Oh Baby!



Look there really is a baby in there!

I know I haven't blogged in like forever! This is actually the first time I have even spent any amount of time on the computer. The computer is my enemy...it just wants stuff from me. I have been super sick, but don't worry I am sure I will feel better in a few weeks, my fingers are crossed!
Last week I went to the doctor and got to see the baby and hear its tiny heart beat! I was so excited. I can't believe I got to see the baby so soon! According to the ultra sound I am 9 1/2 weeks, so I am due on March 21!
After the first two weeks of being sick Ethan started to get worried that he would be having frozen dinners every night for the next year. And well I couldn't really reassure him otherwise...whats wrong with frozen dinners? Hayden told me my baby is really small, and asked why I wasn't fat yet...We quickly had a little talk about how pregnant women are not fat, they just get a bigger belly as the baby grows. Last week Shawn asked if I had a pooch yet. Can someone please tell my husband that under no circumstance do we ever call a belly a pooch, even if there is a pooch we just dont call it that! It's a baby, not a pooch. And anyways, for crying out loud I am only 9 weeks, there is no pooch! Geesh! My family is giving me a complex.
Anyway I am super excited, and can hardly wait. I can also hardly wait for it to cool off here, but oh well, only soon enough I suppose.

Hayden turns Five! Rocket Ship Party


The invite.
Hayden had a ball handing out his invites.

The front door.
The party favors.
My sister wrapped her present to look like a rocket, isn't it so darling. I didn't want Hayden to open it!

I pretty much didn't do any decorating, I just was not feeling up to it. In fact I really just wanted to sleep through the party, so we kept everything super simple. I just decorated the table, with place cards, the pinata, balloons, and the cup cakes. It looked festive, and Hayden was thrilled, so that's all that matters!
I've been looking for the perfect party theme for months. I wanted to do something special, and it had to be homemade. So when I came across this idea for a Rocket ship Party on this blog, I knew it would be perfect. Not to fussy but still fun and different. I think it turned out great. Hayden had so much fun, so naturally, I was very pleased!

More Party


Hayden was thrilled about all of his presents. He's easy though, he just likes getting new things!
The kids blew bubbles.
Thanks to Aunt Amberly, we shot off a rocket. The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever. It went super high, and flew probably a block away.
The kids took turns blowing up and releasing rocket balloons.
Everyone sang Happy Birthday, and Hayden made a wish!
