Birthday Boy!

                                
Happy Birthday my little man!!!  Cash is One year old on February 8, 2011!!! He weighs- 23 pounds and his height is- 29 and some inches.....
                                    ( sorry pictures are totally random some reason blogger was being weird)

                Where to begin with Cash's birthday... We celebrated his year mark a lot. First with Grandma and Grandpa Mullins. Then on his real day as a new family tradition Cash got his favorite cereal- Lucky Charms, which I guessed and it was on sale! Belle enjoyed it more than him I think! Then Monkey came home and we had a picnic at our new favorite park called "Thatcher Park". Cash got a turkey sandwitch, animal crackers, fruit snacks, and a juice box!!! Every little kids dream cold lunch! He was lovin life and Lovin his animal crackers he would make this screeching noise everytime he got another one out of the box. We played for a while and took some pictures but a straw field or something. Then it got freezing so we went home and made his football cupcake cake!!! All the neighbor kids decided to come in a help. There was a 1, 2, 7, 8, 10, and a 13 year old in my house at the same time hahah it got a little crazy! So I kicked them out and finished the cake and everyone came outside like on Belle's birthday and sang Happy Birthday to him and NEVER in my life have I seen a baby cry when we had him eat his cup cake! Hahah it was actually really funny, sorry Cash! Finally he figured out it was yummy so he downed it while crying the whole time! Oh Cash!!! Then we went inside an opened presents! Belle of course opened them for him. He was so excited. It was so fun to watch him. Then that weekend to have a family party we went to the aquarium at Seaside... It was tiny but sooo cool. We got to feed the seals and my face ended up getting so wet, because we were so close the seals would just splash! Belle and Cash were cracking up. We got to touch starfish and sea cucumbers! Cash was amazed at all the fish and I was amazed at the octopus! We were so close we coul have reached down and touched it.... Which I am suprised no one has gotten hurt by it, cause it's an open tank! Then we tried to go on the beach, hahaa yeah right we got like blown off it, hints in the picture there is like no one on the beach. Winter and and the beach not a good combo up here.

             I can't believe my little guy is one. It feels seriously like yesterday when I was having 2-3 ultrasounds a week making sure he was going to make it. Now he is getting so big! I can't believe it. He is quite the character; he reminds me exactly of Belle. He is learning everything from her... Which is good an bad at the same time. He throws fits like no other. If you give him a sippy cup he does not want he will chuck it across the entire room and throw himself on the floor. OH DEAR! But for the Most part he is so sweet and such an amazing little boy. I never thought I could feel so much love from such a little person. He smiles constantly, he always is trying to kiss me, he ALWAYS wants me to hold him. He will come to my feet and laugh then point at my face and bounce up and down till I hold him. He loves to eat and eat anything. You put anything in front of him and it will be gone in like 2 seconds. He loves Belle.... Holy cow! If he is crying and I say lets go get Belle, he will stop crying and point to where she is and he'll try to say Belle. He melts everyones heart. He throws major fits but you can't stay mae long cause he slime you with one of his open mouth kisses. He is so wonderful. I am so blessed to have him and I am reminded of that everytime I see him smile!

This letter is by far the BEST VALENTINES letter I have ever gotten!!! It is from my sweet friend Terriane who has downs syndrome... I absolutley love her!!!! and I am so impressed she did not even mention my cousin Ryan who she has the biggest crush/love for!!!! Thanks Terri and Happy Valentines everyone!

This was written by my Mom I edited a lot out for her own personal stuff but this is what is going on (she just wrote it so much better):

The plan is this: I will be in surgery on Tuesday, February 22. The surgeon will perform a lumpectomy. Then I will go Mon. thru Fri. for six weeks for radiation treatments. Then I will take a pill once a day, the equivalent of chemo, for the next five years. The doctor said I would not lose my hair (so there, Garrett). I opted for the lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy, because the doctor felt like that would be the best procedure for me. He said that my cancer is 1.2 centimeters, which is good as far as stages of cancer go. Most likely it is a level one cancer. In other words, it can be cured. That is great news! I guess I won't really know if all the cancer is gone until they get the results of the tissue that is removed during surgery. I'm praying that my lymph nodes are cancer free. The doctor seems optimistic about that. So, all in all, it was a great appointment.
I am learning how tangible prayer is in the life of the recipient. It feels like a shield of protection, a vital part of this strong armor that nothing bad can penetrate. It is humbling to know that that strength comes from the power of prayer. It is my prayer that everyone that is praying for me will keep on praying. I am so grateful!

I wish I could post everything that my Mom has said- She is absolutley incredible she gives so much strentgh to everyone around her. I am so grateful that my Mom has a very low level cancer. It's amazing how Heavenly Father cares and absolutley feels complete love for each one of his children even though they have to go through something hard. Monkey and I were thinking of our Heavenly Father thinking how incredibly hard it must of been for him to watch his son suffer and die for the sins of the world. After the Savior pleaded with his Father to remove his pain Heavenly Father still did not...... Because he knew this was what had to happen....... what would make all of us come back to him. So he allowed his son to go through more pain then all of us have ever felt. I can;t imagine how Heavenly Father felt and feels watching his children go through these things but I know whatever we go through Heavenly Father just wants us to be happy. My Mom said today, "You can never feel complete Happiness without feeling complete sorrow or pain." My Mom has thought me a lesson that I hope I never loose- Always ask for what we need and want and have complete faith that it will happen.... but always put the Lords will first and understand that no matter what it is the best way. I hope through this whole thing I can become as strong as my Mom is. I love her so much and I am anxious to learn so much more from her.

February 4, 2011 our whole family found out that my sweet Mother has cancer....
I don't really know what to say right now only if anyone reads this please will you say prayers for her.

24th Birthday

Thank you Jenn for the cute outfit!!!!! I love it!

Peek a....

BOO!

I just love this little guy... I can't believe he is going to be one year old on Tuesday. And I can't believe I buzzed his head.... hahaha Oh well at least he can pull it off! I love you little boy!

I am 24 years old.... WEIRD! I am so use to everyone calling my little Mamie Sue and now that doesn't fit too well. I am getting up there!! I had a lot of interesting thngs happen on my birthday but I will talk about that later. I will just focus on what we did to celebrate. Monkey and I have been savin up so on my birthday we could go all out and celebrate him finishing his first semester of Optometry school, our anniversary, and my birth!!! So my amazing in law took Belle and Cash over night..... Pulling out of the drive way without my kids was there weirdest feeling. I have not been without a child over night for 2 years. I didn't know what to do with myself. Monkey made me scream out the car window!!! Hahaha I felt like we were teenagers. Then Monkey and I went and checked into our hotel at the Super 8 in The Dalles! We got all dressed up, I got a dress and everything! I felt like a queen. When we were all dolled up we went to the most cozy resturant called Stonehedge Gardens. We had to drive up a dirt road and in the middle of the forest was Stonehedge... it was covered in lights and flowers and it looked like a little cottage. Inside was a fire place and it looked like a cabin, and to top it off we were like the only ones there. The lights were dimmed and the food wa incredible. Monkey had duck and I ate steak. We sat forever just talking... I love talking to Monkey it always feels like we are one a first date... cheesy I know. After Stonehedge we wanted to go bowling but everything was close so we just went to Shari's and had hot chocolate and pie... I decided it's not a celebration without food so we had a lot!!

The next morning I did not wake up till like 10am! I kept waking up thinking why don't I hear Cash saying MOM MAMA MOM! hahah It felt so good to sleep in. I made Monkey watch That's so Raven with me.... hahah! Then we finally decided to get ready and we wanted to go see a movie but the only thing worth watching was coming soon so we did what I wanted most to do in a long time....... We cleaned the car!!! Having two kids and two car seats makes a car a disaster!!! CRAKERS crushed everywhere! haha I was so happy that we got that done then with a clean car we went shopping at Fred Meyer - hahah the only shop in The Dalles! Then we went for a drive and looked over all the orchards... We found our dream house... a box wooden house in the middle of no where. We decided to take a picture in front of it so when we have 6 kids we can all move in!!! hahah NOT! Then we headed back to Monkey's parents house and I was having such butterflies to see our kids! I missed them like crazy believe it or not! Belle ran to me and hugged me and Cash would not even look at me! He looked everywhere but me, I don't think he was too happy I left. Then sweet Chloris had a birthday party for Cash, Mark, and Me! We had hot dogs and chips, and Dairy free cake for Cash! When we gave Cash the cake hahah he had no idea if he wanted to eat it. Finally we got a piece in his mouth and all of a sudden he was like convolsing!!! His whole body was shaking!!! He got so excited he seriously couldn't control himself then he just went to town on the cake! It was hilarious! We all could not stop laughing. We had such a great time celebrating our birthdays.... When we left to finish off my birthday I wanted to see the Pigs down Monkeys street... so we did! Belle was fascinated by them and haha I was too! Monkey not so much! Anyways I had a birthday I will always remember.... thats for sure (in more ways then one).
