Birthday FUN!

So this past weekend was Cristian's 2nd birthday. It was FANTASTIC, we had a big birthday party at my house for him. We had a few finger foods, made hot dogs on the grill and of course had cake and ice cream. The cake was Elmo or as Cristian would say "MELMO"...lol! Alot people showed up, friends and family and we got a big blow up thing for the kids to run through and jump in, they had a blast. And it was beautiful day, the kids got a little sun, so we had to break out the sunblock. We opened presents outside in the gazebo. It just turned out really nice! I am definietly glad birthdays only happen once a year, by the time it was all over I was eghausted.John stayed with us that night and we were all worn out even into Sunday. we got up and Me, John and Cristian met Jackie at Shoney's for breakfast, got home about 12:30 and we all laid down and didn't wake up until 4:30 even Cristian slept that long too, I was really surprised! Of course now I think I 'm coming down with something, I had a little bit of a fever yesterday and still even today my throat is scratchy, hoepfully it doesn't get any worse than this and hopefully Cristian doesn't catch!

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Yesterday was my 24th birthday, it was fricken awesome! We all went to Plaza for dinner and had a great time, had a few drinks, mingled with my friends and family, and John bought me some yellow tulips in a vase (they're my fave) and wrote me a poem for my birthday, it was genuine sweet! You can always tell who your REAL friends are when your birthday rolls around. You may not speak to them on a regular basis but they always show up or call for important events. But it was a fun night!!!

Cristian got his cast off yesterday, thank God! I wish and never hope anyone's children ever has to have a cast and I feel for those of who have had children who's had a cast. It is absolute torture especially when it comes to taking a bath. Cristian screamed bloody murder the whole time, never again! Now he's happy as clam, just nobody can touch his boo-boo...lol!

Until next time...

My poor little baby boy!

So my sweet boy had the second surgery on his other big toe for ingrown toenails this past Thursday. He had the first surgery February 5th, and that one healed just fine, but last time he kept pulling the bandages off so this time the doctor put a cast on his leg all the way up to his knee. He didn't handle the waking up after the surgery as well as he did last time. So we just ket him nap for as long as he wanted afterwards and then once he got up and the knumbing blocker wore off, I tried to get him to walk and he wanted nothing to do with that at the time but by the end of the night he was walking just fine and then by Friday he was trying to run and let me tell you it was the funniest thing. Now he's just fine, walking, running, playing outside in the dirt and everything. He'll get the cast cut off this Thursday and hopefully his toe will have healed a little bit. The worst part about this surgery this time around other than the cast being put on, is giving him a bath, OMGosh it was absolutely horrible and heartbreaking. We had to wrap his leg in 3 plastic bags and could not put any water in the tub, he had to lay in an empty tub with just the faucet running, he was cold and very pissed off. So yea I have to put him thru that atleast til Thursday.

This weekend was fricken AWESOME! We got Busch and Water Country season passes already and me and my aunt took Cristian to Busch on Friday and he had a blast, the new Sesame Street part of the park had just opened so we spent majority the whole time in there, rode some baby rides and watched Elmo and friends sing and dance, it was GREAT! Cristian absolutely loved it. It's great because he'll be 2 on the 18th and now he's old enough that he can actually enjoy those kind of things. Last year he was old enough for Water Country and we took him almost every Saturday that was good. Now we can do both parks and actually get my moneys worth! This will definetly be a great summer!

Until next time...XOXO
