IN and UP

So Dayton has become very aventurous the last few months and even weeks so i have had my camera out whole lot. Here are just a few pics of around the house and of our trip to the park where he actually held on for a long time.

3 Years

OK so i know I'm late on this post but i did want to make it. Eric and celebrated our 3 year anniversary on March 4 with dinner at longhorn a little night alone just the 2 of us. The past three years have been such an amazing time with so many memories that will last a life time and so many more that will come. As our relationship grows we learn so much from each other. Eric is such an amazing, talented, wonderful, energetic, dedicated, lovable, funny, HOTT husband, father, friend, companion and soul mate. He always keeps me laughing and I love him so much i cant wait to spend many more year together (our Eternity)!!! LOVE YOU SWEETIE

Dayton the birthday boy!

Well today we celebrated Dayton's first birthday. Where did the year go..... i also say that now sitting here at 10:42 wondering where the day went. We woke up with Dayton this morning opened his presents from Mommy and Daddy and some family that live out of town. Dayton hung out with Aunt Nana and Braydon for a while while i cleaned, then i made 4 boxes of cakes, burnt myself and tried to make his cake look half way decent. Well fast forward a few hours...... The party began and it seemed like he had such a fun (since he cant really tell me) time opening the gifts and when it came down to singing and the cake he flipped out because he thought that everyone was screaming at him LOL but of course he got over that real quick when he saw that cake. Well i hope this year doesn't go by fast!!!
Happy Birthday Sweetie
OMG and i almost forgot he took his first few steps today on his own. GO DAYTON!!!!


early morning presents


The cake (it was worth the burn)



All the presents (thanks everyone)




Happy Birthday Dayton

Problems

So i have noticed for the past few months that things have been weird with my body. Everyone and everything i have read and heard said that your body doesn't really get back to normal for like 1-2 yrs after the baby comes so i just brushed everything off, the chills, shaking, fast weight lose (not that I'm complaining), shortness in breath and being tired always. I couldn't brush it off forever my pulse started beating fast 123 beats per min and then faster to 147 beats per min.
So this past Monday i went to the doctor's she took blood and did an EKG.... well results came back today and i have pretty bad Thyroid problem. My mom also has a Thyroid problem i have Hyperactive and she has Hyporactive. For those of you who don't know about your thyroid here is some info just in case you start have the same signs as me.

~~ What is hyperthyroidism?
The term hyperthyroidism refers to any condition in which there is too much thyroid hormone in the body. In other words, the thyroid gland is overactive
~~ What is a thyroid?
small, butterfly-shaped gland below the Adam's apple.
~~ What does the thyroid do?
controlling the body's metabolism by regulating thyroid hormones (T4 and T3)
~~ When something goes wrong..
if the gland produces too much hormone we term the condition Hyperthyroidism
if the gland makes to little, we call this Hypothyroidism.
~~ Symptoms
fast heart rate
eyes may bulge forward
nervousness
increased sweating
muscle weakness
trembling hands
weight loss
skin changes
increased frequency of bowel movements
decreased menstrual flow and less frequent menstrual flow

Well there is your patient education lesson.LOL
Now all i do is wait take pills and go to the Endocrinologists to see if it will go way with time or surgery.

So

Well for the past couple of months i have been debating the question whether or not my hair should be short or long. After my sister-in-law went short i just loved it so i thought of all the pros and cons->->->->

the PROS
- the short style is in
- faster to make cute in the morning
- i finally lost the baby weight so my face isnt FAT
- less product to use

the CONS
- Eric likes long hair

hmmmmmm and the result is

December

~ Well the Month started out with a trip to Virgina my cousin Dani is having a baby boy at the end of January and i flew up there for her baby shower. While i was up there Dayton got his first diaper rash :(. We had a great time and Dayton and I saw my great grandmother and we took a 5 generation pic. It was super fun to see all my family.
