WE ARE HAVING.......A.............

I know that you probably could care less about what i write with a title like that because if you're out there you just want to know what it is...I am ecstatic today.

Taylor and I went to the doctor for the sonogram!!!!! This one was great, our first time around with Jax the ultrasound was not so great, that doesnt even cut it, it sucked. A time that should have been fabulous and fantastic for us first time parents was ruined by a ultrasound tec who treated us like crap. She made it impossible for me to see anything she kept the screen turned, and when I attempted to look she told me I was messing her up and to lay back down. She was teaching someone which is what makes it worse. She was more concerned with showing the student, than the first time mom to be who had been anxiously waiting on pins and needles to find out what her little pnut was, looked like, did in her tummy all day, etc. All in all that was a horrible experience, one that I was hopeing would not reoccur this go round, and IT DID NOT! Thank you GOD, you are glorious! GOD put Amanda Green in that office today just for us. I know it!

We arrive, and were brought in. The UTech was as cute as a button, and so completely sweet, she had three kids of her own. When we came in she immediately made us feel at home. U know the typical come in pull your pants down, and your shirt off, and here some KY, feel at home. Taylor and I were already at ease within the first thirty seconds.

Amanda took her time and showed us everything! Head, bone, heart, butt, back of head which baby bubbles was more than happy to show us alot of. She is the most awesomeus ultrasound tech ever she showed us the feet, tummy, and baby bubbles was not so inclined to show us what it was. But Amanda was determined to get that shot no matter how long it took (love her), and several times this momma (who has absolutely no idea what the big blob of goo on the screen was,  thought she saw something, but turned out it was feet).

Well here it is the moment you have all been waiting, and if you cheated and scrolled down, well thats fine too because BABY BUBBLES is a.............

That special time of year

There comes a time every year that is so magical that I absolutely love it!
Im not talking about Christmas, I am undoubtedly a NERD! (notice all caps) but I absolutely love when my son's birthday comes around.
ITS my favorite. Don't get me wrong I love the birth of baby Jesus and celebrating when he rose, but I absolutely love planning and executing my son's birthday!

It was such a special day, the day I met him even threw exhaustion and drugs I knew he was a keeper.
I remember that I never really got to have great thought out birthday parties each year as  a child , and that I LOVE doing it for him.
So what do I have up my sleeve for his birthday party. HE is turning the big 4!
Well last year we did PIRATES! and boy was it a hit. We went to the local gymnastics center and everyone walked to trampoline plank into foam blocks, then ziplined down into another set of foam blocks, made their own swords, and thoroughly had an awesome time. If I do say so myself.
I was torn this year between two categories so I went to the one who would know best...
Little man! and he chose the following:
duh duh duh daaaaaaa
SUPERHERO's Party. There is something about putting on his spiderman/superman/iron man/transformer costumes that just lights him up. And even though they don't have guns little man is always trying to incorporate his ray gun. Which scares off the monsters!

But this is not just any super hero party! This one will be equipped with capes and mask and a super hero training camp. Plus everyone will get their own superhero card (with their picture in a super hero pose). HOW AWESOME!

So I am currently working on this and came across this site SEWPLAINJANE.com where they sell custom capes for Kids 
 
How flipping adorable. and I thought in light of goodie bags what kid wouldnt want their own super hero cape! So I priced it and guess what? TOTALLY Cheaper than goodie bags! I am so stoaked!
 
Next step is to line up the party place, then INVITATIONs, and a guest list, then after that the ideal cake for such a big boy...he is turning 4 and that is huge to him. He is officially a big little boy. I have an idea of what I want and I cant wait to share with you guys until then....
