Big Boy Bed

Recently I decided it was time to move Henry to his BBB. No reason, just felt since he was 2 it was time. So our journey began. Night one of course went better than expected!!!!! And from then it has just gotten worse. I am ready to throw in the towel. Yes, I admit almost everything else we have done with this child has been a cakewalk.  The past two nights my fat ass and his big butt have tried to sleep in a tiny twin bed. Don't worry Andrew thinks this is nothing, all while he sleeps in our King size bed. The crib is still set up and I would love to throw his but back in it! Hoping tonight is better as I am exhausted right now.  

In a few short weeks were going to tackle potty training so I would love to get this done before another adventure begins.  

Seriously who wouldn't want to cuddle with this dude all night!!!!! 

Christmas 2013 and New Years

Christmas has come and gone. I can't say I am sad that it's all over. It's hard work, it's stressful and tiring. 

We went to my inlaws for the first part. Henry got his beloved truck there. It sure makes our walks easier.  

We then headed to Lubbock to celebrate with my family. I only took pictures with my good camera, which is haven't uploaded. 

We had a good time with family and got everything on our lists. This is the first year in years that I actually made a list and I am blessed to say I got everything I wanted. I must have been good. 

We had a blast celebrating Hen's 2nd Birthday. We made our first trip to Mr.Gattis. Hen and I loved it but Andrew was not impressed. Not much to offer here in Midland but he doesn't seem to understand!!! 

We had a pretty calm NYE, although it was fun we celebrated with our new friends, The Clicks. We had a nice steak dinner and the adults got to play some games while the kids played!!! We were in bed by 10, we're getting old!!! On New Year's Day I went to the famous Dillard's sale, I got some great stuff. This will become a tradition. Next year I just want Dillard's gift cards for Christmas to prepare. 

Year in Pictures

What an amazing year this little guy has given us. We are so blessed to be his parents! With his vocabulary and personality blooming I cannot wait to see what the next year holds! Love ya BIG boy!!!!

Quick Update

We have been super busy so of course the blog has been neglected!

Thanksgiving was wonderful. We went to Lubbock, ate some great food, us girls shopped and just hung out. Black Friday wasn't near as exciting as years past. I think that might have been then end of my Black Friday shopping. Andrew went hunting and got us a deer, so we can continue to eat!!!

We have had snow here in Midland which has caused many days at home. It was fine with me because we needed some time at home.

Last weekend Andrew and I headed to Dallas for a few days. Much needed!!!! We ate meals with adult conversation, I got to eat whatever I wanted without having to share and we went to a great football game. Wow! Go Pack Go!!!!!! It was good to spend time with the hubby but I was sure excited to see my baby!

Next up for this weekend is Christmas with both sides of our family and then back to our home for Christmas just the 3 of us. I. Cannot. Wait. And the. Of course someone is turning 2!!!!!

It's been an amazing year and I have so much to be Thankful for!!!!!

Thursday Thoughts Thanksgiving Edition

* I am Thankful to have a few days off to spend with family.

* I am Thankful for my recent career change. I quit my career in the mental health field all in hopes of being accepted into a teaching certification program. I got in!! Hopefully everything will continue to go smoothly with this change.

* Henry started another new daycare and of course he never skipped a beat. He loves it and already acts like he runs the place. This will be his home until he starts kinder.

* I am beyond Thankful for my amazing husband. He loves me unconditionally and uses all his patience on me.  I am Thankful for his hard work that has allowed me to make this recent career change. I am Thankful he allows me to be me and loves me for that.

* I am so Thankful that I am Henry's mom. I love hearing him call my name from the other room and how he is definetly a momma's boy. I am Thankful that I was chosen to have this job that I truly cherish.

* I am Thankful for my family. My parents are the greatest. I know they don't always 100% agree with our parenting choices but they support us anyways. They are always willing to help us in anyway even if that means putting their life on hold. For that I am Thankful.
I am Thankful for my brother's family. His three kids melt my heart! His kids are great with Henry and he thinks they are the greatest thing EVER!

Busy, Busy

We have been busy going from here to there. I have been subbing and have definetly got my foot in the door at some schools. I am going to a new school tomorrow and then the rest of the week at the same school. 

We have been in Lubbock the last few weekends. Lots of cousin time! We will be back there for Thanksgiving! I can't believe the holidays are right around the corner. Good thing we are super close to being done with our shopping. I guess with the warm temps I don't feel like it can be thanksgiving/Christmas. AND I will have a 2 year old sooner than later. 

About that  almost 2 year old, he is still having fun enjoying the terrible 2's. Due to this him and his dad both need an attitude adjustment. Drive me crazy!!!! Just keeping it real people, it's not all lollipops around here!  I truly love them but they can make me pull out my hair. 

This little cutie outside playing as I type this. 

Catch Up

We had a blast this past weekend in Lubbock with our friends, the Reeves.  Our Red Raiders didn't pull out a W, but it was still fun. We had an amazing tailgate spot, right by the field and the weather was perfect.  We made a short visit to the bar after the game which was fun! 

Andrew is going hunting on Wednesday so we have a short week at home. Hen and I are headed to Lubbock again. I am  going to relax and get my haircut. I have waited too long since my last one and need it dearly.  I am truly blessed to be able to do all these things!!!!!! Loving my Life!!!!
