Summer 2012

With party planning and just life uninterrupted

 we have barely celebrated the beginning of summer

For me summer usually started on my birth day

As a previous self-centered individual "that was all that mattered"

Now life is fuller, more awesome!

(yes i am one of those that uses awesome..alot)

Our life revolves around him ^

I never over indulge him, he's very well mannered

As well mannered as a one year old can get

He doesn't hit or bite..Yes quite proud of that

because he is a smart boy, he understands,

He does throw fits and tantrums but I think some of that is allowed.

sometimes..

Anyway we took Lucas to his first town carnival, or fest.

It had very limited rides for the junebug, he only rode the horseys.

Being 28 1/4 inches doesn't get you very far.

I hope to one day get on a roller coaster with him

I hope he loves them like I do, otherwise, he will be sitting on the sidelines

with dad.

I had an awesome time riding them. 

L & dad are some of the people beneath watching crazy mom plunge

Hurray for summer! & for another year of life 

with my crazy boy.. To being 23 and having such a great hubs.

Birthday party..he's ONE!

Ok, so I failed at posting daily this week!
I had no time, I was on full planning mode.
Excited for the first birthday, I completely forgot about my posting goals.
Counting his baptism, and my hubby's graduation party, this is the third party I've hosted.
His birthday was not without glitch, but it still seemed perfect in my eyes!
First off, It was hot.
The weather had predicted scattered showers
Next to the alteranative, rain. Hot seemed lovely.
The party started at 2pm.
2pm was my deadline, I had been up since 7.
I baked some goodies, and got my stuff ready.
Thank goodness my mom suggested me taking an early shower, because time was constricted
My day was so busy, I'm still sore!

We had sno cones, makeshift photobooth, a bouncy castle..
Kids were running, having fun.
I made me feel so happy that they were trully enjoying themselves.
Lucas especially, he was content, even if we didn't nurse until like 4.
I was a bit sore by then.
I also had a time capsule, Lucas got some great stuff, that were planning on opening come 2030.
I still have yet to write him a note, I will think of something to tell my soon to be 18yr old.
My hubb literally busted his ass getting stuff together.
He was sore too!

Over all, everything was oh so lovely!
I have to come up w/ some thank you notes
more work, but I feel a little better.

Party planning stresses me out!

Birthday week DAY- TRES

Ah shit, I was supposed to post every day leading up tp the big day ...oooops
Day 3 was uneventful, I got caught up in reading Twilight, yes folks, I gave into the mania!!
My little sis hung around and helped me w/ most of my birthday-pinterest projects!!

Birthday week..DAY-DOS!!

Pictures throught the months ..
He has changed sooo much!!
I love him to pieces

rumbunctious

Party planning is a bitch

Man!..ok so I'm not much of a planner
and my spontaneity sucks..I always end up needing something vital.
Anyway, I'm hoping to plan I've been planning L's big 1st bday for a while now.
I'm so excited to celebrate with everyone my little guy.
In addition I'm planning my Dh's( darling husband) "Fiesta de graduacion".
I know a Mexican themed graduation party! So close to Cinco de Mayo lmao!
I't getting down to the wire. 
For Lucas the theme is color.
Just plain color explosion everywhere! Rainbow if you must.
People have been asking.."what's the theme". I say color or brights..or the rainbow.
I get a crazy look.
Well I'm kinda used to those anyway.
I rebel against buying anything themed, at least until L is addicted to some cartoon.
He doesn't have any "popular cartoon" anythings. 
These items are too expensive and over rated.
But alas..I know he will see something on the pesky t.v.
(that I try to avoid getting him hooked on) 
and I will have to give in, at least an inch.
I am a sucker for his smiles.
I will be taking pictures for his invite.
Last year around this time I was sitting uncomfortably on the couch writting him a post 
on his dear babe mommy journal.

May 8 (32w6d)

Hello beautiful baby , Today is a great day. Your moving around and it’s oh so lovely it’s a little hot but I love it because the days are numbered until we meet you . In seven weeks you should be here with us, next to me and daddy. We’ll I’m not going to lie that I’m not a bit scared but not as much as I think I should be. Anyway about Lola, She’s doing well but I can’t wait until that cast comes off and she’s back to her normal self. It’s so stressful and daddy and I have to deal with it. I would really want her up and well by the time you get here. I really think that she’s gonna have a really hard time when you get here because she has been my only baby for so long and I love her but there’s tons of love to go around. She’s forced to be caged at this moment with a cone around her head because she can’t keep it on. But enough of stress let’s talk of you. Well I haven’t seeing a picture of you in like three months and I really want to see what you look like. Although all that matters is your health I still wonder who you will take after. I mean not to brag but I was an adorable child : ) . I really hope to teach you to be kind and to always be grateful for what you have and not think of what you lack off. I even have a hard time understanding this sometimes and feel bad when I think I lack some material item that I don’t need. I’m really trying to change that about me. I guess it has to do with how I was raised not having much and always wanting to preserve everything I got. I hope I’m a great mom to you. Till next time ..love MOM

It still makes me sad to read stuff about Lola..I'm sad she won't be in L's life. 

Anyway 6 weeks until 1'st BIRTHDAY! 

Let the official countdown begin!
