Gabryels 3rd Bday!

Yesterday was Gabryels 3rd birthday, but this afternoon was his actual party! We went over early to help tabatha get ready. In the back you see there is a big table with a train set made up, this is how julian got the nick name godzilla, because everytime he goes over, he always destroys Gabryels train tacks & little village!..lol

heres a better picture of the entire train table, and of Juju playing his roll of Godzilla..lol

Daddy tring to calm down our wild child! He threw his first real temper tantrom tonight.. kicking screaming the whole throwing his hands.. the whole nine yards!!! I told Josh, we have to put a end to this in the early stagessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gabryels party table! doesnt the cake look kick butt!?! Tabatha made it herself!!!!!!

So today I went (yes last minute) to get Gabryels birthday present, I really had no clue what to get him, but that morning when i called to ask what he wanted he said " i dont know, something BLUE" haha... all he would tell me was, "something blue jojo" so when i was at the store it was inbetween this transformer helmet and this big dinosaur t rex thing. But considering he said.. BLUE i went with the helmet. Come to find out after explaining to tabatha what i got him, while helping get ready for the party.. she tells me this is something hes been wanting for years...but they told him his head has to get bigger first because the helmet was for bigger boys!.. i had no idea it would be such a big hit for him!..

so as he opens the present we bought, his mouth falls open in awe, and he yells " WOOOOWWWW" ....."MY HEAD GOT BIGGER, MY HEAD GOT BIGGER!!!" LMAO it was the cutest thing ever! i was so excited that he enjoyed the gift.

Big cheese smile with his helmet! :)

It was so cool, even when you talk with it on, it makes the voice of Optimous prime... it was pretty kick butt if i do say so myself.

Singing happy birthday..

Juju was super tired..but still held on to his purple ballon. It flew out the car when we got home, so i told him we were giving it to Pawpaw as a Labor Day present! :) he watched it fly high in the sky until it blended in with the dark sky.

PS- sorry my vidoes are sideways, i dont know how to rotate them... and its just a habit to hold my camera that way! IF anyone knows how to rotate videos please let me knoooww! Thanks!

Peek A Boo!

Today i started the day off with coffee, breakfast for juju & myself, then went straight into cleaning this apartment! it was so overdue for a deep cleaning!.. when i was moving our chairs so i could mop, Julian took it upon his self to start sweeping for mommy! What a good little helper! :)

Then he heard some loud noise outside, so he got on his little truck thingy and rode over to the sliding glass door to watch the movers outside moving in a new neighbor!

Guess he was enjoying watching!

He couldnt choose between the two.. Lord bless my EARS!

Finally, he picked ONE! :) :)


Did i meantion that julian said pee a boo today? It was more like "daboo" haha Each time i said, "PEEKABOO" he said "Daboo" haha

Josh also taught Julian how to say bath., but again its more like "bat" and he like screams it.. haha he loves taking a bath!

blowing bubbles..haha

ONE YEAR PICTURES

im such a proud mommy! im so excited yet sad at the same time! So excited for every part of life i am so blessed to have with my son. I am so glad God trusted me enough to give me the ability have and care for another life. I love Julian so much and cant believe how fast time flies.. hes already nearly one years old.. my baby is growing upp!!

He is just so handsome, and perfect.. :) i just feel so content, proud and truly BLESSED!

busy week...

i know i know, me and my excuses for not doing a better job of keeping up! BUT truly.. life is so busy! My days are crammed shut! I am oh so ready for a day to do NOTTA THING! I have tried to still take a good amount of pictures although i wasnt blogging.

Last week, on Tuesday Josh had the day off so we brought Julian to Botanical Gardens! Since he is walking he enjoyed it a whole lot. I can NOT wait to have a home with a yard so we can all three go outback and play!! Juju just loves the outdoors!

Wendesday, Josh had work again, and Julian and myself just hung out and did house work / school work.

Thursday, Josh was suppose to leave for a few weeks.. so Tabatha and I scheduled to get together to start our bible studies together that afternoon! They came over around 1, after both the boy's naps and she oh so kindly brought over pizza for lunch. The boys use to have somewhat of a difficult time together because the age difference and Gabryel sometimes forgets..haha but lately i guess since Julian is walking and more independent... the two are so good playing together! They push trucks, play blocks..and just goof off, its such a pleasure to sit and watch! :) Needless to say, Josh's ship didnt leave so he came home that afternoon! :)

Friday, the ship did in fact leave, and Julian and myself went grocery shopping at walmart then headed to chesapeake. I was helping Tabatha's mom to make the baby shower cake!.. Yum! it turned out so sooo well! Mrs. Deb also cooked gumbo, and we also did a little work for Lauralies room! :) i can NOT wait to meet her! We didnt get back home until 12:30 that night!

Saturday, I was suppose to head back to Chesapeake to help clean up before the shower the following day, but found myself very sluggish from staying up the night before, and swamped with homework. soo that in deed didnt happen. Plus I needed to wrap my Lauralie friends presents!

Sunday, we did not attend church due to the fact that we went over to the shower early to help put things together and decorate for Tabathas shower. The turnout was great, and everything went very smoothly! :) ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE MEETING OF LAURALIE! YAY!

Today is Monday, and its 10:37, I just finished doing my beth moore bible study, it just is better to do it in the mornings, i find it starts me day off better!! Julian slept so well last night, didnt wake at all! .. He's sleep patterns have been so weird.. i knew something was going on, but wasnt quite sure until today! HE HAS A BIG BACK TOOTH COMING THROUGH! SOooo he has orejel in, and is sucking a icecube in his munchkin and has already been given Motrin. Poor baby has a big lump on his gums.. and has been having rotten diapers all morning long! Thankfully, no fever yet.. i just can not stand teething.. it makes me hurt for him! :( but im keeping my fingers crossed that this one comes out quickly! I had plans to bring Juju to the park today, but its been gloomy and rainy all morning, and evidently it rained last night as well! so looks like we are staying in our jammies today and indoors.

^ i put ice in his munchkin for him to suck on!..lol

^ You can tell my baby wasnt feeling well.. he was laying down on the floor just watching his toons.









Finally after oregel, ice and motrin.. he perked up a little bit! :)

that is pretty much our life lately in a nut shell!
