Many Faces of my Lil Munckin







Colds, Potty Training and Beyond...

Okay so I have officially been sick for over a week and it's the worst cold i have had in a very long time. But I'm happy to say I'm officially on the mend but unfortunately now Nic is getting sick. So now its my turn to take care of him.
He has been so good to me this week. Wednesday night he made me dinner, took care of Dom and just let me relax. It was so so sweet. Even little Dom wanted to help take care of Mommy. He would give me hugs and offer me water because he thought water made me feel better. I swear my son is the cutest darn thing ever. Then yesterday I had to leave for a bit and I came home and Nic had cleaned out my entire refrigerator. I'm pretty sure he is going out for boyfriend of the year! :)
We are also starting to potty train Dom and so we put him in his "big boy" Cars underwear and to no surprise he ended up forgetting to tell Nic he needed to go potty and peed his pants. Bless Nic's heart he was so awesome and got Dom and all cleaned up and bathed.
Dom has also started arguing with us about what he wants and doesn't want. He is literally making me late for work everyday because we go back and forth between him telling me he wants something and then when i give it to him he doesn't want it. It ends up being about a ten minute battle. So the new rule is whatever Dom says he wants the first time is what he gets. He is such a good boy but I think he has begun to understand he wants his Independence. I talked to his teacher today and she told me he is advanced for his age so he is starting 3 year old behaviors in addition to the already fun two year old one's. I still love the little stinker to death and no matter how much he frustrates me sometimes one hug and kiss and Mom's heart melts.
He is gone with Dad this weekend so we will miss him dearly. But that will just give me more time to nurse poor Nic back to health. So i'm trading in one baby for another! HA HA HA!!! I guess i can't complain since technically it's my fault Nic is sick! :( Anyway hope everyone is doing well!!!! Oooh some exciting news all 3 of us are goin to California in March to see my dad for 4 days. I am so excited. We get to go wine tasting and Nic will get to see some more of California. So until next time. Everyone have a wonderful weekend!

Brea and Jonaton's Wedding

This weekend i had the privilege of being a part of my good friend Brea's wedding. It was such a beautiful wedding and her and her new husband are so in love! :) Even little Domi got to be a part of it. I have to be honest it was a little stressful being in a wedding with both of us in it. We had to be to Canterbury Hall at 4 and the wedding started at 6 so trying to keep him dressed up and in a good mood for that many hours was a stretch but when it came time for the actual ceremony he did amazing. The only thing was that he ran down the wrong side of the isle and into my arms. It was the cutest thing ever.
Nic bribed him with scooby snacks so he went and sat in his lap during the ceremony. Let me tell you what, Nic is such a trooper! He was such a great help with Dom and was great with all my friends and all the new people he met. I am so blessed he is in my life and was proud to call him my date! :) All the girls gave Nic the stamp of approval which i never doubted for a minute he would get. ha ha!
Dom was a HAM! He was dancing and flirting with the girls! He kept pulling Krissi and I out to the dance floor. I swear we did not get a moments rest. That boy has endless energy i swear! If only mommy could have just a little.
The wedding was so much fun we danced the night away! It's so neat the celebrate the special people in your life especially when they find true love. I think Nic is glad the wedding is over! I was just hoping maybe it would inspire him to pop the question! ha ha ha!!!!! He said I've talked about marriage for the last little while so maybe now that the wedding is over i won't use the "M" word so much! :) Anyway it was a fabulous day and I'm so happy for the both of them. Nic and Dom were fantastic sports and Nic definitely earned his awesome boyfriend badge this weekend! So THANKS BABE you are the best!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


Happy New Year Everyone! We hope that everyone had a safe and awesome New Years! Nic and I went over to a little get together down the street from my house with Eric and Chelsea. It was lots of fun they had drinks, good food and we played a dice game. It was very low key but a great time!


I am so excited for 2009! I can't wait to see what this year has in store and I'm so glad that Nic is a part of this new year with me. 2008 was so much fun and we did so many fun things and had so many great times together and i know 2009 is going to bring many more fun and exciting things. We officially start our cleanse on Sunday and we are hoping to shed the Holiday and Happy pounds we have put on since we met! :) So wish us luck! ha ha ha


I got my Little man back yesterday and he was so happy to be home and we were happy to have him. Nic and I miss him dearly when he is gone. We were both a little skeptical about how the homecoming would be after he had been gone for so long. But he came home the happy and good boy we love.

We headed up to Nic's for dinner and to drop Nic off because he is jeeping with his dad and family friends today. Unfortunately i had to work and I'm a little sad. This is the first time Nic has gone jeepin without me since we met. But i think i can manage! :) I also have a rehearsal for a wedding Domi and I are in tomorrow. I'm hoping Nic is back in time to attend the dinner with me! However i think Nic is hoping he won't be! ha ha ha! This is the last weekend of madness and then hopefully we can relax and have some down time!!!! Our next adventure will be potty training Dom, i told Nic we have to rent a bunch of movies one weekend and get the timer out so we can get that little guy out of diapers. Anyway Happy New Year everybody!!!! Keep checking in to see what new and exciting things keep happening in our world!!!!
