[.Happy Birthday to Noah's Best Friend!.]

Believe it or not, Connor turned ONE yesterday! I feel bittersweet about it as well. His Birthday means Noah's is just a few short weeks away. Happy, because he has such a personality, he talks, laughs, waves, claps, stands etc-so fun to watch him interact, but also sad because he will never be smaller & only will need his mama less & less as time goes on! Ok, that's not true lol. Anyway, the party was nice. Noah had some nuggets & I was able to eat as well. Sad that his other friend Liam was a no show leaving Noah with no one to play with between everyone holding CJ or him sleeping! Cake didn't go as planned, which is fine-maybe I should have a practice drill with Noah afterall HAHA. It was a great turn out for them they got a lot of $ & presents. Noah won't get that much but its ok because he has all the toys he needs (and that I want to put away! Haha) & I will be happy to be able to sit & enjoy everyone's company since the party is broken into 2 smaller parties. Poor Sara or Phil didn't get a chance to sit or hardly eat! As of now, I am thinking 3 ft sub, tray of pasta, mac salad. I don't want to go overboard with meats on the grill because I don't want someone to have to be in charge of it! Well, the party here @ the house will be BBQ just not @ my Aunt's. I am having a sheet cake & making Anchor shape jello, Pinwheels for favors. I HOPE its a nice day because if not I am in big trouble..my aunt booked my cousin's Graduation Party the day of my Rain date & the weekend after that is Father's Day & then we're looking @ a month later which is not as fun. Yuck!

In other news, Steve & I are starting new jobs in 2-3 weeks! It is going to be a wise move for our family & I am very excited. He will now be in charge of hiring his own men & make commissions off their work as well as full profit off of his own, the cost of equipment is also cheaper & is able to be in the same areas he works in now with the hopes of even closer in the future. He will get an email of all the jobs for the day & I will break them down & route it out to the guys. We shall see.

Our Five year Anniversary is creeping up in a few weeks & we are celebrating with our Romantic Getaway to Cape Cod! Another nice day out so time to get the boy out for some Vitamin D.
