Labor Day 2010

This past weekend our good friends Kristin & Nate came to visit us from Arkansas. They brought all three of their kids-Brayden (8), Abby (4), and Lane (2). It so much fun to catch up with them since we haven’t seen them in a long time! We appreciate them driving here to see us!
Saturday we woke up and ate breakfast at IHOP. Kristin and I had our favorite chocolate chip pancakes. Afterwards we headed to the mall and shopped a bit. That afternoon we drove to Fort Worth and rode the train outside the Zoo. It was a lot of fun and all the kids really liked it!

It was great weather this weekend 🙂

Brayden – he’s turning 8 next month!
I remember when this boy was born….I feel old!

Go Frogs!!!
One place we had to go to is The Cheesecake Factory. We all gorged on food, including chocolate cake and Godiva cheesecake! Kristin and I LOVE our chocolate! We shopped around some more and let me just say that shopping for “jeggings” with someone who is a size zero is depressing! ha..ha..ha.. She looks great for having three kiddos though! I am not genetically inclined to EVER be a size zero or ever wear JEGGINGS!!!!

We also watched a movie called “Super Size Me” and it has totally ruined McDonald’s for me! I don’t think I will be going back there for awhile, even if they have re-done their menu since then! ewe! Don’t watch unless you want to be turned off of fast food!
I hope you all had a fabulous Labor Day and HELLO FALL!!!!!

6 Months

Connor boy you were 6 months this past Saturday! I can’t believe we have already had you in our lives for 1/2 a year! You are growing so fast and won’t sit still anymore. We find you every morning in your crib upside down and with no covers on. You are definitely a wiggle worm!

What you are doing right now :
  • You are still a big drooler
  • You love to suck on your toes
  • You still prefer breast milk
  • You love your fish tank on the side of your crib
  • You also love your jungle activity jumper
  • Size 3 diaper
  • You love tummy time and rolling on the floor
  • Bath time is your favorite 🙂
  • You love to be held and you are very alert! You hardly take naps, but are sleeping through the night really well!
Your 6 month doctor visit is on Thursday so we’ll have your stats then

We tried baby food for the first time this weekend. We started with sweet potatoes and you made some pretty nasty faces! ha..ha.. You gagged a little bit and spit it up. We tried apples tonight and you seemed to like that better 🙂 I think it will take some getting used to, but we will get the hang of it!

You are my silly boy! You make the cutest faces…you are such a blessing to your
Daddy & I and we couldn’t imagine life without you my little angel boy! We love you!!!

Fabulous Friday Updates

I promised Bon Bon that I would take a picture in the shirt she got me from
H&M


We don’t have those here and I love it! I think she said it was $12.95 or something???
I love cute cheap clothing 🙂
Of course Mr. Connor wanted to be in the photo with Momma…never mind the spit bubbles!

Here is an update of our photo wall. We ordered our pictures all in black and white from MPIX.com I love that site and they have the best photo/paper quality for your pictures. They ship within a day or two and also have cool paper options for your photos.
We are having some of our good friends from AR over this weekend. I am so excited! I know it will be a busy fun filled three day weekend and I am sooooo looking forward to it! I hope you all have a great weekend too! XoXo – Becky

Fall Classics Wishlist

I’m so ready for fall right now. I love wearing a nice soft cozy sweater and a great pair of jeans with boots. I am definitely a cooler weather gal! Below are some of my fall wishlist items. What’s on your wish list for fall???

Baby Photo Shoot

Below are some pictures I took of a co-worker’s granddaughter. Baby Katie was so tiny…I bet she was less than 7 pounds! It’s incredibly hard to pose a newborn. I am not a professional by any means, but I did have fun playing around and shooting some pictures. It was just something they let me do for fun and I had a blast! 🙂

I’m currently getting blog fever again to re-design my layout. I wanted to do something “fall” themed so bare with me while I make some changes to my layout! Hope you all are having a great Wednesday!

Random Stuff

My sister sent me a care package in the mail yesterday with a cute shirt (picture soon I promise Bonnie), a CD, and this…..

“Vampire Blood” hand sanitizer from Bath & Body
Ha..ha..can you believe that?
My sweet Mommy also sent me a care package with lots of clothes for Connor and this ADORABLE photo album with owls on it. I love it and I put some pictures in it last night. I told Terence “I have to get some more pictures to stick in here!” His response was “I think you may want to save some room for future photos dear” Ha..ha…I guess that is true! I love getting mail & I have the best family ever!

We saw this adorable house in Dallas a few weeks ago and I thought it was so cute! I just wanted to post it for memory because I LOVE it!

I also have a new review on my REVIEW BLOG if you all want to check it out 🙂
Thank you for all the Christmas stocking suggestions yesterday I will have a good head start and I’ve already starting looking at some of your suggestions! It’s been an incredibly busy couple of weeks….life would you please slow down….just a bit! XOXO Becky
