This Guy!!
I think I have officially found a birthday I get more excited about than my own! (and that is saying A LOT!!) I keep typing words and deleting them, I can't quite get out what I am feeling so I will just do my best! I found myself wanting to make his day really special! However, Steve-o and I have a bit of a different philosophy on birthdays. He is sort of a low key, have a little cake, maybe go to dinner and a nice gift, type of guy. I am a go all out, every meal is YOUR special bday meal, surprises around every corner, balloons, banners, lots of presents, cake (maybe even multiple cakes) and every one MUST have a new birthday outfit to wear on their birthday, type of person! So as the little bug's b-day approached we tried to come to a compromise on what we should do. But as the day came I found myself getting a little worked up over the details, I forgot to do this, or I need to get some of this, and one of these!! As I was out shopping for some of these "details" after a few "compromising" discussions with Steve I found my self near tears. As I got to thinking about it I realized I just
wanted things to be perfect so as to reflect my feelings for this little guy but, I may have been going about it the wrong way! I realized I needed to let go of the Idea I had in my head of what I wanted for HIS birthday. And just enjoy the day and the time I had to spend with my family. My life has changed SO much in the last year, sometimes I don't even recognize myself (only sometimes though!) I never would have thought I would fall SO head over heels in love with a bald, big headed, blued eyed, little guy!!:) I feel like I am so lucky to have the opportunity to be Hayden's mom. Obviously I could go on forever on why he is so great (as all mom's could I am sure!) but that is not the point I am trying to get at here! I guess what I am trying to get at here in my rambling is that sometimes I so easily can find the things in my life I don't have or wish I could have...but this week I have felt so lucky and blessed to have Hayden in my life! He has changed both Steve and I so completely! He has helped us both find motivation to complete goals, and work harder! Now I may not have found my perfect "Charlie Brown themed" party I had imagined, but I think I may have found my "perfect little Charlie Brown!" (I think Hayd looks a bit like charlie brown! come on the big, bald heads! they could be brothers! :) Now I am not saying my life or my family are perfect!! Cause we ALL know that's not true! But I think they are perfect for ME! (there is a difference!) I am glad for birthdays! They let us celebrate the ones we love! And remind me of how lucky I am to get to spend another year with someone I love, you just never know how much time you may have!! (sorry if this is confusing! It is late!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATER!!! LOVE!!

Hey, robyn. I have an invite on my blog. I'm having a Jewelry party at my house this week. The lady makes her own pendants and then you can hook them to one of her chains or one you already have. It would be a PERFECT Mother's day present to yourself:) I would LOVE LOVE to have you come.
