Phoebe's 3rd Birthday Party - SpongeBob

We had Phoebe's 3rd birthday party at our house in Texas. Everyone was there, it turned out great!! We had Phoebe's bounce house out. Hardly any kids messed with the swing / playhouse, they all wanted to jump! The party was Spongebob themed and we had the cutest cake!





We had the Mudpie Company make a birthday cake for Phoebe and everyone signed the back of it. The plate turned out great! But they neglected to tell me that there's a certain pen that you need to write on it (they told me a regular marker would work and it didn't!) So Ms. Jude was very sweet to go run to Mudpie and buy the pen for me. After everyone signs the plate with the "special" pen, you let it dry for 24 hours and then bake it in the oven for 30 minutes. I was really impressed with the job they did on this plate!

Phoebe's Christmas Program 12.8.08

This was Phoebe's first time on stage and she did fantastic! If you can't tell, she's the one all the way on the right, in a red dress.

Visit to the ER

Around 9:30 on Sunday night Phoebe was climbing down from our bed to go potty. Her foot got caught in the sheet and she fell off the bed backwards. She hit the corner of my nightstand and screamed and cried so loud. My heart was broken! She had a huge lump come out and I was a little concerned because it was so big. We kept her up for almost an hour. On the way to drop her off to the sitter in the morning, she was nodding out. I began freaking out but convinced myself that I was worrying too much and scaring myself. So I told Ms. Jude (the sitter) what happened and to call me if anything doesn't seem right with her. Well she ended up calling me saying she felt warm and didn't look well in her eyes. I freaked! I left work and went to pick her up from Mother's Day Out, Michael left work as well. When I got there she was so energetic and talkative, you'd swear nothing was wrong... so I calmed down. We went and had lunch then went to Urgent Care. Well they cannot check and/or treat any head injuries... so off to the ER we went. When they finally called us back, they said only ONE parent could go back with her! Are you kidding me? I cannot be with my child, who has a head injury????!!! I was furious! But thankfully all turned out fine. They said since she wasn't showing any symptoms (vomiting, extreme tiredness, etc) that they weren't even going to do an MRI. So that was my birthday, but the best gift of all was to hear that she was okay! Michael stopped and bought me flowers and a cake... so sweet! Him and Phoe sang happy birthday to me that evening and we had cake and ice cream. The cake was super yummmmmy! :) As you can see from Phoebe's face (click on pic to view it larger)...
