Skidders Socks & Shoes

Connor and I recieved some really cool socks and shoes called “Skidders“. 
Innovative and hassle-free, Skidders introduces a new way to wear socks and shoes.

About Skidders:

A durable, non-slip outsole and cushioned insole will comfort and protect his/her feet during indoor and outdoor adventures. You will appreciate the pull-on design for easy on-and-off ability and she will appreciate the effortless cool look that little kids crave. Keep feet comfortable and stylish as our upper designs are colorful without the constraint of shoes. Our lightweight outsole provides the stability, flexibility, and traction that new walkers need.

Connor got some Skidders shoes & socks.  First of all let me say how CUTE they are!  Connor is just starting to walk and he falls a lot!  We have hardwood and tile floors & those can be very slick for a new walker to manouver on.  These have a gripper on the bottom of the sock and it’s almost impossible for him to skid around & they are so easy to get on and off.

Look how cute the camo shoes are!
This is what the bottom of the Skidders socks look like
Skidders even has adult sized socks with grippers for ME too!
I’m loving this leopard print…so cool right?  I slip and fall more than I’d care to admit…ha…ha…so I think I’m going to like wearing these 🙂  Thank you Skidders for our stylish new socks and shoes!

Help the B’s Adopt!

KLaw has designed a print for sale in her Etsy store to help Summer & Adam in their quest to become parents. They worked together to design this awesome print in memory of Daddy Butch.

And the best news about this print? That 100% of the proceeds from this print go to the B’s to help cover costs for their adoption process.

And, even better… the print at a discounted rate, just for you guys

So what are you waiting for?  I got mine today and I’m so excited to get it 🙂

<3 YOU SUMMER & ADAM :)

Yard Re-Do, Park Fun, & Big Boy Chair

Terence and I had a landscape guy come out today and look at our front yard.  We are thinking of getting the flower beds re-done.  Right now it’s just the plants the builder put in when we moved in.  They are looking pretty bad right now too!  We also want to get some landscape lighting and maybe some new pendant lighting for the foyer too!  We shall see….

The picture below is the kind of lighting we are looking into…it flows up onto the house and I think it makes ALL the difference….

We can’t get enough of the park these days 🙂

We are going to get Connor a new big boy chair.  We are thinking of going with the Recaro Pro Ride.  If you know my husband you know he researches EVERYTHING!  We went and tested this seat last week and really liked it!  It has a lot of cushion in it and was rated very well by consumers.
More from this past weekend coming soon……

Mustach-eo!

Connor and I had a dress rehearsal yesterday.  He was helping me try on mustaches for when Daddy and I go visit the Mustache Queen herself 🙂  I don’t think he liked it too much do you?  I look incredibly awesome with my crooked mustache on right?

AT THE PARK
Just a swinging
I think it’s safe to say we’ll have lots of future visits to the park.  We just WON’T go at night when it’s 55 degrees out!  It was a little chilly that night, or maybe it’s because Terence and I just devoured some Braum’s double dip ice cream cones…..whoops! 😉
Happy Weekend All!!!

Days Go By

Last night we ate dinner at 5 Guys Burgers and Fries. They opened a restaurant up about 5 miles from our house…this is not a good thing! They have an amazing veggie burger called a grilled cheese with all the toppings. My favorite is the grilled onions! The cajun fries are SO good too! YUMMY!
(Typical Terence reaction when I try to take pictures…”What are you doing???”)

After we get home from our trip to New York I want to really start dieting. Terence and I both really need to get into shape and quit telling ourselves we are going to and just DO IT!

It’s so easy to keep in the car and take with us. That way we don’t have to worry about dirty high chairs 😛

I’ve been thinking about Easter outfits already.  I know shocker!  They had a great deal on BABYSTEALS today for these cute ties for boys.  I got this one for Connor to wear 🙂  So cute!
Also – Just FYI – Starbucks has cake pops now!
I tried the tiramisu and it was DELICIOUS-O! 
And thank you TommeeTippee for the lovely owl sippee cup!
You are now my favorite sippee cup peeps in the whole wide world now 🙂

Blueberry Boy

The other night we gave Connor some frozen blueberries to eat.  Can we say mess???
He got it all over his face, down his arms, and on his hands.  I eventually had to put him in the tub and let him soak a little bit.  He still looked like a little smurf though 😛  You can tell from the look on his face that he thoroughly enjoyed this experience.  Maybe a little too much…..
Poor little dude is getting his top two teeth in.  I know it had to have felt good on his gums.
We also celebrated Terence’s Grandma’s 85th birthday last weekend.  Happy birthday Grandma!!!
The girls at work and I started a contest to see who could walk the furthest in a month.  We all bought pedometers and are wearing them every day.  At the end of the month we are going to see who walked the furthest and wins the $$$!  Don’t they know I am going to New York in a couple weeks???  I have this in the bag yo! LOL!!!  We shall see….

A Winner, A Blessing, & A Few Prayer Requests

Okay –

First of all I want to apologize because I never did announce the winner of the Tic Tac Toe Giveaway!  I am so behind I should slap myself 😛  The winner is #25

Email me at beckylbranch@gmail.com with your address!
I’m so excited today because one of my prayers have been answered!  Megan and Brent are expecting baby #2 and I am over the moon excited for them 🙂  I know they’ve been in everyone’s prayers over the past year and God is so good!  Thank you Lord for this blessing in their lives!
I also have a few prayer requests:
Terence’s Granddaddy is having another surgery on his head again this morning.  I ask that you pray for healing and specifically that the tumor has not spread to his brain.  We love our Granddaddy so much!
My best blog buddy Summer has been on my mind a lot lately.  I’ve been praying for her to receive the child God has specifically picked out for her and Adam.  I can’t think of two better parents for a child to have.  In my heart I know that baby is out there somewhere and just waiting to unite with them 🙂
I pray that the adoption journey they have embarked on will be short and that God will bring a child into their hearts and home soon!  If you would like to spread the word please help by placing a link to their adoption site on your blog.
We can’t wait to come see you in a couple weeks Summer and Adam!
Love, Becky

I’M HAVING TROUBLE WITH COMMENTS LATELY THROUGH BLOGGER.  NOT WITH MY BLOG, BUT WITH YOURS! 
  • For some reason when I visit other people’s blogs and the comments are in pop up form it’s not working for me and I am unable to leave a comment.
  • If the comment form is embedded then I am able to comment.
Has anyone else had these issues?  I know a lot of you like the pop up window better…but it doesn’t work for me and it’s driving me NUTS!
