Happy 1st Birthday Toby Gage!

I did a little photo shoot on his birthday and I think his pictures turned out super cute! We are having a pirate party this Saturday and I'm just now getting things in order and organized. I still haven't made the boys shirts..that will come tomorrow, along with a few other things. I am hoping it turns out the way I see it in my head. I also have rented a pirate inflatable for the kids & I know that'll be a big hit. Big changes are coming and in such a short period of time. Big changes have also occured within the last week. Noah started Kindergarten, Toby turned 1, trying to over plan a birthday party (I never do it simple) and now Caleb is starting a new job. I'm ridiculously scared and my stomach is in knots. Here's the thing..change scares me! Scares me to death. I don't even know what to think anymore or how to feel..other than just plain ole fear. He still will not get any weekends off but at least he'll be his own boss and won't have to clock in at an actual workplace. I'm just scared. Scared of less time with him & scared that the pay isn't what they're saying it is. I've always been a "believe it when I see it" kind of girl. With Caleb being the only one bringing home the bacon (sorry, i had to! ha!) this HAS to work or else I have no clue what we'll do. He has not resigned from his other job yet..but I'm sure he will after tomorrow...that also makes me nervous. I think I need a nerve pill! Until then...here's a few pics of Toby on his very first birthday :)

Moms Birthday, Kite Flying, and a Pitty Party :D

Today is my mom's birthday and Noah made her a beautiful birthday card made from cardstock, stickers, markers, and lots of love. He colored a beautiful rainbow inside the card and even drew in a little pot of gold. Who knew my little toddler was such an artist. We went out to dinner with mom and dad and had a good evening.

Noah also got a haircut today and cried when his bubblegum got taken away from him. When he cries, he always says "my face is wike a mountain". God bless him, he's so precious! Anyway, his gum got taken away because he chokes on it, even if he's only chewing on a small piece. But, he got a McDonalds and came back to the house and had some ice cream - so it was all good after that. He also flew a kite for the VERY first time today!! My mom helped get it up in the air and let Noah hold it on his own - and then of course he let it go! lol It was fun and we can't wait until the wind picks up a little more so the kite can go further.

I'll throw myself a little pitty party for a minute or two. I've had a weird week. Lack of sleep (because Noah hasn't been sleeping well), not feeling good, and sadness because my aunt in Missouri isn't doing too well and I can't get in touch with her. My phone has rang twice this week and when I pick it up, noone is on there. Last night, during the night, the phone rang and I ran to it as quickly as I could. . .and silence. I don't know who it is or what they want. Maybe I should invest in caller id. Anyway, tomorrow is suppose to be another beautiful day and Caleb is off work, so I plan on staying as busy as possible to kinda help get myelf out of this funk.
