The 19th was my mom’s birthday and although we couldn’t be there to celebrate with her, we thought of her all day!  Mom, we hope you had a great day and we plan to come celebrate with you once everyone is healthy!! Love ya!!

Noby is still feeling under the weather.  He hasn’t thrown up since yesterday, but you can tell he still isn’t 100%, I wouldn’t even say 50%.  He’s not eating, an animal cracker here and there and I keep trying to push the water.  He HATES the Pedialyte!  So since Monday he’s been VERY snuggly!  I love it, just wish it wasn’t cause he doesn’t feel good.  Here are a few pictures of the last couple of days…

Do you think one day he’s going to be mad that I posted these??  At least they aren’t of him throwing up! haha

its wasn’t food poisoning.

Noby’s been sick since Sunday night.  He hasn’t been able to keep anything down.  He’s hanging in there, being such a little trooper.  Being sick sucks but I do love this snuggle time.

So as you all know yesterday was my birthday, it ended up being a great day.  Well that’s until the middle of the night.   The day started with Noby and I baking my birthday cake, we then had a play-date with Lizzy and the boys, and on the way home decided to go pick up Ichiro at work.  On the way home we stopped for dinner at Not Your Average Joes.  I got my favorite mustard chicken but after a couple of bites didn’t think it was cooked all the way.  I had so much yummy bread that I just asked him to pack it up.  Once we made it home Noby and Ichiro gave me my awesome cards and birthday gift. Noby went to bed, Ichiro and I had cake, little tv and then bedtime.  In the middle of the night I woke up with a stomach ache.  Not a big deal, maybe to much cake.  Well today it was a big deal.  Yup food poisoning!  It’s been awful, awful!  I don’t think I will EVER get that chicken again!

MY AWESOME BIRTHDAY GIFT!!!

Don’t I have the best son AND husband!!!

So I am to tired and weak to take pictures of anything right now, so I’m gonna leave you with a few from Noby the other day.

For a while now I’ve wanted to take a cake decorating class.  Maybe I’ve been watching to much Ace of Cake but it just amazes me what people can do with a little cake and fondant.  Earlier this week I might have mentioned this to Kelly but said I needed an excuse to make an entire cake.  She quickly pointed out that my birthday was Friday.  PERFECT EXCUSE!!   So this morning, around 6 am (the time Noby decided to wake up) I started my birthday cake.  I have to say for my first cake, it’s really didn’t turn out that bad.  Its NO Lisa Cake, not even close, but it’s not that bad.  I do have to say I can’t believe the amount of work that goes into making and decorating a cake.  And mine is a small cake, I couldn’t imagine doing more than one tier. God bless Lisa and ALL cake decorators!

Don’t worry the scrap cake didn’t go to waste!

Splish splash Noby was taking his first BUBBLE bath!!!

Last week we gave Noby his first bubble bath.  He wasn’t sure at first, not wanting to touch anything.  But after we put a few bubbles on his head and show him how much fun they were he couldn’t get enough.  I wanted to share a few pictures with you all…

This afternoon Noby had peanut butter and jelly for the first time and boy did he LOVE it!!  I turned around for a second to grab the camera and when I returned half the sandwich was gone!!!  He loved it, not dropping any to Inu!  He was so cute eating it, making the funniest faces and noises while he tried to get it off the roof of his mouth!

A pb&j sandwich...

and a little milk to wash it down...

makes Noby one happy boy!

Sunday we headed over to the Cormiers house for Avery’s 2nd birthday party!  It’s hard to believe that Avery is already 2 years old!!!  We had a such a wonderful time celebrating with everyone!
