So it has been a fun few days.
I am super grumpy today and don't know why. Well I think I might of figured it out. Maybe more then some want to know. I am really frustrated with my body. Why cant it be "normal" I just want to be able to have another baby and not have problems conceiving him or her. I am really hoping for a her. Well onto other things.....
Shawn got into an accident with MY truck yesterday. He is fine, Everyone else was fine. I am more upset about the ticket and how much money this is gonna cost us. The funny thing about NV is when you get a ticket you have to go to court or call no matter what. They don't put the cost of the ticket on the ticket it self. I think it is interesting. I told him to go in his uniform as they seem to give pity to the military here. When he got home yesterday he had 10 bucks in his pocket. He gave it to me. I thought it was funny. How is 10 bucks going to help me ??? I don't want to take things from him but at the same time I don't think that Kayden or I should have to go without stuff either. O I thought well this means I will really go back to work. But should I be the one to solve his problem or should I let him do it. I am trying my darnedest to not be mean and know that this too shell pass and we will be fine on money we always are and in a year I wont even remember it.
So I meet a new lady yesterday, She has a daughter that is 5, So quite a bit older then Kayden, We are gonna meet at a park on wed to let the kiddos play. Kiddos of all ages love to play at the park so I think it should be fun for the both of them. Me meeting more people is not a bad idea either. I love my mommy group I have now. It is nice. When Jess and I first started it I did not think I would like the idea of it being on set days and set times and so structured. Well come to find out that is what works best for us too. I got out of that group when I did not think it was gonna work for us and Jess was nice enough to let me join again. I LOVE IT. Kayden Loves IT !!!!
So other then Shawn breaking my truck there is not much new in our world. I know we really want to go see my parents this summer but don't know if we will be able to wring it now. That bums me out A LOT, I know it bums Shawn out a lot too as it was mostly his idea. We will see how much we get back on our income tax refund and go from there I guess. I am hoping I get to file soon. There is some CC I would love to get paid off. I know it will be done before the 15th of Feb for sure.
Well it sounds like Kayden is getting into stuff he should not be. Have a good weekend everyone and DO SEAHAWKS !!!!

Long time no.....
So I know it has been a really long time since I have written
I will start off with our Christmas - It was wonderful - We had a great time with my parents. Shawn even wants to move there. We took Kayden up to the Mountain so he could play in the snow. After he realized that gloves are a must in the snow life was good. Shawn and My Dad went back up on Christmas day to play more. They did not stay long as the elevation gets to you. We also got to take Kayden to the Zoo Lights, I wished would could of stayed longer but Kayden got cold. A cold baby is not a happy baby. I was panicking while we where there, I had gotten his gloves out of the back of the jeep, I thought I had put them in the stroller, I could not find them so chalked it up to lost gloves and we would go get him a new pair. Well we get back to the jeep to leave and there they are. I was so ____ insert any word you like. While at the Zoo he got to feed the giraffes, He enjoyed that. We got to spend quite a bit of time with my dad, I thought he was gonna have to work most of the time so that was nice. Shawn Loves the shirt he got from my parents and I love the necklace they got me. We cam home the Friday after, I did not want to leave(Neither did Shawn). The only thing it is missing for us is the ocean.
So Kayden is getting huge, He is grown almost 2 inches since Halloween, I am not looking forward to finding new pants and shoes are just expansive. The price of being a parents. I would not trade it for anything. I forgot to mention that while at my parents house Kayden learned how to climb out of his play pin. We thought he would be ok in his crib, The first night was fine. The second night we took a trip to the ER as he fell out and hit his little head pretty hard. Every thing was fine. I was more scared then anything. If you have ever been to my house you know we have hard floors. Really Hard Floors. While in the ER the Dr said well this means he gets a new bed, I just wanted to kick the Dr and tell him no shit. I kept my mouth shut. The next day Shawn converted his bed for him and now he is in a toddler bed and for the most part happy. I miss my 730 bed time. Now it is any where from 830 to 10 one night. He is sleeping in a little longer and that is nice. Also we are on day 6 of no paci expect at bed time. He does not miss it that much I think. Over all he is doing really good. Talking and signing more. He says more words then I can count and signs - More, Please, All done and eat. Please is a new one. I still know he does not know how to use the words and what they mean but we are working on it. It is a constant work in progress. We are also starting on our ABC's his fav is O. He screams it at the TV when WOF is on. Too Cute I tell ya.
So as for me and Shawn. Opps I mean Shawn and I. We are doing great. Shawn test for Tech on Feb 28th. We have decided that we want one more baby. Well my body is giving us hell and we have been pinned with the label of infertility . We are gonna start with different meds and see where that gets us. I hope it does not take too long. I hate waiting for this kind of stuff and we really want more one. I know a lot of people wonder how this is possible cause we have a happy healthy baby boy. I asked her about it and she said it is common. I will keep you all updated on how this stuff goes. Shawn and I have also decided that we are not traveling for the holidays for a long while. It did not feel like the holiday season to me and it sucked. I also felt like I cheated my family by not being home. It will work for this next year as it is people turn to come see us. HINT HINT to the grandparents.
That is all I can think of for now. I am gonna try to get back on track with up dating this thing again. I will also post some pics tomorrow while Kayden is down for a nap.
Lots of Love

The Letter B
This issue is brought to you by the letter B for BAD DAY !!!!!
I am having a VERY bad day today, Well it started yesterday.
The only good part of today was Shawn has home, His leave for Christmas started today.
SO on to my bad couple of days...
It all started back in Sep, I went to the dentist to and found out I had to get a root canal, Ok fine, Shame on me for not taking better care of my teeth. Aunt Becky has already told me that. Not only getting one I needed a double one. fine had it done all fine and dandy or so I thought. The Dr did his work and said we will see you back tomorrow to do the crowns. Now on this first visit I was just given a bill for 850 and some change. Nothing else. I expect when I am getting a service done be it my nails or hair or teeth or anything for that matter that I be told about the TOTAL charge for everything up front. before any service is done. This was not done. So now I have 2 teeth, 4 and 5 if you are wondering that have had a root canal and been prepped for crowns. with no crowns on them because the next day I went in and was told it was gonna be an extra 1200 for the 2 crowns. Needless to say I lost it.
So since Sep I have been in pain and not enjoying eating as much as I should be. I finally decided to call the dentist office to let them know about the pain I had been having, Well what happened was just what I was not wanting to happen, A fight. In talking to my super smart aunt that just got done going to school for dental stuff told me that she bets me 1,000.00 that my RC failed. I don't really know what it means but it does sound good to me. I also will take this time to inform her I plan an holding her to that bet.
The main reason I am mad is because I was not told about the TOTAL cost up front. I feel I should of been. I think it would of changed the outcome of the situation.
So tomorrow I had to cancel my appt for my follow up with the head Dr ( I get migraines ) That appt was at 710 am. I have an appt tomorrow at 4 pm with the dentist so they can tell me what I already know. I don't know where we will be going from there. But I am not happy about the while thing. I can tell you that much.
Now some people may ask why I did not just keep both appts. We live on the other side of town from both appts. I am not wanting to go back to that side of town 2 times in one day.
So vacation is getting closer. We are not at all ready for it. I have not started packing. I still have to make my dad his bread. I was going to do that all tomorrow. I guess I will be doing it in the morning and not in the afternoon.
Sometimes LIFE SUCKS !!! But dinner sure does smell good :)
I will let ya'll know how my appt goes tomorrow.

SHOES
Do you ever have those days where you sit and do nothing ?? That was us yesterday, I loved it.
Today on the other hand was not so lazy, I had to mail Shawn's Parents there Christmas present from Kayden, We waited in live for almost 45 mins just to mail one package. Someone remind me next year to not wait that long. It was crazy !!! A lady Shawn works with was saying she was going to the post office, He told her she would be there for a while, She did not think she would be. I cant wait to see what she tells Shawn tomorrow. She was in for it. While we where at the BX I decided to get my self a small crock pot, I have a hugh one and it is not good for small meals, It is good for like chili and shops and stuff like that. We also had lunch with Shawn.
Tomorrow Shawn work is having a pot luck for some people going away's. It is a crock pot cook off. I am making Chicken Fajitas for him to take to work, They are really yummy !!! I hope we win. Kayden and I are not going to be joining them for lunch, We are going to a place called Peter Piper Pizza with the baby group. It is always fun there, Sort of like a Chuckie Cheese.
On a side note my son is really strange, After dinner we were sitting around, He brought me one of his house shoes, I put it on and told him to get me the other one, he then brings me one of his crocs, The one that would go on the foot with no shoe. He likes to wear shoes, He also knows in the morning if I put his shoes on then it is time to go and he waits at the door for me, What a smart little boy he is.
Well nothing else is new with us, We are all getting super excited that vacation starts in 4 sleeps.

A Monster turned Angel
it has been a couple of days, Life has been pretty boring around here, Kayden has not learned anything new.
I will say I don't understand him one bit, One day he is being a little monster and the next day he is a perfect angel. Can someone explain this to me.
Today was his great Aunt Vals Birthday ( HAPPY BIRTHDAY) and it is Heidi too. ( HAPPY BIRTHDAY). Well we decided that we would go out for dinner with Aunt Val and Uncle David and whole bunches of people for her birthday. we where not going to take him but our sitter was not feeling good so he got to go with us. Most of the time when we go out to eat he does not let us enjoy a meal. What a sweet little boy he is. Well tonight he was PERFECT, Yes I said PERFECT the whole time we where gone. He improved on his dipping skills, Ate limes, Salsa, Crab and Whipped Cream. I was telling Shawn on the way home I was so proud of how well behaved he was. I wish there was some way to let him know how proud of him I was.
Most of you know we are not buying Christmas for anyone this year and it really bums me out. I LOVE shopping. I did not want to go down to my parents house and not have anything for them. I know if I spent a lot of money they would be upset as they understand on our one income we don't have a bunch of money. I decided that we would make a present for each grandparents. I wish I could tell you all what it is but them his Grammy would know and we don't want to spoil her surprise. Shawn got to help make them today, He has never helped with craft time before. I don't think he will be helping again. But I am excited to give them all there presents. I hope they like them as much as I do. Speaking of that I should of made one for myself.
We leave to go see my parents next Friday !!!! I am so EXCITED !!!! Shawn is off work starting Wed, I told him I am taking that day off, I don't plan on getting out of bed, We will see how long that last for.
Oh and we were talking tonight on our way home from dinner. I am thinking about going back to work PT at nights while he is at home. I really want to go back to work but I don't want to have to put Kayden in day care. Shawn is gonna take a day off in Jan so I can look and we will see what happens.
That's enough for tonight. Hope you all are having a good weekend. I know we are.

The monkey has a TEMPER
I swear it is getting worse, and I have not a clue who he got it from, I was never that bad !!!
Yesterday we where in the store picking up a couple of things and he was screaming at the top of his lungs most of the way though the store cause I put chips in the cart and did not open them to give him any. I know I am a mean mommy, He had just calmed down when we got to his favorite snack I threw it in the cart hoping he would not see, No such luck, and he let loose again. Screaming at the top of his lungs. Thank heavens it was just a quick shopping trip so we could go though the 15 or less line. some lady was behind us staying quite a ways back, It is not like he stunk or anything, he was just screaming at me. Well when she got closer she said " well someone is not happy today" Well thanks Lady I had not noticed he was screaming and pist.
So I ask everyone - WHY must people state the obvious ? ?
Second question - Does my cute little Kayden look like a girl ? ? I am getting so tired of people saying what a cute little girl. He wears BLUE not PINK, Yes he has cute little curls, but they are not long. I ALWAYS get " SHE is so cute " I always respond. Thanks I know HE is.
Needless to say we paid for our groceries and came home. Kayden went straight to bed and was a much happier little boy when he woke up. He had only been up for maybe 3 hours. In the afternoon he is up for 5+ hours before bedtime and most of the time does not act like that. Maybe we will have to stick to running errands after nap time.
Today he had a temper again. We had playtime today with our friends, We made a hand towel with his hands and foot prints on them. HE does not like painting, I think we are going to limit what we do with paint for a while. He screamed the whole time we where doing it and even while I tried to clean him up. He still has paint on him. oh well. The towel did turn out cute, I will post pictures later. After we painted he got to play some more, They had a fish tank at there house, He loves the fish tank, but he kept hitting it and I did not want him to hit it, I would tell him to play nice with the fish and have him sit down if he hit the tank and he would.... you guessed it.... SCREAM. after 3 times of this I decided we needed to go home, I was done with the attitude. Well I had to get him dressed. and it started again. I asked the moms if there kiddos every did this, They all said of course. Makes me feel like I am not alone. HE came home and went straight to bed again. he is up eating lunch and is happy as pie. He might go run a couple errands. I want to get more diapers cheap. I told you I have a bad habit that if I can find it cheap I do it.
Just ask Shawn about the soda that needs condoms :)
I have a bunch of stuff to do tomorrow so I hope that he will make it and not start with the tempers again.
