So last night we had movie night...me and the kids. I popped popcorn and we laid on the carpet with blankets and pillow pets and watched Monsters vs. Aliens.
When I was popping the popcorn I swear Hazel said something that sounded like Popcorn. Then she was watching the movie chomping on her snack and said Juice...so I hopped up and got her some water, handed it to her and I swear she said thank you!
She is trying...I think this is one of the things that frustrates her into behaving badly at times...she wants us to understand what she is saying. When we don't? The next best thing is to throw ourselves on the ground and kick, then get up and hit someone. I feel for her...I do that sometimes.
Hagen was sick with a fever thing...no strep or anything but his fever went up to 103.5 AFTER Tylenol! Ryan was out of town and I was toying with the idea of bringing his nap mat, the DVD player and nook, and his video games and having him camp out with me at work because I can not take off right now...we are slammed! But my niece Ashlyn said she would babysit him for the day! Thank the lord...I got alot of work done and he rested at home all day with his cousin.
I made him drink so much water yesterday that at midnight he was crying and I went to check on him and he said he wet his bed and he was sorry. "Mom, I was sleeping and woke up and was wet! I'm sorry...I couldn't make it to the potty". Sweet boy felt so bad, I told him no problem...and got him all set up with new PJ's and undies and bedding. I was EXHAUSED (I took Tylenol PM at 10:30) but felt so badly for him...he was disappointed in himself.
Destin is on my mind...and a 10 year wedding anniversary trip to the Lake of the Ozarks WITHOUT the munchkins. I cannot wait...this year is FLYING by to me?!?
Work = great...so busy but love it! Working out = Great...been going 5 days a week for an hour...no AC in the garage style gym and for some weird reason I LOVE it!
OH and huge news. I have not had sonic tea OR sweet and low for over a week! I have switched to iced green tea with lemon and Stevia. This is shocking... I wanted to just at first stop using aspartame (sweet and low), then decided I can brew my own tea, then found out that green tea helps lose weight so I brew my own green tea and take it with me to work! So proud of myself...big change!!
Saw and ex boyfriend at Gattitown on father's day. Hagen wanted to go to "Daddy"town...ha! The song that has been playing in my head since I saw him? "Unanswered prayers"...it was not a good relationship. Lots of emotional abuse there...very possessive and had a temper. Marriage and life is not perfect...it takes work sometimes, but I can honestly say that I am very happy with where my life is. I am so in love with Ryan, I have two beautiful kids that are fun to be around (minus Hazel and her tantrums), I have a great relationship with my parents, my baby brother lives about 2 miles from me and our kids are close, I have a great job and work with some great people, I have friends that know I hate talking on the phone, but when I do call we pick right up where we left off.
Anyway, just feeling very grateful lately...maybe it is the tea? It may have some happy pill effects?? Speaking of, going to doctor today to see if I can come down off one of mine...need to document this happy feeling I have now...may change if we alter the pills! Ha!

Hagen's 5th Birthday recap!
I know this post is a bit late as his birthday was almost a month ago, but I wanted to wait until he had his 5 year well visit! Did NOT know that he wouldn't be getting any shots....in fact none til he is 11! Wow! That was a GREAT surprise!
Hagen you are 34.3 pounds, 41 inches tall, and are such a doll!
You made me a mom...for that I am forever so grateful! Not only did you do that but you have been such a good kid. This year seems so big...like bigger than other birthdays. I am so excited for you and your future!
You and I have a special thing we do now before bed. You bring me an easy reader book and we snuggle up in my chair in my bedroom with the lamp and a blanket and you read to me. I love it (but kinda hate it because the books are like 50 pages long...granted there are only a few words on each...but you are still learning so it takes forever...but I will soak it all in because you will not want to snuggle with me for long...especially since I smelled like death warmed over last night).
You love Hazel. She has started to love you back...she now comes and hugs you. I love watching her watch you. She already thinks you are her hero...but you have GOT to watch what you are doing because I'm serious in that she wants to do EVERYTHING you do!
For Father's Day you wanted to take your daddy to "Daddy-town"...AKA Gattitown. So we did...
We had your birthday party at Pump It Up! You had a blast! You had about 15 friends there and got lots of water guns and stuff like that.
Nana got you a bike and Papa/Pia got you a Nook Color. You are moving away from "toys" to electronics. Your Daddy picked out your present from us...it is a shooting game for the Wii. You both love it...in fact you both argue over whose turn it is to play. I have to referee alot!
One thing we have to help you with is growing pains! You have just started to get them so we need to rub lotion on your legs or something to help the blood flow and ease the pain. Your Daddy had these too and so I'm not surprised.
At your doctor appointment you answered all the questions and I just sat there...I could tell the Doctor wanted to see how smart you were. At one point you said, "Actually, blah blah"...the doctor was shocked you said Actually!
I love you...I love you so so much. You are the best and biggest blessing to your Dad and I...

Hagen graduated pre-K!
Hagen is a graduate. I know it is only Pre-K...but this is a big one!! The age he is at right now is a biggie...or at least it is for me.
He is now going to go to Kindergarten...at a new school...all new people...I mean he only knows LLC as far as school goes so this will be a big change!
Now he will be packing his lunch every day, making sure to get in his seat before the tardy bell (that one will be hard for me too), and grow up to be an upstanding citizen. Yes I believe it starts now...in Kinder. With all the social media nowadays he needs to be looking and paranoid now for what can be brought out about him later "Did you know that president Darney did sldjflskfdjosgjiosidj in Kindergarten?!!" Upstanding citizen coming up!
Pia decided to ask me a question which meant I had to lean over to hear and I completely missed them calling his name and walking across stage. He was the first one called and I wasn't prepared. I will hang it over her head for the rest of her life.
They did a fantastic job at teaching the kids a dance to "Baby you’re a firework" by Katy Perry (I think). It was DAR.LING. Seriously so cute and most of them did all the moves. I was actually quite surprised that there were no criers or runners in the group of 64 kids! I mean, not one! Hagen's teacher Miss Laura is his main teacher. We loved her...she has taught him so much this year! Hopefully in a few more years she will teach Hazel!!
After graduation we went to Chili's and had dinner. He just seemed so big and so excited! He is now in the bigger pre-k class until he starts Kinder. My next post will be about his visit to his new school...
I feel like Hagen really grew alot this year, I mean of course all kids grow in a year. But what I mean is that he is now writing his name so much clearer, knows his address, and is even playing rougher with the guys. I'm not one that wants to raise a bully...that's not what I mean...what I mean is that he use to be the one that was so sensitive and would get his feelings hurt so easily. Now it seems that if guys are playing rougher, he just jumps right and throws a few fists too. Not too rough...but just playing.

P.S. One thing to note. Hagen has been asking when we are going to have another baby. I told him we are not going to. He was OK. Then that weekend we hung out in the baby pool outside and Hagen gasped when he saw me in my suit (I did to if we are being honest). He came up to me smiling and poked my belly and said, “I told you there was another baby in there!" Ryan has had some man talks with him about it.
P.S.S. Hagen and Ryan counted his money in his piggy bank. He had about $40 in it. Ryan asked him what he wanted to buy...he could spend it all on one thing, split it between 2 $20 things, or save some. Ryan asked how much an ice cream at Camilla's was (best hand dipped ice cream bars in the world). Ryan told him $4...Hagen said he wanted $8 so he could take me out for ice cream and he wanted to save the rest. I died. I would have just said, "well in that case...I have $40...$4/ice cream...I want 10 ice creams please!"...I was shocked...it was so sweet!
