Jaiden 4.0

My boo will be 4 in less than 7 days.  And the hubs has shut down Extravaganza Barbie.  This really needs to be an epic event... no, not that he's turning 4- which is epic without me announcing that it's epic.  But that he's not getting an extravaganza!  WTH!

Oh, my hubs is trying to mold me into a non glitter queen.  But it won't happen!  I'm fighting the feeling!!!!  A party will be had! Somewhere... >:-)

For the Love of Ice Cream

Brewster's has quite possibly the best ice cream. And what's even better is that they offer a free kiddie cone to parents when they bring their children.

I love to bring Jaiden there- as he's developed his mother's horrible sweet tooth! Everytime I go, I get a single scoop on a sugar cone of mint chocolate chip and get Jaiden the kiddie cone with birthday cake ice cream. He loves to wolf down his ice cream then "share" my cone... sometimes- he's even nice enough to give it back. :-/

Anyway... Jai's 4th birthday (I can't believe it) will be in a couple of weeks. Now, extravaganza girl, (that would be me) has been totally slacking on the whole party planning mode. For starters, I can't figure out how to dumb down this dinosaur theme I'm supposed to be working with- because that's what Jaiden is TOTALLY into right now. AND to top it off, we are supposed to be going out of town.

I'm thinking I may do the daycare center birthday party. That way, I just have entertainment to do. I don't think anyone knows how hard an easy birthday party is for me! INSANE!!! I should go retrograde and post pictures from Jaiden's first and third birthday parties- both of which included major set up like I was doing one of my client parties....

At least if I have it at the daycare, I've also eliminated the need for clean up. So, I guess daycare party it is...

Wow... if only I had written sooner...

Life with Jaiden... and CHANDLER!!!

Since it's only been 3 short years since I've written anything... things have happened. First, we moved out of our condo and bought a house. Then we decided we need to fill it... with people.

Chandler Elijah Gayles arrived into our little world on March 12, 2011. Jaiden couldn't be happier with being a new brother! He's so incredibly sweet and loving... until he decides that the crying has got to stop. Then he wants to talk to Chandler man to man... basically telling him, "What are you crying for? You want your mommy? SHE'S RIGHT HERE!!!!" And then there is the classic: "Chandler, you know you're not supposed to pee on yourself. That's just discussing" No, that's not a typo. He thinks it is discussing over disgusting!

Well, I'm in the midst of starting yet- another blog. Why, when clearly I am no good at the 3 that I have? Because these things are free and I feel like I need more space on the innanets (as my husband says). Plus, I feel that I can contribute something a little bigger and bolder on a brand new shining blog. With a cool new name. And different things to write about.

Make no doubt about it. These two little boogers I have are growing up fast as HELL. I mean, seriously people. I took a look at this blog that I could last keep up with when Jaiden was 3 months... then a year... and now he's about to be 4 and we've added another 3 month old to the mix.

Life is good!
