Today is the day I became a mother. Jayd Rene was born at 8:41 a.m. weighing 6 lbs. 14 oz. 19 in. long. She was perfect! So tiny and dark and perfect! I loved her more then I had ever loved anything before and I had just met her. I was going to be everything to her. i was going to be the mom that my mom wasn't able to be.

I took all the parenting classes I could before and after she was born. I was going to be the expert! And I was, with allot of help from my mom. Jayd was my world! Everything I did was for her. She brought my mom and I together after so many years apart. She was our Angel. If it wasn't for her I have no clue where I would be or what would have happened between my mom and me.

She was an amazing infant and an even greater 10 year old. I am blessed to be her Mom. There is no greater job that I could do. She made me the woman I am, she completed my life. She made it worth living and living right. Through her I reclaimed my relationship with my mom, built one with her dad, and found God again. I am the one blessed to be called her Mommy.

(I know these pics are blurry, sorry.)

Poor me

I'm sick. I feel terrible. I need sympathy.

I thought I was just tired form the party but when I woke up on Sunday with and ear ache, sore throat, body aches and headache. Well I knew I was sick. So here's to getting better.

Lots of fluids and lots of rest. Oh and plenty of cold medicine!

Turning 10

Today Jayd had a couple of girls stay the night to celebrate her turning 10 on the 11Th. Not a party at first but that's what it turned in to! LOL We had a pinata, Guitar Hero battles and swimming! I am beat, the girls were up til' 3:00 a.m. doing make overs! But no time to fret we have another friends party to get to. So here's a couple of highlights from the evening.

Oh and by the way the pinata was impossible to break. The kids tore it out of the cieling while hitting it so I had them all tear into it and it still took awhile for them to get into it!

Movie Night

Yesterday Nick had a great success at work so we decided to celebrate. We ordered a pizza and rented a couple of movies. LOL I rented The Lucky Ones for us after the kids went to Bed and Labyrinth for us to watch as a family. The Lucky ones looked really good on previews but was actually really terrible, you know the ones where you are just sitting there waiting for something to happen. And nothing does! It was terrible, really. But The Labyrinth however, was as good as when I was a kid. Ace loved it! He was cracking up through the whole thing. There is nothing cuter then hearing your kids giggle non-stop through a whole movie.*sigh* ;) Nothing like the wild life of parenting!

A day with the Boy

Today my mom and I took Ace to see Bolt at the $1.50 movies while Jayd was at a Birthday Party. It was such a cute movie! I strongly recommend it to anyone with kids or just in the mood to see a good cartoon. We had a blast and went looking for any good deals at the mall. Ace and I each got a sweater for $3.60 each. Gotta love a good clearance sale. Then picked Jayd up and had dinner. Not to exciting but really relaxing. Tomorrow Ace has a dentist appt. at 8:00 a.m. so wish me luck! He has to be sedated so he will be out of it for the majority of the day. Maybe I will get a video of him while he is out of it!
