Another Wonderful Birthday For The Boogz

The night before his birthday, we grilled meats and baked cupcakes.

Two Cupcakes

This cupcake was decorated by Greg. I crossed out his #fail at writing Boogie.

The day of, Greg blew up balloons and put up streamers.

Jayden greeted his guests completely bottomless. He was convinced he was supposed to walk around in his birthday suit.

He had a little ‘tude all day. Every other word that came out of his mouth was, “No.”

He got it together towards the end of the party.

I didn’t take as many as last year!


Here’s a video recap. Excuse the singing around 1:42.


Thanks to everyone who wished our little guy a happy birthday!

Special thanks to 191 Unlimited for sending over the purple big boy shirt and Wilton for sending us a generous package of cake baking accessories! Stay tuned for a fabulous Wilton giveaway!

Christmas & A Birthday

To update on the last post, the shelves look great in our living room. I got a couple of things from Marshalls to put on them. I’ll have to post a full picture of them both once I tidy up a bit. Greg’s mother sent me an Amazon gift card for my birthday and I ended up spending it on diapers. Go parenthood! We use more disposables than cloth since Greg prefers them. The bridal set came, but it was too small. I don’t know if my finger got bigger or the jeweler measured wrong. It looks like I need to get the set resized from 4.5 to a 5.

boogonchristmas Our Christmas was pretty quiet. We spent it at home together as a family. I had plans of making a nice dinner just because it was Christmas. I got as far as baking the hen. I was still recovering from being sick, so I really wasn’t in the mood to make the cabbage and cornbread. I ended up making some spaghetti with turkey and shrimp though. We don’t stress gifts, so Greg and I didn’t buy each other anything, well I may have snuck and bought Greg something. We didn’t buy Jayden anything since we had gotten quite a few review items that we let him play with before Christmas. The grandparents bought him some things too. Our goal this Christmas was to just avoid stress at all costs and be grateful for another year together.

Birthday Smoochiez Daddy Greg’s birthday was Monday. The inlaws came over with gifts. We all exchanged and then went out to eat at T.G.I. Friday’s. I got some sexy boots, Wii Sports Resort, and a nunchuck. Greg got money, 4 Wii games, and a clippers set. We still have to swap gifts with my mother. She finally moved, so she’s letting the finances recoup. She keeps telling me our stuff’s gonna be late and I keep telling her it doesn’t matter, lol.

022 Dinner was delish. Greg and I had the Jack Daniels Steak and Shrimp. The waiter was super nice, especially after Jayden launched his cup of water and fries on to the floor. Luckily, most of the fries made it on to Greg’s plate. The waiter scored extra cool points when handling the tip. Usually there’s a mandatory gratuity for larger parties. He took it off because he felt that it was the customer’s choice to tip him. Of course he got a nice tip :) .

When we got home, we broke out the Wii games. We may have played Mario Galaxy a tad past sunrise, heh.

Well, that concludes my ramblings for today. Now it’s time to take down the tree and leap into what the new year holds. I’m so excited! More on my goals for the new year soon, none of which are unrealistic.

Random Parenting Tidbit:
When Jayden is out, he really is out. He fell off the couch Sunday and didn’t budge, lol.

He fell off the couch.

Happy birthday to me.

Today is my birthday. I’m 2_. I choose to hide my age not because I’m afraid of being old, but because I expect to be taken seriously. This is something I decided to do once becoming a parent. Those who know my age, don’t blab!

My mother gave me cash, so I ordered a set of shelves I’ve been eyeing on JCP for a while. There’s two pictured, they’re sold separately. Each shelf unit retails for $139 each. They were marked down to $49 each. How about after I ordered them, they came down even lower to $39? *pfft*

Greg surprised me with the bridal set I wanted. It’s on its way. One day we’ll go get our marriage license. One thing at a time.

Greg’s grandmother has a “secret” package coming today. I wonder what it is. We planned on going to T.G.I. Fridays, but I’ve been splurging a lot on Ebay and Etsy, so we’ll go for Greg’s birthday (Dec 28th). We got coupons!

I have so much to write about, but I wanted to pop in and celebrate my birthday :) .
