The party

My baby boy isn't such a baby anymore. He turned three last week and he got his big boy bed and this past weekend we gave him a birthday party and made it more official. He is three years old now. I can barely remember him as a newborn, thank God for pictures. He has gone through a lot in his short life and I love him more than anything. We went to Chuck E Cheese for his party and he had a blast. He played just about every game in there. He climbed all in the playstructure. I wasn't sure we were going to get him back from that. He hardly ate anything cause he was so excited. He ripped through his presents faster than I have seen him do anything in a while. He was so damn cute. We went home and he passed out two minutes into the drive. We played with his new tee-ball set when he got up. The boy is a born pitcher. All in all it was a great day.

The bed

I finally caved and bought the hellion a big boy bed. I have been putting it off for forever because he never climbed out of the crib and I didn't want to deal with keeping him in the twin bed. I was soooooooo right to dread it. I picked him up from his dads tonight and we got home late. So we played with Nini (my sister) for a bit then it was bed time. The child was not at all tired and I wanted to pass out already. We read two books and than the fight began. 3 cups of water, five moves from bed to floor back to bed, numerous tears (mostly mine) and the boy is finally asleep. Please pray for the rest of the week.

Yeah, I am mean.

The hellion hates getting his haircut, but it was so past time for it. He was getting rather shaggy. So my sister and I took him to Master Cuts today. The entire time he is saying, "no haircut, no mohawk" cause sis and I have been wanting to get him one forever. Well despite his complaints we got him a "babyhawk" as a friend put it. He is so damn cute!!!! We are going to the Rays game tonight so he will fit right in.

Atlanta and UFC!

This was the best vacation I have had in a very long time! I had a blast in Atlanta with my brother and a couple friends of ours. We drove up Thursday night after everyone got off work. We got there around 2am and checked in at the Hilton! I love that hotel. We felt slightly out of place, it was the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. We were on the 17th floor. The elevators were the cool ones you can see outside in. Friday we went to the Aquarium and that place is amazing. I am going back to Atlanta just so I can take the Hellion to that Aquarium. It was amazing. It was well worth the price. We spent a couple of hours there, then went to the Underground. It is a mall under the city. It was pretty cool. We hung out in an Irish pub there then headed back towards the hotel. There was a bar almost right across the street from the hotel so we went and hung out there. It was fun but damn expensive. $14 for a pitcher of beer. That is crazy. Oh, let me say we walked EVERYWHERE! I am serious, it was great. We got a ton of exercise this past weekend. Everything was within walking distance of our hotel. Plus the weather was perfect while we were there. It wasn't blistering hot and it didn't rain. We spent Saturday hanging at the hotel mostly. It was nice to relax by the pool and sleep in. Saturday night was the fight. I still can't believe we were there. I can't believe I was actually at an event. Our seats weren't great but we could see everything perfectly. My camera jut wouldn't zoom in enough to get good pictures. The fights were really good except the main event. Chuck Lidell and Rashead Evans fought. Evans won which pissed me off. He knocked Chuck out and he was out for almost a minute. I thought I was gonna cry. I was so sad my boy didn't win. He is who I really went to see. It was still fantabulous though. Sunday we drove home, stopping off to pick up the hellion from his dad. All in all it was an incredible weekend and I won't be forgeting it for a while.
