Our Family Keeping In Touch

This last week was one I could forget.

Not only did my printer go down I almost cut my finger off. If you arent on facebook all the time then you might have not gotten the update. Lets start from the beginning. I had a decent amount of orders coming in last week. Yay me! Then on Wednesday night non of my new printer ink cartidges were working. And I mean not just one I tried 4, yes 4 new ones. I figured it was the crappy ink I bought from someone on ebay. No big deal I can get a full refund. Then after talking to the hubby, we decided that maybe it was also time to get a new printer, because even the last store bought ink I used went pretty quick. So Thursday we looked, couldnt decided as we wanted to do more reasearch.

So in the meantime on Friday I got replacement ink for my mothers which was only $36 versus the $60 something I would have had to pay for mine. I would rather put most of that cost to a new printer. Needless to say I had a bunch of REALTOR showings and just couldnt get to my printing until Friday night. Then as I started working, I opened up the new ink and UGH!!! it was already opened and used. STUPID Walgreens! So I had to make another trip out to exchange it. Got home and loaded up the printer and it wouldnt load right. Took us an hour and a half to get it working. Ridiculous! So it is now almost 11pm. I had more showings the next morning so only had time to print everything out and only get started on cutting them out. I then went to bed at midnight.

Woke up at 5am balling my head off. Had a nightmare that my child had just died from a head trauma from swimming. I told everyone it wasnt just a bump and he needed to go to the hospital. No one believed me and he died from it. UGH!! Cried for about an hour and just sat in his room and watched him sleep and made sure he was okay. Then laid in bed another hour as I couldnt get back to sleep. I swear since my child has been born I have had at least a dozen or more dreams like that. My life would be nothing without him and my husband.

So finally back asleep by 7 and then had to get up by 8. Dont you just hate when that happens. So up by 8 got ready and was done way early before my mom was showing up so I thought I would finish cutting the transfers and get them in the mail. But NOOOOO, GOD had other plans. As I was cutting the rotary cutter jumped the ruler and practically cut my finger off. Screamed for David, got our things together including the child who was awakened out of a deep sleep and jumped in the car. That stupid 15 minute drive was HELL!!! All I can say is having a child was a walk in the park compared to the pain I had. And the epidural wasnt my savior. I had actually been overdosed with the epidural so they took me off of it before I could start pushing. All I can say is the last 15 minutes of pushing were without the Epidural as it had fully wore off. Again that 15 minutes of pain was NOTHING compared to that 15 minute drive on Saturday. Anyways finally got there, went right in and they went to work. Needles and blood just dont bother me anymore, but pain. Man anyone who knows me knows I do not like pain. So of course I get nothing for it, just my luck. Although they numbed me up to give me 4 stitches I totally felt two of them, even screamed on the last one, which is right by my nail. UGH UGH UGH!!! So now I was told put neosporin on it and check back in in 2 days and then in 1 week the stitches will come out. No pain medicine then either. Just take Aspirin, Ibuprofen or Tylenol. In all honesty havent needed much of it. Again I dont like pain but even after I had my son I just didnt take much or actually didnt take anything at all.

So after all that I am terrified to cut again, I even bought the saftey cutter so it wont happen again but I just am not ready to get going on it. Even though I need to. Also I still just havent cleaned up the blood splattered room. Yes it is everywhere. That is what scared David the most. There was so much blood.

So that was my fun and exciting week with a super blast of an ending. How was everyone elses?

Davey is totally ready for swimming lessons. We have been wanting to put him in them since last year but every time it is time for sign up we don't really have the money for a week or two and then BAM! it is all filled up. He has been to the pool plenty and can doggy paddle really well. He likes to put his head under if he does it but not by anyone else. He just cant hold his breath under water yet. But as you can see from the video he is definitely ready. I am hoping come this spring or sooner we can get him in a class. So when his cousins come to town (Madison and Lauren) he can go swimming with them. :)

Last Sunday (01/10/10) Davey attended his first MR2 meet with his Daddy. David has wanted to take him for so long. However I refused because I just didn't think it was safe to let a child ride in a 2 seater sports car. Davey is now in a booster seat and no longer uses the baby seat belt, but now uses a real seat belt. So I gave it a little more thought this time when I was asked my monthly question. Yes monthly. David goes every 2nd Sunday of the month and has been asking to take Davey since, well since he was practically born. So as you can see from the pictures I did let him go. I was a nervous Nelly the whole time but they did make it home in one piece.

This is the line up of MR2's. From what I can see ours is the third one in from the left. David loves his car, more than me I think at times. :)

David said Davey got a little bored towards the end and sat in the car and played. Nothing new since this is what he does when they are at home and David is working on the car. I cannot even tell you how many times Davey has killed the battery by doing this. He always manages to leave a light on or a door open. HAHAHAHA...sucks for daddy.

So Mario's 3rd Birthday is coming up. I just had to share the invitation I made for him. I make all of the kid's invitations for parties. I sell them online but of course do it for free for family. I think it turned out great! Julia says he was so excited when he saw it. It's so funny too, when Davey saw it he started saying "for Mario?". He is so smart.

Hope all is well with all of you and your family. Leave me a comment sometime. :)

I love you all!

It was so nice out today. I am talking 60 degrees nice. Dont hate, I know most of you are jealous since you have snow. Well because it was so nice I thought Davey could get out of the house for a little bit and ride his new scooter. He got this for his birthday from his/our good friends John, Brandie and Xavier. (thanks again guys). Because it has been so cold outside he pretty much has just been riding it around the house. So today was the test....and he of course passed. He rides it so well.

We went to the park while out riding the scooter around and Daddy kept wanting to ride it. As davey puts it "you're to big DADDY!". So he decided to move it far away from Daddy so he couldnt touch it.

Davey then decided to try to ride on the rocks. What a silly kid. He went no where. But that didnt stop him so he decided to hop with it to get it to go.

Here are some pics of Davey at the park. He is such a ham.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend :)

Can I just say that I love my child sooooooooooo much. His new thing these days is to always tell us "I like you" which means I love you. We have always been very expressive with him when it comes to saying I love you. I am the type of person that can't just know you love me, I need to hear it and often. Everytime I talk on the phone, see you in person, go to bed, wake up, I mean I need to hear it a lot. So with Davey there was no change. And since he talks so much these days he just picked up on it and started saying it. Enjoy.

P.S. to listen to my videos you will need to mute the music player on the right. You can either pause it or click on the speaker icon.

Well it is the beginning of a new year and so far so good. Of course we are only into day 4 but hey it seems to be good. I hope everyone had a good and safe Holiday season. My mother and I went to play Bingo on New Year's Eve, like we have for the last 3 years in a row. This year we were joined by some good friends, Kayla and her husband Kevin. We have been going for 3 years like I said but have yet to win. :( However it is a blast to go and is a safe way to spend the evening. Too bad my hubby cannot come, he stays home with the child. Thanks babe! Here are some pics of us that night.








Davey is so silly these days. He talks more than ever and even clearer than ever. He is a huge, and I mean huge, fan of tatoos. On him that is. I don't know what it is but he loves them. I can honestly say we have started a little collection of them for him. This one was one I just found in a scrapbook drawer of mine and knew he would love to have it. Especially since it is Donald. (He is a huge Disney fan) I put this on him on Wednesday. He still has it today. Goob!







I also wanted to note that I changed the blog up a little bit. To the right you will see pictures, more, YAY!! I will add to it all the time. This is a huge time saver since a post takes forever to load only a couple of pics. I also now have MUSIC!! Stole the idea from my cousin Angie, thanks :)


On another note, I need more followers! I want to know that I am doing this for a reason. Thanks Shan for being my first. Love you.


More to come later. Love you all.
