Chuck E. Cheese

Went to Chuck E. Cheese's the other day. Had a blast. Here are some pics from that day.

Lily's finally 1!

Lily's officially 1 year old today! Happy brithday to my big girl! She got her shots today, and wasn't too thrilled about it. She's still not 100%, but she's getting there. Other than that not too much has been going on. We finally got Eoghan's ultrasounds scanned. Woohoo! Now I can put them into his scrapbook!

Lily's 1st birthday party!!

Yesterday was Lily's birthday party! It was a pretty good turn out. Lily got her first tastes of cake and chocolate! She didn't seem terribly excited about eating the cake...I'd say she enjoyed destroying it more than anything. And the chocolate ice cream wasn't exactly her favorite...she preferred the cone. Lily got a lot of super awesome gifts which she can't wait to play with...Jim is downstairs right now putting together her wagon! We got home from the party last night, and Lily crashed. We had to put her to bed early. She had a busy night though, so it was ok. Now I've got a gynormous mess to clean today. What's new!? Well, I think that's it for now. Later taters.

Thanks to everyone who helped us out yesterday. I really appreciate it!

birthday party preparations.

Today has been so busy! I baked 50 cupcakes, frosted and decorated them, then baked and decorated Lily's birthday cake, wrapped Lily's b-day present, wrapped Jeremy's b-day present, and now I'm taking a break. I just need to clean up again downstairs. Ooofta. I'm just about ready for tomorrow. Gotta keep my fingers crossed and hope it doesn't rain. Stupid rain. Thanks to Tareesa for being back up in case it does though.

Tomorrow is going to be so hectic. I have a nice list going of things I need to do...and it's still growing. I'm so excited though. Lily's going to have a blast.

Oh it's so awesome, she's walking everywhere. She's not crawling very often at all anymore. She's so good at it too! As cool as it is, it's sad too. My little baby is growing up! *sniffle* I can't believe it's already been a year! Boy did that fly by. I know that the next 17 years will too. Freaky...I'm going to be old! o_O Well, I think that's it. Time to get on the dishes. Later tater.

Baby kicks.

Felt the baby move again this morning. On the right side this time, that's a first. It's really exciting for me to feel him moving around in there. Reminds me that I'm pregnant. Yes, sometimes I forget. I'm not as big as a house yet, and Lily keeps me busy. I'm so excited for the next 4 months! Our ultrasound is on Tuesday (6-6-06, kinda funny) and we'll find out for sure what's growing inside of me. Is it Eoghan or Lacey? That's right, I said Lacey! And I can't wait to be a big preggo that waddles everywhere I go...that was so fun! I'm excited to take tons of belly pictures to compensate for the ones we lost. And we can't forget that the state fair is coming up! I get my wish, to be pregnant during it!! Thanks Jimmy! Plus, I'm really anxious to see how Lily is with the baby. Will she love and hug it, or resent it? *shrug* Well, that's all. Better go do some stuff.

Birthday craziness.

We've been trying to figure out what we're going to do for Lily's birthday. Let me tell you, it hasn't been an easy task. Now, after just about an entire day of ideas, mind changing, what if's, and hair pulling, we've finally got it down. Only 10 days until the day...let's hope that people get their invites in time!

In other news, Lily's now walking all by herself. That's right, no more of us standing her up so she can walk...now she stands up by herself (without any help from a table or any other tools) and walks around. It's so awesome!!! I think she really likes that she can do it herself. When we came up here to do our "computer time" thing, she stood up in the hallway and walked to the doorway. She stopped when she saw me, backed up and played a little game of peek-a-boo. When she got her fill, she charged in here giggling like a little freak. *sigh* I love her so much. I think it sometimes freaks me out just a bit though, that we're starting all over. The new baby won't be able to walk, or hold it's bottle, or talk. Or maybe it will!? How cool would that be. I mean, we are 1 for 1 with genius babies. It could happen.

Well, I think that's about it. Time to go into maid mode. Wish me luck.
