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!!!! 

Halloween 2013

We had so much fun with our little Turkey. He did great with his costume and trick or treating. He loved loading up his pumpkin and loved hafnium out goodies. 

Can't wait to see his reactions for Christmas and his birthday.

Thursday Thoughts

* As of tomorrow this mama is unemployed and could not be more excited. I had doubts but now I know it was the right decision and will be very happy. Hurry up Friday!!!!

* Poor Andrew lost a very dear friend this week. I am so glad that we got to see him a few months ago. I know Andrew is very sad about this although he is acting tough. Andrew is very lucky and lost very few people.

* Henry and I are headed to Lubbock tomorrow for Crim's bday. I know he will love it, it's his first birthday party to attend. We're also going to get the boys play football and Cal play baseball. Going to have a blast.

* Next weekend we are headed back to Lubbock for the Tech/OSU game with our friends the Reeves. I cannot make promises that I am not going to get as intoxicated as I did last time. Let's face  it we have some major gossip to catch up on and need to celebrate my unemployment!!!!! CANNOT.WAIT!

* I cannot wait to see Hen in his full Halloween costume. We're going to try trick or treating, should be interesting.
