Late birthday post

As you know, we’ve been moving and busy with the claim from the fire. SO, I haven’t been blogging much this past couple of weeks.

Last Sunday was my birthday. Pat replaced my desktop computer we lost in the fire with a laptop so that from now on when we move, I take my main computer with me.

We also went to Ramstein for the afternoon and walked around the mall.

Then we met with friends at the Kusel castle to check out the Medieval Fest. What fun!

You have dancing prostitutes…

Cute kids….

(this is my friend’s little boy)

Pretty necklaces…

The food smelled heavenly but we passed…trying to save $$ because we knew that we would be eating out lots in the upcoming week (and we DID).

The day almost made up for the loss of my birthday presents we lost in the fire. :(

Seth’s Birthday Party

Wow…I am a little behind with my blogging!  Let’s see about getting caught up.  Somewhat!
September 15th is Seth’s birthday.  I remember 7 years ago, NOT wanting to have this little baby on the anniversary of Sept 11.  I wanted to have him…but NOT that day.  I was thinking if I had actually gone into labor I would have crossed my legs and stood on my head to keep from having him.  ROTF.  Thankfully, Seth wasn’t interested in being born that day.  Nope….he had other plans.  He and the doctor were in cahoots together to prove momma wrong about NOT carrying to my due date.  BECAUSE I DID.  To the day.  That’s okay Seth.  then…..(about a week old)

This year, Seth’s birthday seemed to creep up on us.  With school starting, soccer, Tyler’s work schedule, games, football…etc….I took a look at our schedule and realized that Sunday the 12th was the ONLY time we had available for his “party”.  Off to the bowling alley I went to make sure they were going to have room for us. 

Sorry….I had an hour to make a cake and decorate it.  I’m not that good with how a baked product “looks” but they always taste good…well usually…ROTF….I messed up a CAKE MIX because I was in a hurry.  LOL.








And this is the coveted Bumblebee from Transformers…too bad the movie isn’t mommy approved for a 7 year old to watch….he’d love Bumblebee in the movie. 

Tyler’s 16th Birthday…

Yep!  Yesterday my oldest child turned 16.  That doesn’t seem RIGHT!  He should NOT be 16, going into his 11th grade school year. 
Sigh..kids grow up and get too mouthy, too fast:
Tyler was born at 35 weeks and 5 days of my pregnancy….he was 6lbs and 6 oz 4 weeks early.  He would have been HUMONGO.  He was also 19.75” long  Here are some pix from his first year ending with an ugly scrapbook LO (it was one of the first I ever did, in the time of the STICKER SNEEZE trend):

6 weeks old…taken over the side of the crib.

3 months old….taken the day I decided to quit nursing him.  :(

4.5 months old

5.5 months old-those red overalls were my FAVE on him at this age!
 
6 months old…the age when he began to wear clothing double his age…this is a 12 months outfit.

The next few pictures were taken today…the day after his birthday.  I helped him cut his newest creative hairstyle…he likes to be creative with his image. 


(hmmph…don’t smile Tyler, it might crack your face.)




The kid DOES smile….just not AT the camera.  He’s brought back memories of the 80’s…and middle school…shudder…LOL. 
Now don’t have a heart attack…I made my son a card.  Yeah…I hate making cards…but he’s special.
