Rex's Birthday

Today is Rex's 3rd birthday! Time has just flown by. I can't believe that my little baby boy is going to be 3 already. It's crazy how fast it has been.


We have a great birthday planned for him. He chose a dinosaur theme which means that we already have almost all the decorations. See for his first birthday we did a huge 50+ guest list T-Rex themed party because of his name. It was fun and really cute and now since he loves dinosaurs we are able to reuse what we have. 


I found a great cake to make online and showed Rex and he is really excited. 




I'm just hoping it turns out OK because I have never made a cake like this before. Actually M's birthday was in February and I made just a regular cake for the first time in about 5 years so this cake is making me nervous.


 We are having a smaller guest list of mostly just family and 2 of Rex's closest friends over to my parents house to join in the fun. The weather is looking great and I think the kids will have a blast outside drawing with chalk, playing in the sandbox, and playing on the swing set. 


Of course Rex is getting spoiled with presents. He's getting trains and a train table from M and myself. Granny and Great Popa are splitting a big driving Jeep gift with him which I think he will love. Then my parents have talked about getting him a fish tank which he loves looking at the fish at their neighbors house and at the library. I think that his 3rd birthday is going to be a blast and I'm so glad that we have such a wonderful boy to celebrate. I couldn't have asked for a better son to have!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...
