Monster Jam 2010
Let me start this out by saying that Kellar loves Monster Jam, the kid knows all the trucks and the drivers and he’ll stop whatever he’s doing to catch Monster Jam. Joey and I bought Kellar tickets to the show in Little Rock, AR a month or so before Christmas and I think we’ve probably been just as anxious as he was just because we couldn’t wait to see his reaction. The weather got pretty bad there on Friday so we really weren’t even sure if we were gonna be able to make it, snow and ice hit the area pretty hard and being that it was a 2 hr drive I was a little afraid of being on the road with other drivers because goodness knows that some people don’t know how to drive on dry roads and when you throw ice in there it can get ugly quick. Kellar woke up Saturday morning and asked if we were going to Little Rock so we looked up the weather and decided to give it a shot, if it got to bad we could always turn around. The farther we got in AR the whiter the trees got, it was so pretty which also meant the farther we got the worse the roads became. I was a nervous wreck! We made it to Little Rock and got checked into our rooms and rested for a hour or so then headed to the Verizon areana, by now the roads were slick and cars were sliding off the roads and I was nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof. Once we got in and got seated Kellar spotted a few trucks and he was so ready for them to come out! I love love loved the look of excitement on his face, I loved hearing him squeal and laugh and point and clap, it totally made my day to see him so happy and excited! He got a Grave Digger shirt which unfortunately wasn’t there, Kellar would’ve been over the top had he or Max D been there! After the show we let Kellar get down and stand in the snow, he was amazed with the snow so for those that aren’t from TX or let me say my area in TX please understand we don’t get that here haha so Kellar had no idea what it was, that too made me giggle at him! I think the trip was awesome, my aunt and uncle tagged along and they adore Kellar and he adores them, they see how funny and amazing he is and love to spend time with him. We got home and noticed that Kellar was running a fever, I felt horrible and that it was somehow my fault since we got him out and it was so cold, his fever was up over 103 and with tylenol and motrin it never got below 102.3. I took him in to see his pedi this mornign and Kellar has strep but his lungs look and sound good so for that I’m thankful! We are planning another trip for the end of the month to see Monster Jam in the Dallas area, this one will have Kellars favorite trucks there, I’m already excited!!!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year….
Wow another Christmas has come and gone and 2010 is here. Where did the last year go, it has flown by and my little man is closer to being 4 years old! Christmas this year was lots of fun, Kellar was so funny opening up his gifts. The excitement and the squeals that he let out was priceless. We spent Christmas Eve at MeMe’s and Paws and time with family is always great, I love it. Christmas day we went to my Memaw Pages and then that eveing we went over to Courtneys and Shanes. Kellar had a blast, he and Syd had toys everywhere but those all got pushed to the side when the “cop motorcycles” came out! Kellar loves his, he tells me to follow him he’s driving to Gander Mountain. My house is busting at the seams with toys, I have got to do some serious cleaning of the ol’ toy box soon. Joey, Kellar and I spent New Years Eve with some great friends eating, popping fireworks and playing games. The kids had a blast. New Years day we lounged around the house and did nothing till about 7:30 or so when we headed to MeMes and Paws to eat some peas and cabbage then we headed over to Kellars Brookie-poos to snack some more and pop more fireworks. I hope that 2010 brings much happiness to you all!
It’s almost here…
And I am still quite a few presents short of being prepared! Why why why do I wait till the last week to try and do my Christmas shopping? I pretty much had Kellar taken care of months ago. We went and seen Santa and he told Santa everything he wanted and I’m pretty sure Santa had to hire extra elves to take care of all that but he’s worth it right? Kellar isn’t scared or phased by the “Santa is watching you” threat, at what age does that work? I know that I royally stink at updating this blog here lately, between me working and coming home and trying to take care of household things and spend time with Kellar I’ve let the blog slide! Good news though is Kellar is doing amazing! He is officially potty trained, even wakes me up at midnight to tell me he needs to go poop, though I am estatic that he’s telling me we have soooo got to work on the timing of this! He’s growing up on me, though he’s only 3 he is so grown up acting, his conversations that I overhear as he’s “talking” on the phone make me giggle. He is very independent and wants to do things on his own but there are days that he wants to crawl up in my lap and he’ll tell me “hold me like a tiny baby mom”, I love it! Well I have Christmas cards to get addressed and I’m not getting that done sitting here…We hope that each of you have a Very Merry Christmas!
Got em…
Kellar finally got the first round of his h1n1 vaccinations, whew! I’m sure finding the 2nd shot will be as hard as it was getting him the 1st, but at least we do have some “immunity” to it now hopefully. I’ve still been pretty much keeping Kellar in as much as possible, we have ventured to eat a time or two but daycare and stores are still not even on our radar at the moment, maybe after this week passes and it’s been 2 weeks since the shot I’ll get braver. I’m sure some probably think that not only me but other parents are nuts for getting our children vaccinated with such a “new” vaccine, but I made the decision that I felt was best for my child, just as I chose to get him the “new” seasonal vaccine, yes that’s right it’s new from year to year as well. There are lots of things that truly baffle me when it comes to vaccinations and the choices that some make but that’s a whole nother post all together. I am sooooo ready for Christmas to get here! I have been looking online at tickets for the Polar Express train ride, I think that will be lots of fun if I can plan it around Joeys work schedule. Still notta lot going on round here but we love it!
I’m a horrible horrible blogger…
Did I mention I’m a horrible blogger? I have really let Kellars blog get behind on updates, I’m terribly sorry for those few readers that we still have. Kellar is doing fabulous, he’s loving spending time with Joey during the day while I work, we are still keeping him out of daycare and avoiding public places for now. I know it’s driving Kellar insane, bless his heart he’s used to being a boy on the go, staying holed up in the house on the weekend is not something he’s used to doing. I’m not gonna be the type of mom that acts all scared and worried about the flu then turn around and take my kid to the store where there are no telling how many people walking around sick, we’re not going out to eat and basically anything fun that can’t happen inside the house we’re not doing. Kellar is growing so much and I’ve probably mentioned this before but 3 is such a fun age, I know it will only keep getting funner! He talks up a storm and has such a grown up vocabulary, he is seriously the funniest kid I know! Monster trucks are a big hit around here, he loves to watch Monster Jam and we are planning a trip to take him to see them which I know he is going to love! Joey has been going hunting some and now Kellar is thinking he has to wear cammo and talks about going hunting, Joey and my dad can’t wait to take Kellar deer hunting! Potty training is going great, one day he just decided to really start going to the big potty and he’s been doing awesome since, sure he has a occasional accident and for some reason chooses to wake me up at 11 at night needing to go poo-poo but hey at least he’s telling me. So this is what’s been going on in our neck of the woods, waiting on the h1n1 vaccine and season flu shots to arrive so hopefully we can get back to “normal” around here. Please say a prayer that we all stay healthy around here till then!
