Bye for now!!

Easter Bunny!

This was the picture right BEFORE he started to cry! I like it!!!

Packed full of pictures!!

We had Rays birthday "party" (if you want to call it that) the day after his birthday. We had Alvin's family over for pizza and cake. We really didn't do much. He got lots of presents. My sister in law Dawn took pictures so I only have a couple I took but you can see her slide show here.
The very yummy cake from Walmart, it had SOOOO much frosting on it...

The computer that Grandma and Grandpa Jones got him..

We are really getting some nice days around here so we have been playing out side some. Ray never wants to come inside once he is out, he shows us his temper when we do bring him in! Hopefully soon his new swing set that he got for his birthday will be up and he can play on that. Alvin has his work cut out for him with that just looking at the instructions makes my head hurt!!!
Daddy chasing him..

I love how he is pulling on his daddy's shirt to pull him closer..

Love that smile!!

I took Ray to an Easter egg hunt at one of the girls I work with church. He had fun while we were inside, he danced to the music, but once we got outside he got so upset! He even went to Jamie, her daughter Jillian didn't like that much, but once she explained to her that Ray needed some lovin she seemed to be OK with that!
Waiting inside..

All the eggs, that Ray wanted nothing to do with..

Upset with mommy..

Upset with Jamie..

This picture was an accident but I am so glad I got it because it shows how Jillian grabbed ahold of her mommy's leg when Ray went to her..

I ended up picking up about 6 or 7 eggs for him. Once we got back into the church, he was fine. He's just a crazy kid!!!
The 3 of us went to the Children's museum on Sunday. Ray really liked, in fact he loved it so much that he had a few melt downs leaving "bob the builder" and the fun water thing because we were making him leave. He is getting really good at those melt downs. He also loved going down the slide with his daddy.





We had fun, the girls at work are taking their kids there this week, and I'm not sure if I am up to taking him with out his Daddy. We will just have to wait and see.
Over all its been a pretty good couple of weeks. My bosses arent working next week for Spring Break, so I will have a pretty easy work week, I plan on working a few days. The girls I work with got me a gift card for a salon/spa, so 2 of the days will be spent with me getting pampered! I cant wait, I'm getting a manicure/pedicure on Tuesday and a massage on Thursday, I have never really had a massage so this should be interesting! I will let you know how it goes!!
Bye for now!!!

Thankful Thursday...

I'm Thankful for these guys...and a whole lot of other people!!

Pictures.. take 2..

We went to have Rays pictures done at 9:00am Wednesday, but my little guy didn't want to have ANYTHING to do with that! So they were nice enough to reschedule us to 4:00pm. I was very sceptical as to whether he would do it, but after some serious pressure and a good picture taker, we got some good ones. These are some I didn't get, but they are way to cute not to share...

Football player?

He wouldn't get in the chair she wanted him to sit in, but this one was just right...

His "oh my gosh" face...

I love this one except the goofy look I have on my face. I was not suppose to be in the pictures but we were trying anything to get him to do it...

Yes, I spelled his name wrong. ME I did that, it is such a good picture!!!

I don't know, but I think these kinda look the same, what do you think? I think he's going to tell us all about it with that finger...



2 posts in one week, and we still have a birthday! Please, no one fall off there chairs please!

Bye for now!!!

Ramblings...

We really haven't been up to much. Last Saturday was Alvin's birthday. So Ray and I made him a pineapple upside down cake (gross:) He loves it when his Grandma makes it so I thought I would give it a try. He said it was good but it did taste different. I guess his grandma has the "special" touch. I will leave the pineapple upside down cakes for his grandma. Then Alvin and I went out Saturday night. We went and saw a band that we know the people that play in it. We had a great time, it was good to see people we haven't seen in awhile.

We have a big 2 year birthday coming up this Friday! I cant believe it, I have a 2 year old. That amazes me. Where have these 2 years gone? Ray had his well check up today, he's 26lbs 11oz that puts him in the 38%, he is 35 inches tall which puts him in the 76%, so in other words he's tall and skinny! He was such a good boy! He didn't cry at all, he said thank you and bye to everyone, I was a very proud mommy. Lets see if we get that lucky when I take him tomorrow morning to get his pictures taken. Alvin and I are going to get him a swing set for his birthday. I really think he will enjoy one this year (and many more years) We are just going to have family over Saturday night for his birthday. Nothing real big like I did last year (that was just crazy)

Tonsils anyone? He's not screaming, he was smiling at his daddy and I just caught him with his mouth WIDE open...

I Love this boy so much..

Playing with the front door that he wont keep open, its going to be a long spring if he continues this..

Guess who got grandma and grandpa's door open? Thank goodness grandma was right there so he didn't go wondering. But we put a childproof door nob thingy on our door, you can see what he thinks of it..


I am doing OK, my doctor is treating me for an infection. I was having so pretty significant pain about 4 days after my D&C, so she put me on 2 different antibiotics. I felt better really within 24 hours of taking those. I don't understand why I have such a hard time healing with things like this. I had problems after my c-section and now this. I just want to be done with it and heal, its just a constant reminder of what I lost and I really just want to get on with it so Alvin and I can start again.
As far as emotionally goes, I have my ups and downs. I really believe in my heart that the baby we lost was a little girl, so I am going to refer to her as her. Whenever the sky at sunset looks pink and purple I think of her and it makes me happy/sad. Happy because I know she will never feel any pain and nothing bad will happen to her. Sad because I will never know what she would have looked like (although I bet she would look alot like her brother:) and that I will never get to hold her or see her smile or see Ray with her. I think for the rest of my life when I see the sky look like that I will think of her. Then I get mad when I see some pregnant lady smoking, I really wanted to hit that women!! At least she didn't smoke "in the van" with her other 2 children in it. That was so considerate of her. I'm sure she didn't even give that cigarette a second thought but my heart broke for that unborn baby. I never smoked with this baby and I lost her anyway and it is just makes me so mad! Can you tell I'm a bit bitter about that?

I ordered my remembrance braclet today. This a picture of it, this 1st charm is for date of conception, the 2ND is date of loss and the 3rd is for the due date. My stones will be for December, February and September...

I cant wait to get it. It will be a great tribute to her.

I think thats all for now. I'm going to keep my camera with me so I will have stuff to blog about (with pictures)

Bye for now!!
