My Boy Melts My Heart

Awwwwww sigh of sweet relief of the love that I feel that surrounds me when I am with little monkey.....he just elates me with so much happiness!! I am just sitting here wishing I could spend all my time with him everyday as we just have so much fun together!!

This is all that I can think of right now:

Thats it for today......the sun is shining and I have an amazing family.....life does not get any better!!

Milestones

Soooooo I have been in the dumps a little bit lately....it has become a reality that having another baby is just going to take alot longer than we ever anticipated. We are right around the corner of trying for a full year......I have my good days and bad days with it, today is a bad day hence why I find the need to maybe get it off my chest to help me enjoy my day better!! I think its getting really hard now because pretty much everyone around me is pregnant and some of them are getting prepared for their little ones to make their grand entrance and I have yet to still not even become pregnant, when we started trying before some got pregnant.




I know I should not dwell on what I don't have and focus on what I do have, but some days that isn't always easy, as some of you may know your own personal heartaches have to be accounted for, just because you do have a great life doesn't mean you can't be sad sometimes.



OK ENOUGH of my own personal pity party, time to move on to something SO VERY amazing......Aydan. He is no longer going to be technically a baby, in a short time he is going be the big 2!!! I can't believe how fast time goes, I wish it would chug along rather than steam full speed ahead

From this

to this

Sweet & Stuff .......dun dun dun.....Rough & Tough

ha ha he's still an angel, just such a big boy now

We have been preparing for his Monkey Jungle Birthday set to happen in only just 3 more weeks!! I can't believe it, I am so excited to have everyone over to celebrate the birth of my sweet boy. I am so excited to see his face light up with the new swing set we got him and when he sees all his cousins and little friends that he just loves dearly. Nothing makes my heart flutter more than watch my little man's face light up with joy, it is such an exhilarating feeling.......

We got alot of Ideas from some great minds....here; everything was just so cute!!

So the invitations have been made and sent out yesterday all thanks to my wonderful husband Mike getting them to the post office for me!! He's just so sweet to do his part. My cupcake stand came in yesterday...big enough to hold 48 cupcakes. We will be aiming for those delightful Betty Crocker jungle animal cupcakes and two Monkey cakes!!

So for an update of how this turned out .......

So here are the cupcakes all displayed in the jungle glory!! 

This was Aydan's Special Cake just for him.... I actually made him two since I had some much batter!! It was just as fun eating it as it was making it all!!  

My little fluffy red head getting to enjoy it! ..... (I am writing/updating this a year later and its amazing to look back and his baby features and this think how fast time has already gone by)

What do you think? Can I pass for Betty Crocker someday???

Celebrating Yet Another Year

So be that it may that I have to get another year older...... Funny thing is I am more OK  with it than I thought that I would be with being in the last year of my 20's......yes yes I am 29 today!!! I guess the thought is I am going to live it up for this last year of my 20's.....learn new things if I can, do as much as I can and yes friends maybe get a date in with my hubby for the first time since Aydan was born!!

Hmmmm life without my son.....could never imagine it, that life is only a distant memory, but a good with that. But this chapter of my life being mommy I love on both good days and bad. I just really love this chapter of my life and growing now with my little man is just amazing in every way!! I feel so very lucky to have everything that I do at this age.........

• An adoring husband that always puts up with me. He is supportive, loving, his own comedian.....and most of all he is my best friend that I can confide in. There is nothing better in this world than having someone you love so much standing right beside you and while they are you can feel how much their love surrounds you.
• An extrordinary son......who amazes me everyday!! He is so smart and inquizative, the amount of curiosity that I see in him is just astounding. He is everything that I dreamed of....even on a bad day!! I love that feeling of knowing he needs me, that he depends on me to teach him as much as I can and show him how much I love him each and everyday!!

My love and inspiration for everyday:

Goals

So I seem to always set goals for myself......but I find myself mystified by the fact that I can never seem to keep to them. I think that I am still like that 5 year old that set out to build a sandcastle and two hours later you find that I have a bucket of shells because I have journeyed that far off course.....




Is it that the goals that I set for myself are unattainable or am I that much of a Matilda mind that I can't stay in one place for too long!!



Ok so here goes for a goal..... I am desperate to get to my goal of some day achieving professional photographer status.....or at least VERY good Amateur!! Giggle Giggle .....



Goal #1: Sit down and read my manual from top to bottom, forward to backwards and again....repeat again!!

(If you know me then you know I never follow directions..... I make up everything as I go along which can be a good thing and a bad thing in its self!!)



Goal #2: Switch from Jpeg to Raw......maybe that might be a leap for me.....but then again taking chances are always a good thing right!!



Ok and lastly I am going to have to follow through with this!! Good luck to me right!! I will just have to pretend that my manual is like a good James Patterson novel....we will get there ;)

Playing Catch up in the Cold

I haven't posted now in two weeks.  I am already bad at blogging ha ha!! This has been such a whirlwind of two weeks time. You just don't even realize how fast time goes by, its scary in a way, makes you wonder why it has to be. I feel as though a lifetime here still isn't long enough.....though the days that I am waiting for something, that is just another story because then it has been a life time that you feel like you have been waiting!! Ha ha!!
