A little belated - it was Friday. But, I have sort of been out of commission since Thursday night with an awful Flu bug. Felt like a human pinata (got that from the Kaiser phone nurse!)
Bubs seemed to have a great "Real" birthday as he calls it. At breakfast I let him unwrap a gift. It was a Monsters vs. Aliens hat w/ B.O.B. on it. He loves his hats & I knew he could wear it to school that day. My mom was in town & thankfully got the kids ready, made lunches, and took them to EDCC. They were much better off there, away from me, with plenty of things to keep them busy.
When Bubs got home, daddy gave him the news that we had postponed his birthday party one week. He took it much better than we all anticipated! Maybe its the FIVE year old in him! He got to open our presents and he let K read the cards.
To help him celebrate the big day, my mom & P's parents took Bubs to Lucky's pizza & brought a birthday cake. I sadly missed all the fun, but got to see plenty of pics & hear the stories!
Bubs was smiles all day long. And instead of a party on Saturday, my mom took the kids to see the movie G-Force. He absolutely LOVES his movies! He just wants to see them all. I'm so happy that he had a great birthday. He thinks he has another "Real" birthday this coming up weekend that he is just so excited for. I am praying daily though, that everyone else stays healthy & that we can infact go through with this backup plan.
Lastly - I'm still shocked that I have a 5 and 7 year old - Kindergarten & 2nd grader. INSANE! Where does the time go?

We miss our little girl!
For the first time ever, K is away from both mom & dad for about a week! She's been away from us for a day or 2 here or there, but I believe this is the longest apart. Grandma S. flew her back to Las Vegas and will be driving back with her Monday or Tuesday next week.
It is a little weird around the house - only having Bubs around. But he's getting alone time with us, and that has been good. We've been able to chat with K & my mom & dad on the Webcam every evening. The first day it was hard, she was clearly showing that she missed us. But last night she was all smiles! Here's a few of the things she's having fun doing: swimming in the community pool everyday from 10-12, going shopping with Grandma, and visiting the "Grossology" exhibit at the Lied Discovery Children's Museum

They still have lots of other fun "indoor" things to do because it is in the triple digits there. Can't wait to hear what's next on their list. Miss you K! Hope you are enjoying your trip!
Bubs on the other hand makes us laugh daily with his little phrases & comments. Here's just 2 that have me cracking up the way he says them. Of course, I can't think of the others at the moment. I'll write up down for next time.
"I'm just having a bad day."
"Why you so mad at me? I'm just a little kid." - reminded me that yes, he is still little!
I want to mention one more thing - P & I just celebrated our 9th anniversary! I can't believe how quickly time flies. I feel like we were just dancing our first dance Sunol Valley Golf Club. Now we have a 7 year old and (almost) 5 year old. Amazing! I love you P! Here's to many more wonderful years!

The Relay for Life - Dublin, CA
This is my 4th year participating in American Cancer Society's Relay for life. Tomorrow I will be walking the track CELEBRATING the lives of those who have battled cancer, REMEMBERING loved ones lost to the disease, and FIGHTING BACK against a disease that takes too much. One day. One night. One community. One Fight. The Relay For Life is a life-changing event.
