5 Months

Happy 5 months sweet boy You are learning to grasp for things now and want to hold your own bottle
You love to feel your Daddy’s whiskers with your feet
You smile and giggle when Mommy chases you
You love for us to read you books, especially “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom”
You are so curious about everything and don’t want to sit still anymore
Still love to drooooool all over everything ๐Ÿ™‚
Your favorite song is “You are my Sunshine”

We love you sweet boy!
Don’t grow up toO fast now…

HAPPY 9TH ANNIVERSARY TERENCE!!!
I LOVE YOU TODAY MORE THAN EVER & YOU ARE THE DADDY I ALWAYS KNEW YOU WOULD BE! I’M SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU MY LOVE!

(We plan on celebrating Saturday because it’s hard to do anything in the middle of the week)

Hope you all are having a good week!

Remember…..

TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!

Bridal Photos 2001

I thought I’d share with you some of my bridal portraits. Terence and I will celebrate our 9 year wedding anniversary tomorrow and I’ve been meaning to scan most of the pictures from our wedding into the computer, but I always seem to put it off. As you can see dress styles have changed a lot over the years! I love the TV show “Say Yes to the Dress” I can’t imagine spending $10K-$30K on a wedding gown that is ridiculous!!! I think we paid $299 for my dress & it’s just sitting in a Rubbermaid box in the attic. I know Connor won’t want it and his bride will probably have her own style someday. I saw Chelsea Clinton’s wedding dress on People.com the other day and it’s SO pretty! I love looking at wedding dresses still to this day ๐Ÿ™‚

It’s Gonna Be a Scorcher

We had a great weekend and as always it was a whirlwind and goes by so fast. The temperatures here have been well over 100 degrees and are going to continue to be for at least the next week. I cannot WAIT until fall right now. I hate to sweat or anything having to do with hot weather. I’m looking forward to taking Connor to the pumpkin patch and dressing him up for Halloween ๐Ÿ™‚ Do you think it’s stupid to dress your baby up for Halloween at this age? I like to do it because it’s so cute, it’s more for me and a photo opportunity than actually trick-or-treating. Although I wouldn’t mind strolling him around so I can get some candy! ha..ha…

Me & my hot date at Don Pablo’s

We ate out more than usual this weekend because we have been putting off going to the grocery store and it never got done this weekend. Fail. I have promised myself we will go tonight because we have ABSOLUTELY no food in our house…no milk…no bread…nothing!!! It’s too expensive to eat out so we need to go. I do use a lot of coupons when we eat out though and we always order water. I have a coupon for Olive Garden, Macaroni Grill, Red Lobster, Firehouse Subs, & a few others I can’t think of right now. That is the ONLY reason I subscribe to the Sunday paper is for the coupons.

Last week I noticed in the CVS ad they had Pampers diapers with $10 CVS reward bucks. One per card holder. So I went by and paid $21.99 for a box, but I got $10 in reward bucks, so I’ll go by there this week and get another box for $11.99…so it’s like getting them both almost half off. Gotta shop for those deals! Diapers are expensive!

I had to take a picture with white cheese dip for Bonnie
She has always loved white cheese dip, but apparently they don’t have ANY Mexican restaurants in Vegas that have white cheese dip. Mexican food is NOT scarce here in TX! ha..ha..
They have the BEST sopapillas there
The sauce tastes like melted Krispy Kreme donut glaze
Just to prove how hot it was…..120!!!!
I’m meeeellllltttttiiiiiinnnnnggggg!!!!

After church on Sunday we met our friends Javier, Karen, and Jasmine at Macaroni Grill
I got to use that $7 off coupon ๐Ÿ™‚
Connor always does SO good in the nursery at church and the ladies love him. It makes me so happy that my baby behaves so well! They always say he wins the award for best baby ๐Ÿ™‚ Now if he can only keep this up as he gets older ๐Ÿ˜‰ I’ve been asked to volunteer in the nursery and I think I am going to do it because they really need the help. We really love our new church and it’s been such a blessing that we’ve found somewhere we fit in and can become a part of a church family.
Here is the very preggo Karen and baby J
Karen is expecting a boy in early September, but I don’t think she’ll make it that long!
Karen was one of the first people I met when I moved to Fort worth. She walked into the bank I work at and we hit it off immediately. She’s just a great person and a wonderful Mommy! I’m so excited for little “C” to arrive!

We also had my niece’s 10th birthday last night and did some other run around town things. The weekends are just so jam packed right now! Terence and I will celebrate our 9 year anniversary on Wednesday so hopefully we’ll get to do something fun for that ๐Ÿ™‚
I hope you all had a great weekend!

"Faux-hawk"

“My Momma likes to style my hair!”
“You can see how much I like it!”
ha..ha..I think he was over it after 10 seconds!

He’s got cradle cap going on or baby dandriff…..any suggestions on how to help this ya’ll?

Friday I’m in LOVE

It’s Friday I’m in LOVE ya’ll!
Join in with Summer & friends ๐Ÿ™‚
I’m in love with this moment…
Connor and his Daddy sleeping together…it melts my innards
I am really liking frozen yogurt right now. That seems to be the new craze these days. First it was cupcakes & now it’s yogurt. You walk in choose your yogurt flavor, choose your toppings, then they weigh it. It’s super cheap too! I’ve never paid more than $3 for it.

THREE THINGS:
1. Connor’s “faux hawk”
2. Ritter Sport chocolate bars
3. Straws from IKEA $2
BUMBO
The greatest creation ever!
So much easier to feed the baby with.
Okay that’s about all for today!
What are you in LOVE with this week???

Handsome Feller

I just had to take some cute pictures of Connor in his new hat
Love posing for Momma
He’ll be 5 months on August 4th (which is also Terence and my 9th anniversary)

He’s still a drooly boy!

You are growing way to fast my love!
Love, Mommy

Fun Times with Mom

MY Mommy left yesterday morning…..
WAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! BOOHOO!!!!
Okay, now that I got that out I can continue this post……
Here is me and little Mister
We had the best time while my Mom was here and I don’t think I washed a bottle once!
Thank you Momma for all you do for us & we miss you!
Nana & Connor at The Cheesecake Factory
We sat in the perfect booth for a baby
MIRRORS…MIRRORS…Everywhere!!!

My Godiva cheesecake
I seriously have dreams about this dessert it’s so good!

Mom got a macadamia nut cheesecake
We also did a little shopping and tried some hats on Connor
“Howdy there partner!”

Mom got Connor his FIRST car
She said that he picked it out himself ๐Ÿ™‚
On our way to Ikea Mom & I stopped and got 7-11 Dr. Pepper Slurpee’s
They don’t have 7-11 gas stations in Arkansas can you believe it???

Here I am misbehaving in the toy store..ha..ha..
The glasses are so ME!

Our last night together we ate out at Red Robin….YUMMMMMM….
Connor’s helping Daddy with his massive burger

I love it there because you can substitute any of their burgers with a garden burger. I don’t eat beef so that is perfect for me!

Me & my sweet Mommy

We are trying to get back into our normal routine again. It was so nice having a pair of helping hands around for a few days. I want to move home to Arkansas so bad! Maybe someday……
Connor woke up around 4:00 am this morning and was WIDE awake and just smiling and laughing….I knew we shouldn’t have taken that nap together last night, but it was so nice! I hope you all are having a good week!
