Graduation Day

They called his name to come up on stage, "Mercer Downs" and he jumped right up on the stage and took the microphone. Miss Mary asked him to say his name and he says, "Bubba"! Does he like to fish? "yeth" does he like to play with playdough? "yeth". Oh little boy you were so lovely tonight. You made me smile the entire night :)

Surgery

Getting everything ready for surgery on Friday. Had my pre-op appointment today and met with the doctor who was very interesting. I guess he was in Iraq for a couple years preforming facial surgeries on soldiers and then when he came back to the United States he continued to work on soldiers until he decided to open his own practice. Turned in all my prescriptions, started taking my antibiotics, and purchased the other "necessities". Chellsea's gonna drive and drop me off in the morning and my bosses wife is going to pick me up afterwards and take me to her house for the first 24hours. I've got my travel home outfit laid out and I'm ready to go. I'm crossing my fingers that this goes the way I planned.
Bubba and Chellsea went to Mukilteo beach today and checked out the sea anemones, crabs, and Seagulls. Funny, little Boy called seagulls "Monster Birds". I think Miss Chellsea had a good time also. She came home with her Beach Finds. I love you Chell's. I love you because even when you do wrong you do it with the biggest and best intentions.

Mothers Day

Its been a rainy rainy mothers day. I wasnt able to get out to work on the deck so we spent Mothers Day inside. After a super yummy breakfast of bacon, eggs, potatoes, and fresh strawberries (I used my new fry pans-Thx MAKKA) Mia and Bubba made a super cool camping trip on the bottom bunk of there beds. There were tropical trees and sleeping bags (even Shuggies had one) and Mia was so funny with her binoculars. She is the best big sister ever. I love how she doesnt mind to play with her Bubba. She doesnt complain about him. She loves her Bubba. She has such an imagination and he justs lets her do whatever she wants. Usually she will make Movie watching areas for them both with special seats made out of laundry baskets or tupperware bins and blankets. She'll make nice little snacky plates for them to eat while they watch movies. We also dressed Bubba up in his "Risky Business" outfit and he was such a ham. He just danced away with his dark sunglasses on. Chellsea sang me a great song in Japenese and Mia made me a super nice activity box. But Bubba gave me the best gift today. He was just super lovely and yummy. He craweled up into my lap and let me rock him in the same rocking chair that I rocked 3 of my babies when they were little. I remember how beautiful Chellsea was when she was a baby. Definetly my most beautiful baby. Mia was my sweetest. She has the biggest heart and Bubba, hmm...well Bubba, I guess you could say he's my most challenging so far and I havent yet figured out his best trait :)
We had homemade spagetti for dinner with cornbread and now everybody's showered and ready for the sack. Time for movies-Yup, its been a great Mothers Day.

Top Pot 5K

We had a great time at the Doughnut Dash on Greenlake. Mia ran like the wind...but only at the end of the race because she didnt finish the 5k in time to run the kids dash but I think I'm going to sign us all up for the Fremont 5k so we can give it another shot. We had a line up of tutles on the lake checking us out as we ran. Not sure if they were laughing at us or chearing us on. Got a prize winning shot of Mia's bathroom break at the sani-can! She's gonna kill me if she see's that one. Chellsea and Chris finished right at and hour. I'm going to push her to try to beat that time at the next race. After the race we had a super yummy lunch and ate like it was Thanksgiving day. Cant wait for the next race :)
