Birthdays, Gotta Love 'Em!


We just celebrated my nephew Francisco's birthday. It was his first birthday, what fun! There's always a lot of hype about a child's first birthday. You've got to throw the biggest, bestest (I know it's not a real word-it just fits) party ever!
We all know that Moms love to go crazy for the first party and Dads... they'd just rather celebrate it like any other birthday. Well come on, we've got to give it some kind of special recognition. After all, this small child just spent their first year on this wonderful place we call EARTH.
It's a time to remember that these small children are such special, sweet spirits, that are now in our care! That each one brings something new and unique to our families. So go on and give them a wonderful "Welcoming Party"!
We all know that birthdays come and go.
Most Memorable To Me:
8th birthday-baptized
12th-a young woman
16th- lil' misses
18th- graduated
25th- "quarter of a century"
30th- finally getting somewhere!
Well I turn 32 this Thursday and it's just reminding me that I AM GETTING OLD!
I'm starting to feel every bone and muscle in my body (even the ones I didn't know about) ache. Someone please explain to me why we need to be reminded of how old we are once we turn "1"!
I think we should just enjoy life and each other each day. Let's not think about how long YOU'VE been here longer than me!
Sound good! Good, from now on "I, Rayna, promise to never ask someone their age again"!
I do promise to recognize another wonderful year with my family and friends!
For that is what it is all about!

No More BABA!

I thought this day would never come! In case you don't understand baby talk, baba is pacifer. Christina is now 2 years old and we never thought we would get that "cute little thing" away from her.
It all happened one night......
I believe it was Sunday March, 23rd. We were putting Christina to sleep and she kept playing with her "baba". I told her she better stop or it's going to break. Well it broke! We showed her and told her she couldn't use it anymore. I thought she was going to throw a fit.
Amazinling, She didn't and we've been baba free since then! I think it also helped because I had her throw it away, it made it more real for her!
I remember a couple times for nap, she was asking for it. I felt so bad and wanted to go out and buy her another one. I did go buy her a new Dora coloring book, she deserved it!
Milestone!

Call It A Come Back!

I guess everyone is into blogging again, maybe I'll try it out! I stopped writing 2 years ago because I just didn't have enough time to sit at the computer. I still don't! Everyone keeps telling me, "Oh it doesn't take that much time!" Well I don't know about your house but I have a (now) 2 year old tugging at me every time I get on the computer or phone. I have 2 "pre-teens", 12 and 10, wanting to be on also. Not to mention my husband who likes to check out his softball sites, frequently. I remember a few months ago vowing to watch less tv and stay away from the computer. I've been doing really good! I've cut back on tv shows and I've chosen to not surf the internet. So thanks ladies for helping me stick to my goal! Ha! J/k!
I also don't like to write a bunch of gibberish. I'm very anal about things I do. They have to be done "just so"! I over-think everything I do. I make list on top of list, re-read everything and of course I'm sure you'll find some misspelling or grammar error. That is going to be my goal, try not to take everything so seriously. Just go with the flow! My new motto!
So you can either enjoy my writing and life events or pick out every misspelling and grammar error. It's up to you! But please do enjoy and let's all realize together we're not perfect "in any way"! My self included!
