Moment I never thought I'd see....

One year officially smoke free was yesterday May 30, 2012!  I'm so proud of myself!  I never thought I'd ever be able to actually say that, ever!  Mostly I quit because of my MS, my Neurologist told me that non smokers do better with treatment than smokers do, and he gave me Chantix.  I wanted to quit because of Noah, I actually shouldn't have started again after I had him but the stress of going back to work got the best of me!  But now I feel so much better that I don't smoke anymore, and I have extra money, not a lot cause trust me Noah gets it all! 

Now it's working on the weight, which is a slow process but it's getting there!

So I am glad to say that me and Marlboro Menthol Ultra Lights have been divorced for a year officially and I do not plan to reunite!!

I say it's Summer!

I think that Memorial day should mark the start of Summer!  Especially with this weather we have been having!  I had to work on Saturday so we got a late start to our usual first summer holiday weekend at camp!  We left to head up Saturday afternoon, once I got off work.  It was kinda rainy, we hit some rain heading up, then it rained Sunday evening to, but it was ok because we got the day dry!  Noah didn't mind, he loves puddles, not sure but I almost think he would just like if it would rain everyday so that there would be puddles to jump in!  Only bad thing was it stormed, so we had to stay in the camper, but thankfully Aunt Chrissy and Aunt Danielle had some kid movies since this Momma forgot them this time!  So we watched How to train your dragon, and Toy Story 3, which we also watched again this morning!  He really liked that one! 
Poppy brought his tractor up with him so he had lots of fun riding that around, and then Pop told him he could ride it through the puddles so he thought that was the best thing since sliced bread!

Looks like a little old man

First boat ride with Grammy and Poppy!

he took a break for a minute to push the dump truck, till he realized this wasn't as fun as his tractor!

bath time to get my boy clean again!  yuck! 

Noah and Pop, heating up their ice cream....yes HEATING UP THEIR ICE CREAM! LOL

the motorcycle made it to McVeytown with us! 

We had a pretty good first night, we went to Harshbarger's for pizza and wings for supper, then to camp and had all of the above fun!  Then Noah didn't go to sleep until about 10:30pm or maybe a little before and actually slept in Sunday until 8am!  That's a first even for him EVER!  Sunday we ran to Wal-Mart which is a hour or so trek there and back and then got dirty, rode the tractor, took a nap, got up rode the tractor ran around got dirty then watched movies!

My sister and Parker! 

They were decorating cookies!

Making Eclair cake for our picnic

WOW Mommy visiting my Aunties' is so much easier at camp!

having a snack, during How to train your dragon

what's better than a front row seat?!

he's my world

oh no, Pop is trusting him to drive again!

heading home!

Once we got home, everyone except Noah got showers.  He had to wash his tractor so he was going to get dirty and wet again anyway, so I figured I shouldn't bother bathing him until he's done cleaning that up!  Here it is!

all done now taking it for a quick drive up the yard!

We had a really good weekend!  I'm glad we had a chance to go up to camp, although it wasn't the same this time because usually everyone is up there but this time since there was a Wedding, nobody was just us.  It was kinda dull but fun none the less!
I'm off tomorrow to so Noah and I get to spend one more day together, I'm not sure what exactly we are going to do yet.  I have thought about it but I'm just not sure yet!

Happy Memorial Day, I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend!  Thank you to all of the military, and Veterans as well.

The Greatest Show On Earth!

Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus that is!  If there was ever something that lived up to your expectations, or what expectations the advertisements put in your mind, it would be this Circus!  This was my second time at a Ringling Bros. Circus and I loved this time every bit as much as the first time!  This time however it was a themed show, "Dragons" the first time I went there was no theme.  That made it a little different for me! 
I was going to take Noah last year, but his attention span at one wasn't the best, this year was the perfect year!  He LOVED it!  My Mom came with us and it was her first time also, and she LOVED it to!!  It was perfect all around day!  I couldn't have picked a better way to spend my day then with my son and my Mother!

They get ya in the parking lot now! lol

best $14 motorcycle ever bought, he hasn't left it since he got it!  He's even sleeping with it now!

Clowns started the show!

This was right over our heads!  Literally had to put your head back and look up!  So awesome!

I thought the elephants were amazing last time, and they were just as amazing this time to!

I think this is pretty amazing to, I took a video of it.  This was probably Noah's favorite part to!

We couldn't resist!  Noah and I got one done with the Tigers to!

My silly clown!

I think the pictures speak for themselves!  My favorite part of the circus was the elephants, it was the first time and it still was this time to!  I liked the lions and tigers to!  Noah says he liked the lions and tigers best and the motorcycles.  I believe it because he was talking about the lions and tigers since before we even went, and that darn motorcycle toy he wanted from the circus hasn't left his side since he got it! 
Every part of the circus is neat, it's just awesome!  I think it's something that we will be doing every year now!  Noah really liked it, and so did Grammy to!  When Parker is old enough we'll be going with him to!  It will be a family affair!

Tomorrow is back to reality for one day, then Saturday while Mommy works which hopefully I get in early and out early. Noah will be at a wedding with my Mom, then we are headed to camp for the rest of the hot humid holiday weekend!  Yay!  Poppy is already planning boat trips with Noah!  What a team they make! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!!
