Here Comes Trouble!

 

My little monkey is 5 months old today! More later...promise...

Mama's lil' biker boy...

Lucas Jeffrey

Lucas Jeffrey Kennedy

Baby Lucas made his appearance at 6:14 this morning! His mommy had to push for over three hours....but they were able to avoid a c-section! He weighs 9 lbs 4 oz and is 21 3/4 inches long! They are doing well, just super tired. I can't wait to get my hands on him and kiss those chubby little cheeks! I am sure my mom will post some good pics on her blog later...

Happy Halloween!

We had a great time this year trick or treating with our family and friends! Jaxon went back and forth on what he wanted to be and finally settled on Batman. Cash was originally going to be a monkey, but then I found this adorable Lil' Monster costume and couldn't resist! I guess this is all you are going to get for now, as my lil monster is screaming for me to come take care of him!

Random Thoughts...

Random Thoughts of the Day:


1) Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

2) I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

3) There is a great need for a sarcasm font.

4) How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

5) I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

6) MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

7) Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

8) I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

9) Bad decisions make good stories

10) I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me
if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

11) I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

12) I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

13) As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

14) I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

15) I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

Cute e-mail I had to share!

Happy Birthday in Heaven

Today is Grandma Vickie's 50th birthday. Jaxon wants to send balloons to Heaven but there is no place in town to buy any. Bummer. I am sure she will still enjoy them, even if they are a day or two late.


"Happy Birthday Vickie"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?


Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.


Yes your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And we know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.


The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And we know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.


No we can't send a card this year,
Or a bouquet of flowers.
So we'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful grand/mother of ours.

We love you, Grandma Vickie!

Happy 4th Birthday to Jaxon!

Four years ago I became a mother. It has been the most amazing four years of my life! Jaxon is very excited to be turning four! When he got up this morning he asked if he was bigger now, as in taller, so he stood up and I said, "Wow! You grew overnight!" He stomped his feet and said, "I can stomp like a 4yr old now, not a 3 yr old." Then he went potty and said, "I have to potty on a bigger toilet now that I am 4, not 3." When his dad walked into the living room Jaxon said, "Did I wake you up when I stomped, because I am big now that I am 4 and I stomp loud." We asked him what special breakfast he wanted and he picked a bowl of Fruit Loops without any milk, and when he started to eat he said to me, "I eat like a 4 yr old now instead of a 3 yr old!"

I am hoping to get more pictures up by the end of the day, but it may not get done because we have some celebrating to do! The plan for the day is to go to Jaxon's first p/t conference, make cupcakes with the big 4 yr old, open a couple of presents, and take Jaxon to dinner wherever he wants to go. As of last night, he wanted to go to Pizza Hut in Chadron.

A few more cute things Jaxon has said this morning:

"Mom, I love it when I am already four."
"I won't make a mess in my bedroom now that I am four."
"I can learn like you now that I am four."
"Hey Mom, do you think I am big enough to drive the van?"

In the collage I posted, Jaxon got to wear his Transformer shirt to school, which I don't normally allow. He also got some new Bumblebee play shoes that he insisted he wear to match the shirt. Of course he made me take a pic of those!
