Well, tomorrow is Ryan's 5th Birthday. :) Absolutely amazing to this mama. My baby, growin up so fast. Surely it was just yesterday he was learning to sit up & bounce to music, or crawling in my curio cabinet with all the dolls!!! But now he's in preschool, getting smarter than mom by the day, and is so independent, I have to steal the times I can just snuggle with him or even zip his jacket for him!! My buster!! We got him a bycicle for his birthday, and I just can't wait to give it to him. Seems to me 5 years old is a right of passage to get his first real bike. :) Spiderman, none the less! Nate assembeled it and I wrapped the box so he could open it without having to wait for it!! :) Construction zone cake & party subs all ready to go! I think I'm as excited as he is for this birthday!! :)
I made sure I had everything in order ahead of time for this birthday party, b/c I knew I'd be kind of out of commission this weekend. I had my wisdom teeth + pulled on Friday. It went alright, kind of an interesting experience......I was under the impression that with IV sedation I would be pretty much out and not remember anything.....ummm, I was awake, but drowsy, most of it. :) And they couldn't get my right side numb, so it took much longer than anticipated. poor nate sitting in the waiting room. lol. however, i'm doing well. still a little swelling & tenderness, but nothing severe!! Just no bending or lifting for a couple of days, and lots of ice cream. :) there goes my diet plan! ha! Just sooooo glad it's all done & over with!! I have good little helpers at home. :0
The boys are in Grand Island for the weekend; Nate took them to his parents while I recoup,bless his sweet heart, so they're busy doing lots of fun things like going to the park, digging in the sand, playing out on the beach, going to the pumpkin patch, and just playing like crazy with Grampa & Gramma!! :) Hopefully they get some good pictures, so I can share! :) It's so fun to watch them play. Colby's really now getting into using his imagination.....the other day he set up his whole little farm; barn, animals, farmers, tractors....where as in the past he just played with one thing at a time, ya know? And he's hooking things up to his crane, and imagining so many things, it's fun. : ) He's such a character, the things he says. My dad was telling him about their fishing boat, and he says "That's a great boat, papaw!" :) We go get Ryan from preschool, and when he gets in the van, Colb sayd "How was school Ryan? What'd you do today Ryan?" :) Such a little smartie.
Well I'll get more pics uploaded soon. That's the fun part to look at anyway. :)
