Birthday Party Extraordinaire

We finally had Nevin's birthday party...a month late. But it was well worth the wait! We had it at our local recreation center that has an awesome pool! It was soo fun! The water slide was a blast. Nevin and his friends had such a great time! Kieran wasn't sure what to think of so much water but he warmed up to it. We can't wait to go back! So without further adieu...here are the pictures. Notice the cool, made from scratch cake? It's totally vegan...shhh! :)







P.S. I got the recipe for the cake from The Vegan Lunch Box cook book. I love that book!

Christmas Is Coming

So we finally have our tree up. We still have some last minute shopping to do and I still have nothing to wear! Why does it have to be so stressful? I mean it's fun and I LOVE it...it is my favorite holiday after all but jeez.

I am having my root canal finished on sat morning...fun times! Not looking forward to that but so glad that I won't be in pain anymore...yippee!!!

We had a play date today! It was great. My friend came over with her almost 2 year old little girl (who has a crush on Nevin...too cute!) and the 9 month old baby boy that she babysits for. It was great having some adult interaction.

This week Kieran has started the whole not sharing thing. Oh boy...I do not like this phase. Every time on of the other little ones has one of his toys he flipped out. Seriously...he just started doing this, out of the blue, yesterday! He never use to care before. Speaking of Kieran...he's awake! Gotta go. More later. :D

Happy Birthday Nevin!

Yesterday my little boy turned 10!!! So hard to believe and boy does it make me feel old. Just Saturday we were at the mall, looking at clothes and I said that a shirt was "totally awesome" and he rolled his eyes at me! Just like I use to roll my eyes at my Mom when she tried to act cool. So I said "what Nev, is that not the cool thing to say? Whats the cool thing to say nowadays? Rad, groovy, rockin', totally sweet?" ROFL! He looked at me like I was some alien and said "Mom you're too old to act cool". Whoa!

Josh made Nevin a macaroni and cheese pizza! He just came up with the idea and suprised him with it. Nevin LOVED it. Said it was the best pizza he's ever had...better than regular pizza and way better than regular mac and cheese. I wish I had gotten a picture! Then we sang Happy Birthday and had some yummy cake.

I'll post pics and a video soon! :)

Kieran's Growing Up So Fast!

I just wanted to update on all of the new things Kieran does!
Well, he's walking up a storm and even running! He's becoming so independent!
He's also talking up a storm. Here are all the words he can say(I'm sure I'll forget some though):
Mama
Daddy(dacume)
Mama
Willy(our cat)
Chocho(our other cat)
Wah wah(water)
Hat
Bath
Num num(for food and nursing)
Paper
Ribbon
No no(lol)
Ruff ruff(for dog)
Meh(for meow)
Walk
Shoe
Eyes
Mouth
Baby
Wee wee(that's what he calls feet from me doing "this little piggy" with his toes)
Nigh night(night night)
Hi
Bye
Ring(for the phone ringing)
Juice
Pee Pee
Wee(for swing)
Open
Boo boo
Hair
Well, those are ones I can remember and after typing them out I'm shocked by just ow many he knows! He also has his own made up for things. Like for vacuum, car etc.

He loves playing with Nevin and they have so much fun together! He loves food and playing outside. He tells us that he wants to go outside by pointing to the door and saying "walk"(as in walking in the yard or going for a walk) and by saying "wee" for the swing in our backyard. I can't get over how fast he learns!

He loves the cats to death and walks after them all day. He's gotten much better with petting them and hardly ever pulls their hair anymore. :) Though he still remembers getting scratched by out cat Snowflake MONTHS ago!! He rubs is arm and says's "ow, boo boo" LOL.

He has 5 teeth now and is working on his 6th!

And I can't leave without mentioning my sweet boy, Nevin. He has got to be the best big brother ever! He plays so well with Kieran and really helps out. He may complain at times but hey, what can you expect? LOL.

He is acting more and more the a teenager everyday! He's doing well, with homeschooling, has lots of friends and plays outside a lot...riding his bike and skate board.

His hair is getting way too long now and really needs a cut or at least a trim. Boy he was not happy when he heard that!

So that's my update on the kiddo's. :D
