Mah Birfday

We celebrated my birthday Monday. 
 
It was.....um....different then years past.
 
I was home with the kids all day.  I guess they didn't get the birthday memo because they were being less than adorable for me.
 
We went to dinner with my family where my Mom was over an hour late, my grandmother and nephew were fighting and the kids were throwing tantrums.
 
It was a bit of a disaster.
 
At least we got some cute pictures!
 
But we went back to my parents house and had some cake.  Ashlyn was so excited about it being my birthday but she swore it was her birthday too.  She sang to me but I think she was really singing to herself!  She blew out one of the candles too.
 
Then we watched the kids pretty much go crazy from all of the sugar. 
 
Then we went home and got the kids to bed.  We sat on our front porch with a drink and that was that.
 
It certainly was not a perfect day.  But is any day really perfect? 
 
We still had fun and got to spend time as a family and that's all I really wanted.
 
We will be having a small party on Saturday for myself and my person.  Our birthdays are so close together that we are just inviting some close friends and family to celebrate with us.
 
I'm looking forward it!
 
The best part of my birthday???
I got my Colson necklace.
 
I ordered this necklace weeks ago.  I must have emailed the woman from Etsy 3 or 4 times asking where it was and why it was taking so long.  In reality, it wasn't taking that long, I was just being impatient, as usual.
 
And when I opened up the mailbox, on my birthday, I knew what was in there.
 
 
My necklace for Colson.  I love it so much.  I don't even know how to describe how I felt when I opened that box.
 
Always in heart, sweet boy.

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
