surgery and st. patty's day
Surgery
Monday Blake went in for surgery to have his tonsils & adenoids removed, and tubes put in his ears. We were told to be at the hospital at 9am, so that meant to eating or drinking ALL morning.... grumpy face says it all....
he was actually excited to go to have surgery, because he knew he'd get popsicles afterwards!
he did not however, like the little gown they made him wear
but then we found some cartoons to watch while we waited
and waited.... he didn't actually go into the room until 11:15. i took him back to be put under, which wasn't the most pleasant thing i've ever done. but he did great, and was such a trooper. i never once felt afraid or worried, like i thought i would... i felt very at peace the whole time, so thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts, i know that it helped! i didn't take any pictures of after surgery, he was pretty out of it, and i wasn't really thinking about the camera at all. but after a few popsicles and a short nap we were on our way home (gown and all, he would NOT take it off :o). since then he's been doing really well, the first night home he was running around playing... which caught up with him the next day, so we've just been taking it easy, eating lots of popsicles and drinking lots of clear liquids! he'll be back to 100% in no time!
St.Patricks Day
i have to admit that i pretty much forgot about st. patricks day, so no green pancakes for breakfast or anything, but i did remember that i bought the boys matching shirts a while back... and this is my attempt at getting them to take a nice cute sweet picture together... yeah right...
blake kept standing in front of adam, so adam would try and pull him down
and they both wanted at the camera, so they wouldn't stand still
and blake... just bugging his brother as usual... pretty soon adam is going to start fighting back, and he is not going to like it!
so i got a couple solo shots at least
HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!

crusin'
happy birthday to me! for my birthday this year i got to go on a cruise! it wasn't actually FOR my birthday, but ended up being during my birthday!! a couple of my friends and i were lucky enough to get some well deserved rest and relaxation. our amazing husbands took the kids and sent us on our way! we took a 5 day baja mexico cruise, and had so much fun! we visited Catalina Island, Ensanada Mexico, ate some great food, slept, read, and layed out in the sun (among other things). what more could these mommy's ask for!?
the second day on the cruise was my ##th birthday, so my room was decorated and at dinner they gave me the most amazing chocolate cake and sang happy birthday to me! so fun!
the second day was also Catalina Island, which was beautiful, we walked around town and layed on the beach!
here is ashley and i on fancy dinner night!
jenn and i... i'm sure she was trying to get me to eat sushi... nice try! we all had a great time just hanging out and chatting, laughing at the karaoke singers and comedian, and did i mention we ate LOTS of great food! :o)
here is mariah and i, this was the day in Ensanada... she got pretty good at bartering with the locals, and got some GREAT deals! 
after we got off the boat we had quite a bit of time before our flights, so we rented a car and explored hollywood a little bit! look... i'm famous! :o)

we took a bus ride to some shops and 'the blowhole' which really just looked like waves crashing on the rocks... whatever, it was pretty!

i have to thank my amazing husband who took time off work to be with the kids, and help watch some other kids! i love you so much!

the worlds worst blogger...
i have not been a good blogger lately, ok... i haven't BEEN a blogger lately, and it's not for lack of material, or time really, i've just been lazy. i get a little behind and feel overwhelmed because i want to do things in order, and don't want to leave anything out (because lets face it, i don't keep a journal... this is the closest thing i've got), so then i just don't do it at all (good solution huh). anyways, lame excuse! who cares if my posts are out of order, right...
on that note...
my little man has to have surgery next month. blake has the biggest tonsils on the planet (literally what the doctor said), and has significant hearing loss (that explains a lot). the large tonsils and adenoids are effecting his sleep, he wakes up frequently during the night, and is tired a lot during the day. because of the swollen adenoids fluid builds up behind his ear drums causing the hearing loss. so on march 15, he's having those golf ball size tonsils taken out as well as the adenoids and having tubes put in his ears! i am SO happy about this because i know it will help him SO much, but i am SO nervous, he's my baby.... so keep us in your prayers!

mariners fan fest
blake and i had a mommy/son day a couple weeks ago and went to Mariners fan fest with some friends of ours. anyone who knows us knows that we are HUGE baseball fans, we love going to games... last year we made it to more than 10 games! so we were VERY excited to be able to go on the field, run the bases, go in the dugout and tour the clubhouse!
blake and i on the field getting ready to run the bases....
i think i'll be getting that face for MANY years to come ('mom, quit taking pictures!')
3rd base!
this is blake's girlfriend Ella.... kissing in the dugout (how many guys can say they've done that!)
my favorite player of ALL TIME....this was SO exciting for me, i felt like a little kid!
we also saw some players, mostly from a distance, but it was still totally amazing.... we saw Jay Buhner, Ryan Rowland-Smith, Chone Figgins, and Casey Kotchman. we had so much fun, we can't wait for the season to start... only 9 days until spring training!!

guess who's 9 months old!?
i can hardly believe that adam is 9 months old already! (i know i say that every time, but it's true)
here were some of his stats at his dr. appointment:
Weight: 20lbs - 50%
Height: 28in - 50%
Head: 46cm - 50%
he did great with the doctor, he didn't cry once! even after his shots and finger prick, he was still smiling! he charmed the doctor and his entire staff, he was such a good boy! my doctor always does a great job of making ME feel like i'm doing a great job.... he said adam was perfect, growing wonderfully, and developing great.
