Happy Birthday Mom!

Just wanted to give a shout out and say Happy birthday to the best Mom and Mimi there is! We appreciate all you do for us and hope you have an awesome birthday ! We love you !!!!

Graduation Day!!

Yes- there was a graduation today...my sweet boy graduated from pre-school and he is all ready for kindergarten next year ( I however know how fast time really flies once they start school as Kels will officially be a senior this Tuesday so I am not quite as ready :( He did the procession great, sang awesome and yes made me cry more than once! We love you H-man and can't wait to see all the great things you will accomplish.

For Nikki

I ran in my first 5 k this morning and while I am not a great runner ( I do it but I neither like it or excel at it ) I actually had a really good time doing it. Kels, her friend Alexa and my friend Kelley (who is a great runner and just recently completed her first half marathon...go Kelley !) all ran it too. The race was a fundraiser for Nikki, the sweetest girl you could meet,that goes to school with Kels and has been battling cancer for way too many years. She was out there to root everyone on and it was so awesome to see her smiling face. I am already researching my next 5k so I guess I liked it more than I realized :) If anyone reads this and would like to make a contribution to Nikki's fund just contact me and I will get the info to you on how to do that. Have a great weekend and LIVESTRONG!

May ??

Are we sure it's May? B/c as I sit here and type this I am wearing a sweater with the heat on and I'm still freezing !! I'm just sayin'..... 2 days ago I thought I was dying of heatstroke after running at 5:30 in the evening and now I'm a popsicle! and my poor baby has his first ear infection :( it's so sad- feel better Majee Moo !!

Paging Dr. Major Thomas

Not sure if I would want my Dr. to wear his stethoscope this way but if he is this cute I might not mind :)

How sad is this face??

This is the face I have to look at every morning while the waffle is in the toaster- he gets very excited to see the waffle as it comes out of the freezer but that quickly turns into this look when it disappears into the toaster- I have tried explaining to him that he cannot eat it frozen but he cares not- he just wants his waffle NOW !!!

Happy 5th Birthday Houston !!

Happy Birthday Houston Wade Thomas- I can't belive my sweet boy is 5 today !! Daddy, Sissy, Maj and I love you sooooo much and hope you have had an awesome birthday- H-man had a great bowling birthday party yesterday and today we went to church and then to "Salsies" (Dos Salsas) to eat lunch- H got to wear the Mariachi hat and everyone sang to him- then we came home and he opened a bunch of presents and now we are putting together 5 million pieces of Star Wars Legos- seriously...he has a slight obsession with Star Wars- these pictures aren't the best but they are the only ones I have from lunch (I left the camera in the car and didnt have time to get it before they came to sing)




yes that is Chezzie with us at lunch- if you know H then you know he isn't often far from his bestest, most loyal frog Chezzie :) and really.... what kind of celebration would it be without your best bud!! I love you with all my heart and soul H-man- here's to many more fun birthday's with Chezzie and may the force always be with you!
love,
your mommy

Dear well meaning stranger,

I would first like to say thank you so much for your unsolicited, crappy comments to me about my 1 yr old son and his lack of socks or shoes, while I waited to get my other son's hair cut. Do you really have nothing better to do than worry about MY child and whether or not he has on shoes and socks?? Because if you don't then perhaps you should come over to my house and/or go shopping with us and follow him around all day so that you can make sure he has on his socks and shoes after he takes them off for the 497th time that day!!!! I mean really!!!! Why dont you volunteer to take some online survey's where people actually want to know your opinion and what you think- as for me...I would prefer if you keep your comments and thoughts to yourself-or you can share with your dog, husband, best friend, mailman, etc. as long as it isn't me !!!

Sincerely,
Irritated mom in G-town

Major Reid Thomas is 1 !!!!

Today !!! Happy Birthday to you Maj-Moo !! I can't believe he is already one- What a ridiculously fast year it has been- Major was such a sweet baby and is growing into a very sweet, yet curious toddler :) tell him no and he just looks at you, smiles and does it again- I'm believing that is the Thomas in him- HA !! Can't wait to see what all he does this next year...We love you sweet boy-
Mommy, Daddy, Sissy and Bro-bro

Happy Birthday Kurt!

Happy birthday babe- I realize you don't get a lot of blog time on here but I just wanted to wish you a very Happy 38th b-day and tell you how much the kids and I love you !!! Boba Fett wanted to wish you a very special birthday as well :)

Look who got a haircut !!!

This was Major's first real haircut- I took him one other time but the girl was so nervous about cutting his hair that I just stopped her halfway through b/c I was so scared she was going to cut him...seriously she was that bad !! So this time I took him to a place just for kids called Cool Cuts- he loved it !! he sat in a little car and they have movies they play for the kids while they are getting their haircut at each individual station-




He looks like such a big boy now!! well I guess he is a big boy now- he is about to turn one so it's time he had a new look :)

Happy 17th Birthday Kels !

I cannot belive my baby is 17!!! well - she has been 17 for 11 days now but...the fact that I am posting about it before she turns 18 should get me some points! Happy birthday to the sweetest, most thoughtful, gorgeous,smart 17 year old I know ( no I'm not biased at all...ahem... but it is my blog so I can write what I want :) She and her friends went to the Gold Class cinemas at the Domain- in case you dont know about Gold Class cinemas ( I myself have not seen a movie there but I have peeked inside the theater) it is a super nice theater with recliner like chairs- they are set up 2 chairs together with a table in between- they offer to bring you a pillow and blanket during the movie and the popcorn is complimentary ( for what the tix cost it is the least they can do :)


they had a great time and I got to have a rare evening out just my mom and I -we had dinner at North( which is always wonderful) and did a little shopping while the girls were at the movie.









Hope you had a great birthday sweetie- we love you lots !!
