December Happenings

Every year Terence’s Aunties put on a charity event called “Celebrity Cutting“. It is a lot of fun to attend and you get to see lots of neat people riding some horses! I never knew what cutting a horse was until we started going to this, to me it’s like playing chicken between a horse and a cow….see which one gives up first! You have to make sure the cow doesn’t join the rest of the heard and your job is to steer it away from the rest of the cattle with your horse.

Here is Aunt Beverly & Aunt Lyn in all their cowgirl glory
This is Liz and Paul (T’s brother) with Kristy Lee Cook
She was on American Idol a few seasons back and now she’s a country singer
Terence’s lovely parents 🙂

Okay onto other miscellaneous and non-important stuff….
We made our first fire in the house Thursday night! I love the smell of fireplaces…mmmmm
Does that make me weird? It snowed one morning last week and it was so pretty! I need to be spanked because I didn’t get a picture and it is very RARE it Texas for snow. I made some BLT’s for dinner and we just sat down in front of the fire and watched TV-good times!
Gulp! Baby Connor likey bacon!

And YES-I am going to hang that clock somewhere in the house, I just don’t know where…so for right now it rests on the mantle until I find a picture I like or something. Also want to find some floral something or other for those blue vases….it’s a work in progress!

Okay now I’m going to get Ter-bear out of the bed so we can do some Christmas shopping! We celebrate Christmas next weekend with his family and we haven’t got a darn thing yet!
Happy Weekend Everyone!

Zeeee Starbucks Winner Is….

Before I announce the winner you know I had to show you pictures right?
We took our sweet lil‘ cousin Lindsey to Starbucks again…I mean we just have to show her the way 🙂
Last time we took Lindsey to Starbucks we ordered her a vanilla bean drink (which has no coffee in it) and she didn’t like that….so this time she wanted COFFEE! Lindsey Sue ordered a mocha frappucinno and she liked it…oh boy! It must run in the blood….ha..ha…

Okay now onto the results

I had Terence draw the winner out of a big ole bowl

because I knew he would pick a good un!


And the winner is……
Congrats!

Getcha some!

Terence’s Aunt started a company called Dromeo several years ago. It is an analgesic lotion that helps with things like arthritis, stiff joints, muscle and back pain.
I have used it so many times for back pain, especially since being pregnant and having trouble with my sciatic nerve. It is almost like a heating pad, but it lasts longer and sooths your muscles for hours. I LOVE IT and so does everyone I let try it!
If you have any sort of muscle pain you won’t regret trying this and you’ll wonder how you went without it! This week only they are having 50% OFF Dromeo analgesic lotion. That is an amazing deal and I encourage you to try it because you won’t be sorry!

Becky & Bonnie’s Super Fabulous Baby Shower!

We had the BEST baby shower ever! My Mom worked so hard and so did our family and friends. Baby Connor and baby Jarrett got so many goodies and these boys are already so spoiled! Here is a little picture preview of how the day went….

Look at all that LOOT! I’ve gotta get it all sorted now and
put away…still have to order baby furniture though

Here is the stroller/carseat system we got and the pack and play
THANKS MOM & DAD!

The night before the shower…everyone blow up a balloon!

Go for it Grandpa!

Nannie was the official balloon holder

The cake was chocolate (of course) with chocolate ganache frosting
WE DON’T SKIMP ON THE CHOCOLATE!

Me and Bon with one of our best friends Kristin

Looks like a mirror image-we got a lot of the same outfits for the boys, but that is okay…we don’t live in the same states or anything and we sort of like to dress alike!

They got they cutest little froggy towels with their names on them

The diaper bags-Thanks Mom!

Kristin got us each a Little Giraffe blanket-SO SOFT!

Baby Bibles with their names on it

Bonnie’s cute nephew!

Me and Bon with Rachie!

Friends from highschool 🙂

Uhm…Dad???

The Fam

My Dad did this billboard at church-so sweet!
Dad also made a CD of a song he sang with his friend playing (Dad likes bluegrass)
for the babies to listen to…it is the sweetest song! I

I guess that is all for tonight folks!
Thank you for all your prayers-I’ve looked forward to this day for so long and dreamed about
having a baby for what seems like forever, and it’s finally here! I just feel overwhelmed with love and blessings and I am so THANKFUL this holiday season!
MUCH LOVE, BECKY

Thanksgiving 2009

I just got back from Arkansas yesterday and had a GREAT time! It was so good to see all my family and friends. Next time I see Bonnie she will have a baby and so will I! That is crazy to think about. God has truly blessed us in so many ways and I’m so thankful we get to share this experience together. It was funny walking around town because people would look at us weird…double take….you are twins AND pregnant too??? That is crazy! ha…ha…

I have about a bazzillion pictures from the baby shower to upload. I will probably do that tomorrow or tonight. Here are some pictures we got from Thanksgiving at Nannie and Papa’s farm. It’s always so pretty up there.

We decorated Papa’s grave for Christmas

The view from the cemetary

Picture of Nannie and Papa on the farm 🙂

On the back it has all our names…we miss our Papa so much! He would

have LOVED fishing with these boys!
