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!!!

Football Weekend

Scott and I got all 4 tickets to the OU Nebraska game since my dad was in San Antonio. Leigh and Cash didnt want to go. Scott asked his friend Buddy and his wife Jen to join us. We had a great time. What a game. Kick ass sooners. For those who dont know we have seson tickets on the 30 yard line 5th row behind the sooners. So we get to see everything and hear everything that the coaches tell them. Here are some pictures from the game.

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.

Happy 65th Birthday DADDY!!!

My fathers 65th Birthday was this past Saturday the 18th. Mom asked me to watch Zeke Friday night so they could go out with Friends to celebrate his birthday and Don Bobzines (dad's BFF who's B-day was the 20th) Leigh and Cash were out of town so I said sure not a problem. I went to the store and got cookies, party favors and candy for the boys. We got home and had a great time. They boys then got into bed and watched Aladdin! (my favorite movie) Dad came and got Zeke and Hayden didn't want him to leave. He wanted him to stay and have a slumber party (I'M NOT READY FOR THOSE YET) but with Zeke I could handle it. Zeke went home and mom called to tell me that Zeke wanted Hayden to come and spend that night. Those two love each other so much and are so cute and fun together.

Saturday was daddy's BIG day. I tried to get a hold of him early in the morning but you know my dad he was already on the GOLF course!! Go figure. So we went over for Dinner. daddy wanted to cook out. It was Mom, Scott, Zeke, Hayden and Myself. It was a nice dinner and a great birthday. Dad loved spending it with the boys. (Dad my be able to get the SENIOR discount where ever he eats now) but being at home with his grand boys makes him Young at heart. That was his best birthday ever.

Growing Up!

These last few months have gone by so fast. It seems like yesterday Hayden was coming home from the hospital and now he is walking and talking. I moved him from his old daycare in July to the Village Montessori school and have to say it was the best decision I made. Hayden was learning so much and so fast. One night we were laying in bed and I asked if he wanted to count the starts (glow in the dark stars all over his room) he started counting....1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15 WOW I didn't know he could count that high. (of course skipping a few numbers) He told me he learned it at school. I was impressed. Then about three weeks ago his teacher told me he might be ready for big boy underwear. You got to be kidding me all ready. So I went out and got him 3 pair of spider man underwear....The next day he wore a pair to school and when I picked him up he was back in a pull-up. That's OK he is learning...well now he has almost mastered going to the bathroom by his self and not going on batman, spider man or cars. (he cant get them wet they don't know how to swim, that's what I told him and its working) So it seems that yesterday I was bring home a 9lbs 6oz baby that fit right in my arms so sweetly and today I'm chasing after a 41lbs child that thinks he is a BIG BOY and can do EVERYTHING!!!

Time fly when you are having fun. Just have to remember that in my heart he will always be my baby that fits in my arms so sweetly no matter how old he gets. I know that my mother feels the same way about me... but that's OK ill be her little baby girl and fit in her lap on my 30Th birthday and tell her she still as young as she was the day they brought me home from the hospital.

So even thought Hayden is growing up so fast I treasure every moment I have with him because one day like the wonderful Trace Adkins puts it... "You're gonna' miss this You're gonna' want this back You're gonna' wish these days Hadn't gone by so fast These are some good times So take a good look around You may not know it now
But you're gonna' miss this"
