yet another month goes by..

mommys hair cut

i know, ive become terrible when it comes to blogging and keeping things up. Ive just been a busy mom here the past month. where do i start? hmmm.. Jr got his first hair cut, and of course it was by his mommy :) Those curls were just getting out of control, and i just decided to take some shears to cut them down, it was cute but you could tell that it was a home made haircut. lol so about a week later his daddy gave him a real haircut and he just looked so handsome. even if he does have a serious cowlick on the front of his head. lol

Weve been to a birthday party here recently at chuck e cheese, and he was not a fan of the moving rides. even when he was riding with his little cousin



This past weekend we went to the state fair and this was the first time that Jr has ever seen any type of animal other than a regular type animal. He got real excited when he saw the cows, chickens, rabbits, goats and pigs. He was laughing and screaming and everything. We had a really good time, and apparently so did he since he was knocked out on the way home.

time to play catch up...

damn ive been slacking.. its been almost a month since ive blogged.. my bad... there's so much to catch up on. First we went to the Kalahari resort in wisconsin for my Sr family reunion and we had a ball. the resort was so nice, they had an indoor and outdoor water park, and an indoor theme park. we all had a good time. they had rides for the little kids, the big kids and all kinds of extra stuff. lil mel got in the pool for the first time. he wasnt a fan of the slides where water went in his face, but he was all about the lazy river.. they also had smaller rides in the indoor theme park and he was loving most of em.. he didnt like the merry go round or the mini pirates ship, but he was loving the swing.

When we got back from the family reunion, he started a real day care and on his second day he came home with war wounds.. this little girl there scratched his face around his eye. surprisingly im not the crazy parent  that does all the cussing and actin crazy.. mel doesnt act out but he sure does get mad when it comes to his baby. lol its actually kinda funny. i didnt trip like he thought i should have, i mean after all they are kids, and  its not the facilities fault that the girls nails werent clipped.. now if it happens again then we will have some problems. when they told me that he did some pictures you woulda thought they said he just redid a picasso or something.. lol ive never been so proud of scribbles in my entire life. :)

Today while we were home waiting for daddy to get home, i decided that it was time to cut his hair..ive already been talking about it, but i guess i just got impatient and decided to do it myself. i took the shears to his head and got him together. one of my friends said its uneven, its not, i just laid his hair down for the first time. he still has a head full of curls, its just about training his hair now. hes so cute with his hair cut. i just love it. and the fact that i cut it makes it just that much  better. 

thats all ive got for now, gotta get my house ready for tomorrow. peace.

ready set go!

just when we finally get settled back into our routine, its about to get messed up again. were about to go to another family reunion! only this one is going to be at a water park this time!! i know both mel and i are excited, but i dont think jr has any idea whats about to happen. lol i took him to the waterpark at the waterfront yesterday for a friends sons bday and he wasnt a fan of the water too much. lol

i hope the water is warmer where were going so that he can actually have some fun. but once we got out of the water he had fun playing on the playground and flirting with the little girls in their swim suits.. i know im gonna have a problem on my hands when he gets older because hes already trying to flirt with the girls, young and old alike.. 

hangin out with his aunt shauna

this is my favoirte.. he walked thru the tunnel with his mouth open the whole way.

i love our sundays, they are the chill and relax days.. <3

What a week!

 FINALLY!!! we took our vacation. we went to colorado for a suprise family reunion/ 80th birthday party for my granny.. it all worked out really well, and she was so overwhelmed. it was amazing. my whole family has never been together in one spot like that at one time. it was crazy because all of the grandkids are all grown. hell i havent seen some of my cousins for 12-13 years and now we are all grown?!?! it was a trip. i think this weekend was second best to my wedding. ive met cousins that ive never met before, everyone got to meet the only great grand child. it was amazing. i called my granny today 3 days later and she is still so excited and smiley and overwhelmed. im glad we all did this for her..

so overwhelmed and surprised

who woulda thought?

who woulda thought that packing for a family vacation would require so much? sheesh, i remember packin used to be nothin, now i have to put everything on a list for fear of forgetting something. the last time i had to pack for me and the baby we went to my moms house and he was all of 3 months. that was an easy trip. now...shheeettt i have to pack toys (to keep him occupied on the road), a booster seat, medicine, shoes...and the list goes on. lol but its all good, ill take having to do all this packing if it means we get to take our first real family vacation, and were going to see my granny and all my other family. i cant wait for tuesday to get here. (thats when we leave.) but what makes it so bad is that i dont have to work monday because its memorial day but i have to go to work that following day, work those 8 hours and then leave for vacation. those are going to be the longest 8 hours of my life. lol oh well. well im bout to fold some laundry and find something to watch. duces                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

its official... i hate derby

after having to work the schedule that i just worked this week of derby, i can officially say i hate it. this week i had to clock at least 70 hours in 6 days.. although the check is going to be fat as hell, but goodness i am tired.. ive had to do 13 hour days thursday, friday, and saturday. and every night but tonight (saturday) some how this little boy has managed to stay awake long enough to see me when i get home. i guess he just had to lay eyes on me before he could go to sleep. lol hes so cute.. oh well. im bout to finish this lovely drink and go to bed, i am whooped!

Best 1st Birthday Party Weekend EVER!!

I am so glad that this weekend is over. granted i still have my familia in town, but the major stress of the party is over. It turned out to be a really nice party, we had a nice little turn out and my baby had a good time. His auntie gave him a corvette hotwheel, he got some trucks and of course clothes. Its been great having my cousin and friends here. Everytime they come in town we have a ball. We went bowling after the party and still had a ball. I know one thing, im greatful that this weekend is coming to an end. Now to get ready to put in 70 hours in 6 days at work
