yes, it was a birthday party!

happy birthday stinson!
remember when he was just a little one?bobby almost died when i told him i was throwing stinson a birthday party. i believe there was eye rolling involved.

the attendees:decor: sponsored by the dollar tree. note the durable quality! (approximately 56 seconds later...)agenda: take the pup on a hike to roam to his hearts content - when i told the husband that my definition of a party meant we bought dollar store hats and took stinson to run to his hearts content, he was back on board!

the guess of honor enjoyed a bone, hike, and then a bath- no way even a birthday pup was making it back into our house looking like that...

and then he was all sorts of tuckered out. he is, after all, only one year old.
- and along those lines, here's to being grateful that our baby will not grow from 8-80lbs in one year!

bobby's side of the door...

the husband spends an awful lot of time working on his resolution. it leaves me lots of time for mine!

so for my friday off yesterday, i took myself for a run: check. Since i have been feeling better, - and indeed, i have been feeling much better- i have craved running. however, the growth in the belly region limits how far i make it before baby bobby starts complaining!

kitchen cupboards: check. i should have taken a before picture of what it looked like when i got up at 6:30 in the am, and with no reason or order, just emptied everything into the middle of the kitchen floor before proceeding to brainstorm how it was going to get back into order...

this is my decade.

this is going to be a big year. it is going to be a big decade.

we rang it in with an out of control party.
2 bottles of bubbly (shout out chico, ca- these pear and cherry flavors were yummy!)
all for just the two of us. to keep us awake doing our times square puzzle until midnight.

where are the pictures of us with out silly string and the neighbors with their pots & pans? who knows....

but now we are on to a new and big decade for this gal.

this year, i turn 30.

this year, i am having my first baby.

so I made some goals for the start of this big stage in my adventure.they are written on our back door.
i kept it simple and gave myself a few freebies!

bump at the beach

little baby bobby and i at the beach.. and yes, i said baby bobby... and although we have been calling him that all long... it is true. it's a boy! the husband couldn't be grinning any bigger right now!
