E's 4th Birthday!

This weekend we celebrated E's 4th birthday!  Auntie Michele is so good at DIY parties and this Agent Oso one was no exception.  She's insanely creative and I wish I could think of half the stuff she does for her kids' parties.  Anyhoo...I was able to capture it all for her.  Buggy had a blast playing with her E and S (and Daddy!).  :)
Playing in the dirt...before the party even started.
 Don't worry, I ate enough cupcakes for everyone.
Someone taking a picture of me?  That's insane.  I forget what that's like!  Unfortunately the only one E's Daddy caught of me was me taking one of him.  :)
 Here's the sad part- we missed the blowing of the birthday candles.  Seriously.  Right before they started the singing, Bug told us she needed to poop.  So, Daddy and I were in the bathroom with Bug. When we got out, I said, "Where'd the cake go?"  Womp, womp, womp.  So sad.  They already blew it out.  Like I told Auntie Michele- at least Bug didn't poop on your floor.  One negative to potty training- missing out on the good stuff because you're stuck in the bathroom waiting for someone to poop.
 Little S made me so happy.  She smiled for my camera willingly!  I'm not used to that these days.  Normally Bug is busy running away from my camera. So it was nice to have a kid around who has yet to be jaded by picture taking. :) 
 Take a good look at this picture.  It's the ONLY one I got of the birthday boy.  E is always on the move and I'm surprised I even caught this.  There's a lot to do at 4 years old and as E told me, "I'm 4 now.  I'm over 3."  Hmm...because 3 was so boring, right?  Hahaha.
We had a great time and feel really lucky to be a part of all of these celebrations with family and friends.  Thank you so much for having us over, M family!  We've missed you guys!

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
