Birthdays, Anniversary, & a really Bad haircut!

THE END OF OCTOBER AND THE FIRST OF NOVEMBER IS ALWAYS CRAZY AROUND HERE. WE FIRST CELEBRATE MY BIRTH ON THE 22ND AND THEN ONE WEEK AFTER WE CELEBRATE KYSON'S BIRTH ON THE 29TH, ONE WEEK AFTER KY'S BIRTH WE CELEBRATE TAIGE'S BIRTH ON NOV. 5TH AND A WEEK AFTER THAT NATE AND I GET TO CELEBRATE OUR WEDDING DAY ON THE 14TH!

SO FOR MY BIRTHDAY MY PARENTS TOOK ME AND NATE OUT TO "TEXAS ROADHOUSE" AND THEN AFTER NATE AND I WENT {FAT} CLOTHES SHOPPING TO FIT MY PREGO BODY. IT WAS FUN JUST SPENDING TIME WITH NATE AND TALKING ABOUT HIS "NEW BUSINESS" HE GETS EXCITED WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT IT.

SINCE THE KIDS BIRTHDAY'S ARE A WEEK APART WE JUST HAVE ONE PARTY WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY IN BETWEEN THEIR BIG DAYS. SO ON KYSON'S BIRTHDAY WE TOOK THE KIDS TO "BUILD-A-BEAR" AND WENT AND ATE AT GOOD OL' MCDONALDS.

THE KIDS LOVED PICKING OUT THEIR ANIMALS, BATHING THEM AND PICKING OUT CLOTHES. KYSON NAMED HIS HORSE "JACKEE" AND TAIGE NAMED HER BALLERINA BEAR "GIRL" AFTER WE WENT HOME AND KYSON OPENED SOME PRESENTS.

WE THEN HAD A {CONSTRUCTION PARTY} AND A {PRINCESS PARTY} AT MY MOM'S. I MADE ALL THE GIRLS BROWN AND PINK TUTUS' AND BOUGHT THEM LITTLE TIARA'S. AND FOR THE BOYS I BOUGHT LITTLE CONSTRUCTION HATS. IT'S KINDA HARD HAVING BIRTHDAYS SO CLOSE FOR THE OPPOSITE SEX, THEY BOTH WANTED SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT PARTY THEMES FROM EACH OTHER WHICH I DON'T BLAME THEM.

TAIGE'S {PRINCESS} CUPCAKES

KYSON'S DUMP TRUCK BROWNIES

WE THEN CELEBRATED HALLOWEEN BY DRESSING THE KIDS UP AS A DINOSAUR AND A "PRETTY" WITCH. THEY ARE GETTING SO MUCH FUN THE OLDER THEY GET AND CATCH ON TO DIFFERENT HOLIDAYS AND OCCASIONS

THEN I SURPRISED NATE TO A NIGHT OUT TO DINNER AND A MOVIE "COUPLE'S RETREAT" (SO ASSASTIC!) AND THEN A NIGHT IN PARK CITY WHERE WE STAYED FOR SOME OF OUR HONEYMOON. WHICH WAS A NICE LITTLE GETAWAY, THEN WE DID ALOT OF CHRISTMAS SHOPPING THE NEXT DAY. WAHOO KYSON IS PRETTY MUCH DONE! WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 6 YEARS NOW AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER TO SPEND ETERNITY WITH MY HUBBY NATHAN. HE IS TRULY MY BEST FRIEND AND HE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME AND THE KIDS. HE IS SUCH A HARD WORKER AND A GREAT DAD. LOVE YA BABE!

SO AFTER ALL THE FUN AND EXCITEMENT OVER THE LAST 3 WEEKS, MY SON HAS TURNED INTO A {MONSTER}! I'M SERIOUSLY LOST ON HOW TO CONTROL THE LITTLE GUY! FIRST OFF HE WAS SO NAUGHTY IN SMITH'S THE OTHER NIGHT, THAT I CALLED NATE ON THE PHONE TO TALK TO HIM CAUSE HE CAN USUALLY GET HIM UNDER CONTROL OVER THE PHONE WELL NOT THIS TIME....KY JUST LAUGHED AT HIM LIKE "NO BIG DEAL" SO THEN TEARS STARTED RUNNING DOWN MY CHEEKS. CAUSE I HAD ONE MORE THING TO GET AND I DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH HIM, AT THAT MOMENT I WAS WISHING I WASN'T A MOTHER. (JUST KEEPIN IT REALÜ) THEN SOME HOW HE CLIMBED TO THE TOP SHELF IN MY CLOSET AND STEPPED ON MY CLOTHES HANGER BREAKING IT IN HALF AND RIPPING THE SHELF OFF THE WALL, LEAVING ALL MY CLOTHES ON THE GROUND. TEARS AGAIN STARTED TO FLOW. HE HIT TAIGE ON THE HEAD WITH HIS SCOOTER BC SHE WASN'T LISTENING TO HIM. AND THE BEST OF THE BEST..........

HE DECIDED TO TEST HIS MAD BEAUTICIAN SKILLS ON TAIGE'S BANGS. YEAH THEY ARE COMPLETELY GONE! TEARS HAVEN'T STOPPED SINCE! IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW HARD I SPANK THE LITTLE GUY (WHICH SEEMS TO HURT ME WORSE) OR HOW LONG HE HAS TO SIT ON HIS BED WITH NOTHING AROUND HIM FOR TIME OUT, I THINK I COULD HAVE LEFT HIM ON HIS BED THE WHOLE DAY AFTER HE CHOPPED TAY'S HAIR. (LUCKILY NATE WAS HOME TO ATTEND TO HIM THE REST OF THE DAY!) AND HIS WHINING AND SCREAMING FITS, I HAVE JUST HAD ENOUGH! I FEEL LIKE I DESERVE THE WORST MOMMY AWARD THESE PAST FEW WEEKS, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M DOING SOMETHING WRONG OR IF HE NEEDS MORE ATTENTION, BUT, THE MORE ATTENTION I GIVE HIM IT SEEMS LIKE HE ACTS UP MORE. WE HAVE EVEN THREATEN ABOUT "SANTA" NOT COMING. WHICH SOMETIMES I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO TAKE BACK THE THINGS WE BOUGHT HIM! CAUSE HE DOESN'T DESERVE THEM LATELY.

HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD ALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH A 4 YEAR OLD? I THOUGHT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GET BETTER THE OLDER THEY GET. SUGGESTIONS ARE FOR SURE NEEDED MY WAY! I AM OUT OF IDEAS AND HOPEFULLY I DON'T KILL MY CHILD BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS GET HERE! (KEEPIN IT REALÜ)
