slide from Wal-mart, she had a slip n' slide and a baby pool for the smaller kids. Well as of Friday no water slide from Wal-mart in fact they lost the order on July 2nd and forgot or just decided not to call her. So after alot of stressing out she decided to rent a slide. Now this slide was alittle bigger than the original she had planned at 14 ft high and 30 ft long but she was determined to have a slide. Well everyone knows it rained Saturday so it wasn't looking like she was going to be able to use the $300 rental slide but finally after alot of thundering and lightening we were finally able to just play in the rain alittle bit. Of course the slide was alittle big for 2 years old and after Doug (Nathan's dad) hit his tail bone one good time it was kiddy pool for Nate after that. Oh well the older kids loved the slide and Madison had a blast. I didn't even try the slide with Kason I just put him in the kiddy pool but ofcourse my little guy found the mud holes alot more exciting then the kiddy pool. So I just decided to lose that battle and after playing in the mud I would just spray him down with a hose pipe. After I got Kason all cleaned up we went over to my friend Casie's parents house. She was home from GA and invited us over for her birthday cookout and plus she hasn't seen Kason since he was probably 4 weeks so she really wanted to see him. It was really great being able to spend some time with her. You would have thought Kason was part of the family because they just ate him up and of course he is like his daddy in meaning that he never meets a strange so he would just let anyone hold him. Finally we decided to head back to Hayden and make a stop by my Aunt Robin's house because my cousin Shelley was home from Auburn and they were having brownies and ice cream for my Uncle's birthday. After about a hour of that Kason let me know that he was tried and was ready for bed. Sunday was a day at church and we had a very uplifting service. Kason of course went to the nursery and they said he got alot upset when he saw another babies bottle. Oh well once again I'm sticking with it. After that we went to lunch with April and Anthony for a little mexican then home to take a nap. Finally that evening I got to have some Angela time and went to eat with a friend and then to game night at Robert's house. Finally at 9:00 pm they decided to play poker and I decided just to socialize because I'm not so good at poker. Needless to say it was about 11pm when I got home and I'm alittle tired today because I didn't sleep very well. Sometimes I just wish my brain had a on/off switch it would make things alot easier for me but here I am another week at work. Like I said Kason started his Toddler 3 class today he looked like such a big boy this morning with his new shoes on. It was kind of sad when I dropped him off this morning because it made me realize that my little boy is growing up. I can't wait to hear how his first day went at daycare with no bottle, no morning nap and trying to sleep on a nap mat. I might be in for a great surprise this evening.

Well enough writing for now....Below are pictures from the birthday party, weekend and his outfit for his first day in big boy class.

Hope everyone has a great week!!

Happy Birthday Nathan

Random Pictures from the weekend and his first day in big boy class

YEAH ITS FRIDAY!!!!

Thank the Lord its Friday!!!! The rest of the week has actually been pretty smooth at work. No major issues just trying to get some work done but I can't seem to stay focused. Not really for sure what the weekend holds for the 2 of us. Of course with the 2 of us you never know what can happen. I'm just hoping he sleeps alittle later in the morning so I can catch up on some sleep...but that probably want happen.

Okay you know how I'm always saying Kason is into everything well here he is trying to climb into the TV stand...If I could have figured out a way to put him in it I would have but he was alittle to big. Also one day I caught him hanging from the TV stand trying to climb it. All I could see was ER visit. Also the other pictures of him under the chair are because he decides to do things the hard way. Instead of crawling around the chair to get what he wants he thinks he can just slide right under them...but of course when he figures out his way wasn't really a good way he would get mad and start crying. Finally I just started leaving him underneath so he would have to figure out on his own how to get out. The rest are just more beach pictures.

Is It Friday Yet????

Well everyone knows when you miss a week of work due to vacation when you return you never no what you are going to get. Well I returned to work on Monday with 122 emails to sort through and then to make things even better my computer was down until after 2pm on Tuesday so I didn't get alot done yesterday either. On a fun note I finally got to experience Dreamland BBQ last night I know you are probably thinking who in Alabama hasn't eaten at Dreamland well now I can say I have. As far as Kason he has started drinking whole milk now and really seems to like it. I'm hoping soon we will be done with both formula and his bottle.

Hopefully the rest of the week will go smoothly at work, with no major problems. Not really for sure what the weekend holds yet other than my best friends little boy's Birthday party and my cousin Shelley is coming home from Auburn this weekend...so we finally get to see the engagement ring and I'm sure hear about all her wedding plans.

Hope everyone is having a great week so far.

Love you all!!!
