Happy Birthday Jeffrey!!!

Yeah the big 5. It was so fun to have a party here finally. The brood and house clean up pretty nice. So Jeffrey invited a few friends and then a few extra. He was so happy yet shy. He kept hiding under the table when we wanted to take pictures of him. There were cake and kids everywhere but I would say overall it was a huge success. It was a combo of themes. He originally wanted Kungfu Panda but apparently so did other kids because there were no decorations for that. So we had to go with a Kungfu Panda cake, TMNT, Ratatouille and Trucks. I don't think the kids cared. Oh well here are some pics.

Happy day. I took my boards on Wednesday and I found out today that I passed them. I am officially a Licensed Practical Nurse now. Yahoo! Also today I took my math test (4th time) and passed it too! So today is a good day. It gets better though. Tomorrow we are having Jeffrey's 5th birthday party. He has been wanting to turn 5 for 2 years and is so excited! He asks every day how old he is and is extremely disappointed when I tell him he is still 4. Matthew is doing well. He learns a lot at school but only shares it with Matt generally. I have to squeeze info out of him. Christopher is getting bigger every day (5T at 2). He has such an attitude but still gets separation anxiety when I leave for school. Matt is still working and helping out a ton. Yeah for supportive husbands.

I am so blessed and thankful for all the blessings I have in my life. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and touches everything in my life. I know it sounds cheesy and I don't express it often but I know that I would be nothing without him and the spirit. I am so thankful that I have a beautiful strong family that all support me and boost me up to my potential. I love each and every one of the dysfunctional bunch!

I better quit screwing around and study so next week can be good too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

Wow the kids made it all the way to 12! They were excited because they got to see fireworks from our neighbors behind us and got to drink apple cider and count down. They especially loved the kissing, except when mommy and daddy kissed! I think Matthew understood what New Years meant but Jeffrey and Christopher just were excited to stay up and eat junkfood all day. It was a small immediate family affair but it was neat because it was just us and we got to hang around in our PJ's all day. This has been the best two weeks for a long time! I can't believe it's almost over and we will be back to school. Oh well its my birthday in 2 weeks and I am excited.
