HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MY SON!

Well, the day is here! It has come faster than I ever imagined! Today my sweet little baby boy is 3 years old! I swear it was just yesterday I was telling his daddy to follow him to the nursery after they took him out of my room at the hospital. I didn't want to have him out of my sight. The years have really flown by. He dresses himself, goes on the potty and is already a big protective brother. Today is even more special to me than Mother's Day! It's because of this sweet little miracle that I AM a mother. He has really been the greastest and yet the most stubborn at the same time I woudn't trade him for the world!

I hope today is super great for you my son. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thank you for making me a mommy!

Because my Dad has asked...

Here is an entry for you! I don't really have all that fun loving stuff going on right now. I am working on saving as much money around our house as possible. Big Gary switched jobs after being laid off and at times depending on the job is not bringing in the $$ like we are used to! I have been scanning the net and finding all sorts of useful tips from "Cents"ible Swayer blogger mom. She rocks. Just to give you an idea Yesterday I spent 30$ at CVS but with coupons save 6.75 and then got 9.99 Extra Care bucks to spend at CVS later. I will use those on more needed items. All I purchased were essentials toothpaste, mouthwash, toothbrushes. Big Gary is so impressed with me. I am coupon clipping queen!

In one short week my little boy will be 3 years old. It feels like just yesterday I was pregnant with him and counting down the days till I could hold him close. Now he will be 3, and he has a sister who is rounding 1 faster than I can blink. It makes me sad and yet happy at the same time. Gary was always my cuddle bug. Slept on my chest best from day one and napped there quite often. Every now and then we steal a few moments like that. I love when he comes in my bed after Big Daddy has left for the day, we just cuddle and fall off to dream land together. I want those moment to last forever! In just two and half short years he will be walking through the kindergarten doors and probably wiping off my kisses.

We are having a small family get together for his birthday and every day he changes his mind on what kind of cake he really wants! I think I am just getting the Thomas the train cake! I will definitely have a post for that day! So until then....
