ADULT GAME NIGHT!!!

Ok so I tried this adult night NO KIDS party at my house a few months ago and it was fun but its time to do it again. So I am inviting all of you to join us at my house on Saturday January 31st. Let me know if you are interested in coming. We had dinner and played games. Just a time for us parents to have a nice fun night out without the kidos. (if the kids come that is fine Hayden was here last time) Leave me a comment if you would like to join us and I will let you know what to bring. Bring what ever games you have. We played scatigories, guestures things like that. It was so much fun.

Have a wonderful New Year and hope to see you all in 2009

You make me complete and I cant wait until the day we are a true family. Thank you again for my wonderful beautiful gifts that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I love you baby Merry Christmas.


(I love writing poems and can say more of what I want to say in a poem then I can in person so I know this is cheesy for a blog but I had to let Scott know and the whole world know who I love and how happy I am)

Random

Ok so my vacation started and I am cleaning my house. ANYONE WANT TO HELP? Just kidding. I'm taking a break and thought I would post a few things that Hayden said the other day....Last week I was getting him ready for his school Christmas party on Friday..I was telling him he was going to see Santa...he stoped me and said but mommy I have already seen Santa twice...Ok were did that come from. I just laughed and said ok well you are going to see him again. He has fun and all he could talk about was how he saw Santa again. Children and Christmas.

Then last night I have an angel that I put in his room and told Hayden that he needed to be a good boy because this angel was one of Santa's helpers and that he was watching Hayden and would fly back to the North Pole and tell Santa if he had been a good boy or not. When it was time for bed Hayden turned the TV off and said good night angel tell Santa I'm a good boy. (tear) I then took the angel and moved it to the living room. This morning Hayden saw it in their and told me that it came back from the North Pole and that he was still a good boy. Thanks to my mom for this idea.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the babysitter issue. I appreciate it and now have 2 more names to add to my list. Thanks girls you all are a great help.

Need Help

Ok I'm reaching out to everyone to see if you can help me out with babysitters. I don't go out much. Scott and I do try to get out for a date night once a month at least if not more but we don't have any sitters.

I have my parents and his parents which are both great and help out as much as they can, then have Hayden's old school teacher Allison who watches him and is wonderful but that is about it.

Last night I had a sitter lined up so I could join Scott and his family for Lauren's (his sisters) birthday. Well 3 hours before I was to pick up the sitter she called and canceled on me. It would not have been a big deal if I didn't make dinner but would have been a downer on me since I was invited to a special dinner with his family. SO I got on the phone and called everyone I could think of and NO ONE called me back. (ok so that hurt) I know its the time of year that a lot is going on and I understand those who could not do it last night because of Christmas parties. I called Scott's friend Buddy and Jenny thinking she is a mom with two kids she should know someone. well Buddy and Jen came to my rescue and watched Hayden for us last night so we could go out. Thanks a bunch guys I appreciate it more then you will ever know.

Then My work party is tonight and again my sitter bailed (not ever calling her again) so here I am without a sitter and my own work Christmas party. Thank the LORD I have a wonderful boss who understands and said that Hayden could come with us. Thanks Gary. SO for tonight I am covered.

What I need is more people that you trust that love to babysit and could give me a few names and numbers. Like I said we don't go out a whole lot but when we do we don't have a sitter or they bail on us.

Thanks,

Meaning of Christmas

This picture was taken last year and it is still my favorite ever. My sister took this picture and it reminds me of what Christmas is all about. Children.

Hope you enjoy the pic and it helps bring Christmas home to each of you.

Merry Christmas from Carly and Hayden.

Bowling

I started bowling 6 years ago. I was dating a guy and he asked if I wanted to be on a bowling league. My friends and I said what the heck why not so we joined Ball and Chain at Heritage Lanes. I could not bowl for CRAP and had an average of 80 yea that was not good. By the end of the first year my average was 105 so good improvement. I bowled the following year and did a little better average about 115 then it just has gone up and up and up. I took a year off after Hayden was born and started back up last year with an AWESOME team. Gene (who is on my team) showed me where to stand and where to have my ball hit. This helped me a lot. Now most bowlers just glide the ball down the lane and it does what they want it to do... oh but not me. I stand up (no knee behind me) and CHUNK the ball down the lane... now it hits the lane after the arrows but i get strikes so I don't care. People joke with me about my bowling but don't say much because I still kick the Crap out of them. So this year my average went up from last week to this week. (i bowl every Monday night) Last week I had a 121 average and this week went up to 126 5.10 upgrade in a week. GO ME!!! After last nights games it will jump up again. My goal it to hit my average at least to make sure we have a chance of winning but I seem to always bowl about 10+ pins over my average which is shocking and great all at the same time. Last nights scores were 130,162,135 My highest game this year was the 170 I hit a few weeks ago. The night I did that I told Scott and the rest of my team (Scott bowls on my team) that if I don't hit at least a 112 (this is -10pins of my average that they use if I'm not there) then I was going home because I did not fell good at all.....well the first game that night I hit a 170 my team told me I was not going anywhere..the next two games were good ones to so I made it another night.

I love bowling and enjoy it every Monday night. IF you are interested let me know. Its the Ball and Chain league in Monday nights at Heritage Lanes from 6-9 (give or take) we bowl 33 weeks out of the year and start around Late August or early September and Finnish around end of April first of May. Its a lot of fun and time to get out and have a ball. Oh and you get money back at the end of the year too. Its $14 a week. Let me know if you or anyone you know is interested.

Time Flys when you are having fun! (getting older)

Here is my baby boy over the last three years. Time sure does fly when you are having fun or growing old.

Bottom picture is Hayden on 1-29-06 the day home from the Hospital

Top Left is March 08 playing around when he found my Santa hat
Middle is last year with Santa 12/07
Far right is first Christmas 12/06




My Child is growing like a weed and becoming a little man. He tells me he is not a baby anymore but a big boy and that he is going to take care of me. He is such a sweet boy that I could not have asked for a better child. He is just wonderful. Last Friday night Scott and I took Hayden to the ORR family farm for Scott's work Christmas party (wonderful time) but on the way down Scott says to Hayden
Scott: Hayden now listen to me when we get there I need you to ....
Hayden: (interrupts) Mommy and Daddy (that's what he calls Scott) you not cry or be mean you listen.
So my child is a little shit but we love him. He told us not to do what we were going to tell him not to do. SMART KID!!!

Blah Blah Blah....

Where has this year gone??? Here it is December 15th and Christmas a week away. WOW time fly when your having fun! I am glad that after Friday I will be off work for 2 weeks... a long awaited break from everything. But then its (as my mother always says) head down ass up working time. This next year is so busy already that I wont have time to breath until July. When does the stress stop? So my schedule for the upcoming months...(oh and birthdays are a big thing in my family)
January: New Years, Hayden's 3rd birthday, Sisters wedding shower
February: Zeke's 4th Birthday, Scott's birthday, His mothers birthday, Valentines day, Sisters Bachlorette Party, Scott's Fraternity's 100 anniversary party, Leigh's wedding, Dylan’s Birthday
March: My 30th Birthday, Lauren’s 29th birthday (hers is the day before mine) Scott and My 1 year anniversary, Spring Break and trying to get to Vegas, Renewal for my job (ARAMARK is contracted with OKCPS and our 10 year contract is up and out for bid again, not sure if we will get it again or not.. most likely will but still the thought of not knowing if I'm going to have a Job come June SCARY)
April: Unc's birthday, Misty's birthday, Leigh's birthday, mom's birthday, EASTER
May: Parents Anniversary, Mothers Day, Kelly's birthday
June: Fathers day, Kelley's Birthday

SO I know that the next 4 months are going to be so hectic and hope that things all work out ok. Just wish I could have a month off to myself to do what I want to do and not have to worry about things. Anything. But oh well its life and I could not be happier.

Sorry just had to vent!!!

Some Random Pictures!!!

Ok so it's been a long day and I still have a TON of work to do but I have think on the bright side that I only have 8 days of work left until I'm off for two weeks. SO GO ME!!!!!!!!! Ok so here are some pictures over the last few days.


Mom and I at the Harn Homestead working (taking a break) it's our time to work for their Christmas party they have every year.


My co-workers and I with Santa. We were in charge of helping take pictures and Santa is a good friend of ours that used to work with us at ARAMARK so it was fun to take pictures with him.


So Hayden knows how to make an "H" which is very good for his age (2 1/2) He said he was writing his name and would do the first line of the H (say H) second line (say d) the cross in the middle (say y) OK so he got some of the letters in his name but told me mommy I wrote my name. Good Job Hayden. So all my Christmas cards have a "H" as his signature.


My dad and I putting the lights up at our Church.


Hayden ZONED in on the T.V. watching Grandma got run over by a Reindeer. He loved that movie. So many Christmas movies on this year... I could not get him to pay attention to me so I was able to get stuff done around the house and he sat there the whole movie.






Hayden helping PaPa put the Christmas lights up. He was such a good helper. My child is so wonderful and has to do everything his PaPa does.

Thanksgiving

Ok I know its been a week since I posted anything well I was off work!!! (back to work for 3 weeks then off for 2 again) I love my job!! It was nice to be off all week and not worry about anything.. ok so worked called Monday and Tuesday and Wed I called them to make sure they were still kicking it because I had not heard from them. Come to find out they cant function without me there!!! How can men function with out me. I guess they cant...




Our Thanksgiving was great. We went to my parents house at 10:00 for breakfast and it was yummy. Then left there about 1:45 and headed to Scott's parents for turkey and all the good stuff. It was a long day but fun. I enjoyed being with family both family's. They boys had a great time playing basketball with Scott and my dad and playing in the sand box. Most of you know how my parents back door is with the 5 steps leading up to the door. Well Hayden went flying down them head first. Leigh and I were talking by the pool (which has been redone) and heard my nephew calling "Tia, Tia" (Tia is Aunt in Spanish) so Leigh and I turned around and at the moment Mary (parents dog) went running into the house and Hayden came flying head first down the steps and THUMP on the concrete below. Leigh and I took off running and hurdled the flowerbed as fast as we could. Hayden is fine a little scrape on his face and eye but just fine. He cried for a moment (scared more then hurt) and went to play in the sandbox with Zeke. I told Hayden he was a big tough boy for taken that fall and all he said to me was you and Lou Lou were flying. I guess he saw us leaping over the flowerbed from the patio to the back door. (Leigh and I are a little sore since we have not moved that sudden or fast in a long time)





Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm Thankful for each and everyone one of you.

Papa loves his boys and playing with them every chance he gets.





PS: Girls I have some pictures just need to scan them... It was so much fun looking for them. Memories!

My Sister Getting Married

(took the dress pictures off since it needs to be a suprise)

Ok so Leigh and Cash finally set the wedding date. February 28th 2009! Yesterday I went and picked my sister up so we could go and try on Bridesmaid dresses. Mom and I had gone on Saturday but since Leigh's other bridesmaids are like a size 0 then it's me that has to figure out what I am going to ware. Sine I am the Maid of Honor I can be a little different then the other girls. So I get Leigh and off to Alfred Angelo we go. I try on the dress that all the girls are wearing and its Perfect. I have never seen Leigh so happy and excited. Last Thursday I went to my dad's office and Leigh was in a mood that she didn't want to go meet mom and look at wedding dresses. I told Leigh just go now and I will stay here until 5 and lock up for you. So she left and about 6:30 she is calling me so happy that she found the perfect dress for her. I have never! I mean never heard my sister so happy. She said that when she tried it on she started crying and that made mom start crying. I wish I could have been there but I know that I will cry enough when I see her walk down the isle in only 3 months. It really hit home yesterday for both of us that my baby sister is going to be Mrs. Leigh Henderson in only 3 months. WOW never thought she would finally tie the knot with Cash. Well I new they would just so happy for them. Leigh took me to lunch and we had a great time. Love you sis!

Here are the pictures of Leigh's Dress and what my bridesmaid dress will look like. My dress will be black. Leigh will have a see thru jacket that she will have on and NO gloves. Jamie I will get a pic of Leigh dont have an updated on here at work.

So grown up!

Hayden had been and St. Johns school until July of this year. St. Johns has school pictures every April so he had his taken and they turned out so cute. Then I moved him to the Village Montessori school (loves it best move EVER). Well they have school pictures in the fall and spring. (my wall is going to be covered before he even starts 1st grade) His pictures are too cute. He went from looking like a baby boy to looking like a litte man. Here is how my Hayden has changed in only 6 months the first on is October 2008and the second is April 2008. He is going to be a killer so I better get used to the girls calling.

Most Wonderful Man

So I am back dating this Blog entry to September. September 20Th was Scott and I 6month anniversary. Being a single mom I never thought I would find someone perfect for me and who would understand my situation. Well I did. We took Hayden to Scott's parents house so they could watch him for us and we headed to dinner. We went to the Micky Mantel in Bricktown. Had a wonderful dinner then walked to Starbucks (which is my Favorite and I love it) for coffee on the canal. He got me the most beautiful card ever. He treated me like a queen. Then it was back to get Hayden. It was a perfect night spent with a perfect man.

Scott is more then perfect he is amazing. He has bless my life in so many ways. He has come in to this relationship blind on kids and what to expect from them but has just jumped in like he knew what he was doing all along. He is so wonderful with Hayden. He takes him to the park, picks him up from school, blows bubbles, makes chalk drawings etc. As for me he does everything for me. A while back I was sick and instead of going out with his friends he came over and let me go to bed so I could get some rest and he took care of Hayden and put him to bed for me. Scott does everything he can to make sure that I am happy. He is even sneaky about things too. He helped me clean up in the kitchen the other night and didn't think twice about it, he new that it would help me out and that I would feel better about it being cleaned up.

I thought in March that I was going to be a single mother for the rest of my life and I was OK with that, because Hayden is my life and I wanted to be the best mother I could be. I thought I'm almost 30 and most of the good guys are all gone and ill just be happy with the guy I have (the one that wants me to sing to him, hold him, kiss him, read to him, play with him) then I meet Scott. He changed my world and for the better. He is my angel!

Love you Scott

Potty Training!!!!

OH MY! So my little Hayden is growing up way to fast for me. He will be 3 in January and has 1. already moved to the 3-4 year old room from his 2 1/2 year old room because he is advanced for his age that he was getting board in the 2 1/2 room. 2. He is using the POTTY and wearing BIG boy underwear.

It all started about a month in a half ago when Ms. Carrie said he is ready for some big boy underwear. What my baby growing up NO NO NO!! OK so I knew the time would come sooner or later so off to the store we went to get some Spider man underwear. SO the next day he was so excited to ware his new underwear to school that he went in to school pulled down his shorts and said look at me I have spider man underwear on... I'm a big boy now. Well he didn't make it and messed all 5 pair of underwear I took that day. I knew this was going to happen not a big deal just more laundry to do (not like I don't have enough already). Hayden has done such a good job. He knows how to pee in the potty now and gets so excited when he does. The poop thing that is a different story. He has not mastered that yet but it will take more time. He has done well because out of the 20 pair of underwear he has i have only had to throw away 4 pair (I was just not going to clean it if you know what I mean) I am so proud of my baby or should I say Big boy Hayden.

Yesterday morning we were outside getting into the car..Hayden was by the tree in the front of the house and said "mommy I peed" "Hayden why did you do that? where do we go pee?" In the potty he said.. "why didn't you tell me you had to pee so you could go use the potty?" Mom were outside! I just laughed a bit and said come on lets change you.. on our way in the house he looks at me and says "but mom I watered the tree for you" I died laughing! I just changed him and off to school we went.



PS. Scott showed Hayden how Big Boy's read on the Potty!!!

OMG!!!

I AM THE WEDDING COORDINATOR AT MY CHURCH!!!!!!!!!

OK so I helped with a wedding back in June because the wedding coordinator (Loise) was out of town. I enjoyed and it and pulled it off with nothing wrong or late or messing up. It was perfect. The rule at my church is if the bride has 5 or more bridesmaids, or 200 + guest then there has to be 2 wedding coordinators so that is also how I got the gig in June. Well Robin the Secretary at the Church helped me with it and said that she hates doing them but understands when she has to. So she let me do most of it and she was like my side kick.

About a little over a month ago Robin told me that she had put my name in the hopper to be the wedding coordinator at Chapel Hill because Loise was resigning. I told her I was honored that she thought of me. Well I GOT IT!!!!! I found out last wed night they had just voted. I am so excited!!!

I have been trying to get my side job off the ground and running and this will really help. Also Robin at the church knew about my side company and she offered my name to a lady who wants to have her mothers 90Th birthday party at the church. I was called and she booked me for that party as well. So word of mouth is taking it off and running.

This past Saturday I was at OCU for my friends baby shower and Mom Mary said to bring my cards to her and she would pass them out. If I do parties and gatherings for OCU then I would be set. I am so excited.

So if you need any help with baby showers, birthday parties, dinner parties, just plane party, weddings, scrap books and frames just call me at Collage Event Planning

Fancy Night Out

Working for ARAMARK and being contracted thru the Oklahoma City Public Schools has been wonderful for the last 5 years. This year I participated in a TEAM Campaign for the Oklahoma City Public School Foundation to help raise money for them. The money raised this year was for Student incintives and Great Idea Grants. I was the TEAM Captain for the Service Center. With a lot of pushing and begging and bitching the Service Center raised $3,800 for the foundation. Devon Energy matched all the money raised dollar for dollar. So once all the money thru the District was collected we raised $50K and were Matched $50K. What a great campaign. I was honored to be a part of it.

Monday Lisa Reed with the Foundation invited myself and a guest to the 2008 Wall of Fame Humanitarian Awards Dinner. I was honored to be asked. So Scott and I went and had a wonderful time. I will be helping again with the Foundation as much as I can and will be the TEAM Captain again next year.
