It's only Tuesday....

This week needs to hurry up and END!

You either have to be a complete crack head, jobless and taking advantage of the system to get a break at Children's Medical Center when trying to pay your OUTRAGES bill that was racked up in less than a 24 hour time frame!  After listening to a lady tell me their "policy" I had to ask, "can I call you back tomorrow and start our convo over with you.  I will tell you that I am a loser, I spend all my money on drugs and can't pay you, but I can probably afford to give you $25.00.  Will that be ok.....GREAT!  UGH!

I got addicted to ancestry.com this week.  I had to take a break from it today.  I kept dreaming of Census records all night.  I tracked one side of my family back to the 1700's and found some pretty sad stories.  My 3rd great grandmother was kidnapped by Indians after they killed her family.  Sold to a rich family who treated her like a slave and then saved by a man who married her and gave her the world!  Mary Todd Lincoln(Abraham Lincoln's wife) was my 3rd great grandmother's sister!

It has been super cold and yucky out

On a better and brighter note....I love this little guy!

Happy Birthday My Love

Cody's birthday isn't till tomorrow (Sunday) but we celebrated tonight!  We have been busy all weekend with the expo and tonight was the perfect night to celebrate.  I had to pick up Cody's cake yesterday so it had been staring us down!  We usually start J Bear's bedtime routine about 6:30 and he is out by 7:30 but he has had a busy day too.  We had to get up at 7:00 to go man the booth at the expo while Cody finished working deer.  Cody joined us about 11:00.  Jones was SOOO good the past 2 days.  I  went up Friday to stop by to visit with Cody and J was so good we ended up staying all day!  Today he wouldn't nap very good up there so we came home around 1:00 so he could get a good nap in and then head back up till the expo closed.  He ended up taking a 4 hour nap...2-6!  So we met Cody for dinner and came home.  Since little man was well rested and in such a good mood and going to bed later, Jones wanted to throw Cody a birthday party tonight!:) 

When we got home Cody had to run to the deer pens so J had a quick bath and we set up.  Daddy was surprised!  I started taking pictures and Jones started laughing so hard!  Best Birthday Present EVER!  It was his first full on laugh out loud!  He got so tickled at the flash I just kept taking his picture.  I think I ended up with 50 pictures!  I so wish I had gotten the video camera, but then there would have been no flash to laugh at so it worked out great!  Were were laughing so hard we were crying when it was over.

In all the pics Jones' hair looks SO red!  I guess it was Cody's yellow shirt.  The cake was yummy, the strawberries were yummy and Jones picked out the adorable decorations!  All in all it was a great birthday celebration!  Happy 29th birthday, Cody!  We love you so much.  So glad your my husband and so glad your Jones' daddy.  Hope you have the best birthday ever My Love!

Basketball Jones

Basketball has taken over in this house.  We have filled out our brackets....I'm sure I will win again this year:)  I put Jones in his bouncy chair today to try to get some stuff done around the house.  He was GLUED to basketball again.  He fussed during commercials:)  Let's just say I got a lot done today!  He is JUST like his daddy!

3 Months

You are such a good  baby

Still loving momma's milk

You had your first trip to Texas!

Had your first trip to the hospital because you got sick:(

Went spotlightng for the first time with Daddy...you got a porkypine:)

Sleeping 9-12 hours straight at night

You love sitting on the back porch and staring at the dogs

You try to talk back to us when we talk to you

You have mastered swimming in the tub:)

You enjoy laying on our bed during the day with your pacifier when you are tired, sometimes you have conversations with the deer picture in our room.  I try to record you, but I can't sneak up on you!

I pray time will SLOW down
