Rest in Peace Alexis....

This year for me has been full of too many funerals that one person should not have since January.

Alexis Cohen was a high school friend. We hung out in SASA ( Students Against Substance Abuse), in and out of class and at home. We drifted apart over the years and I am sad it happen. Life got in the way. Moving apart, going our own ways and just not having time.

Alexis Cohen was a victim of a hit and run. They caught the person, Daniel Bark , but still.

So many people know her as the bad mouth over done Glitter Girl on American Idol.

She was NOT a crackhead.
She was NOT a druggie.
She was NOT a mental case.

She was a HUMAN BEING! She was someone's daughter. She was someone's neice. Someone's cousin. She was a PERSON!

All the bashers and haters out there have nothing nice to say and its horrible they are treating her after all this as a joke. She was more than just a AI set up. She would give you the last dollar in her pocket or shirt off her back. She was someone who was passionate for life and loved life. She did not have a easy life but she made it what it was for her...her LIFE.

So Nice!

Yes, it is nice to be able to go get things done during the normal day.

After Jameson left for work, Ryden and I headed to Walmart for a new garbage can (no luck) and some other few things. Then we headed over to Walnutport to the Mc Donalds for lunch and Play Place. It is pretty humid so it is nice to have a place to go let him run and burn some energy.

We just missed the crowd thank god ( note to self: 1245pm PERFECT time) and so Ryden and this other little boy had the area to themselves. He had a blast running around up and down the steps and playing w/ the toddler toys. He just kept running for a good 30 minutes.

Headed on over to Pathmark since bigger kids were coming into the area and well...didn't want to risk him getting hurt by them not seeing him. He sat in the cart eating him Happy Meal... which was in a BOX...a RED HAPPY SMILE BOX... while mommy picked up a couple things for Tacos tonight yay!

So now we are home. He is laying in bed hopfully napping and I am just relaxing. He is getting better at getting in and out of his carseat which will make it easier come big belly time.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

The Run Around Day!

I GET MY CAR BACK! YAY!

Jameson finally found a car. A 1994 Geo Metro. Yes, a tiny putt putt car. It will do awesome on gas and I get my Cobalt back! Now I can take Ryden to the park to burn off energy of his and just be out of the house. I will no longer have to plan around his work schedule and I will be able to just run out when I need to!

Today we had a busy busy day. I had a eye appointment for a check up and new glasses, than to get the car and than to the Chevy dealership. Needed to get a tire fixed, correct a sensor and find out why my airbag code kept coming up. But I got to have my Pita Pit so all was nice. I HIGHLY suggest looking up to see if one is in your area. They are great prices and awesome food.

Tomorrow, we are heading up to my parents house to see some family. A couple relatives are coming in from New York to hang out for the day. It will be nice and Ryden will be able to run around and burn off more energy.

I also have to go get my Pregnant Person blood work done. ICK. The joys of pregnancy! They take like 6 viles of blood so I must make sure I eat something or bring something to eat afterwards. Dam Vampires!

As The Days go by....

This pregnancy has been SO different than Ryden! I have been getting so nauseous this time around and my face? Oh it is breaking out like crazy! I am not having fun w/ this one!

I am also so much more tired. It has not been bad this week but still stinks. Does not help chasing Ryden around. He has decided that he does not want to play by himself anymore and not work on going potty. UGH! I am determine to get him potty trained BEFORE little Crouton makes its appearance.

We have our first appt and Ultrasound on 7/31 at 1115am. So my mom is coming out to watch Ryden and I get to wake up early! Our OB is a hour away but I love them to pieces so I will travel that far hahaha.

We are still looking for a second car. It really is hard only having the one. I have to plan everything around Jameson's work schedule.

Any donations can be sent to me via PayPal at: squishytoad1@verizon.net :0)

So much...so little...

So it has been really adventurous since last post.

My Uncle Phil has passed away. It was a complete shock to us all. He was so healthy. He passed due to a Abdominal Aorta Anyersuim. I know I spelled it wrong. It was not a great weekend then. My little sister not only got to celebrate her 18th birthday saying goodbye to him, but also saying goodbye to her GodFather. It was a very hard day for all of us.

But that morning I took a Pregnancy test that came up Positive :0) So, took a couple more over a couple days and sure enough:
So Ryden got a sibling on the way for his Birthday. I still can not believe that my little Ryden is 2 yrs old already! Time sure has flown by. He had a lot of fun hitting his Pinata at his party hahaha.

Amazing...

My little sister. My little baby sister is graduating high school tomorrow night. She has been through so much the last few years and now she is considered an adult. She is going to be 18 the end of the month. Where did time go?

www.PenniesForPamela.com is her site I made for her. She goes off to college this summer and its just wow. She is going out into the world on her own. She gets to not deal w/ my mom being a pain in the butt and bugging her anymore. She gets to be an adult.

Okay, done feeling old. Ryden is currently napping which is a rare one. God I am not excited that he is cutting them out :0(

Time Rolls On...

I still can not believe....in under a month my little bubba will be 2! Where has the time gone? He is so different from last year this time. Granted, we are as well. This past weekend, he went for a Tractor Ride at my parents house with grandpa:


We are having a Cars Theme Party. Complete w/ a McQueen Pinata and all lol. It will be fun I think. Ill get to see how many ppl I can comfortably have in our apartment. Not many I know but I know the kids will want to stay outside so good on that. Lets just hope the weather holds out.

Ryden's vocabulary is exploding lately. He is picking up new words like crazy. He recently loves to say bubble, NO, door, juice, light. He also is trying to count which is just adorable beyond belief hahaha. He likes to put stuff over his eyes or hide, call Mum Mum and then go BOO! hahahahaha. He is so cute sometimes. He surprises me everyday and no matter how much I want to kill him, he always finds a way to do something cute and redeem himself.

Jameson is getting a car. Thank god! I miss having my car and being able to go out and get stuff done. There have been days where it would have been perfect for a Park Day but no car to go over. I hope this car works out :0)

BAM!

Yes...any FoodTV watcher knows that phrase.
Emeril was in Center Valley Tuesday for a book signing. He is opening a restaurant in the new Sands Casino this weekend. So he had a book signing for his new Grilling book. My mom...HUGE Bam Fan. So when i found out a month ago he was going to be there, i told her to clear her schedule to go.

it was a long day. we got that around 4 or 5. apparently we had to get wristbands but we ended up in the overflow of the 1000. No worry though....Emeril stayed late into the night to sign e

very single book. We got ours done at 1030 and my mom was so thankful to see him and meet him. It was cute!! When he came into the bookstore, he walked right passed us and wow... alot shorter in person than you think!! But it was a nice long day w/ my mom and i was so glad i got to do that w/ her.

California Vacation!

So things have been hairy but wanted to fill this in some huh?

Went to Cali to see my family finally! I was so excited but it was not a vacation of relaxation. Ryden came along w/ me. He was not a happy camper on the planes but it was great to see my grandma!

Also, got to meet my aunt and cousins which was ALOT of fun! Ryden had a blast playing with them.

It was alot of fun. I was so glad grandma got to meet them all.

Ryden however, is not adjusting back to our time zone greatly. We have been back since 4/30 but he is not sleeping well. Does not want to sleep at a normal time or get up at a normal time. It sucks ass!
