Happy 30th

Terence turns 30 today!
He was a good sport this morning and wore the “30” glasses!  I love you so much and you are the best husband, dad, and friend I could ever ask for.  I’m so glad I get to spend my life with you!

Terence’s Mom, Dad, and our niece Arielle came over before I left for work to eat birthday waffles.  Their family has been doing birthday waffles since Terence was a kid 🙂  I’m so glad they came and we got to celebrate together!

We are going to celebrate again this Saturday and go out to dinner.  I love you babe and I hope you have a great day today!  Happy 30th and many more to come…….

xoxo Becky

Ulubulu Giveaway!

I have a great giveaway in store for you all today!  Ulubulu is an awesome company that makes silly bibs & personalized pacifiers.  They also have several more great products that can be found here.
“Designed with safety, function, style and affordability in mind ULUBULU is becoming a major player in the baby products industry.  All of our products are tested for safety so parents can have piece of mind and we only make products our own children would use.”
Connor LOVED this bib!  We tried it out the other day and he’s been wearing it ever since.  I put Cheerios or Goldfish in it and he wears it around the house or while eating.  It’s great because I can put the snacks in the bib itself and he can grab them and eat….and if he drops a few it doesn’t land on my floor because the bib catches it!  I LOVE THAT!
 See how easy it is for him to feed himself?
Also included in the giveaway is this adorable “My Mom Rocks” pacifier 🙂

 We use this bib every day for snack time & dinner now 🙂

Would you like to win an Ulubulu bib and pacifier?

Mother’s Day 2011

I had a great Mother’s Day this year!  I remember last year how sleep deprived I was with a new baby and this year I got to sleep in until 11:00 am!!!  Thanks Terence for letting me get some much needed sleep!  The best gift ever….in my opinion….
Our weekend was very laid back & we spent time together enjoying the nice weather & running around town.  Terence is in the process of turning my dining room into a home office so we’ve got parts all around the living room we are trying to keep Connor out of.  I’ll show the finished product when we get it all set up on the blog.  Terence stepped on a piece of the desk he’s been building and we had to order another piece to it….oops! 
I am so thankful for my Mom, Mother in law, and all the other women in my family who are motherly role models.  What would we do without them? I’m so thankful for all of YOU!
So here is a re-cap of our weekend 🙂
It’s so hard to get him to look at the camera these days!
He loved riding this whale

My booger – 14 months

Seems like we end up at the park every weekend these days….

I just love how when I holler for him to “come here” he runs the other direction now…..

My picky eater actually LOVED some corn. It’s like pulling teeth sometimes to get the kiddo to eat.

So I have to give the hubby wubby some props.  He did do good this year 🙂  He was going to get me some jewelry with Connor’s birthstone in it….but honestly I’d rather save the money and buy things we need for the house right now.  His birthstone is aquamarine, and I know someday I’ll get something with aquamarine in it! However, I did want a particular candle from Williams Sonoma & some Godiva chocolate!

This fleur de sel smells A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
So fresh and clean!
Connor and I at the mall with Godiva in tow….
We also played at the play area in the mall.  Connor loved it, but it was crowded!
Also-BOTH Saturday & Sunday Terence went and got Momma a Starbucks 🙂
Thanks babe!  I love you & I couldn’t do this parenting gig without ya!
I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day as well!
Whether you are a Mom or not remember you are a mother role model for someone out there!
And I am praying daily for all of you out there longing to for motherhood….it’s the best, most challenging, and life changing experience I’ve had thus far….and I wouldn’t change it for anything!  I believe if God puts the desire in your heart then he will fulfil that desire someday, somehow, I believe it!
Love yuns!

In 2001 Terence and I were blessed to go on a cruise to Alaska.  Terence’s Granddaddy took all of us for a one week cruise.  We had the best time and I’ll never forget that trip.  The mountains and the scenery were all gorgeous…here are a few pics from that vacation.
Should I dye my hair back blonde?
