Happy Birthday, I think...

So Vern made me a nice homemade card. I scanned a photo of page one below.

I thought this was a nice card until someone at work told me Stewie, the guy he drew, is always trying to kill his mother. EEEEK!

Then we get to page 2. This page concerned me so I didn't take a scan of it. Vern drew a swastika flag and a "dude" with a swastika arm band!!!!

I asked why he would draw this and give it to me for my birthday card. His response, "Oh I was bored and just felt like it."

I'm a little bit scared to go to sleep tonight...Maybe I will lock my door! :-)

HAPPY 12th BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy 12th Birthday Vern!

Today my baby turns 12. He is having a birthday celebration month! Last weekend we went to big brother John's college to visit and went out for pizza for this birthday celebration.

This morning for his actual birthday, we had a big breakfast of eggs, sausage, juice and milk. We followed this by opening his presents.

He has yet to celebrate his birthday at his father's house.

PLUS, he wants to have cake for this birthday with his grandparents!
Yep, Vern is celebrating with a birthday month.  It's OK Vern GO FOR IT and I hope the entire month is fun-filled.

Love,
Mom.

Happy 11th Birthday Vern!!!!!

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY VERN!

He couldn't WAIT to open his presents. He had present time #1 at his Grandma's last Sunday. He loved the black football from Uncle Jim and the playing catch time.

He had present time #2 the morning of his birthday at my house. These are the photos from that. We are having his birthday meal: sloppy joes, green beans, and french fries on Saturday.  He also wants a chocolate cake, with fudge filling, and chocolate frosting. Zowie is he my son or what?!?!??!?!

Yes that is his breakfast in front of him. Chocolate soy milk and a sausage patty with syrup. (Yuck)

Presents #3 are still to come from his aunt in Missouri and my parents. Both of those will arrive in the mail later this week.

I am thinking he is liking his birthday!

Happy Birthday Vern!

Hey now, I don't care if I over use the exclamation point!!!!!
That is the kind of person I am. If you know DA MOM then you know my life is like an exclamation point and I like expressing myself in the same manner in writing!!!!

Ok, so I also digress here and there...back to the blog at hand.


Today was Vern's 10th birthday.  I think he had a good day.  He woke up chipper and couldn't wait to open presents.  They never wait until nighttime for cake and then presents. No, my children hop out of bed, get dressed and run to the kitchen for presents!!!!  GIVE THEM NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

"Hi, I am awake and smiling..Ok so I may be faking really being awake but come on its 6:30 am and I just got out of bed. Can I have some slack?"

"You got me, yes I am really awake. I got my nerf tommy gun that I have been asking for!!!! SWEET. Can I shoot Larry?"

"My sister got me all these gifts, but come on a pumpkin???"

"DUDE, I got the cake I requested - chocolate with chocolate frosting!"

(Side note, DA MOM made this from scratch meaning not from a box. The frosting is real butter frosting from scratch also. It was amazing. No chemical taste.)

"What? I have to blow all these out in one breath? Let's hope I don't catch my chest hair on fire."

We also had a night of Wii Guitar Hero and Vern got to pick the meal. He chose hamburgers on buns, green beans, and potato chips.

HAPPY 10th Birthday Vern!!!!!

Vern's Birthday

No today was not Vern's birthday it was Vern's birthday.

HU?

It was Vern's grandpa's birthday today. His real name is Vern!

AH HA. Now some of you may get the connection.

Vern was excited to see his grandpa tonight and wish him Happy Birthday but the best part of the evening was their aunt Michele.

She cracked Vern and Ann up by being wild and loud and making fun of their schools. They both mentioned how much fun she was tonight. I'm glad she was able to be there for them and brighten their day.

Kudos!

HAPPY 9th Birthday Vern!

Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to youuuuuuu.
Happy Birthday Dear Vern.
Happy Birthday toooooo youuuuuuuuu.

Look at that face. He knows how to woo his mom...or any other victim for that matter.  He had a decent day in school. Had one note that he was goofing off in media center. He had an excuse that I didn't buy and he relented and said "Yes mom I shouldn't be goofing off." I am sure he said it just to shut me up but at least he is aware of what he SHOULD be doing...

I scored on his present. He told me as I was tucking him in... "Mom, you finally got me some cool presents."  I am glad he is happy with them. 

He also got to choose his cake (chocolate on chocolate and the sugar footballs were a surprise that he loved)  and his dinner. We had ham, pork and beans, fresh bread, and celery sticks.

He gets to take his treats to school tomorrow but celebrated most of it today. With the smiles and thank you's I got, I think he was one happy boy.

It's Vern's week!

Today Vern is at his dad's house. He is having his birthday festivities over there and presents will be shared. 

This next week in school Vern is student of the week. He gets pictures on the board and gets to bring his tropheys from cub scouts to display. He is pretty excited about it.  He also has treats to bring to share with his class mates.

Vern had the option to donate a book to the school library or share treats with his classmates. He chose DONUT HOLES.

Hey that is the choice I would have made at 9 years old.  Some choices you have to let them make.  I wonder how exciting 9 will be for Vern???

I bought his present this weekend. I will give it to him tomorrow and let you know how it goes. His actual birthday is tomorrow.

HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY VERN!!!!!!!!!!!
