Cash turns two!

Saturday my sweet boy turned two and despite my best efforts of teaching cash that he's now two, (the kid can count to twenty) when you ask him how old he is he says "deuce". No idea where he picked that up from. Here are a few pics of his bday party. It was outerspace themed, we had a blast, but I also remember now why I love the community center in the summer. 

making planets out of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches left us with a see through loaf of bread, I suggested Chris bring it to work and eat it like a normal sandwich :)

 

Planets made of yarn balls :)

Jen and Miss Lilly Ryan

 

Mr. Houston James, so glad you are doing better today. Poor guy spent 24 hours sick in the hospital the next day

 

Miss Alyssa and her daddy, she is such a sweet baby, just content to sit in anyone's arms :)

 I held Miss Alyssa for a while, you can tell by the drool spot on my shirt. I really couldn't help myself though, she is so cuddly and smiley.

 And one Jackson Lehr lost his tooth on an alien cupcake!!! Now he will be able to say, an alien abducted his tooth right?

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my youngest older sister Amy! I hope you had a great day, I hope you were pampered by Matt and Alyssa gave you the best slobbery kisses and least amount of spit up yet.

Random facts about Amy on her special day
She was born on Friday the 13th and that crazy day stuck with her sense of humor

Amy, loves getting a good deal on something, she loves the thrill of hunting for it.

She does the best monkey impression, it can make you laugh, although sometimes kids that dont know her take a few steps back :) (If I had a photo of this, I promise I would post it)

She is a stay at home mom which gives her plenty of time to teach her daughter to be a monkey. Will I be suprised if thats the first animal Alyssa knows how to imitate? no.

Happy Birthday to you mimi. Love from us. :)

Visit with Uncle Darwin

Too far and few between! We need to better plan our visits, we miss Uncle Darwin. When we got in the car to leave Yuliya said, "momma, I love him", too sweet! Thank you for the birthday presents Uncle Darwin and Aunt Kathy!!

 

notice Cash's "My Aunt is hot" shirt. :)

Happy Birthday Cash

 

mmmmm brown crayon.....

 

Cash loves his dog
Cash loves to eat and feed soldier
Cash loves his blanket, his momma and daddy, and most of all his yuya.
Cash has figured out the art of getting in trouble, just smile REALLY big and hold your hands out for a hug when you hear your name in a "what are you doing tone"
Cash loves to read books, play with cars, and love love loves his hex bug
He loves putting on his socks and shoes, and repeating anything yuliya says. 


Happy birthday to  Mr. Cash. It's been an interesting two years, you have been very sweet and cuddly and destructive, my floors, couches and walls will never be the same. Thank goodness for scotch guard and washable crayons, which you and soldier both seemed to want to eat for a while!

Oriental day at school.

 The kids had oriental day at school on friday, they both came out of their class with these adorable hats walking as still and slowly as they could. (usually they run to me) They were carrying little paper togo boxes with fortune cookies and chopsticks in them. Yuliya was very excited that they had a veggie stire fry for lunch!! I thought their hats were very cute.

I promise I didnt tell her to make this face. 

See how close my hand is to cash? This is exactly how long the hat stayed on. He was not impressed.

Caveman

Cash kickin it caveman style. He has taken to sleeping UNDER his bed, but this morning I found him sleeping in his birthday suit under his bed. Luckily he did not have an accident.

Dirty couch, Funny Face

This is Cash's progress as of today. I think I might be more ready for this to end than he is, there's aquafor EVERYWHERE! I have been trying to keep it on him to keep him from itching and promote healing, but man is this stuff greasy. It doesn't help that the kid's favorite game currently is to climb on the couch and "walk the plank" slightly morbid. My white couch is now covered in greasy aquafor. Scotch gaurd, we are putting you to the test. You can tell Yuliya is extremely sympathetic towards her brother's condition.

Chicken Pox

 unfortunately, this is his better looking hand.

 this is after he's all greased up, ready for a slip and slide

  He has two sores on the bottoms of each foot poor guy

It's a wonder how both of my children had the vaccine, and both have developed chicken pox. We went to urgent care today after I decided this was no longer just a bad flair up of eczema for cash. He has these all over his feet, legs, hands, side/back and neck. Poor guy just keeps itching all day long, and saying "oww momma, oww" I've given him an oatmeal bath, coated  him in aquafor and now I swear if this child bumps into any walls he's going to just slide right off from being greased like a butterball.  Here's hoping this passes quickly Mr. Cash man.

Dog food.

This is how I found Cash this morning when I woke them up for school. Was he reading before bed? Talking to his nightlight? Looking for something under the bed? Or did he simply decide he wanted to sleep on the floor tonight? Whatever the thought process, he did NOT wake up a happy camper. Note to Cash, sleeping on the floor makes for an unhappy morning and some pretty intense side of the face sleep marks.

On a different note, when we got home,I gave the kids a few crackers to eat while dinner was cooking spaghetti. For some reason Yuliya decided to crush hers into tiny pieces and eat it. Cash had a stack of nice neat whole crackers. When Yuliya was tired of her crackers she wanted to give them to soldier, as is custom in our house. So I brought the bowl over and swept the crackers in, Cash nearly lost it. Precious crackers had just been dumped in the dogs bowl! I told him "don't worry about it, you have a whole stack of crackers in front of you" I turn to stir my spaghetti, turn back, where's cash?? Yep.....he abandoned his pile of crackers to sit on the floor and eat crushed crackers out of the dog bowl.---boys
