Friday Fun

I got Connor a trick or treat bag
Exciting stuff….I know….
Look who is trying his hardest to crawl
We’ve had lots of face plants lately!
“I can do it Momma!”


Nikon came out with their NEWEST beauty and I am drooling over it.
Introducing the Nikon D7000

For some reason he looks really startled in this picture???

Here is one of the only dishes I can cook decently
Lasagna….it was delish!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend friends!

Fall Decorating Love

I love this time of year! I get so excited when I see all the fall and Halloween items start to line the shelves in stores. It means Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner and I live for the cool crisp air, scarves, and decorating! We don’t celebrate the meaning of Halloween, but I have ordered a costume for Connor to wear (more for photos and memories) than anything else. You all know how I love to play dress up & sometimes I wonder if Connor even KNOWS how lucky he is that we had a boy or I would go a little over board! I’m in the mood to make some pumpkin bread & sit with a cup of coffee and go through festive holiday magazines….anyone with me??? I absolutely LOVE the cake stands above

The banner and salt & pepper shakers are so cute

I wish I could properly make a pom pom out of tissue paper, every time I try it looks like a blob of crumbled paper 🙁

HAPPY DECORATING FRIENDS!

I Don’t want to Forget

Well-as you probably know from my lack of blogging lately we’ve been quite busy! Two weekends in a row we had friends from out of town staying with us, so it was nice to have last weekend to recover from being so busy. I’ve forgotten to include some stuff on the blog and some pictures from the past couple of weeks. So before I forget all we’ve been up to here it goes!

I styled little C-man’s hair and I think he liked it 🙂
I only put product in his hair every now and then because I don’t want to over-do it!

Connor loves to sit with us while we are on the computer and we Skype a lot with my parents and sister. He spends most of his time trying to grab the screen or slam his hands on the keyboard.

We had Adam & Christa over on Saturday and we went to the Olive Garden for lunch. Christa is getting lessons on feeding bottles and changing diapers! LOL! I had the never ending pasta bowl at the Olive Garden. I don’t know why they call it “never ending” because I can’t even finish ONE bowl! Adam & Christa love Connor so much, it cracks me up because they are just so anxious to hold him and give him snuggles 🙂 They are so sweet!

My lovely hubby…can you tell he loves to have his picture taken?

So does Adam 😛
He kept waving his arms around so I couldn’t take photos of him because he didn’t want to end of on this BLOG!!! News Flash : I STILL PUT IT UP!!! HA..HA..
Connor loves his BFF cousin Arielle
They will both be crawling before you know it!

On the weekends we have to support our TCU Froggies 🙂

Here is a pic of the three of us on the train I forgot to include
I want to remember Connor’s first train ride!

Granna strolling us around the neighborhood
We love our Granna so much!

Sometimes in the mornings Connor also helps Mama get ready
He got into my eyeshadow and started eating it! Oops!
He’s also been sitting up like a big boy in shopping carts now!!!
Here we are at Target…where I could cruise for hours!
We are so blessed! Connor is such a GOOD baby and I can’t wait to get home to him every day!
Just some things I wanted to remember….life is passing by so quickly these days….
Hope you all are having a good week!
XOXO – Becky

What’s in Your Kitchen?

I’ve seen lots of bloggers doing this lately and it’s kind of funny. It’s like MTV cribs…show us what is in your fridge. So here’s the Branch household edition of our crib yo!

Always on hand is dark chocolate
Our pitiful fridge…we need to go to the store
Our pantry is a MESS!

Top shelf : cupcake carrier, hand mixer, wine opener

2nd shelf: jam, spaghetti sauce, french press, oil, pudding, & syrup

3rd shelf: cookbooks, my beloved Kitchenaid mixer, baking supplies (sugar, flower)

4th shelf: Carnation Instant Breakfast, noodles, hot chocolate, sauces, crackers, & salsa

5th shelf: Cereal & chips, chocolate cake ball supplies, noodles

Floor: grocery bags & paper towels


I’m kind of embarrassed to show this one because our fridge is empty…we obviously DO eat because we have bellies 😛

Coffee creamer, milk, dark chocolate syrup

Some lonely lettuce whithering away in the crisper

Ya know the necessities 🙂

Frozen milk
ice packs
Kashi meals
frozen veggies
frozen chicken
Breyer’s dark chocolate ice cream
(there is a theme here, I love dark chocolate!)

I think we are missing something????

There is NO Cristal Champagne in our fridge!!!! What???
Ha…ha…
So tell me: “What is in your fridge???”

You are growing so fast Connor boy!
Oh how I love you so!

Poor baby had a 103.3 degree fever last night after getting his shots. He threw up pretty bad last night too 🙁 Daddy is at home with him right now taking good care of him. I have the BEST Daddy ever!

We love you buddy!
Hope you all have a great weekend!

What a Day!

It has been QUITE a day in the Branch fam! Terence took Connor to his 6 month doctor appointment this morning and everything went well, but Terence called me at work and said they wanted to do some x-rays on his head. They were concerned about how his skull was growing together, so the Doctor just wanted to double check. It scared me to death so I left work and met Terence up at Cook Children’s. Connor did NOT like laying on that cold table, especially after just having five shots! I was so glad I was there to comfort him though. He’s been really snugly and clingy lately 🙂 The hospital called before I even got back to work and said everything looked NORMAL!!! Praise the Lord! It’s just been a crazy day and poor thing is running a 101.7 degree fever tonight. So glad tomorrow is Friday!

Bottle always makes it better!
Waiting at the Doctor’s office

I love my Daddy!

Poor little guy had been crying non-stop!
You may have also heard about all the nasty weather DFW has been getting. We had some severe thunder storms and even some tornadoes yesterday! This is the scene on my way home yesterday…….
The whole street was flooded

Stuff from across the street

Did someone put a lake in the neighborhood while I was gone???

re-routing us all home 🙂

It was all cleaned up by this morning and I was able to get home in the normal fashion today!
I guess when it rains it pours sometimes…..literally…..
