Jonathan's Birthday Party

So Jonathan had his 2nd B-day party today and being so busy, i forgot to get my camera ready and take pictures. Im kinda bummed out about that cuz i decorated the house with football stuff and it was so freakin cute. We had a football themed party. We grilled out and i made little football rice krispy treats and Jonathan was even wearing the cutest Kansas City Chiefs jersey. Everything was perfect and i of course forgot the damn camera. Thank God for my dad cuz then i wouldn't have any pictures. As soon as i get them i will post the pictures.

Can You Believe It?

I'M DONE!!!!!

August 21, 2008 was my last day of school! I finished all of my Externshp hours and I am now getting paid for working as a Dental Assistant. I just seriously ccan't believe that i have no more tests to take, no more home work to do, and mostly no more working with out getting paid!!! Im so glad i had great teachers(Kristin and Jill, love you guys!) at Vatterott who pushed me to do my best and made learning fun and going to class everynight a pleasure. I can't not thank them enough for everything they did for me.

I'M FINALLY F$#*&ING DONE!!!!

My Poor Son :(

I thought i would update everyone on what my past week and weekend has been like. Well starting Monday morning of last week, Jonathan wakes up with his eyes goobered shut and one of his eyes were smaller than the other. didn't really think anything of it, so i took him to day care, told them about his eyes and said if it got any worse to call me at work. Everything was fine Tuesday except for goobers in his eyes. Wednesday he started to get a little stuffy and developed a cough. I let it slide because i figured it would get a little worse before it got better. I was completely wrong. By Friday i was taking him to the Dr.'s office because his coughing was keeping him up at night. well Dr. Shawn said he had a bad cold and PINK EYE IN BOTH EYES!!!! He prescribed Jonathan some Tri-vent for his cough and Vigamox for his eyes. (And to warn all mothers, if your child gets any prescription that are eye drops...good luck getting them in!) Anyways, before leaving, Dr. Shawn says "if he spikes a fever give me a call and bring him back in." The weekend went fine. He was acting normal and no fever. Had a little trouble sleeping at night, but when he woke up no eye goobers. Well Monday morning i took him to daycare and about 11:45am they call my work and say that Jonathan has a fever of 101.6 and i need to come get him and i can't bring him back until he has been 24hours free of a fever. i called Dr. Shawn and he was not in Monday so i had to wait until today (tuesday). Since the time i brought jonathan home monday until this morning he slept non-stop only waking up once to eat dinner. And if a 22 month old is sleeping all day and not playing, you know there's gotta be something really wrong. So i just came back from the Dr.'s about an hour ago and Dr. Shawn told me that between friday and Monday he developed an ear infection on top of his cold and prescribed me two more meds for him! My poor son!
All he can do is sleep! I feel so bad for him!
All the medicine Jonathan has been taking. He's never been this sick before!

4th of July!!

Jon and I hosted our first party ever this fourth of July and it was so much fun! We had about 15 people over and we played games, grilled out, lit off some day time fireworks for the kids, went to Rosenblatt to watch fireworks and came back to our house to light off some more of our own. It was a blast and i can't wait to do it again next year!
It doesn't look like a lot of people were there, but that because they were all hiding out in the garage for some shade because it was so hot.

Me and Jon hanging out. By that time i was looking like an elephant because we just ate dinner.
Daddy and Jonathan sharing a root beer float.

Grandpa Bill, Terry, and Uncle Jim watching the kids play.

Jon did pretty good with cooking all that yummy food. We had hamburgers, brats, baked beans, and a bunch of other great foods that were perfect for grillin out.
Don't ask me what Jimmy was doing with our mail box.
Jonathan and Jaxon were playing a little one on one. Looks like Jonathan got his ball in first!

Jonathan was trying to drink his cheerios!
Seth and Jimmy settin off fireworks.
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

~A DAY AT THE ZOO~

Me and Jon decided to take advantage of this nice weather thats been going on and go to the zoo. Jonathan loves going to see all the animals and he never gets tired of telling us what all the animals "say". I've never taken him to the petting zoo part cause i was scared the goats would trample him down, but i got the courage to take him this time. It was a fun experience for all of us! Apparently this goat needed to cool off in his metal feeding tray.
It was feeding time! I let Jonathan feed the goats as long as Jon was elping him. I didn't want the damn goat to mistake his finger for a carrot!


After a while he got bored with feeding and petting the goats, so he decided to chase the dove the was flying and walking around the petting zoo. It was so funny because the bird was just running around in circle and trying to dodge Jonathan, and he was right behind that bird with his arms out saying..."bird...bird..bird."

~THE STORM~

Friday afternoon/early evening was something i would not want to ever experience again. Of all the years of living in "Tornado Alley" this was the worst i have ever been in. Around 4:30 the wheather report came on the tv as breaking news and Bill Randby...my favorite wheather man :)....said there was a storm a brewin'. He said there were no signs of tornados, but there was damaging winds and severe hail and that people in the stroms path need to be in a sturdy shelter. Well, being retarded, me and Jon went out side to check it out. It was getting kinda dark, so Jon started tying our little tree down so it wouldn't break. Out of nowhere the wind just started blowing like crazy so i went into the garage. It started getting stronger so i yelled for jon to come in the garage. It got even worse and Jon started to see the debris on the ground go in circles so he instructed for me to get Jonathan and go in the closet. I wanted to see what was going on so me and Jon stood at the front door to watch the storm pass, but then everything just went down hill from there. The hail started hitting our house with winds of 65-70mph. The big HUGE trees were just bowing to the ground. We hurried and ran in the closet and sat there with my son clutching on to me and his head buried between my shoulder and neck for 5-7mins just hearing the winds getting stronger and the hail hitting out house even harder. There was NO WAY it could not have been a tornado. It was the scariest thing i've ever been through.

This is what our ground looked like when we went outside.
This is the size of the hail (next to a quarter) that was hitting our house at 65-70mph. Later we found that the siding of our house has many holes that need to be fixed. We were very lucky that none of our windows broke.
Our streets were flooded and traffic was backed up because people were scared to drive through this!
This was down the street from us. Thank God no one was in there, but there was one couple that did die after a tree had fallen on their car.
Scary isn't it?

Two Peas in a Pod!

My best friend Nikki and her daughter kaitlyn came to hang out for a while today. She's the greatest person in the world. I don't know what i'd do without her. We've been through so much together in the 5 years we've known each other and i couldn't have asked for a better friend. LOVE YOU PONY!!!

PONY and PUCCA...the original P-P-P-P-P-UNIT!!!!! LOL!
Aunite Nikki reading Jonathan his thomas catalog.

Here's my son looking like such a big boy reading his catalog. he's so smart, he'll sit down and tell you every train in that book.
Little miss Kaitlyn being mezmorized by the peek-a-boo elmo toy Jonathan was so nice to share with her. (yeah right, he was trying to get all underneath that thing so he could see everything for himself!)

How cute is she!!! I just wanna squeeze her cheeks!
How can you not love us!

A Day at the Zoo

So it was my stupid idea to go to the zoo on saturday when i knew it was going to be raining. Surprisingly, there were alot of people with the same stupid idea i had. When we went it wasn't bad. It was only sprinkling for like 5 seconds. We went to the insect place, the jungle, and then the aquarium. When we left the aquarium, it was still nice outside so we decided to go look around at the outside animals. When we got to the elephants (which are pretty far from the entrance) it started pouring like no other! I was only wearing a thin wind breaker and i was soaked. So by the time i walked like 10,000 miles and dragged my a** up three ginormous hills i looked like a freakin drowned rat. I was soaked from head to toe with mascara running down my face. Jonathan was freezing and i felt like the worst mother in the world. But anyways, i was able to take a FEW pictures before we got rained on!
