Birthday Cake!!!

Don't be deceived by these pictures. Ty was being completley clean and modest about the whole cake thing. I think it was the fact that he had 20 people staring at him. He didn't get messy until (after chants of encouragement) I smooshed his hands into his cake them wiped some on his face. =)
When everyone started getting their own cake and stopped watching him, he got more into it and squeezed cake between his fingers and ate some. It was cute. Messy...but cute!

It actually took me under 10 minutes to get his chair, the floor, and the cake mess cleaned up. He didn't get any on the floor until we pulled him out of the highchair. We did the only sane thing to do and took him straight to the bath tub and stuck him in. lol! We gave him a quick bath, got him dressed, and brought him back out to all his birthday party friends! He seemed to have a blast! Thanks to ALL who got to come! You guys made his birthday a great one!

Flip Flop Obsession

Well, apparently I'm not the only one that is obsessed with flip flops! It must be hereditary. lol!
___
Ty carts my flip flops around any chance that he can get. Doesn't he look completely guilty in the second picture? "Oh, are these yours momma?"
___
He's also gotten pretty talented lately. =) Upon request he will show you his muscles. If asked "Where's Ty?," he'll pat himself on the chest. He just recently learned the sign for 'milk' and occasionally will sign 'momma.'
It's pretty cute!

More to come later!

Sleepy Head

These were both taken on the way home from Louisville. Don't worry, I didn't actually LOOK while I was taking them, I just held the camera out to the side and snapped a few. Took a couple to get them right but they turned out pretty good for taking them while driving. lol
___
On a good note: I have been feeling great! Thanks for all your all's encouragements! They meant the world! I have been feeling much better and out of the mopies!
___
I've really been enjoying this warmer weather that we've been having again! It has been in the 70's around here! YAY for warm weather!
___
Ryan, Ty, and I all matched again for church. Different clothes than Easter, but we still matched! Alas, I again didn't have our picture taken! I know, I should be whipped!
___
Still taking in all the name suggestions that I can get! We still like Jaden and I still like Macie! haha...we'll see
___
Ty has done GREAT without his pacifier...obviously the top picture was taken the day before we took it away. *sniff for poor Ty* Nap times are a little harder, but he's been a little trooper!!!

A Sad Today...

Oh how my head hurts. I was up most of last night with a "pregnancy" headache. I still had it when Ryan left for work this morning and I STILL have it and it's the middle of the afternoon.
___
It must be the whole pregnancy emotions thing that has my nerves and emotions fairly shot. I've just been down all day today. Urg. I don't like feeling down. I need a hug.
___
My belly is finally starting to protrude a little bit. Maternity shirts are still a bit big, but I don't like the way my normal shirts look anymore. So, I'm stuck in the middle of "no clothes" land. Hmm...I remember this happening last time as well, just a lot sooner than it's happening this time!
___
I CANNOT believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by.
___
Ty gave up his paci Sunday night. (Not by his choice mind you) He's doing AWESOME without it! I thought it would be SOOOO much harder to get rid of than what it was. Praise the Lord for that!
___
I just had such a comforting thought! Even though I'm sitting here feeling down and in need of a hug, I always have my Savior with me! He never leaves me nor forsakes me! Isn't that AWESOME!!! I just love the Lord. He's been so good to me and I'm terribly ungrateful a lot of the time, yet He still loves me and is there for me ALL the time! What a gracious God that we serve!

Our Baby Girls Ticker

Well I wasn't sure if anyone would actually notice that I added a new ticker on the bottom of my blog so I thought I'd post it up here so you guys can check it when you want to on the bottom. I'm also going to add a link to it on the side like I have for Ty's Ticker. I think it's a cute one! She sure is bouncing around these days!
___
Also, thanks so much for all the name inputs! Keep them coming! The more the better! I really like the name Macie, but Ryan just isn't crazy about it. We both like the name Jade and have talked seriously about naming her Jaden and calling her Jade for short. I need a really neat middle name to go with it though just so we can have it for an option. Any suggestions?
___
I'm all about having a unique middle name! Ty's is Laketon and I just adore it...so I want her to have one too! So I need middle name ideas as well and especially one that goes well with Jaden, just in case we settle on that one!
___Till later!

Weekend With Mom

Well, the concert was a hit! I really enjoyed myself and it was such a nice treat! Mom and I went this weekend and listened to a group called Celtic Woman sing. We both got dressed up and had the best time! So, I thought I'd add a couple pics that we had taken in the theatre while we were there.

My Aunt and cousin took care of Ty while we were at the concert, so it was a nice break too! We all need those from time to time!

Baby Names Anyone???

Well, I'm giving an open call for everyone's suggestions on baby names for girls! Ryan and I neither one have come to a final conclusion. I have my favorite mind you, but don't completely have him convinced. lol We'll see! Feel free to fill my comment box with cute little girl names! The more the better!
___
By the way...did I mention how handsome I thought Ryan looked in that picture below this post with Ty? *smile*
