First Football Game

How was everyone’s weekend?
It’s MONDAY again….it feels like these weekends fly by!
We had a good restful weekend with lots of rain and some nasty weather!

Apparently there was a tornado that touched down in our neighborhood!!! I had no idea until I read the news today and there was an article in there about OUR neighborhood. (Thanks Adam!)
”Residents spent Saturday staring at the damage left behind after an intense bout of storms that hit North Texas.
Resident Mike Roy was missing a large trampoline; he later found it propped up against a neighbor’s fence two blocks away. He was also missing a playhouse and a children’s swimming pool that was full of sand.
Damage was visible elsewhere in the neighborhood. Windows were smashed, and wooden fences appeared to be pried apart like straw. Large pieces of wood protruding from the ground served as subtle reminders of how dangerous the storm could have been.
“So much damage in such a short amount of time, it’s unbelievable,”
We didn’t have any damage to our house thank God!

We also took Connor to his first TCU football game on Saturday night. We lasted until the beginning of the 3rd quarter then we had to go because the little guy was getting restless and we were out of bottles. We went with cousin Katy & her fiancé Michael, & Aunt Trisha. I thought it was a lot of fun, but next time we’ll probably do it without the baby. It was really cold out Saturday night so I’m glad we brought jackets. Of course the next day it was mid 80’s again! Boo! I am ready for this fall weather to STICK around for a bit and I hope it’s cool this weekend for Halloween.
Here are some pics of the game and our weekend :

“Go Frogs!”

Daddy and Connor watching the game
It’s hard to get us all looking at the camera these days!
My hair Afro puffed outside because of the weather it was awful!

I think Connor may have some of his Mommy’s curls
This is right after his bath..ha..ha..

Welcome to my crib

“Welcome to my crib everyone!”
Sit back relax…have a cup of coffee……
(Join in the fun over @ Kelly’s Korner Blog)
My room has an OWL theme

This is where I rest my head…And this is where I poopy…..

This is my Mommy’s childhood prayer

And here is my bed for when I get to be a BIG boy 🙂
Hope you enjoyed my room and go and post yours now!

We have the Ickies

I’ve been out of commission on the computer this week because we have all been a bunch of sickies in our house. Connor sounds like Darth Vader according to his Aunt Rebecca! LOL! He is so conjested and I don’t know what to do to help him at this age because most medications are for 2 years and older. Poor little guy 🙁

Halloween is right around the corner….are ya’ll going to dress up? I want to, but I have NO idea what I would be! I have been baking a lot lately and I’ll post the recipe to the cream cheese banana bread below. I was looking at Halloween cakes today and look at these creepy cakes…….
eeeek!
This one is really cute!

Yikes!

BANANA BREAD RECIPE

Simply Bags

Simply Bags sent me this lovely red velvet bag with my name on it! They have the cutest embroidered tote bags! I am going to use this one around Christmas time because it’s the perfect color and it’s velvet. They have lots of other selections including diaper bags, tote bags and insulated lunch bags. Go check out their site HERE

That’s my name!
So cute 🙂

Fall Food & Fun Weekend

We had another pretty laid back weekend. Terence & I worked the 2 year old nursery room at church. We had a little preview of what is to come I guess! Those kiddos were running circles around us and somehow I got diaper duty 😛 Thank goodness there were only four of them! I’m so excited that Halloween is only a couple weeks away. I love to pass out the candy to all the kids and visit with the neighbors. After church we went grocery shopping at Whole Foods…..

I love all the pumpkins that were outside
I made some banana bread this weekend
It was cream cheese banana bread and the cream cheese made if very moist!

Every week we make fruit baggies to take to work for breakfast. It usually consists of strawberries, cantaloupe, and grapes. It takes awhile to cut up all the fruit, but so much cheaper to do it yourself than buy the pre-made stuff!

Another fall goody!
Reese’s DARK chocolate peanut butter cups 🙂
Speaking of peanut butter….
I love getting the fresh ground peanut butter at the store and dipping apples in it…it’s so good!

Terence and I are enjoying our new Nespresso machine
We bought vanilla syrup from Starbucks for $6.95 and make our drinks at home.
It’s a LOT cheaper this way too 🙂
My friend Beth Ann sent me this owl necklace
I LOVE IT!
Thank you so much it made my day 🙂
(excuse the carrot stain on my shirt!)
Connor loves sitting in high chairs at restaurants
and he loves chewing on napkins ha..ha..

He also LOVES riding in the shopping cart
Such a BIG BOY!
We also went to see our precious Granddaddy in the hospital this weekend
We love you so much Granddaddy and are praying for you every day!!!
Hope you all are having a good week too 🙂
