Happy Birthday my Honeypoo

It has been a minute since i've posted pics ... and it's because i've been slacking on picture taking

but I was good and whipped it out for his birthday and captured some great moments

(ps ... i now remember how fun it was to take pics and I have to be better about taking them now)

Happy Birthday to our now 7 year old son!! 

I can't believe that you're 7 and that soon you'll be of baptizing age.

you have grown so much with us ... as we learn how to (any and everything) with you

you are so patient and loving

so caring and supportive

so willing and just wonderful

Daddy and I are truly blessed to have you in our lives

we went to daddy's restaurant for his birthday dinner ... his choice

the ride is about an hour long and he knows that ... so he dressed comfortably so he could nap in the car

this is what he looks like when he sleeps ...

i love that he always puts his feet up on my middle consule

he is just the cutest

Daddy surprised him with balloons and decorations at our dinner table

it was too cute and just the best

and it was nice to have our family party in a private area

how cute right?!!

let the hamming up begin!

these two ... for as much as the say they don't like their pictures taken sure are animated when the camera comes out

Kekoa loves the bread and oil ... his favorite

and he loves his pizza ... birthday dinner!

we already had a cake ... and for our small family we didn't need anything big

so Daddy had 3 cake pops, strawberries and ice cream for our birthday boy

Daddy got him one more gift ... and Daddy did a great job wrapping it

Tissue!  Toilet paper!

 

Our birthday boy is just the greatest ... on his birthday and any other day

we absolutely love our little ... or not so little ... man so much

and we can't wait to see how he adapts to his soon to be new role

Big Brother!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Surprise!

Guess who came in yesterday to surprise us with a random visit ...



This handsome fella right here ^  : )

It's funny cause nothing is relaly happening for me ... but it is Kekoa's birthday on Monday (8th) and our Papi's birthday on Wednesday (10th) but everyone knew about him coming!  haha ... it was such a nice surprise yesterday to see him ... AND

he brought his lovely girlfriend.

He's been dating her for a few months now ... 7-9 months ... can't remember.  ANYWAYS.  they both came out just for a week of fun!  How awesome is that!  i'm excited to spend some time with them and just relax.

Kekoa loves having his Uncle around ... especially since we only see him a few times out of the year AND he's been a little bored with just me since his Aunt Bel and Uncle 'Noah left for school ... so this will be fun for him.



i wish

this pregnancy is killing me!  I have been soo extremely tired and exhausted ... my list of "to do" has grown by the minute and when i feel like i've made a dent in it I turn around and see that i may have crossed off this and that but it grew by another 10 more "to dos"
it sadly has come to a point where I can't keep up.  the house is really just a mess and makes me cry every time i come home to it.  i have so many things left to do before I can tackle something else but i just never have the time or energy to do it.  and trying to maintain my sanity for the sake of my son, my husband and my unborn ... i have no more left. 
i really want to take a few days off or at least have my work hours cut so I can use that time to
1 REST - like i said i have no energy left and am just left tired and exhausted at the end of every day.
2 use those days to play catch up on my "to do" list and hopefully and ACTUALLY make a dent in it.
3 make my house a home.  our walls are still bare, some of them still need to be painted, and i have pictures and i have frames but not all together. 
4 to actually be there for my boy.  i have been craving the need to be "mom" and not the working mom ...
5 get ready for my unborn ... i have all my ideas and soon "stuff" will be coming in and i'm not ready at all.  i need to get the room ready, the house ready ... my body ready.  i'm just so tired. 

i wish i had more time in the day ... in my life ... a bigger house ... more room ... more hands ... more ...
