He's 30

I swore this year Milo's birthday post would be on his birthday. Last year I was a week late. Who knew that this year I would be 9 months pg and not doing much in blog land. It's still the 20th (even though it's 10:30) so I'm good to finish this on 'his day'.

Today Milo and I are officially 'in our 30's' together. Finally, it's only taken him 2 years to catch up. He had a good day at work, had lunch out with his mom (they work in the same town right now) and we all got together for dinner and cake after he got home. But the night wasn't without some fun surprises...stay tuned.

The only thing he has said he wanted this year was Guitar Hero III for his XBOX. His mom and stepdad gave it to him after searching stores throughout the Pacific Northwest! The smile on his face could be real (he doesn't smile very naturally) but this is him faking surprise. Like I said it's been out in all the stores and I was the one to stumble on it when we went shopping last Sat. I was afraid if I didn't get it they wouldn't have it if I came back later. Marion was a little disappointed that he was going to know about it, she loves giving surprises. So he played along for her and the kids and acted wild with surprise. So glad he doesn't play this all the time (it's very rock) but with all the TV show on hiatus it's been a lot more often. Sometimes I feel like a rocker listening to it. Now when will they make Guitar Hero Country? (ha!)

I even slacked on the cake. What can I say, when I was going to make it this afternoon I hit a wall and needed a nap instead. So I called him, told him the truth and gave him his options. He chose a Dairy Queen cake. And they had one with a Transformer on it. The boys loved it!

I went back and read his birthday post from last year. All of it still stands. Well except now it's more like over 7000 songs on his iPod, he graduated from college in June, he sleeps during the night as opposed to working graveyard, he got a new (to him) car that his head doesn't touch the roof (that's a big one for him) and so much more. (Forgive me Milo, I want to finish this ON your birthday and at 10:30, it's getting difficult)

I am so blessed to have him in my life as cheesy at that sounds. He doesn't care that I have a super failing pregnant mind right now and his presents weren't wrapped (for the record, they were in a box). And he didn't have a card from me or the kids. He doesn't care that I growl at him in the night (well, maybe a little), he makes jokes about it (I have no idea I'm doing it, I swear!).

I Love You so much, thanks for all you do for me, the kids and your family in general. I can't wait to see you with another new baby boy (not much time now).

Happy 30th Birthday Milo !!

And for the fun surprise (thank me later that there are no photos). After we ate the kids were playing around, not too crazy, just loud. Nathan came up to me and was all sorts of snuggly and started telling me he didn't feel well. That his tummy hurt. I figured it did because he isn't one to say he's sick all the time. I rubbed his back and he seemed fine. No fever or anything like that. He turned down cake and told me he wanted to go lay upstairs by himself. I said fine after cake we are going home, it was close to bedtime.

He started up the stairs, turned around and walked towards me and threw up all. over. me. the table, my cake and the floor! I mean all over! It was so gross I didn't even think about documenting it. He was so embarrassed he started to cry. We went and put him in the tub and I sat around with a wet shirt and pants until Milo ran home and got clean clothes so we could get home.

I'm so hoping it was a random attack and that it was from eating too much junk or drinking too much (I saw him guzzle 3-4 full glasses of water after dinner). I'm just going to play it by ear through the night and morning. He wants to go to school so bad, it's their Holiday Party tomorrow at noon and I'm one of the parent helpers needed for their stations. So I'm off to bed, crossing my fingers he really is healthy and can party away tomorrow. Any random attacks from your kids this holiday season?

p.s. I hate Blogger tonight and the random double spacing or squishy spacing at the bottom of this post. It took me 20 minutes to get this post decent! UGH!!
