Mother's Day 2007



I hope that your Mother's Day was a joyous one. I was able to spend this Mother's Day with my own mother. We got her a new Digital Camera. It was great to be able to bless her with something that she wanted. The Digital Camera that she was using was slow responding after you clicked and the pictures were dark even with the flash. She needed a new, more up to date one. She helped Edward to make some presents for me. They painted a ceramic bird house, made me a sun catcher and a purse that I can hang around my neck when I go places like the zoo or the park and don't want to lug my purse with me but still need to have my id, credit cards, cash and or passes with me. Very cute and will be very useful. Kirk also took Edward to our local Rec center to make Mother's Day Gifts for me. He painted me a hand towel, lamented hand prints, a card, and a picture frame. I also received a pink bowling ball and a bowling bag (as per my request). I also got roses, a card and a balloon. It was a great day for me. Now it is time for me to get things done for Edward to give to Kirk on Father's Day. We will do that the week right before Father's Day. We are going to make him a t-shirt that Says: Property of my Kid...it will have Edward's hand prints on the front and footprints on the back. We also got him another T-shirt about Dad's and a leather travel dual, foldable picture frame for him to use when he travels. Still need to find a few more things for Kirk plus something special from me for him, after all he is the love of my life and the father of my child....I want him to know that I think he is an awesome Daddy and that I appreciate all he does for Edward.

Nana Comes to Visit

My mom (aka...NANA to Edward) came to visit us for 2 weeks from May 3rd to May 16th. She got to experience our busy daily lives. She was able to enjoy 1 bowling league session with Edward (he bowled a 73 and a 77 that week with his New 8lb Toy Story Bowling Ball...he broke the 6lb ball he got in Feb....he is doing awesome with the 8lb ball...thought it might be to heavy for him but he handles it quite well). She also got to go to his Bowling Awards Ceremony the following Friday with us. He received another trophy, which is now proudly displayed in his bedroom. She also got to see his participate in 2 games of blastball. She also was able to go to 2 of his Kindermusik classes with us. He had one of his 3 birthday parties on the 11th with his Kindermusik pals, so she was there to help out with that. She was also here for his other 2 parties. More on his parties in a later blog post. I hope that she had fun. She helped him to make a couple neat Mother's Day Presents for me. More about Mother's Day in another blog post. LOL!! We of course also enjoyed going to Yoder (a local Amish community) together and we went and saw Georgia Rules together. I personally loved the movie thought it was a good flick. We also visited and she helped me get some things caught up around here...which was a thankful help to me. I already miss her. We plan to go see her in March for her birthday, it had dawned on me that Edward and I haven't ever spent her birthday with her. I thought he would enjoy that.

Disaster Zone

I am not sure how it happens but I can clean the house from top to bottom, then just minutes later it is like a tornado flew through (under radar) the house. I know that in my house, the tornadoes names are Edward, Kirk, Storm, Bear and Sebastian for the most part. I would love for my house to stay clean just for one 24 hour period. That is all I am really asking for. Oh the insanity of it all!!!!!!!!!!!
