Happy 4th Birthday Brayden!!

Happy birthday big boy! Not that you'll read this... Today has already been a big day of fun for our big, little man :) He opened birthday cards from both of his Great Granny's. That in itself is a WONDERFUL present that I'm so glad he has the chance to experience!! I never knew my Great Grandparents. And Brayden has gotten to know 3 of his!! Anyway...we got him a new Lego table (which might have been more for me than him :)) and a plasma car. Carrie (Jim's cousin) and Reagan (Jim's little sister by proxy) told me that this plasma car was a MUST have...and they were right. I will attempt to post some of the video...


I'm not sure if I'll be able to post the other videos...so here some godd ole fashioned digital pics for ya :)


Brayden is obviously telling us he's 4...but, as he revealed earlier in the the day...he just wants to be 5! ..what a nut!


Are these some GR8 new glasses?? ...or the steering wheel to his plasma car??


Here was have Ripstick vs. Plasma Car.


Nat was trying to play like she wasn't interested in playing with the car...but she got hooked too :)

Please see the blog below for hopefully more b-day video...

Hope you all have as wonderful day as we are!!

Happy 4th Birthday Brayden...more video!!

Facebook?

So I've recently travelled outside my Blogger comfort zone and signed up for Facebook. Beth told me that I should try it and that it's fun. I am always leery of sites like this cause I'm always afraid of the content that I DON'T want to see. Like on MySpace... I never signed up for that, but I've looked at a few pages and it doesn't take long before someone is linked up to someone who feels the need to show a boob or butt cheek! I'm not too cool with that!!! I like to talk and find friends/school mates form the past, but I am NOT looking to find soft core porn! No thank you!

Anyway, so I signed up to Face book and it's pretty neat. Seems pretty "safe" too. I have already found a few people I went to high school with.

What's the most funny about all of this is my husband! He sees me signing up the other day and is asking WHY wouldn't you just sign up for MySpace? I told him that I wanted to try Facebook. He was all saying how MySpace was better, Facebook's no different...basically dissing!! :) Then he leaves the room....to go do WHAT???? Sign up on stinking Facebook!!!!!!!!!! I think he's more of an addict than I am now. What a nut!

Here's the link to my page...I think: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?tab=1

Kim - If you read this, could you send me an invite? I can't (for some reason) send you one.

15 mins of my life

I won't be doing a "Day in the Life of Angie"...I'll just give you what happened in just 15 mins of my life. All just random stuff...but funny to me. And you MUST take into consideration, I have NO adult conversation (most days) until Jim gets home...so bear with me and what I think is funny :)

So I'm drying my hair a few minutes ago, turn off the dryer and hear my baby screaming. It's his "I'm hurt/terrified" scream. So I tear out of the bathroom and run into him in the living room. He's screaming "...I get the fire truck off my hair...get it off....get it off...oweee..." My poor little baby has a motorized (GeoTrax) fire truck wound up in his hair :( I'm kissing on him to calm him down and that was NOT what he was wanting. He said "...we gotta go...go get the scissors..." And ANYONE who knows me KNOWS how I feel about getting his hair cut. But I had no other choice. It was wound pretty tight and very close to his head. No way I could work it back out cause the stupid toy was suck and was still winding in and we couldn't turn it off. So I pulled out the trusty scissors and took a precious lock of hair off my baby's head :( Ugh! He checked himself out in the mirror afterwards and told me "...it's ok Mommy, I'm still handsome..." :)

After all the drama we head to his room to get dressed. I pull the shirt over his head and he turns to look at his Buzz Lightyear jacket (that has a pictures of Zurg on it). He said "Buzz Lightyear is on my jacket with his Daddy." (and if you hadn't ever seen the movie...Zurg is evil, Buzz is good...and the story plays out like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Zurg even says the line "...I am you Father...") Brayden then asks me "Why is the Daddy mad?" (cause [of course] Zurg's a bad guy and is making a mad face) I told him that I didn't know. He told me "...maybe it's because he didn't clean his room!" LOL... then proceeds to tell me that Buzz had just ONE racecar and he didn't pick it up... You might have had to be there to laugh at this one. But it was funny!...and so cute.

Have a great day!
