Touchy subject

A few weeks ago Cakerwakers posted about the possibility of something happening to her during her surgery in a few weeks. I’ve thought this same thing. While I didn’t want to discuss it much or dwell to much on the negative I did take the time to write a letter to my son Brandon. You are all now responsible for somehow making sure this letter finds it’s way into his hands when he is older. I have kept up on writing little notes or letters to him on my other blog, Letters to Brandon, over there on the left side. So now, one of you some day, will have to remember, if anything ever happened to me, my son needs to find that site, the one that is dedicated in whole to him so he always knows, he was my whole life. Good luck ya’ll I trust one of you will succeed in your mission!

Trick or treat…most parents deserve to get their cars egged!

Brandon was either a monster, a dragon or a dinosaur, we really still aren’t sure!
Walking up to trick or treat GG (great grandma) This also counts as your belly shot for the week. I told everyone I dressed as a pumpkin!


Going to ring the doorbell


Running around like a mad man


He quickly learned that saying trit or treat got him candy.


Thank you GG


This is the famous bunny golf cart. Some of you received an email talking about this. Yes my mom is a burner (aka someone who goes to burning man) and she converted her golf cart into a permanent bunny rabbit. Wait it gets better.


He lights up! My dad drove Brandon and I all over the neighborhood to trick or treat. People were soooo jealous they didn’t have a giant bunny on wheels to trick or treat in!


Checking out all his loot.

Not much left after we pulled out everything with peanut products.

THAT IS THE REASON PARENTS SHOULD HAVE THEIR FUCKING HOUSES EGGED! You would think will all of the news going around about NO PEANUT PRODUCTS IN SCHOOL people would be smart enough not to hand out baskets full of nothing but peanut products. I had to take away at least 20 things out of his basket because it would have killed him if he ate it. Do you know how sad it was sitting there taking away my sons candy. I just can’t believe that more emphasis hasn’t been placed on NOT PUTTING DEADLY CANDY IN KIDS BASKETS!!!!!!! I swear each time someone dropped a Reeses or a Snickers in his basket I wanted to egg them right in the face! And he was to little to know any better so when he reached in to grab he didn’t know he shouldn’t grab a Baby Ruth, he just picked something! Soooo frustrating, because I can’t even eat the stuff I had to take from him since I refuse to possibly be my sons kiss of death. Next year, Reno parents, try thinking a little and not loading your basket with Peanut M&Ms, Snickers, Baby Ruth and Reeses. It is totally useless to my child! If not you might end up with eggs in your face from one very angry mom!

This is not how you rest young man

Brandon you are sick please lay down and rest.


That is not what I had in mind!!!

He’s so sick he’s already lost a whole pound ugggg.

And we won’t even talk about the green carpet in his room right now! The carpet he colored with washable markers. Did you know that if you color carpet with washable market it just smears all over the carpet making it worse when you try and wash it.

Lemme clarify while washable markers do come off, me and my big pregnant body don’t have the energy to scrub the carpet right now. Soooo i took a few baby wipes and tried that. It didn’t work. So I gave up!

So that Kat doesn’t get her tubes tied

I know I complain a ton about pregnancy. I do it for the humor factor. Don’t get me wrong pregnancy is a huge pain in my ass (and back and legs and belly and feet and….) but in reality there are so many rewarding things about pregnancy and the end result. So Kat I thought I would take a few minutes to tell you all the things that are so amazing they will actually make me forget every bad thing about this pregnancy.

  1. Feeling the baby kick around inside of me
  2. Finding out I’m having another amazing little boy
  3. Nursing. The first time you nurse and your child looks into your eyes it is amazing
  4. The first smile, even if it is a fart causing it
  5. The first time they shiver (babies don’t shiver when they are little so its really cute when they get big and figure it out)
  6. The first time your son says low you too mommy (love you too)
  7. The first time your son spends the night away and then comes home and says I missed you
  8. The first time they wake you up in the morning and give you a kiss with out ever asking them too. My son gave me about 4 kisses one morning in bed then turned over and kissed Rob a bunch and just laid back down with us.
  9. The first time your son says momma hole you (momma hold me)
  10. The fist time you see your child have cake
  11. Having someone who considers a surprise getting a spoon full of cream cheese from the store rather then thinking a surprise was a toy or something of monetary value
  12. The first time you are hormonal and crying and your kid comes up and says momma you sad and kisses you
  13. The first time your baby learns to laugh
  14. The first time your child learns to make you laugh
  15. The first time your son says momma more tisses (more kisses) and makes you kiss them again and again and again
  16. The first hugs
  17. The first steps
  18. The first game of peek a boo
  19. The first sneeze
  20. The first time your baby gets hiccups outside of the womb and can’t stop is so cute. We have hours of footage of Brandon doing nothing but hiccuping

So you see Kat. It isn’t all bad. Being a mom for me, might be the very best thing that ever happened to me. And truth be told I would be pregnant for five years just to experience one amazing day with my son.

Because we be old school here

Yeah that is totally an old school NES system and yeah we are playing Mario 3. Brandon wasn’t actually playing he just had an extra controller and was pushing buttons. He thought it was super awesome.



Get em mommy get em


After this he reset my game about 3 times which means in an hour I never made it past world one. I was sooooo not impressed. He on the other hand found this hilarious.

We took Brandon to the pumpkin patch this morning. He had a great time. Oddly enough there were barely any pumpkins but oh well.

Really, more with the posing


Family picture


Mom is excited about her belly, I’m excited about the giant dragon blow up castle


I had the most fun on the slide. I made mom go down, her butt didn’t fit in there very good though. I tried to go in the bounce house but the big kids wouldn’t let me jump so I climbed back out!
