My spoiled Hubby

Have I mentioned lately how incredibly spoiled my husband is? Well if I haven't, he is! I mean like seriously spoiled LOL. Which I don't mind so much since most of the time I'm the one doing the spoiling! I don't know what would happen if this poor guy came home and dinner wasn't done or started. Pretty much the only thing he has to do is kill bugs and take out the trash. What a harsh life right? Well I figure its the least I can do since he goes to work everyday and has given me the great joy of being a stay at home mommy while my little man is little! Although he has said he's gotten use to this treatment and I'm never allowed to work again! We'll see about that ;).

But besides me spoiling him with gifts and everything I do, but my family spoils him like crazy. They get him the most amazing gifts for birthdays and/or Christmas. He's gotten all kinds of tools, car gadgets, paintball guns, and who knows what else but some pretty neat stuff. His newest gift for his birthday this year was a beer brewing kit! How freaking neat right?!?! Well his is the proud guy with his kit! (Plus baby boy bought him an extra ingredient kit for Father's Day! Can we say super spoiled LOL) I'm glad my whole family loves him though :)

Playing Catch Up!

Oh man so much has happened since my last blog! Nathan's first birthday party, my mom coming to visit and the places we went with her. Nathan's first pic with the Easter bunny and then this weekend his first Easter egg hunt. We also went to a birthday party and Nathan picked up his first candy from a broken pinata! I'll try to be good and not overload this post with pics, but we shall see!!

As many of you know Nathan just turned one! We were suppose to have his party at area D and decorate it cute and have the playground for the kids to play on but as things turn out someone didn't pick up the key in time. I mean I can't be mad at him since he had been working crazy hours was on night shift and what not but I was still pretty pissed, so last minute we had to switch the party to the house. Our tiny little house, but in the end it all worked out pretty well. Nathan had a blast, ate a cake himself, made out with a billion and one gifts, kids ran around like crazy, helped him open his gifts, sang happy birthday to him. It was great!

The birthday cakes I made. The top one was just for Nathan :)

He makes the funniest faces!

Told ya he made out and he's still getting more stuff! what a spoiled little man!

Then Grandma came a couple days after his party and he got to open another gift. We took grandma to Venice, Trieste, and Fregona. My wonderful hubby took a short day trip with her to Croatia and they had a blast. We spent a lot of time at home because we were all exhausted, it wasn't fair to baby to drag him everywhere, and plus grandma just wanted snuggle time with the most handsome little man alive! We had a great time with her here and Nathan just adored her. It was hard for Grandma to leave her tiny man behind though...

opening another present from grandma! #4!

Nathan doesn't like to walk in those sandals

He is always such a great sport when we're traveling!

Nathan played on the playground with grandma and grandma helped him learn how to gather candy from a pinata! He had a blast and freaking loved the swing! After the birthday party we went and met the Easter bunny for the first time! He loved the Easter bunny! Sorry Santa we know he balled his eyes out when he saw you!

then he figured out what to do but had to taste everything first!

He loves the swing!

so cute!

We've had a lot of fun over the last month with birthday parties, grandma visiting, meeting the Easter Bunny. My poor baby boy even had to get shots while grandma was here! He absolutely loves his grandma even more now that he got to hang out with her for a couple weeks! Now we're looking forward to the Easter Egg Hunt and a quiet Sunday home together :) I will definitely post pics tomorrow after the hunt!

1st Birthday Officially

Today is officially Nathan's first birthday! He is such a big boy now :(

A recordable book that his Godfather/Uncle Stevan recorded for him. Bright & Beautiful A Child's Blessing and he loves listening to it!

He's also gotten a few gifts from my mom but they're wrapped waiting for his birthday!! So no pics yet!

My mom did send this LeapFrog Birthday Cake to him which is so stinking cool!! The candles light up and it sings and you actually low out the candles!! How stinkin' cool is that?!?!

The hubby's parents have sent him a card and gift as well that he's already opened hehehe...yeah I can't wait for the most part so I let him open stuff lol.

And I've been working on stuff for his party. We are doing goody boxes instead of goody bags and I made centerpieces with his pictures (the ones I ordered they couldn't fill so I had to come up with something!)

I'll post more at the end of the month cause I'm sure he'll get more things! Plus his birthday party is coming up as well :)
