Happy Birthday TY!!

Yay! Its Ty's REAL birthday! The big 5!! The birthday morning started off with a chocolate donut (per Ty's request) with a candle to blow out! Too bad he was just getting over being sick from Monday and only ate half.....but hey....its the thought! His preschool teacher threw him a party in class for which I provided Power Ranger cupcakes (complete with blue icing...i bet she loved that!) and she gave him a balloon and noise makers for all He is so fortunate to have such a great teacher and school!

Tonight we are going to Mr Gattis for REAL birthday dinner! The party is set for our house on Sunday and I still have no idea HOW I'm going to fit everyone in here...but never fear!!!!! The party stuff showed up in the mail today so we are set for decorations!

As I go down memory lane I'll just include a picture from the day he was born..




I was not cool enough to have a digital camera for his first birthday!! hahaha....but here are the rest

ELMO of course!



Buzz Lightyear for his third!




And Pirates of the Carribean for his 4th!

Ty's Birthday!

It has snuck up on me! He will be 5 on the 5th and I am in a mad dash trying to get out invitations. Not too long ago we were in Sam's picking out what he wanted on his cake, and to my suprise he was REALLY wanting Ben 10 instead of Spiderman! I was shocked and just went with it. Well to my suprise when I went online to order invites (the party is 12 days away and I thought I had plenty of time) I can only find a Ben 10 party theme on 1 website!!!! 1 website on the whole universe carries it!!!!! And to top it all off it is going to take 7-10 days to get everything! Man I really hate living in desolate Texas! I cant get anything in this town....I have to travel 3 hours away to civilation or get it online. But don't you worry I did find these SWEET shoes that he is going to LOVE.... I went ahead and ordered party stuff online and am going to have to figure out what in the hell I'm going to do for invitations later! Its amazing the lengths you will go to just to get EXACTLY what your child wants for their birthday! Personally I think they should just be happy to get what they have, but then again I would sound like my mother......so I retract that last statement. :)

Where does he come up with these???

I have come to the realization tonight that my son watches too much t.v. Here is the conversation I had with my child. He has insisted on wearing his Spiderman skates all over the house, and since he was only going to be on the carpet I have not shot down his "bright idea". So he is on his way into the kitchen to get his caprisun from the fridge when his skates his the linoleum and or conversation goes something like this..... T: WHOA!!! Mom: Oh BE CAREFUL! ITS SLICK IN THERE ON THOSE SKATES!! T: MAN, I'M GONNA HAVE TO GET A LIFE ALERT IF I'M GOING TO WEAR THESE THINGS! MOM: A What ?? T: A Life Alert. You know Mom....one of those things that you wear around your neck with the button on it. Mom: (hysterically laughing at this point) Bring me the phone! ( I had to call someone and tell them how funny that just was) T: No Mom! Don't worry it wasn't a "severe injury" just a little fall! ( I think he thought I was going to call an ambulance or something) Mom: Severe Injury? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? (At this point he has scooted around the corner with caprisun in hand) T: Well only use it in case of "severe injury"... That old lady on t.v. said that "Every human being should have one...Your life depends on it"! I couldn't even respond because I was cracking up! My 4 year old has just told me he needed a "life alert" so he could skate around the house and I am crying at how he just spouted off the commercial! He is 4...Where does he pull this crap from! So I guess its going to be more jumping on the trampoline and less TV! Too funny!
