Sorry I didn't continue the last entry. There wasn't that much to add.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY KORBEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Korben turns the big TWO tomorrow! =o) I can't believe it. It seems just like yesterday i was giving birth to him (ok maybe I really don't want to feel that kind of pain right now lol =o)). But it has flown by fast. We are having his Birthday Party for him on Saturday at the in-laws. Went to Sam's club to get all the party stuff..wrote a check for about 150.00 bucks! ouch. But my hubby wasn't with me so I got a few extras. We don't have a theme for his birthday this year though. No small cousins on hubby's side yet so no kids will be there. BUT I got him a Bear in the Big Blue House cake so he will love that. And Korben just got a package in the mail from his Uncle Eric and soon to be Aunt Amber from Ohio. They got him these Stackable cars. Even though he is a little old for them (package says 6 months and older) he fell asleep while playing with them..I guess thats a good sign that he likes them! =o) I hope everything turns out good on Saturday and that the weather holds up. The weatherman says its suppose to be in the 80's here in TN!! I hope so!

Sorry I haven't written in a while. My Dad and Nancy came down for the weekend to visit. They arrived Friday at 2am in the morning. It took them 10 hours all together to get here. So on Friday My Dad and I wen to Lowe's to get stuff to fix up this dump that we call home. He bought spray paint and caulking. He spray painted out heaters...they are old and are attached to the floor. But they look nice now. A lovely eggshell color. Then he removed the old moldy caulking that was around our tub..and he put new caulking on it. Now it looks nice to take a bath in. See our maintenance people here are BAD at painting and fixing the little things that need fixing. So my Dad comes over 500 miles away and does it for me! =o) I love him! =o) But our apartment looks better now. Puts me in a better mood.

So After Matt got home from school we went to Toys R Us and my parents bought Korben his first toy box (we were using the wagon taht my brother and sisterinlaw had bought him last year). They got him the Step 2 toy box and the lid goes inside the toy box which I thought was neat. Then we get home and I get all the toys out and put the wagon on Matt's side of the closet and put his shoes in it. I tell ya that man has more shoes than I do. Korben likes it though. Then after Toys R Us we went over to the fairgrounds on campus and they where Llamas there. They were shaving them and cleaning them up for competition for Saturday and Sunday. It was pretty neat. Korben didn't know what to think of them. One wanted to get closer to him but couldn't cuz the fence was in the way. Then we went into the cattle barn and saw a mama cow and her calf. I bet eh calf was about a week old. It was feeding. Korben of course hid his eyes. These cows were on the big side.

So we walk back home and we order pizza from Pizza Hut. Matt went to bed early and missed it though. He wasn't feeling good the whole week.

So on Saturday we decide to go to Nashville Zoo at Grassmere. We leave here after everyone got ready around 11am or so. We get there and there was no where to park so we had to park in the grass. We get in and the first things we see were the Gibbons. They are the cutest. One was hanging by his arm on the tree branch swinging back and forth. FASTFORWARD... So we see the animals and go to a walking petting zoo..where they have goats and two sheep. Korben was afraid of them also..holding on to my pant leg most of the time. We fed the goats feed and Korben went walking and picked up poop pellets thinking it was feed for the goats! =o) lol...made me laugh.

continue next entry..hubby needs computer! blah! =o)

I am sorry all for those who read this. I haven't updated in about 5 days. Sorry. =o( Well today was a good day. We went to Matt's Aunt's house and had Easter dinner there at 3pm. She is my Favorite aunt on his side. That whole family is awesome. I had to drive both ways. Matt had to finish up a book for tomorrow. He isn't done with it yet. But today was so Beautiful out. It was about 75 degrees or so. Matt's Uncle Tony had a kite and he let the string un thread off the spoil and MAN it was high! I mean I looked up at the sky and it looked like a small airplane it was that high. Sorry I know its not that amazing but I thought it was.

Anyways...Korben got a basket from the Easter Bunny this morning. He got an "Itsy Bitsy Spider" book, a Clifford beach ball, Plastic airplanes and cookies and cheese crackers. The Bunny thought it wouldn't be a good idea with candy yet. =o)

Well my hubby and I woke up this morning with Tornado Watch sirens going off. It was wild. We looked out the window and it looked like a hurricane outside. We had like 50 mph winds..with downpour rain and hail. but it didn't last that long which was good.

I had the BEST Lemon pie today. It was a jello and cool whip one..hand made of course. But it was so sweet and light. I should have eaten two instead!! =o)

Ok thats all for now. I want to check out the other diaries. I couldn't check them out yesterday because for some reason my computer wouldn't bring it up.Oh well!
