Twilight Trilogy....Hunger Games

Before I move onto this book above, I thought I better post about the midnight showing of Eclipse...in June. Twilight has been a great way for me and the girls to get together and enjoy nights out and have tons of fun together. Crystal has already started and almost finished Hunger Games..and has given me the bug to start. Marisa and I are starting it this weekend. We need another excuse to talk and get out to the movies. Don't you agree girls? (Side note, Jade and Dustin are almost finished with it too, it must be good!)

Bronx with Aunt Marisa and Aunt Crystal...he was in Heaven with all the girls that loved on him at the movie (he is such a little flirt already!)

Marisa and her beautiful smile...seriously, her smile is the best!

This picture is way blurry, but I have to post it. Marisa and I so excited for Eclipse.

In June I went with Crystal and Marisa to the Twilight Trilogy which led to the midnight premier of Eclipse. It was so fun to go with them. They are two of my best friends and it was fun to just be goofy and have a blast. Bronx got to come with Mom for the first movie, and then I left and ran him home. He was way tired and needed his bed. Dustin was a trooper and kept all three boys. They were all sound asleep by the time I got home at about 2 a.m. Anyway, it was a night of great converstion and good laughs. So now onto the Hunger Games, have you read it?

Question for Mom's....(updated)

Update: Bronx is doing well with the cereal with just b-milk in it. So, now we have to rule out some other things, such as apple juice and fruit, he has had trouble with both of those....but as for now, we know rice is not the culprit. Thanks to those who left a comment!

Have any of you ever had a baby get sick after eating Rice Cereal? I never have until now. I tried starting Bronx on cereal a month ago, without success. He became violently ill, vomiting...the projectile kind, and then after that was done, he would heave and heave, from his toes heave and became very weak. I ended up taking him to the ER worried that he was going to be in some kind of trouble. They told me he probably had a stomach bug and gave him something for the nausea and watched us for a while before sending us home. So its been a month, I thought I would try cereal again, thinking that he just had a stomach bug last time. He only took a few bites and became very cranky. I put him to sleep and he slept for maybe an hour and then woke up crying. I picked him up and he projected vomit all over me...this continued the same as last time for HOURS. He gets so ill (I have never seen a baby vomit so much that they actually get to nothing but bile coming up). I am worried he has an allergy to rice. I have called his pediatrician and he wants me to try one more time with just breast milk mixed in the cereal, not formula or anything and see how he does. I am afraid to try it because it breaks my heart to watch him go through it. If any of you have had this experience or know anyone that has....let me know what you did. Even if I don't know you personally, and you happen to swing by our blog and have an answer...please do! I need advice. Thank you in advance!

Never Forget....

Tonight as I have watched Fox News and the videos that have replayed of September 11, 2001, I have cried. I remember where I was at when I heard that the first tower was hit, I have felt the feelings I felt at that time. I have felt a loyalty and a patriotism to my country that is forever binding. We live in a great and wonderful land, we have been blessed to be free Americans to worship and live as we please. Today I have felt re-commited to standing up for Truth, Righteousness, and Country. I will never forget those who lost their lives on this day nine years ago, and those who continue to put theirs in harms way to protect our freedoms.

A party for a 3 year old.....

Our Crew boy turned 3 in July, and boy did we celebrate! We had two days of fun, and loved every minute of it. On his actual birthday we went to the theater and saw How to Train your Dragon (cute!) and then to Chuck-e-Cheese to eat and play.

Crew with his best friend. He tells me all the time that Catch is his best friend. I hope it always stays that way. Catcher was so cute, he did his best to make sure Crew had a great day. He started every sentence with"because its your birthday Crew, I will help you....."

Here they are goofing around at the theater before the movie. Its great, who needs quarters to play, they have just as much fun pretending.

Bronx was just so excited...can you tell?

Dad and Crew at dinner. Crew wanted to sit by his daddy. Talk about melting a grown mans heart. He thinks his daddy is pretty great, he is right.

Bronx awake..and trying to get the pacifier in his mouth. Love this squishy baby!

YUM!

Those dark eyes are deadly! They kind of control me at times.

Playing basketball with dad. Highlight to Crew since he LOVES to play any kind of sports.

Where to go next.....This was the first birthday that he realized it was all about him. Well I think most kids would think that was great, but Crew, he is not one to have all the attention on him. He would rather just blend in. But look at that cute face, he doesn't blend at all! He is a stand out!

The Buddies.

Snuggled up in the blanket that April sent Crew for his birthday. She knows the way to a three year olds heart, a snugly blanket, suckers and home made Jerky. Thank you April!

Rosin at the Birthday party.

Catch enjoying cake.

The family party was on Saturday, and we got together for lunch, cake and swimming. My boys love to be with their cousins and especially when it involves swimming. Crew and Catcher were little fish this summer, so this was the perfect party. Everyone came (we missed you Mark, Marisa, Madisyn and Ella) and it was so fun. Again, Crew wasn't sure about having all the attention on him. When we sang happy birthday to him and everyone had their eyes on him to blow out the candles...I had to talk him into it. He just wanted to hide in my shoulder. Funny kid. (See video at very end of the post)

The cake...(Thanks Costco) I usually try to come up with some kind of cute cupcake for birthdays, but this year I just wasn't on the ball. Luckily he was excited to go to Costco and pick out his cake, chocolate with baseball, perfect!

Look at that smile! Thanks for the Buzz gun Goodmans..do you know him or what?!

The kids swimming and having a blast. We are super lucky Grandma has a nice pool.

I hope your birthday was great Crew. We sure enjoyed sharing it with you. Our lives are perfect with you in it. At three years old his favorites are: (he is naming them off to me)

Crew is so much fun. He is very active and keep me on my toes. He has the longest eye lashes in the world, with the most beautiful green eyes. His smile is amazing and his little sweet moments are the best. I love you Crew and thank my lucky stars that I get to have you.
