Crazy Busy
One of my friends came over yesterday. She, who is engaged to a guy that is in the military currently in Baghdad, asked me if my life was as crazy busy as hers. Mind you, she came over just as we were finishing lunch. I looked at her and said YES! My days are filled with rushing Justus to the potty so he wont have an accident, cleaning up accidents he has almost daily in one form or another, trying to get both kids fed, watered or otherwise tummies full. Getting them dressed several times a day cause Justus is still mastering the spoon and Haven is still mastering getting it to her mouth. Changing diapers, changing underwear. Laundry for days. Teaching the kids to play together, reading to them, teaching them in general. Answering the phone when important calls come - all this while hoping to have time to get myself ready, fed and time to use the restroom. Now, as all you parents know, these things never happen one at a time so as to get them accomplished in an orderly nice fashion. No, most always it is at least 3 things at once or more. So, not to short change my friend at all cause I certainly remember planning my wedding, working full time, trying to communicate with my soon-to-be hubby (let alone one that is so far away in dangerous places) - I know that is busy too. But something about being a mom - we are just always crazy busy!

Birthday Party
We had Neil's 30th and Haven's first birthday party on Sat night. My sister came over and helped me decorate. We blew up 144 balloons with helium. She is amazing and can do it so quickly. Of course the girls were on hand to help also. We had a Chick-fil-a nugget platter (Neil's favorite) and other yummy food. Cake was of course Eddies (my favorite). We had a fun time hanging out with our family and friends. Of course the most fun was watching Haven walk around in her tu-tu that Whitney made for her and then seeing her eat her cake. The pink frosting was all over! But well worth the mess.

Happy 1st Birthday Tribute
What a great day today is. I got Haven out of her crib this morning and sang her happy birthday. Then a rare treat, Neil came home (he is usually at the office by the time I get the kids up) and said a good morning Happy Birthday to our Darling. Then we went and got Justus up and Justus wished her a happy birthday. I went to a bible study this morn and saw my Doctors wife there, so I thought that was kinda funny. Then home for lunch and now sweet naps. We weighed Haven last night so we could switch the car seat. I got that done earlier today. So I havent taken any pics yet today cause technically she wasnt born yet. Not til 4:06. But until then, here are some of her when she was fresh out.

Tomorrow's The DAY
Happy 1st Birthday to Haven tomorrow!! I LOVE it. No more babies!!!!!! I was already contemplating switching her seat around today - but, safety first. And I only think she is 20 pounds. I need to actually weigh her. Just think, this time last year I was a day away to pushing out my baby girl. My belly was all big and I was soooo ready to have her (imagine that!) I am so excited for tomorrow!! Here is a pic of me right before I went to the hospital to have her.
