Just the start of a Manic Monday

Yerp its just going to be one of those days.....

Its just me..... Portrait of a young Mother

I decided to slap on some make-up and do a few self portraits this afternoon while Mr A took a nap. I get in that mood everyonce in a while when i like to actually take photos of myself...lol

This is the one that actually came out good to me. and its a tad different than my usual self photos. So like I said earlier My mom took the girls to the movies so its just been Mr A and I well Mr Deputy too but up until 2pm he was sleeping and then he got ready for work and bolted out the door.

Mr A and I took a trip to The Dollar Tree and got some shave cream, glider planes, Play doh and a toy truck for him. On the way home he said he was hungry for a taco...lol so a stop at taco bell it was for 2 tacos and some pink lemonade. I love having mommy son time with him. When its just him { well for that matter when any of the kids get one on one time } its just a blast and so easy going.

At first Mr A really didnt know what to think of the shave cream...lol then he got into.. { Note to self: dont go to the bathroom when in the middle of shave cream play..... } He got so much into it towards the end that i had to stop him from putting ALL his toys in the SC... Needless to say his firetruck, dinosaur, new truck and wooden train had to take a bath....

This is what happened to the truck...lol So all in all today was a fantastic mommy son day. Now i am just waiting on the girls to come home so we can get dinner done and baths and get ready for the school day tomorrow. Weekends seem to fly by quickly now that its the school year. there is never enough time.....


Happy Sunday Evening!

Night One No Diapers/Simply Sunday

So Last night was Mr A's first night without a diaper sleeping in his bed. It went really well!! I got him up about 1:45am and took him to go potty one last time before i headed to bed. and he pee's and went right back to sleep. Mr Deputy said that he pee'd the bed at about 5am when he was trying to get out of bed he had a accident. But hey its a work in progress I think he did pretty darn good!

I stopped giving him drinks at about 5:45pm lastnight. I think that helped with him not having any accidents. So today as a reward he is having some mommy time and I am going to be taking him to the park ;) the girls went with my mom to the Movies to see Shorts and to do a little shopping and get some  lunch.

Mr Deputy is sleeping for shift tonight. The only other thing that needs to be done today is to get the girls school uniforms washed dried ironed and hung up. which i will be doing through out the day. Hopefully soon i will come up with some kind of good post that isnt all about family life...lol Im sure my life gets pretty darn boring to read.

My external hard drive is still at Mr Deputys co-workers house. I will get it back later this week. He said its completely recoverable and he will fix my computer too. Thank Goodness because I have 15 chapters of the book i was writing that didnt get transfered or backed up yet when all the Facebook crap happened.

Well I am sure i will be back later with some photos to share and stories on how our Simply Sunday went :P Have a relaxing day!

The Potty Diaries

So Mr A is on  his first official night of sleeping in bed without a diaper. I am sure that i will be cleaning up pee in the middle of the night. I hope not but Im not all that hopeful... He hasnt had any accidents all day which is good. Its a step further in completing a huge milestone and a step closer to getting Mr A into Preschool. Monday i have a tour scheduled for Merryhill which is literally 500 feet down the street.

I also am getting the paperwork done for Mr A to be evaluated by the speech therapist in Oct when he turns 3 so we can get that all started. I am determined to have him ahead of the game so he doesnt have any struggles like Miss O is having. So things are coming along good for my little man. Its hard to believe that he will be 3 soon. Kinda bittersweet.

Ive decided against having a party again this year for him. I'd rather spend the party money on a good gift for him and start the christmas shopping for all 5 of the kids early. In fact i am starting next month. I gave myself a budget for each kid and I am going to do the whole Lay away thing and do one or 2 kids each month. So by the time December rolls around all i will need to get is the wrapping paper. Atleast thats the plan... you know how plans almost always seem to be altered.

So Mr A will just have a normal birthday with a cake and presents with just family at the house { Mr Deputy, Myself, Miss C and Miss O} and call it a really simple day. He wont miss not having a huge party. Once he gets alittle older and makes friends etc we will start doing parties for him. :)

So atleast this is a good entry in the Potty Diaries!

Death of the external harddrive

Do you all remember a week or so ago when Facebook was hacked?

Well When all that shit happen i was one of the unlucky ones that had my entire computer system fucked with. It completely messed up my internet router {the little box that allows my husband to have internet access on his laptop, so now we steal internet from our neighbor...lol} its completely fried. and it messed with my computer. It wont turn on and Mr Deputy cant recover it at all.. My hard drive is outta here.

Thank god for my External Harddrive notebook. it has 4000+++++ photos on it of our family, trips to the beach, photoshoots i have done etc etc. We unpluged it and installed it to the laptop to make sure that its ok and all those photos are lost to. NOPE its coruppted. No access is allowed... FUCK FUCK FUCK.

So Mr Deputy is taking it over to one of the other Deputys that use to work for the dept and left to go back to IT work house to see if he can recover it. PLEASE pray that he can. Idont know what i am going to do if i loose alll those precious photos of my kids over the last 4 years.

This is why we should never be so reliant on technology. Or rather i should have backed up my external hard drive notebook onto another one.. so just in case stuff like this happens i am covered. What makes it worse is I have a photography client that is still waiting on her disc of 1st birthday photos of her son.... yea Im sorry Traci if i cant give them to you... I should know soon if he is able to recover them. I hope so...

Im now in the foulest mood ever. I HATE computers and people that send out viruses to screw with others lives for NO REASON.

TGIF {Thank God its Friday}

YAY the end of another Long week at school for the girls! Its progress report time for Miss C at school. She gets one every 3 weeks from her teacher. Her math grade is up one full grade to a B- from a C-. So looks like Sylvan Learning Centers are helping her somewhat. Last Night we watched Last House on the Left. To me it was a dissapointing movie.

It really didnt go into any great details and I think that they could have and should have done a better more indepth job with it. It was good and slighlty disturbing but I wanted more from it. I expected the "abductors" to be tortured more than they were. Quick and easy death is not the way i wanted their lives to go.

Guess I am a little sadistic in that way but hell i probably would do the same if it was one of my daughters. If Im not mistaken it was based on a true story.... Today Halloween II came out... I SOOOO want to see that. Merely because i love Rob Zombies movie style. But reluctantly i will have to wait until it comes out on DVD.....

I have no clue what is in store for this weekend. Probably not much of anything really just romping around the house. I was thinking about taking Miss O to get her Birthday photo done. Not sure yet wether i am going to or not. Most likely not since i will spend a small fortune... hehe.

So Miss O is starting to do ALOT better in her speech. Her comprehension is still low and hopefully as the year goes on she will progress more and not have to repeat Kindergarten. Anyway, I must stop this blog here because Mr Deputy Mr A and Miss O are all on the bed getting in my face... grrr

Family.. gotta love them

Moments in time

Today i have to say was a great day. Lately it seems like its been one craptastic day after another so when i get those good days i feel so loved. It was a typical school day for the girls Miss O went this morning to kindergarten Miss C to her 4th grade class, Mr A was home with mommy and daddy. Typical day. Other than schedules being slight disruptive with Daddy being home nap time was a little later than usual.

Mr Deputy and I had a good day. Still having a good day. I am very thankful for that. We have had too many bad days lately that i was starting to get drained and strained and not feeling like myself. and when i am not myself it effects everyone else.

So to have a peaceful day full of laughter was just what i needed. Of course by having laughter made my coughing kick up and made me cough alot so much that you would think i was a smoker...lol So now i sit for a brief moment in time to let you all into my life a little more.

Tomorrow i am making a point to drag my camera out and take some photos. Ive been slacking; i really have. Its kind of hard not to when life gets ahold of you and spins you around so many times your dizzy...lol Plus my computer is on the crap so i only have Mr Deputy's laptop to play on.

Stupid Viruses.

Threads of Life

Each Relationship you form in life wether it is a relationship with Love, Friendship or Parenting you have a thread for that relationship. As years go on that thread can begin to show signs of weakening, it is up to you to either cut that thread and end the relationship or to rebuild that thread and make the relationship stronger and even more bonded.

Our Strongest bonds { atleast in my opinion} are the bonds we form with our children. They are there to love us unconditionally; we are there to love them unconditionally. There is no stronger thread; bond or relationship.

God has blessed me with the 3 most important people in my life. Miss C Miss O and Mr A. There is nothing i wouldnt do for them. I will love them forever no matter what paths they go down in life. I want nothing but happiness for them. They are the greatest gifts i have ever received.

Other Relationships have to be worked on. Its all about communication, perception and trust. So when one or more of these bonds are broken There is weakening in the relationship thread. Leaving you to feel unsterdy and uncertain of what tomorrow brings. Im sure this post isnt really making sense to anyone other than myself.

Silent Sunday

Never Underestimate

The Will power of a sick 2 year old. Even though The Human Heater didnt come to life tonight { to which i am very very thankful } Mr A is still very much sickly. Here it is Midnight and i am sitting here working on crocheting a blanket and watching some Dumb movie called Make It Happen on MTV. and He awakes screaming coming into the living room yelling at me to get him a drink. Get him a drink get him a drinnnnnnnnnnk.

So of course i do... i mean that wouldnt be nice of me to not give the little king a drink after demanding that his Mommy Maid get him one...hahaha Ok drink down, Now he wants to eat.... ok one peanut butter and jelly sandwhich later he wants a clean pull up because he pee'd and now refuses to sit in any pee diapers. ok One fresh pullup later and a pair of spongebob jammies and he is good to go. He wants Harry { Yep Harry Potter } So we grab it and head back to his room.


Once potter is on and I cover him up kiss his forehead and give him a hug and go to Miss O's bed to cover her up and give her a kiss { she is passed out } He say Momma LAY DOWN, Mr A I dont want to lay down..

YES MOMMA Git u Pillow and LAY DOWN.

No sir i do not want to lay down with you. i want to go in the living room and watch some TV......

ahhhhhhhhh Kids.

The Case of the Human Heater & Squishy Momma Belly

"Momma" Mr A Cried

"What Baby? Whats the matter?" Mrs Deputy Responded

After all she knew what was the matter. Mr A wasnt feeling well and just knew that she was done doing the little cleaning she had the energy to start but not finish.

"I cold momma, you sit down" Mr A whined

"yes baby momma sit down with you." Mrs Deputy said

At that was that She spent the next 4 hours laying on the couch with the Human Heater {yes thats what we call  Mr A when he has a high temp} body wrapped around my thigh with his head resting on the squishy mommy belly. you know the place he always goes when he is hurt and not feeling well. Its always the Squishy Mommy Belly; always. I really dont mind especially since that is his belly he gave my that belly ;)

So after 4 hours of laying on the couch the Human Heater started to cool down {with the help of some motrin} and I was so happy that i could finally pry him off of me and take a cold shower because now my body seemed to suck in all of his heat. The Fever broke long enough for Mr A to play alittle and eat some and drink alot. One thing i am grateful for is Mr A's obsessive drinking. He drinks ALOT even when he isnt sick so for him to not break that habit and refuse to drink is wonderful because i dont have to worry about him dehydrating.

About 7pm the Human Heater came back to life. and once again the squishy mommy belly was stuck on the couch with alittle boy wrapped around her thigh and head in the same position it was in for that 4 hour span earlier in the day. Luckily though it gave me a excuse to rest and take a nap too; and my luck got even better when Miss C and Miss O also took a nap.

I had some energy yesterday that could have gone to good use in getting the germs out of the house and cleaning up the mess that has just sat there for the better part of the week since Ive been sick and Mr Deputy has been working nonstop. Instead my energy went to the best little person ever and once again the squishy mommy belly saved the day.

The Deputy House is Sick

So everyone at our house is sick with the exception of Mr Deputy. He has yet to come down with this god aweful Flu that has plagued our house. This is the first day i have been able to sit up long enough to get on the computer. So i figured i would write.

It all started on Monday when Miss O complained that her ears hurt so i took her in and she had the start to a ear infection. Monday night I started not feeling well at all High fevers massive headache running nose and chest congestion that has made me been taking puffs on my asthma inhaler, Tuesday Miss C started not feeling well with all the same symptoms i have. I called Mr Deputy to come home early on tueday because i just couldnt function at all.

Miss O and Miss C went back to school on Wednesday. Miss O is feeling alot better although she is easily drained. Miss C made it almost all the way through the school day but came home early. So in the middle  of another round of High fevers for me lastnight Mr A started puking and has had a High fever ever since. Miss C stayed home from school today since she started puking as well lastnight and the puking started for me this morning.

I seem to be fine up until about 7 at night when the fever wants to come back and i am just not able to function. So thats where my family has been at. Stuck at home with the flu or whatever the hell this is.

The Potty Diaries

So Potty Training Mr A is having its major ups and downs. Some days go really well and he has no accidents at all and other days {today being one of them} he is peeing him self left and right. These are the days i just want to give up and run screaming from him. I know he is still learning and it takes time to get it down.

I guess its just since Miss O is sick and whinny her self having him pee every 10 minutes in a new clean pair of underwear is driving me nuts. add to the fact that i now have to rewash his sheets since he pee'd the bed at nap time.

Doesn't he look so cute laying like that? Yea He is awefully cute while he sleeps. Today while we were at the dr and Miss O wanted nothing more than to cuddle on my lap in the waiting room Mr A took it upon himself to run around causing a muck in the waiting room. He is sooo hard to take places where i need him to behave. thats why i love taking him to the park. he can be free like the little animal he is...lol

So Mr Deputy is at work he works pretty much everyday this week. He has fair duty; something that we usually go see him at work each year but the girls are in school :( and he isnt working a weekend shift for us to go and meet him.

Plus this is his long week/end. you know the ones  he works 4 12s in the week. So Im not getting any type of help or break for the next 10 days {including yesterday}. Joy I should be nice and frizzled out by next wednesday...lol

and its only noon{ Manic Mondays}

So its already been a busy bee morning. Miss O woke up this morning feeling completely shitty and saying her ear hurts. So i kept her home from school and took her into Kiaser. I learned 3 things this morning.

1) Miss O has a high pain tolerance; apparently {according to the Ped} her ear infection has been brewing in there for atleast a week. She just now this morning started complaining about it. He said more than likely the pressure popped and allowed her to feel it now. So she is on Antibiotics for 5 days.

2) I really really dislike Kiaser. Well for myself that is. its like pulling teeth to get anywhere when it comes to the adult medicine. BUT their Pediatric Doctors ROCK. seriously they are on the ball when it comes to the kids and making sure that all areas are looked at when it comes to concerns.

and this is the bad mom moment for the day:

3) I learned that Mr A is affraid of elevators. He screamed and cried each time we needed to go into it today at the hospital. he would yell out Momma I falling No momma I fallllling I wan outttttttttttttt. So why is it a bad mom moment you ask.. simply because when rubbing his bald little head in comfort as he buried his face in my leg I couldnt help but to laugh. and it wasnt just a chuckle it was a full on laugh. :(

I know its not suppose to be funny but it really is. especially when just last year he LOVED the elevator he would say Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee as it made the "dropping" motion. now he crys.

So now nothing else is planned for the day since Miss O is sick; well except Miss C's session at tutoring. Im sure another post will come.

What is today going to bring?

Today is Sunday, So it should be a simple and relaxing day. I am going to try to get Miss O a appt to have her photos taken {remember i dont do them myself} for her 5th birthday. Plus i get the kids photos done each year on their birthday at Picture People its a tradition.

I know that some might say why not just do them yourself after all you have a photography business. Well its simple, I just cant do my childrens photos. It doesnt work out for me. They listen and give their personality to others just not mom...lol

So Why struggle when i can get it done easier by letting some one else do it. Plus i lack the creativity with my own children in photographs that i have with others children.

Anyway, so thats the plan. well that and to do laundry that i lacked on this past week, go for a walk this evening and get the girls ready for school in the morning!

I want to say Happy Birthday to Eric today he is 4 his momma has the Thomas Family Remembers blog.. Well Im off to start the day. I am sure i will blog later!

As you all know i am Battling my Weight. I decided to start blogging about it and keeping a journal. If you would like to follow my Journey Please feel free to:

Houston, we are about to get busy

So as you all know Miss C have her tutoring 3 days a week now. Well now starting next thursday both the girls will also have gymnastics class. and I am looking for a activity on tuesdays to do with them as well. I want to fill their week up with activities to keep them busy and eliminate those bored little faces at home. Because lets face it. Its hard to keep 3 children entertained.

Mr A will start kinder gym 3 days a week in the morning time while the girls are at school. Its something that he and I can do together. Plus it gives him soem time to play with other children his age. Once he turns 3 and i can get him to complete his potty training i am putting him in Preschool. I will find a way. I have been working with him on his site words, shapes , numbers and colors. he is starting to get alittle of it down. He sure does know what a circle is...lol except he calls it a moon.

He is also going to be evaluated by the speech therapist as well. Just so that we catch all things early unlike with Miss O. In hopes that he has a easier time with school. When i work with Miss O on her books etc Mr A is around usually being disruptive but i think he actually pays attention. Well atleast some of the time.

So Mr Deputy goes back to work tomorrow after being off for a week when his two children W&M came down to spend some time before summer Vacation ends. I love the man to death but WOW i am soo ready for him to be at work again...lol Dont get me wrong i love our time together i just am the type of person that also needs my personal space and this last week with him home 24/7 and having all 5 of our kids here I did not get any of my personal space time.

I dont know what is on the adgenda for today. probably lazy cleaning day. I need to go through Miss O's old clothes. I should clean the kitchen..... who knows what will actually get accomplished though...lol

Frizzled Friday

Look Momma I can run.. So Mr A Screams the words as he is running around the waterpark this afternoon.

Miss C and Miss O got out of school early today since its track change day. Wait how can that be they havent even been in school a full 30 days. lol

This year round is confusing sometimes... non the less my girls are still on track until October. :) Anyway off the subject at hand.. Before Miss C had to go to her Tutoring we decided to take the 3 kids to the park and let them have fun.

They all got to get wet and cool off in the heat that is called August. I love love love summer dont get me wrong but being over weight like i am has made it to where i cant tolerate the heat very much. I have lost 24lbs out of the 90 i am trying to get off. so its a good start :)

I am also going to be signing he girls up for gymnastics. they will go once a week for now until their skill level improves. Thats if  Miss C likes it. I know Miss O will. Miss C takes her test class next thursday :)

Anyway so here i am waiting a couple people to show up that want to look at the waterslide i put up for sale. whats the point of having it in an apartment...lol

and I am waiting for Miss C to be done at her tutoring center so i can pick her up... Today has been a Frizzled Friday.... what Frizzled means i dont know...lol Its just stuck in my head.

Thoughtful Thursday

So today I for thoughtful Thursday I have a test for you all to try...

Go HERE........ Think about it.. How is it possible to know that. I sat here and tried several different ways to do it and they got it right 9 out of 10 times....lol

Education = Priority

So Education is a priority in our house. I want my children to do good in school. So that means making sacrifices for their education. We are on week 4 of  school for our house. Things are running smoothly. I have 2 girls that are getting the help they need to further suceed.

Miss C is doing the Sylvan thing which starts this afternoon and Miss O is getting her speech therapy. Things are tough for Miss O they really are. Just watching Mr Deputy and her doing homework breaks my heart. She barely got through the second page and needed a break. We are talking just writing out letters. :( my baby girl is going to struggle in school i just know it. Nothing like Miss C, she picks things up quickly, she is in essence the prodigal child. Without all the pressure.

I am seriously thinking about going back to school. I want to set a excellent example for my children and what better way to do that than by furthering my education while then are developing theirs. I just dont want to start school and have to stop like when Miss C was a baby. Miss C got bronchitis as a baby and i couldnt take her to daycare so i was absent 4 days which was a violation of the program i was in at Western Career College and I was taken out of the program with 12 units to go for graduation with my AA in Medical Billing and Coding.

So before i start the ultimate journey again through school i have to really make sure that it can happen and go on without any mishaps. Probably once Mr A gets in school. Hopefully. I cant be educationless forever.

Wordless Wednesday: Yes Even at the Zoo

Miss C's New Room

I decided that since Miss C is now in the 4th grade, she deserved a new more hip young adult room. So we went with polka dot theme...

{ side note: excuse the drawings on the walls and dresser. I have to Magic erase them}

So here is view A of her room

View B of her room and her new study area

View C Her curtains. the only Polka dot ones i could find that semi match atleast they are the right colors.

View D her Mirro and Dresser and polka dotty wall...lol

Better View of the curtains

and another view of her bed... She really likes her new room. She even gets a lock on her door. So she can lock it when home and doing her homework and we can lock it when she is at school or at grandmas for the weekend.

{this is mostly to prevent Miss O and Mr A from going in and messing her room all up.} Mr Deputy and I each have a Key. She hasnt earned the role of key holder yet :)

Tasty Tuesday

Ok well this is a BLT Roll up { sue me i couldnt find a turkey roll up...lol} But for Tasty Tuesday i am writing about Turkey Roll-ups. Well any kind of Roll-ups for that matter. They are a huge hit in our house and its a great way for me to sneak in some foods that Mr A wouldnt normally eat. Miss C and Miss O really love them as well. Here is the new favorite in our house: Turkey & Humis Roll-up Ingrediants: 2 Fajita sized Whole Wheat Tortillas Humis {plain or your fav flavor} Turkey { deli meat, lunch meat shredded chose your fancy} Leafy green of your choice { I use Spinach} So now you take the Tortillas and spread about 2tablespoons of Humis around on them. Take Turkey and place ontop of humis and then add a few leaves of greens {spinach in my case} Roll up and cut in half and serve. I serve these to the kids with Veggie fry chips. We get them at costco they are sweet potatoe, beet and spinach chips that look like fries... :) Miss C loves taking these for her lunch as well. When pack them in her school lunch i dont use humis i use a little bit of cream cheese for her. Gives her a nice easy fun and new way to eat. What i love about Roll-ups is you can use ANYTHING for the filling. I havent had a roll up yet that hasnt been a hit with my kids and my self. Have a Tasty Tuesday!

Nights Alone

Ive been asked alot by non police wives : How do you sleep at night knowing your husband is out there?

Well, let me tell you; when Mr Deputy and I first got together nights were easy. We lived in a house not only with my 2 daughters and his son but His sister and her now husband, So i was never alone. { iam still technically never alone since the kids are here..lol} I had P and C to talk to during the night until i was tired and went to bed. It wasnt until after they moved out that things were rough on me.

Once i was in the house alone with just the kids the  nights started getting harder on me. One because we use to live in the ghetto and i was scared of someone breaking in and killing/raping/torturing me and my children. It was a constant stream of fear for me. At the begining a never really had the fear of something happening to Mr Deputy; I had that "he wont get hurt he is invinsible" thing going on.

Last year on June 15th I got a fat reality check off that one. Mr Deputys Partner was killed and i realized JUST how close it came to being Mr Deputy. Since we had moved into a better neighborhood my fears had pretty much gone away until that night. After that I didnt sleep at night for 3 months.  I pretty much begged Mr Deputy to find a way to stay home after he finally went back. When he couldnt call in anymore and had to return to work I did my best to put on my confident face and kiss him good bye and let him actually go out the door. Once he was gone though it was a whole other story.

The first few weeks i would actually put both Mr A and Miss O in bed with me. i needed that comfort of my children there with me. Although i never slept; after they would pass out i would get up and browse the internet until 3-4 in the morning when i knew it would be close to Mr Deputy coming home. I have to admit that Mr Deputy must have sensed my uneasyness because he would text me alot during the night. Just simple Hi, whatcha doing type texts... you know the kinds that when you read between the lines say: " I know your worried about me and I dont want you to worry and i am alright and I love you" So that eased things a little.

I had the support of a few close friends that didnt mind me keeping them up late at night :) to them i am truly grateful. and I found Support sites. It was nice to know that there were other woman { and a few males} out there that understand everything that goes into the Law Enforcement lifestyle.

So I guess to answer peoples questions i would say that; I make it through the night by having the confidence in knowing that Mr Deputy does his best to stay safe while out there; He has proper training with his job. I have the confidence in knowing that he is out their protecting others all the while waiting to come home to his family. I have the confidence in knowing that i have support from close friends and Spouses of Law Enforcement sites. I pray to god each night that Mr Deputy and his shift stay safe. and I have Faith that when i lay down to go to sleep i wont be woken up because its "the night" that something terrible happens to Mr Deputy.

Am i totally convienced that everything will be ok all the time. No i am not. I still have the fear but i have learned that if you let the fear consume you you will never be able to function a daily life while he is on shift. Its all a balance of keeping busy and praying that you dont get that knock on the door.

Miss O's Birthday Fun

So Miss O is officially 5 today and she had her party on her actual birthday this year...lol

We did it at Laguna's Awesome Party Palace. Best decision ever. We got there and played in the Bounce room for a hour and a half. It was just everyone from her party in there. and then the last hour was the cake and presents in the party room.

They handled everything. It was perfect and the stress wasnt there. It allowed me to enjoy her birthday party instead of running around wondering what was missing etc. Olivia had a BLAST on the Huge slide ^.

WHen it was time to go into the party room she got to wear her crown she insisted on having from Party City...lol she looked oh so cute though. She got alot of barbie stuff and some educational stuff too. Gotta love having a teacher as a friend :)

She really cracks me up.. She was soo loving the fact that it was her birthday and she got cake and persents...


Me on the other hand, My baby girl is growing up and its hard to think that we really only have a few fun birthdays like this left before she is just wanting to hang out with friends and not be around her parents etc...lol

It was really nice that Mr Deputys Aunts and cousin came to her party we havent seen them since Great Grandma's Funeral. It was nice to see them on a postitive note.

So i leave you with Miss O and her cake. She loved her Hannah Montana Cake!

A huge thank you to everyone that came today. I really appreciate you all coming all this way out here for Miss O. She really enjoyed celebrating her birthday with you all.

Today was a fantastic day and look its not even 9pm and all the kids are PASSED out! Score
