Glasses USA

I’ve had to wear glasses or contacts since I was about 12 years old. I was not blessed with excellent vision unfortunately, but as I’ve grown older I actually ENJOY wearing glasses. There are so many trendy styles to choose from and they’ve become a great accessory to my wardrobe.

I recently received a fabulous pair of eyeglasses from GLASSES USA. They are a great source for perscription eyeglasses at extremely low prices. I just emailed them my current prescription and “viola” in a few days I had my new glasses in the mail!

They have a great selection of glasses online. I chose the “Adam Gray” style and I think they look great! I’ve already had lots of compliments on them!

If you are looking for some new glasses or just a little something to spruce up your wardrobe head over to Glasses USA and use this code ( BLOG10) for 10% off your final order! The code never expires either. Thank you Glasses USA!!! I love my glasses 🙂

Father’s Day 2010

We had a great Father’s Day this year. Connor let us sleep in until 8:00 am on Saturday 🙂 He’s been such a good boy lately and hardly fussing at all! *knock on wood* Terence is such a good Daddy and we are so lucky to have him!

We didn’t really do anything on Saturday except for run around and get some grocery shopping done. Sunday we went to church and then headed to Costco to get 4 new tires for T’s car. I hate car maintenance….it’s SO expensive! We had a nice dinner Sunday night with Terence’s family and then headed home to start the week again! It’s seems like the time is just flying by!

Connor has been very VOCAL lately squealing and making all sorts of noises. It just cracks me up. He does it even in his sleep!

I’ve been watching some summer shows too, including the Next Food Network Star (that Dzintra girl is koo koo!) and HGTV Design Star. I put “The Gates” on my DVR, but haven’t watched it yet! I REALLY want to go see Eclipse this weekend…if only I could find a babysitter for Connor 😛

I JUST WANT TO SAY I AM SOOOO BEHIND ON READING EVERYONE’S BLOGS LATELY AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE I DON’T LOVE YOU ANYMORE….DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL SCATTER BRAINED AFTER THEY HAVE A BABY?????? LIKE I SAID BEFORE I NEED TO WORK ON MY TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLZ SO I CAN FIT ALL THIS IN…BECAUSE I MISS IT AND I AM STILL VISITING YOUR LIVES EVEN THOUGH I MAY NOT COMMENT AS MUCH 🙁 XOXO BECKY)

It’s Friday I am in LOVE!

I am participating in Summer’s “It’s Friday I am in Love” post-a-thon!

YOU ALL KNOW MY LOVE FOR COFFEE!!!!
I am also loving anything with a little *bling bling* to it. I got this whale iron on for $1 and put it on one of Connor’s onesies. Terence said it’s too girlie???? What do you think?
(Later in the week I will show you another *bling* project I am working on!)
I love waking up to this little face every morning. He’s starting to recognize me now and when I go get him up he just SMILES and he’s ready to go live and learn for the day!
We don’t have anything particularly exciting scheduled for the weekend. What are ya’ll doing? And what are you in LOVE with right now?

XOXO – Becky

Testimony of a New Mom

Time…..time is flying by so fast.

Oh how my world has changed these past few months!
Connor, your Daddy and I love you with all our hearts. I’ve waited for you so long my son. I’ve dreamed about you so many nights. I look into your eyes each day and feel overwhelmed with love and emotion. It’s going to be hard to see you grow up and make mistakes or get your first boo boo. I know these moments are just part of growing up. It seems like lately you’ve been growing up so quickly right before our eyes……

You make me want to be a better person. I’ve thought a lot lately about what kind of parent I want to be…..I know sometimes I will have to be strict on you or discipline you for something you’ve done wrong. Right now I just want to hold you and comfort you. I want to put you in a bubble so nothing can ever hurt you or sway you in the wrong direction. I want to be a Godly example in your life. I’ve felt convicted lately that I am not the Godly person I should be or want to be. I will work on that…I’ll be better for me and for you…and for Daddy too……
Your Daddy is my best friend, he holds my heart…and now so do you! He supported me throughout my pregnancy when I was uncomfortable and sick. He helped me put my socks on when I could no longer reach my feet. Your Daddy makes me laugh and smile each day. He encouraged me when I thought I couldn’t breast feed you and wanted to give up! He pushes me to be a better person in life and a better Mommy for you. We both want to be Godly examples for you my son. Without God we would not have you in our lives and in our hearts. You are our precious gift 🙂

I am not perfect by any means and can only strive each day to be a better person. It’s because of God, our loving family, and friends that we have the life we have today. We are so blessed and this short time on earth is only temporary. My love for you will never be temporary….I know there will be times I am exhausted and don’t know what to do with you….but my love will be eternal for you my son.

Your goofy faces make me smile all the time…..

I wonder what you are thinking at times???
You are taking in this new world each day and it’s so amazing to see you learn and grow. You stare at everything like it’s brand new and wonderful and exciting. The little tiny things in life that seem so minuscule to everyone else excite you most of all!
The sleepless nights have been challenging and so have the long days. You are worth every second of that time! Mommy doesn’t have time to do everything she once did….I often wonder if all this blogging, twittering, facebooking is all that important anymore. I love to keep this blog, not for myself, but for you my son…..so that someday you can look back and remember all these things about your crazy Momma!

You are my angel boy…..my gift from above
“I love my Connor boy
You feel my heart with joy
You’re my gift from God above
You fill my heart with so much love”
I repeat that to you every morning…….
You light up my life….my sweet Connor boy 🙂

It’s Hot!!! Hot!!! Hot!!!

It’s been over 100 degrees here in Texas for the past week! I am sooooo not a summer person! I prefer colder weather and hot cocoa over this any day. I guess it’s just because I don’t like to sweat or shave my legs…ha..ha…and I am white and unfortunately don’t tan 🙁

Momma puhhhleeezzzeeee don’t take me outside!
This boy is like a furnace…I sit and hold him and he warms you up like a heating pad
Terence & I were invited to go to Beastro at the Fort Worth Zoo on Friday night. Our friends Adam & Christa invited us to go. It was nice to have a night out with friends. There was endless food from local restaurants and you walk around and just EAT & EAT!!!! I was stuffed! I had to get this picture with a penguin for my Mom because she LOVES penguins 🙂

And it’s a real live OWL!!!!

Today Terence and I have just been relaxing and I’ve been doing laundry and cleaning. We went to Barnes & Noble this afternoon to look at vacation books for our 10th wedding anniversary trip. It’s not until next year, but we wanted to start planning something in advance. Right now it’s a toss up between Ireland and anywhere else….we aren’t quite sure??? Where would you go or where have you been that you liked? My sister and I used to LOVE these Little Mr. & Miss books! I read Connor “Mr. Tickle”

Me and little Mister

He LOVES to roll around on the floor

I took some photos this morning…I just want to capture every moment because it goes by so quickly!

Drooooool!!!

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend and don’t get too HOT!!! LOL!

Summer Days

This week Terence and I met up with Adam and Christa to support our friend Travis who is running a marathon to benefit crohn’s disease. He had a great turn out that night and I hope he raised some good moolah to support his cause! He’s very passionate about this because it has effected him personally and I know he’s an inspiration to others who are suffering with crohn’s disease. You go Travis! You can visit his website HERE

Connor is just getting cuter by the day! He LOVES his Daddy and when we get home in the afternoon his face just lights up when he sees him. Here is a little video of them playing 🙂

We have a busy weekend ahead and hopefully I’ll have some good pictures to share!
