Jakes Birthday

I took him out to Breakfast on SAT am, then to his game. We had a good breakfast, just the two of us ( Alec joined us for a moment, when I had to have him bring me my debit card which had been left in his wallet) . Here is a picture of us before we went to Breakfast. ( Look at how much taller he is than me)

Then We went to His Game, he had a great hit deep to left field, he got a double off of it, here he is on Second base after it. Look at the size difference between him and the kid playing Second.

I had to go to work at 12, then Jake and his friends went to Godfathers and had pizza, They came back to the house and played basketball all night long ( Lynette saw them out there at 10:30 still, I pulled them in at 11pm.)

and that was about it. he had a good couple of days. the basketball hoop was what he bought with his birthday Money from family. Yeah for him!

Happy Birthday Jake!

He is 14!! how crazy that is. Tomorrow we will celebrate his big day, But This AM he woke up to this. I cant let my sons birthday go by with out some sort of cake! HE will come home to ballons too.

Random thoughts

I made a fun new game for SAM last night. ITs not new, per say, but it is to him. There are these CARS scrapbook papers and I wondered what to do with it, It has all the different cars on it. So I got two sheets and cut out all the different cars, and laminated them all, and then mounted them on chipboard. the gave them to SAM and we played the memory game all day long! ( I heard Scott played a lot tonight too). He loved it, and he did so well, it was so fun watching him think , and hesitate when he thought he knew where something was, but wasnt sure.

For all you scrappers out there, that thought about making the Doodlebug naked houses ( or whatever they are called) I got one to make for the graduation ( thinking centerpiece ) and the darn adhesive that comes on the house, DOESNT stick.. I will be emailing Doodlebug to let them know this, and that I dont think I should have to tape it closed on the inside. So far, I have only completed the roof, These are very cute little items, I must tell you . When the graduation house is completed, I will post a pic for sure.

Scott took Monday off to spend with SAM.... not me, SAM. He is already in the dog house with me ( and all the girls at work for that matter) For not saying a word about my weight loss... NOT ONE WORD.... even when I called him on it, I got a "WHATEVER" from him.. he says he has said something, But , NO. And then he took Monday off to spend with SAM. Which is great, YEah for them, good father son bonding time.... BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?? He is... well he is something I cant say on this blog, THAT I Will say..

I bought these for myself, and three other ladies at work, To wear on our Aprons...

If I have to explain what this is from, then you wont understand.

Jake will be 14 on Friday!! WOW.. that is just crazy.

Down 50 LBS!!!!

As of yesterday, I have lost 50 lbs! I just have time for a fast post, with Pictures!!!

Staples in his head...

On Friday, Alec got hit in the head with a discus in track. he was leaning over , cleaning up, and tossing them into a pile, a team mate had a stray one, and tossed it his way, towards the pile. Alec stood up into it. His coach saw it happening , and yelled for Alec to Duck, but it was too late. The coach called my cell ( I was at work) and told me what happened, and that he was taking Alec to Urgent care to get some stitches... they used 6 staples instead. He says he is feeling fine, and is out right now with his friends. I will be taking him back to urgent care on EASTER , to get it looked at again, to make sure it is doing well. Then On Monday I am going to make him an appointment with our Doctor.


I left work early today to get to Jakes Baseball game. Here are two pictures that I took, I love the one with the fence, how the Umpire, The Catcher( JAKE) and the batter. are all Framed inside the fence. The other one, I just like the look of concentration on his face. They lost, and his hitting wasnt all that great, But I enjoy watching him no matter what.
















I am pretty sure the EASTER bunny will be coming to our house in the AM, you will have to check back to see if HE/SHE did.

ITS OPENING DAY!!!

I love this day! Opening day for MLB... the start of a new season, everyone is in the same boat, everyone has a chance to Win. I love it!!

The red sox, didnt please me today.. they lost. That is all that I am going to say about that.

I worked today during the day, so I could get to Jake's game tonight, It was FREEZING... I should have taken pictures of everyones portable heaters.. thats right, Portable heaters. Running on Propane. There were four there all together, Four out of Ten parents had portable heaters with them. Have times changed, or what?

It was not Opening day for Jake that was on March 17th. But this was the first game that I got to go to. I was taking pictures before I was even out of the car, I pulled up and saw him running from first to second, So I started clicking away.. It was my first real chance to see what my camera can do, The two pictures of Jake on third, one picture playing third, one picture as the runner, I was behind home plate, That is how awesome my camera is!! JAke had a line drive to deep center, driving in two runs, it was an awesome hit, and it tied the game, I am sure he enjoyed hearing his name being yelled and all the cheering. Alec and His friend Frankie came to see a bit of the game, Jake always enjoys it when his big brother comes to see him.

Work is crazy right now, Poor Crystal who is due on April 25th, and thought she was working till April 14th, had to be put on bed rest today, they may induce her next week. So it kind of threw us all for a loop with the schedule. Next week is going to be INSANE, cause the two owners will be on vacation ( spring break) . I think it will be a long couple of weeks, but we will get thru it.

Sam had kindergarten round up last Friday, he at first, didnt want to go in, didnt want his picture taken, didnt want me to leave him. But he did really well once I left to go into the next room for the parent part of it. He did write his name backwards though.. so he was MAS instead of SAM .

Ok, Head is killing me... bye for now.
