Party Planning

I have been planning Nyah's 1st birthday party. I am trying to figure out what to put in the goody bags. There are going to be kids ranging from ages 6 mo to 14 yrs. This is where I need the help!

Do I make bags for each age?

Is there a cut off age for goody bags?

Do you have any ideas of treats/toys that work for all ages?



HELP, any suggestions are welcome and needed:)

My little SNOT Factory

Nyah has had RSV type stuff for 22 days! I took her in to the Dr. on friday and they said there wasn't anything to they could do. We just had to wait it out unless she started getting a fever. Well she hasn't had a fever, actually she acts just fine. She hasn't been eating a whole lot but I think that is because she has started getting more teeth. She turned 10 months old on March 13th, at that time she had 2 teeth. Now she has 6! At this rate she will have all of her teeth by the time she is 1.
This morning I took her in to get suctioned and there wasn't a whole lot coming out. Which was great, going twice a day for the past 21 days has been very traumatizing for her. So I am hoping we are on the downward slope.

We are very excited that we are going to be buying a house soon. We went and talked to our lender yesterday and got the ball rolling. So were on now the hunt for our new home. I am excited to start a new chapter in our life. I am really excited to put my knowledge that I have learned watching HGTV into action! LOL. On the other hand I am very sad to be leaving the house that we live in now, even thou it is not ours we treated it as if it was and it felt like home to us. This is the house I have lived in the longest in my life.

Catching up

This week has been really busy, I have been doing my preceptorship at the hospital...ONLY 2 more shifts! yipppeeee

Tuesday was Justin's 29th birthday, I had to work but I arranged it so that I could come home early. So I left at 2 and we went and had massages and then went to dinner at the Brazilian Steak House. Then back to his mom's to pick up Nyah and have cake and open presents. He got a new game for his play station 3 and a bag for softball.

Nyah has been sick the last week or so. It started last Friday a few days after her Dr.'s appointment. She had a little congestion and cough, so I called to see if there was anything I could give her over the weekend if she got worse. They said "No, if she becomes lethargic or has a fever bring her in to the ER". So I watched her over the weekend and yesterday she didn't seem to be getting any better. So I called to make her a appointment and of course yesterday was her Dr.'s day off. So anyway after all was said and done it took 3 hours and 3 different facilities to have her see a doctor, have her suctioned and tested for RSV! It was very frustrating. For the next 5 days we have to take her to the hospital and have suctioned at least 2 times a day. It is so sad to see them suction her .

Catching up

Well I have had lots to blog about, but not enough time nor the energy to do it. Nyah turned 9 months old yesterday and she started crawling. I finish with school this coming Friday. Justin has been busy working and playing city league basketball here and there. A couple weeks ago he played in the Superbowl Tournment, which was fun! Chris and Matt came down and it was fun to hangout with them.

LOOK Mutta, we shut them OUT! Wish you were here to play with us!!

Chris and Justin(in the background)
Around the same time of the Tournment the weather was really nice. So one afternoon we took Ny to the park. It was so nice to be out in the sun, I am ready for spring!




Today Nyah spent most of the day with Grandma and Grandpa, I went and did some shopping for the Valentines Dinner that I am planning for the
guys at the fire station tonight. When I went over to pickup Ny Grandma did her hair really cute! I have been trying to think of different ways to do her hair, the headbands aren't working so well lately. The sides of her hair are growing really fast but the back is still somewhat short. Here are a couple of pictures...
