Octavian's 2nd Birthday

Octavian's second Birthday party was in the early afternoon. Bruce, Veronica, Grandma Betty and my father-in-law John came to celebrate. Matt and I decorated with Birthday banner, streamers and clover stuff. It looked good. I made a green cake with green frosting. The number two was made out of green gummy frogs and around the outside of the cake were green army men. It wasn't perfect but I thought it was great. I also made green scrambled eggs, green mac'n cheese, green jello that was clover shaped, green milk and even green orange juice! Octavian loved his presents and wasn't interested in the cake.

Good Day

Today was a good day! Had Brunch with the In-Laws and had a good time except for when Octavian was ready to go. The cats had fun battin around the mouse in the box! I found more decorations for Octavian's Birthday party! Octavian has his daily tantrums but still makes us laugh and he said "You're Welcome" to me today after I told him "Thank you". Matt had a surprise waiting for me when I got home, a wonderful wolf picture! I am so excited to go see Owen on Wednesday and plan to take lots of pictures of Owen.

Hawaii

WE'RE GOING TO HAWAII!!! I had a rough 2010 with a few ups and it's hit me hard. I wanted to do something special (once in a lifetime thing). Matt and I wanted to go on a Cruise this year, but the research we did, nothing seem to fit us. Then I received an AAA Magazine and they were advertising trips to Hawaii. I looked them up and found one that was cheaper than a Cruise and hopefully will fit us.
Thank you to Veronica and Bruce, our trip to Hawaii will just be Matt and I for My 30th Birthday! They will be watching Octavian while we're gone. We are both super excited and Matt has never been on a plane, so he is happy to finally be going on one.
