I plead Insanity...

So sorry we haven't blogged lately...I plead insanity! As we all know, we get caught up in everyday madness...Starting with getting up to a crying baby, skip the workout (that we swore we would do no matter what the night before), feeding, playing, feeding, cleaning, driving, calling, getting Diet cokes (best part), thinking of something good to make for dinner, playing...you get the idea. It is just like all of yours. On top of all of it, Rob and I are in charge of our Youth conference for 3 days. Our dear friend Arianne offered to watch our Tommy boy even though he is sick, but I think that would make me the worst mom ever to leave him for 3 days when he is sick and his asthma is acting up. Knowing our luck he would end up in the ER again...like in San Diego 2 weeks ago on our Vacation...Oh yea, did I mention that vacaction, 6 days, Tommy had 2 ER visits and Rob had 1? Tommy with high fevers and Rob with a STING RAY STING?? Rob is still working off that pain. Ouch!

Recovering from our vacation, getting ready for youth conference, we hope our next vacation (which we leave on the DAY we get home form youth confernece) to lake Powell will offer us some rest and Relaxation. So our next blog will be less hectic, I hope. Cause if I have one more ER visit, I might call it quits.

Thomas' First Birthday...Down with the Ducky

RUBBER DUCKY TIME...Yesterday we had Tommy's First birthday party with some friends. It was so fun...except for the weather. We ended up having to have it at the church...bummer. Everything was Rubber Ducky, including his invitation and announcement. We stuck with the theme, since that seems to be the only thing that really excites the kid when he sees one.
We made him a cool shirt to wear all day
He is doing his "sexy" pose here
Rob actually painted this rubber ducky for the "Pin the Beak on the Rubber Ducky". I was so impressed with his skills.
Our "Ducky" punch...with floating duckies
Ducky cupcakes

And Thomas' cake... Yes, I did make this...
I realized later I created a clean freak...he doesn't like to get dirty that much...
Finally I just threw him in it...Then he went for it! I'm waiting for an all blue diaper in the next few days if you catch my drift!

Thomas we are so glad you are our little boy! We love you to pieces and don't know what we would do without you. We hope this next year will be better than your first year...with less crying!

Guy Smiley

Kate went home to California for the week, so I've been rollin' stag/third-wheel for the past week and the majority of the time has been mind-numbing boring. Luckily her little brother, Collin, keeps me up to date with pictures via our handy-dandy iPhones. Here's a pic of Thomas gut laughing at the dog, Madsen. He thinks dogs are hilarious and he'll laugh for hours as they stroll back and forth. Madsen, on the other hand, does not find it humorous in the least.

Easter Bunny

Our friend Sarah sent us this card and said it reminded her of Rob...those of you who know Rob know why she said that...We had a bunny visit here too...SOME BUNNY VERY CUTE...I know that was beyond cheesy...I think it happens after I watch the TLC channel and the Duggers are on? Anyways, Thomas wasn't to happy with me making him wear bunny ears...but wont it be cute for his baby book? The things we do to our kids that we will eventually end up paying for in years to come therapy bills...
Thomas has his top tooth in, and his second top tooth is coming in right now...and pretty far from the first. Rob said he will call him "Buck tooth Bertha".
