Domink's 3rd Birthday

Okay so before I go on about how fun the weekend is. I have to reflect on the fact that 3 years ago. I gave birth to my beautiful boy who I love and adore. It's hard to believe that 3 years ago I had a newborn in my arms. I cannot believe how much he has grown and all the fun things we've already experienced the last 3 years. Dominik is truly such a blessing to me and motherhood is the best thing I've done with my life. He has taught me so many things and shown me the true meaning of life.  I fall more and more in love with him everyday and I try to cherish every moment because time definitely flies by. What's even crazier is that one of my close friends from high school Had her little boy this morning at St Marks hospital and my doctor was the one who delivered her son. It was surreal being at the very hospital I delivered Dom at on his birthday.  Anyway now Dom shares a birthday with Allen Jayden who was born at 7:52 am and was 9.1 lbs 20 inches. Congrats to Rachel and Josh. He is beautiful. I'm not gonna lie it made me so excited for Nic and I to have our first baby together. I can't wait for the day that Nic gets to hold his first born child in his arms. He is already such a great father to Dom and I can only imagine how he will be with his own son or daughter 

But first things first let's get the marriage thing done and a house! ha ha. This is such an exciting time for Nic and I and I can't wait for all the firsts we will have together. I really feel like I'm living in a fairy tale sometimes. Nic makes me so incredibly happy in every way and I feel like he is the missing piece I've needed to complete the rest of my life. It's funny because I want it all to be here now. But I know I need to slow down and enjoy every moment of what we have. 

Anyway on to the weekend details. Little Dom's party was Saturday. We ended up doing it at the clubhouse where I rent. It rained too much Saturday to do it at the park but we made due and it ended up being a ton of fun. I think Dom really enjoyed himself and he made out as far as presents go. You would have thought it was Christmas with all the gifts he got. I'm so grateful for all my friends and family who came to support Dom.  Nic's family came too which really meant a lot to me.  I'm so lucky to have such a great new family and they are so good to both Dom and I. We got Dom his first bike and he was excited. I'm not gonna lie I had a panic attack when I bought it. I started thinking of all the ways he could get hurt. But I know I've got to quit being so protective.  After Dom's party we had to get ready for my birthday celebration with my friends. 

Nic and I were both so exhausted but we got our second wind and it was off to Porcupine Grill and Canyon Inn. It was a ton of fun.  We both have such a great support system from friends to family. A lot of people turned out to both events. I'm glad to say that it's all over until Nic's birthday on the 18th :)   Thanks to everyone who came, it means a lot and we love you all! 

31st Birthday Celebration

I had a wonderful Birthday yesterday. I got lots of Birthday wishes from my friends and family and had a terrific day. Nic and I put an offer in on a home so the last few days have been stressful! We are still waiting to hear back but I have to say buying a house is quite the ordeal.  Yesterday we were dealing with all sorts of things to prequalify etc.. so we both had a pretty rough day. But Nic managed to make my Birthday completely special by having Wine, Roses a card and the 32G Ipod touch waiting for me when I got home. He is the sweetest man alive I swear. He always makes me feel so special.  He also took me to Iggy's where we went on our very first date together which was a year ago today. My how time flies. We were both joking about where we were a year ago and where we are today. I never would have thought a year ago that I would be marrying the man of my dreams and buying a house :) Life could not be any better and I'm so excited for all the great things we have in store. 

This weekend is Dom's party as well. He turns 3 on Monday. We were going to have a party at the park but thanks to Mother Nature we have to move it to the Clubhouse at my condo. I keep reminding myself he is only 3 and I need to quit stressing so much over his party. We are having cake and pizza and I may get a pinata. I thought that would be fun for the kids. Anyway it should be a great weekend stay tuned for pics and an update about this weekend. 

Privatizing My Blog

So I decided to make my blog private so that only people I choose can read what I write.  I've wanted to do it for awhile now but did not know how! So several of you may have gotten an email requesting to view my blog so that is why.  We don't need any crazies reading our personal stuff and I've heard of many people that had strangers viewing their blogs so I thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and make ours private as well. Anyway I hope everyone has a great day just wanted to let you know why everyone got emails requesting to view the blog!

Parent Appreciation Day

Yesterday I got the honor of attending Parent Appreciation Day at Dominik's preschool. First of all it was great to get off work at 3:30 but most of all it was fun to go spend time with my son at his school. They had a bunch of activity centers set up and little projects for them to do. It was a lot of fun and neat to see what things they have Dom doing all day long. 

He was so excited to see me and thanked me for visiting him at school. Our first stop was a Dinosaur fossil making center. They were taking marshmallows and toothpicks and making "fossil's". Dom's looked more like a building but it was cute nonetheless. 

Second we stopped off at little dinosaurs frozen in ice. The kids got to take hammers and break the ice cubes open and get the dinosaurs out. That was Dom's favorite. :) I think he just loved being able to hit the ice and splash the water all over everybody but either way it was fun. 

Last but not least Dom read me a dinosaur story. He is Mr. Independent right now and insisted on doing it by himself. He doesn't need his mom anymore because he is a big boy! ha ha.

Anyway it was really fun and I'm so proud of my little man and all he is doing. He is so vibrant and although he is stubborn like his mom. He is my pride and joy and he is what life is all about.  Oh and on a side note potty training is going fabulously he is using the potty almost all the time! HOORAY!  I should also add that Dominik is very excited about having TWO daddy's! It is the cutest thing ever. He says to everyone, "Nic is gonna be my step-dad like my other dad."  It is so cute to see how much he loves and adores Nic. This morning he asked Nic to take him out of the high chair and told him it's cuz Nic is his best buddy in the whole world.  He was even bummed when Nic didn't come to his school. The feeling is mutual because Nic loves and adores Dom too. I scored big time with this guy. He is going to be an amazing step dad and fantastic father.
