Bad Blogger

I have not had time to blog.  I have been busier than I have been in years.  We are still unloading boxes, we have all been sick and I started back to work.  And of course we celebrated Christmas and are about to celebrate a HUGE Birthday. Hopefully things are starting to slow down!!!!!!!!

We celebrated Henry's birthday with both sides of our families as well as Christmas.  We are very blessed.  None of us needed anything but we were spoilt! I have pictures from both birthday celebrations but nor from Christmas(I will post them later).

Tomorrow is Henry's birthday!!!!!  I cannot believe our little baby is about to be one.  What a blessing he has been.  What did we do before him?  What did we spend our days talking about?  We love that little boy and can't wait to continue to watch him grow and change.  He has really gotten a personality and attitude these last few weeks.  He absolutely loves his daycare which makes my life much better.  Because I hate taking him.  Sonner than later I will be back to my working like I did before and he won't be at daycare as long as he is now with me training.  We don't have any big plans for his actual birthday as we have already celebrated twice but we do have some small special things planned. 

We also have visitors coming for NYE.  The O'Rears are coming to visit and we are so excited.  I can't wait to meet Mr. Grady!!!!!!  I know we will all have a blast.  There is lot's of relaxing on schedule for our get together.  Hurry Up and get here G!!!!!!

Exciting Times




We are TEXANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Again.

It was super hard work to get here but we made it.  Andrew and I loaded the trailer one day with the weather in the 60's and the next day with snowflakes falling.  We survived.  Henry and I had a very rough ride to Lubbock.  He was not liking the airplane this time.  Andrew made it safely and then we all ventured to our new home in Midland.  

We moved in 8 days ago and LOVE it.  We have had  a few bumps but nothing too major.  As the days go on it is starting to feel more homey.  We have a  brand new washer and dryer and refrigerator as well as carpet.  Nothing to complain about there.  Henry finally got his crib back and has been sleeping like a champ.  He loves his room and exploring the new house.  

Andrew started work yesterday and had a wonderful day.  

This weekend we are going to take a break and go to the farm for Andrew to hunt and me to relax.  It will be a quick trip.  Then the next weekend our Christmas/Birthday celebrations will begin.  I can't believe our little guy is so close to being 1!!!!!!!!!!

Pictures will come soon!!!!!!

Single Digits

Nope not talking about the temperatures here in Mn but talking about the amount of days we have left before we are Texans again.  Earlier this week I mentioned to Andrew that it seemed like this has been planned for a while.  He informed me that it has been going on for 2 months but really longer than that if we consider when we started discussing the possibility.  Needless to say we are sick  of living amongst boxes.  I am so over it!!!! It's not fun and it's not fair for our little guy.           And.........
then there is our house disaster.  I don't even know where to begin and am  just going to say that it sucks but truly we have way more to be thankful for than to complain about.  Hopefully we will have some definite answers in the next few days.  
Back to being Thankful.  I am so Thankful that I have my two boys, I love them so much.  They both make me smile, cry and happier than I ever have been.  They mean the world to me.  I am so Thankful that Andrew and I are both employed. Thankful for my  parents and brother and his family.  Can't imagine what I would do without my family.  So Thankful for our friends.  Love that I can chat with some of my girlfriends thru text messaging. Love technology!

Please say a prayer for those impacted by the train crash in our soon to be town.  It breaks my heart to think of what these families have and are going through.  This morning as it was on the National news I was telling Henry that we would soon be living in that town and I started to tear up.  I remember this event from when we lived in Midland, such a special time for those involved.  Wish I was there to help.  Many of my friends have made their way to donate blood.

Boring Post

I am officially unemployed.  I have mixed emotions about this.  I know my time left in Mn will go by quickly with all of the little stuff we have to tie up but I will miss going to work everyday.  Although I know I will LOVE all of my extra time with Henry.  And I am extra glad that his days at his daycare are over.  I hated dropping him off although it didn't seem to phase him as he never cried when I dropped him off.  Andrew and I think that he didn't mind going there because she never watched him and he was free to roam and do what he pleased. Glad those days are over!!!!!!  Over the next 8 days we have some errands and little chores that we must complete before Andrew's last day of work. 

We are not going to be able to close on the original planned date but it will still work out.  We are getting frustrated with our underwriter but know it will be worth it in the long run. Thankfully we have a few days to play with.  Soon we will be home owners!!!!!!!

Less than 2 weeks and my mom will be coming to visit one last time.  Henry and I can't wait.  We are going to shop, lounge and of course eat. 

We got our pictures from our photographer and they are precious.  Thankful that I was able to get them done while still living here.

10 Months

Henry Joseph-----

You are 10 months old.  You are so busy and so much fun.  You have 3 teeth(one on top and 2 on bottom). You love to eat and really aren't that picky.  You are taking 3 bottles a day and 3 naps a day while you are home with me(daycare is another story).  You are sleeping thru the night. You love to sit at the front door and wait for daddy to come home from work.  You are still obsessed with your Lovey at bedtime.  Your favorite thing to do right now is stand up.  You don't really have to do anything while standing up you just like to look around.  You are trying to say more and more words, it's so cute to watch your little mind work.  You are such a blessing to us and we have loved watching you change over the past few months.  We have some super exciting times coming up and we can't wait to share them with you. 

Dad and I Love you so much!!!!!!




 You can't believe it either!!!!
 

On the move......
 

Standing up!!!!
 

You are for sure changing into a little boy.  People have been commenting about how much hair you have, and comparing to your previous pictures you sure have gotten more than  we started with!!!!





1 year ago

One year ago today we were completely slapped in the face.  I went for my regularly scheduled OB appointment and for my glucose screening.  The appointment started off fine.  I drank the nasty drink and waited.  Then the fun began.  They took my BP and it was high. So my Dr checked me out and then monitored our baby for a while and continued to check my BP.  Needless to say my BP wasn't going down. So...........  they sent me to the nearest hospital to be monitored closer for a few hours.  I called Andrew crying and couldn't call my mom because I was crying too hard.  Andrew and I met at the hospital and I got monitored for a few hours and we were sent on our way.  At my follow up appointment bed rest was mentioned but I just thought my Dr was crazy.  Fast forward to the next week, Andrew is going to Tx to go hunting one last time before baby and my parents were coming to town to take care of me and prepare the baby's room.  I have another appointment while my parents are here and the dreaded bed rest becomes reality.  Nothing has improved, BP is still high!!!!!!!!  I am monitored again and told that this will become a weekly thing and may deliver as early as 34 weeks, be put in the hospital for steroid shots and will not be able to deliver at our planned hospital due to me now being high risk.  Wow, so much to take in!!!!!!  Thankfully my parents are here during this time but of course Andrew is gone!!!!!  So I have another follow up appointment on that following Tuesday that my mom refuses to miss.  So Andrew is now back and mom and I go to the Dr and I was immediately sent to the hospital for the shots.  Another rush of emotions!!!!!!!  It really wasn't so bad but soooooooo Thankful that my mom was here.  It was a quick 48 hours and then I was sent home on very strict bed rest.  Fun Times!!!!!  So back to the weekly appointments of tests and BP checks.  When this all began I told my Dr that I would NOT deliver before 37 weeks.  She looked at me like I was crazy but I knew my baby was not going to spend any time in the NICU.  We did have a few little scares and hospital stay but we made it.  Wow crazy to think how much we have to be Thankful for.  It was horrible at the time but more than worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

October 2012

It seems like this has been a long month.  It is finally coming to an end.  We have had a lot to do and accomplished a lot.  
We started the Halloween festivities before Henry and I headed to Tx by going to a Fall festival at a local greenhouse.  It was a chilly morning so you can't see that Henry is sporting costume #1 under his jacket.  He was a sailor.




Then we made our way to Tx and attended an amazing party for Henry's adorable cousins.  My mom and SIL seriously outdid themselves.  A party to remember.  It was the kids 3rd and final year to have a Halloween Carnival for their birthday celebration.  I think 2 boys might be getting too big for this celebration!!!!

















Today is Halloween and of course it is cold so Henry is wearing a Halloween tshirt.  And his daycare sucks so who knows if he was allowed to wear a costume.  But regardless we had fun dressing up this morning and will continue to celebrate this evening.  We are going to have pizza and Hen and daddy are going to watch The Great Pumpkin.  Daddy is super excited about this and has been looking forward to if for a year now.  






Henry's hair continues to be out of control. Last night it was combed so nicely and this morning he wakes up looking like this.  I have combed it but he is napping now so well see what it looks like when he wakes.  WTH???????  Drives his dad crazy!!!!!

Looking forward to November.  BIG things happening.  We will become Texans, we get to move into our new house and see friends and family.  Looking forward to new beginnings!!!!!!!

Done, Done and Done

Found a house- Check
Find daycare for baby- Check
Buy all new furniture plus accessories- Check

So Hen's and I's little vacation to Texas is over!!!!!!!!!!  We had an amazing but busy time.  We loved the party, he just sat in his stroller and watched all of the big kids have a ball.  My mom and sister in law can plan some parties.  It was super hot but the kids barely noticed.

Sunday my parents and I went to Midland to start the house hunt.  Man was it funny!!!!  Our realtor(which I love) is more redneck than my husband!!!!!!  One of the houses had more cats living in it than I do family members.  One was was just crazy.  And then we had  two top contenders.  So the first house I saw I thought was the perfect house.   We saw it first and then looked at junk, then went back to the first one and double checked everything and then decided we would look at just one more.  I am so thankful we did.  Ends up that we saved the best for last.  I am in LOVE with our first home.  It is so us!!!!!!!!!!!  It has an updated kitchen which I love, 2 living areas and  an amazing master bath.  And then 4 bedrooms one for Andrew and I, one for Andrew's crazy military stuff, one for the baby and then one to spare.  We are getting new carpet in the bedrooms and have a little painting to do but over all its pretty move in ready which we needed.  I can't wait for Andrew to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 more weeks and we will officially be Texans.  Andrew got a  ton packed up this weekend so we don't have much left to do here.  It will be here before we know it and now that we have a house it seems much more real.

Thank you Mom and Dad for all of your help.  I couldn't have done it without ya'll.  You helped so much with Hen and helped me pick out the perfect house.  Thanks a ton.

I found Hen a temporary and then a permanent daycare.  He will start in January at one and then go to another in November.  I know November seems so far away but  it will go by quickly and it will be an important time in his life so we are excited about the permanent daycare.

I also found a new couch(needed a new one since we will have 2 living areas), lamps, recliner and lots of other goodies.  Now we just have to get there so mom and I can decorate!!!!!!!!  I cannot wait to be close to friends and family.  You all MUST come visit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday Thoughts

* Nothing really to post but I figured I better post while I can since the next few weeks are going to be crazy and I may not have time.

* One week and counting.  Oh my, oh my am I ready to get on that plane.  I need a break.  I need a break from packing, working, cooking and the endless search for our new home.

* I will be signing the papers for a new home without Andrew seeing it.  Yes, it stresses me out just thinking about it.  Thankfully he trusts my parents and I.  He say's he is fine with it because I found our last two places without him.  Yes, but that is a little different than buying.

* Last night was the best I have slept since we have decided to make the move.  We got the news we wanted yesterday on the move so I think that was what I needed.

* Henry's hair is officially out of control.  It doesn't matter what I do to it, it automatically goes into a mohawk.  We washed it on Tuesday and combed it all down and this morning it is a true mohawk.  I have cut it and its still the same.  I am afraid he may have his dad's hair.

* I cannot wait to see Calaway, Coleman and Crimson Dykes.  More importantly I cannot wait to watch them grow up.  I have missed too much but don't worry I will make up for it.  Them plus my little guy equals some amazingly fun times ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* I cannot wait to spend time with friends.  We have missed out on too many special times.  But again we are going to be there now and ready to make up for lost time. 

* I LOVE AJVB and am so happy that he has given our family this chance to move back and spend time with our family and friends.  I am so proud of him for his hard work and determination to get us back to Texas.  Love You!!!!!!

 
Love my Boys!

Fit as a Fiddle

A few months ago Andrew decided that since we had met our deductible with our insurance that he was going to go and have a physical.  Well the results came back and he was told he was "fit as a fiddle".  Makes me want to puke cause I can only imagine what they would say about this tire I am wearing around my waste.  Well as of today Mr. Fit as a Fiddle is sick.  And I am so over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He woke up extra whiny today and I made him go to the Dr.  Of course he couldn't go by himself so we all loaded up and headed to Target for him to go to the Minute Clinic.  He has a sinus infection and will hopefully be on the mend in a few days.  I cannot wait to get away for a few days.  Between a  sick husband and a half packed up house I am ready to scream!!!!!!!!

Love You AJVB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9 Months

 
 
 
Henry-
 
Sweet baby boy.  We cannnot believe that you are already 9 months old. 
 
You are getting quite the personality and have learned to let us know what you think of certain situations.
 
You are done with baby food and don't really like to be fed at all.  This is a hard adjustment for momma.
 
You are such a wonderful sleeper.  You still take 3 naps a day, which the Dr was surprised about.
 
You still just have 2 teeth but the Dr said you are tying real hard on your upper 4 so that should be soon.
 
You are dragging yourself wherever and everywhere you need to go.  You are busy!!!!!!!!!
 
We are trying to pack up the house for our big move to Tx and it has been a challenge with you around.  You were scared of the tape gun at first.  Then you are into everything.  And we would rather spend our time cuddling with you but we got to get going.
 
You are flying on an airplane twice in the next month.  Once just for a trip and house shopping and the next will be the last time you fly from Mn to Tx for a while.  Your dad and I do hope to bring you back to visit Mn sometime but it will be a few years when you can experience the amusement park in Mall of America. 
 
We LOVE you and cannot wait to introduce you to so many of our Texas favorites and to see you grow in our new home. We have an exciting next month with many more to follow with your first of many holidays. 
 
Love you sweet boy.
 
 
Oh how you have changed.  You are so hard to photograph now that you are busy.

Thursday Thoughts

* 2 weeks from today Henry and I will be in Tx. We will be eating delicous food, enjoying family and buying our new home. Crazy!!!!!

* Looking for houses has just been crazy. So much to do between searching for homes, packing and making time for Henry.

* Work has been driving me crazy. I think it's because I know my end here is near. I will probably go back to mental health in Midland but will have a break for a few months. Plenty of time for me to catch up with my parents and brothers family.

* I can't wait to hang out with all our friends again. So excited! Hopefully we already have NYE plans!!!!!

* Last night we talked about all the great things we will be leaving but decided there are way more positives for moving. We will miss the great food, shopping and outdoor activities. But will be glad to be closer to family and friends. And only a short drive from good shopping.

* I never thought I would survive living this far away from my family. But I did and I do think I did very well. But I can't wait to be able to see them whenever I want even if its just for a few hours. I can't wait for my son to know and understand who his cousins are and to make many memories with them!

* It is cold here today. Hopefully the snow will hold off until we're gone!

Thursday Thoughts

* So glad our secret has been revealed. We are still in shock that are dream is coming true.

* We have started packing and our house is a disaster but it will be worth it in the end.

* Henry is staying with a sitter tonight while Andrew and I go out to celebrate. And he gets to celebrate with one of his bff's Mark. I am kind of nervous about the sitter. Hopefully after I have adequately drinks I'll survive.

* Henry gets to have a birthday party now that we'll be in Tx. It won't be anything huge but more than he would have had if we were staying in MN.

* I will be in Tx when my BFF has her precious baby boy. Not sure she is as excited as I am about it!!!!!!

* There are so many people we haven't seen enough of the last few years that we hope to be able to spend lots of time with soon!!!!

It's Official......................................................

 
 
Our dreams have come true. 
 
We are moving to
 
 
 
To say we are thrilled would be an understatement.
 
We have wanted this to happen for the last few months and our patience has paid off.  Andrew has been offered a wonderful opportunity that we could not pass up. 
 
We will be moving back to Midland.  It will be our new home.  We will be there for many years.
 
We will be able to spend the holidays with our families!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Our time in Minnesota has been amazing.  We have grown as a couple and as a family.  We are both leaving Minnesota as different people.  I would not change this experience for the world and am so thankful that I had my wonderful husband to spend this time with.  I will be sad to leave our home as I love this place.  I am sad to leave the trees, water and beautiful landscape around here.  Minnesota is very family friendly and I will miss that.  I know that I am moving to somewhere that does not have as many shopping or recreational opporunities but at this time in our life family is more important.  Minnesota will always hold a very special place in my heart as this is where my baby was born.  But our time is done!!!!!
 
So see you all soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday Thoughts

* This has been one of the best weeks in my life.  Life is Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* Neither the Packers or Tech play this weekend so maybe my husband will be more helpful this weekend.

* It's Thursday again so that means one week closer to our trip to Tx!!!!!!!!!!  I can't wait to see family, friends and eat some mexican food.

* I went to a Just Between Friends sale last week and got Hen some amazing things at such good prices.  I started going to these sales when I was pregnant and have yet to be dissapointed.  I have no problem dressing my child in gently used clothes.  Let's get serious most of things were used by his adorable cousins anyways. 

* Henry will have 2 halloween costumes thanks to his aunt Heather.  I can't decide if he will wear both or just wear the one from her and just wear the other as clothes.  Decisions, decisions.  I can't wait to dress him up.

* We are on the look out for a new couch. I know what I want but finding one in the right price range is the key.  I say I know what I want but I don't know if I really do. 

* Here's 2 adorable videos of our growing boy!!!!

Henry

Henry decided on September 12, 2013 that he was ready to turn our lives upside down and start moving.  We have seen this coming for a few weeks but man he is wild.  He is into everything.  He loves to try to touch everything that he shouldn't and then to glance at us to make sure we are watching.  Andrew is learning he is going to have to start putting things up unless he wants little hand prints all over it.  I Love that little boy and am sad to see him growing up daily. 

He has pretty much decided that he is done with baby food.  I am trying to fix more baby friendly dinners but it's kind of hard.  He has tried noodles, waffles, breadsticks, chicken, greenbeans, apple and had his first bite of Twinkie tonight.  I mean why should he be deprived of the good stuff.

 
Doesn't he look innocent?
 
 
 
 

Reality is.....................

One of my clients(who I have worked with for almost 3 years) mentioned to me that she does not know how I keep all of my clients straight and remember everything about them.  I explained to her that it was a choice I made.

Yes, I have a pretty good memory but I still choose to listen to most of what is said. I can tell you all about all of my clients family memebers, birthdays, addresses and what ever major events they have going on in their lives.  Which most of them have more drama than you and I combined.  With that being said it made me think of things in my life.

I have my blog set to private for a reason.  I started this blog when we made the venture to Minnesota for family to see what was going on in our lives.  For the most part I know this blog is boring but right now it is perfect for me to note what is going on with our little guy.  Being private was a personal choice when I heard of someone reading the blog thru someone else and not having the nerve to talk to me about it.  Granted I am suppose to be close to this person.  They should know some of the things about me that I know about my clients and truth be known I doubt they do.  So again this got me thinking more. 

How much do you know about someone when you call them your friend?  I may not be the greatest friend, sister, wife, daughter or mom but darn it I do try.  I feel like I know or again try to know important things about my friends. Do you?

So the reality is we all probably need to look at our lives/friendships and see if we are being as good to others as we can be.

Thursday Thoughts

* Again I am so glad it is Thursday and I don't have to work tomorrow

* We have a baby on the move. Wow, not sure how I feel about this

*There is a baby currently chewing on my toes while I type this! He thinks it's hilarious!!!!

* We had an AMAZING weekend. Saturday we went to a part of St Paul we had never been to. The weather was perfect and Henry was so good. We watched plenty of football. Hopefully this weekend will be just as food!

*Its Thursday so that means were one week closer to Henry's and I's trip to Tx!!!!

* I cannot wait for fall! I am sick of the heat!

* We have family pictures scheduled in a few weeks. Hopefully our little guy will cooperate on the day.

* I am so sick of my clients. They are driving me crazy!!!!


Thursday, September 6, 2012

Thursday Thoughts

* Seems like forever since I have done my weekly posts but now that I am with the times I can do it from my phone again. Hopefully more posts now!!!!!

* the weather has cooled off here and it is so nice!!!!

* Football season is on at our house.  Andrew is in love and wants his baby to sit and watch with him, well see how long that lasts.

*Andrew woke up with carpet burns on his knees from trying to teach Hen to crawl. He doesn't understand it will happen when it happens.

* think we are going to the farmers market one last time before it closes!!!!

* Coleman turned a year older over the weekend. Calaway in a few weeks and then Crimson. Those kids need to slow down on growing up!!! We are going to celebrate in a few weeks when we're there!

* I got 90% of Henry's Halloween costume ready. I can't wait. Too bad he won't understand.

* Andrew and I have started talking about 1st birthdays for our little guy. We have big plans need to happen first. At this point I am keeping my fingers crossed we will have the party I want for my baby!!  Hopefully our dreams will come true!!!

Have a good weekend!!!'

8 Months

 
 
I don't even know how it is possible that our baby can be 8 months old.  It has gone by so quick and been a blast. 
 
Henry is on the verge of being mobile and I have very  mixed emotions about this.  He want's to move so badly so I have to be excited for him.  Now we just have to get this house ready for a baby on the move.
 
He is doing lots better with food.  He loves him some baby food but was uncertain about regular food.  Everyday we are giving him something new and defferent and he is liking it more and more.
 
I am unsure how much he weighs or how long he is are. 
He has 2 bottom teeth, loves all kinds of baby food except carrots, loves his stuffed fox, loves when his daddy comes home from work, seems to like dadycare, still takes 3 naps and is a very happy baby.
 
We LOVE you Henry Joseph and can't wait to see what you surprise us with this month. 
 
 
Oh, the changes you have made!!!!!
 
 
Love these two!!!

Finally Friday

Lately it has seemed like the weeks have been super long.  I am excited to have an extra long weekend with my 2 boys.  Of course we don't have much planned, but aren't those the best.  Tomorrow we are going to a local fall candy store.  I have some special BIG kids that I need to buy some things for.  Sunday Henry is going to get to make his 2nd trip to Cabela's.  I know he is super excited about this.  Andrew has to mow this weekend(hopefully the last time) so we will be stuck inside watching TV.  The bugs are too bad for Hen to be outside. 

Our little one turned 8 months old this week.  Post coming soon!  He wants to crawl so bad and gets so frustrated.  Andrew is ready for him to crawl but I am NOT.  He still only has 2 teeth but is trying more and more people food.  Soon he will be done with babyfood.  We still think he is the cutest funniest baby in the world. 

Our friends the O'Rears are patiently waiting for the arrival of their little guy.  Come on Grady, we can't wait for you arrival!!!!!  Kallahan, Henry and you are going to be best of friends.  Hopefully not as big of trouble makers as your dads.  Good Luck Lydia, hope your delivery is fast and smooth.

How is it possible?


We have not lowered Henry's crib at all.  The boy is all business when he is put in his crib.  He sleeps and talks and that is it.  He likes to nap in his crib better than anywhere else in the house.  This child may be sleeping in his crib til he's in jr. high.

But yet he needs a new carseat.  He is just too big for the infant carrier and is a mess when he knows he is being put in it.  So today is the day we are going to buy him a  new one.  Not sure if Andrew or Henry are more excited about this. 

And then he is on the verge of crawling.  Henry is at the point where he gets very frustrated that he cannot move. I am hoping he gets this taken care of in the next few weeks so he will be crawling when we go to Tx so he will have more fun chasing his cousins around. 


Speaking of cousins, here are some new pictures. The boys started a new school this year and sister will be joining them too soon. They are all about to turn a year older and I cannot believe how big they are getting.












And of course I have to give a big shout out to our wonderful friends the Reeves.  They are having a baby boy and we are so happy that Hen will have another friend to play with.  I cannot wait to meet that little guy!!!!!!

Of course here is a picture of Henry from this week!!!!!

 
I think the flash caught him a little off gaurd!!!!
