Day 191

Today Ethan had his two year well child check up. He is 36 inches tall and 28 pounds. He is a little under weight and taller than most children his age. The doctor said he is doing great and that she will see him back as needed or when he turns three. After we got done at the doctor we ran to pay a bill then got some lunch. After that we came home Keith got ready for work and Ethan took his nap. Later in the night Kim Ethan and I went to Denny's to get some dinner. When we first got our food it was bad. We had to send it back to get more. I hate doing that but my eggs were way under cooked. I cannot eat slimy eggs that was all I wanted fixed but she brought out a whole new meal. As soon as we got home he ran ro bed and went right to sleep  he was a tired little boy. Then Kim and I watched The Bachelor. I cannot wait for him to send Michelle home but I have a feeling he is not going to. I need to figure out a picture for today I think it will be of a picture I made for Ethan while we colored.

Day 190

Well I got up today got Ethan his breakfast and then gave him a bath. Then we got ready and watched Dora for a while before we left for church. He had to take his Dora dvds with him so he could watch them at my dads house.
I slept so well last night I think it was because I only had an hour of sleep before the party and I was wore out Friday.
Now I am at my dads house and I have no idea what to take a picture of for today I will think of something later.
Ok so I am going to use a picture I took before church of Ethan in his new outfit from his Aunt Jackie.

Day 189

Today is the day of the party. I am expecting 25 people to be there Keith says it is not a small party his idea of small is only like 5 people. I hate to tell him but to keep it at only 5 people we would not be able to invite his family or all of mine that are close to Ethan. We only have close people there, The guest list is
My Dad
My Grandma (Dad's Mom)
Aunt (Dad's Sister)
Uncle (Dad's Brother)
Sister and her Husband and 3 boys
Brother and his 3 girls
My Mom
My Grandma (Mom's Mom)
Keith's Mom and Step Dad
His Sister and her Boyfriend
His Aunt
Then my Friend and her 2 boys 
So the total is 15 Adults and 8 kids Not counting Keith Ethan and I, I think that is good there are so many more people I was going to invite but held off due to space. Last year I invited over 100 people to his party and most of them said they were going to come then we had a huge snow storm and had to postpone the party and then not everyone was able to come. So 25 is a small group if you ask me, I come from a HUGE family, My mom has 11 Brothers and sisters. (One passed away at birth) and they all have kids who have kids. My grandma has over 70 grandchildren so I am used to BIG numbers for weddings and other types of Parties, Keith comes from a SMALL family his dad is an only child and his mom only has 3 brothers and sisters and they only have like 7 kids total and they do not invite each other to parties like my family does.
I think this will be the LAST year I have the party at our place though, I wanted it to be spotless and that meant I took several days to dust and wipe down everything. I think from now on we will just get a hall. I will post pictures later and add more to my already long blog I just wanted to get it started because I am not sure if I will be on later or not. I have a good bit to do before the party and then I will need to clean after everyone goes home and then I MIGHT nap depending on how well I sleep when I get home in an hour.
Now I have to go do my shift report and the Audits and everything before my shift is over and be ready to run out the door when the next girl gets here. I stand and talk MOST weekends but today I just cannot, I need some sleep and I have a lot of stuff to pick up before the party.
I went on a long hunt for canned chicken and could not find any so I had to change what I got and got stuff for sloppy joes. I picked up the cake and was NOT happy about it at all it is NOT what I wanted. Then I went home and get stuff ready for the party, It lasted longer than I thought it would be we had fun. Ethan thought it was funny that we sung to him. I am going to add a picture of his cake even though I hated it. And one of him laughing because we were singing and maybe one other.

Day 188

Well today is Ethan's birthday. He is getting his bath now then we are going to Chuck-E-Cheese then when we are done we are going to the toy store where he can pick ANY toy he wants. I am going to be posting a bunch of photos today but for now I will post one from the day he was born.

Well we got to go to Chuck-E-Cheese and Ethan had a great time. He was fussy before we left the house and on the way there but as soon as we got there he was fine had a great time. We also took him to Toys-R-Us and let him pick out ANY toy he wanted and he got a Iminex (I think that is what it is called lol) Toy Story 3 Toy. He would NOT let it go and wanted it opened right away. When we got home I finished the cleaning that needed done it only took liek 10 minutes we jsut had to sweep, Now tomorrow all I need to do it make my bed and cook food.

I am going to post a few more pictures one is of Ethan at Chuck-E-Cheese and the other is of him playing with his new toy.

Day 187

Well today I came to my dads house printed some coupons for chuck-e-cheese and now I am trying to think of what to get for dinner.
I left my camera at home but once I get home tonight I will take a picture and post it.
Well when I got home I cleaned the house a little to get ready for the party. I don't want to do a lot tomorrow because I want to spend time with Ethan having fun. Keith does NOT have to work so we are going to Chuck-E-Cheese. My picture is going to be of the new coat I got today but I am not going to post it tonight and I am not sure if I will tomorrow either. I might while Ethan takes his nap.
Birthday Countdown- 1 Day until Ethan turns TWO!

Day 186

Today is not as bad as last night was but our sidewalk is still a sheet of ice. Keith was unsure if he had to work or not, He was told everyone but 3 people called off but they all went into work. He said the roads were not bad on the way there and they said they will send them home if it starts to get bad.
I just went out and put some salt down on the side walks so when Ethan and I go shopping we don't fall on our butts. Kim is going to stop over to pick us up and we are going to go get what we need for his party. Then she is going to come here and we are going to eat some chili. I still have a little to do before the party but I do not want to do it until Friday night.
I will find something to take a picture of later.
Ok so I did not know what to take a picture of but once Kim came over we ate dinner we had Chili and Crackers, Goldfish, Beef Sticks, Popcorn, Pickles and Deep Fried Pickles. As we were making the fried pickels I took a picture then took one when they were done, I LOVE them and could not stop eating them even though my stomach felt sick. We skipped on the ice cream and hot fudge. I am gald we did too! We got everything we needed for the party I just need a few more decorations.
 Birthday Countdown- 2 days until Ethan turns TWO!

Day 185

So I get up today and look outside and there is ice every where. It looks so cool but I hate it. The thought of Keith driving an hour to work where it was worse worried me. I kept looking at the ice thinking how pretty it was and how cool it looked so I took a bunch of pictures of it. I am going to post a few different ones not sure how many just yet.
Keith got called off because it was so bad, that makes me happy. If he gets his last W2 today we are going to go get taxes done if we can get in. I hope we can get them done soon I hate waiting I wanted to get them done the day I got my W2 but we had to wait for Keith's to come.
Birthday countdown 3 days until Ethan turns 2!
