Labor day weekend and some big news!!

This past week we went to Mississippi to visit with all of our friends and family. The small town I grew up in had a festival and I always go to it!! I will do another post on my Prairie Arts purchases!! I also did a mini photo shoot with my new niece!! I will do another post with some of those pictures!! The biggest news that came out of this past weekend was that this little guy is...................

going to be a big brother!!! After trying for a year and half for Brady and then we tried for a year to get pregnant with this one, needless to say we are very excited!! Our second miracle is due March 4, 2011!! I am 15 weeks today!! Only 5 more weeks until we find out the sex of our precious little one!!

18 month stats

We went to Brady's 18 month check-up last week!! He did pretty well! He kept saying door and out, it was so funny!! He just wanted to get out of that room! He weighs 31 lbs. (95%) and he is 35 inches tall (97%)!!!! We have a very healthy boy!!

Mary Clayton is here!!

My niece was born today at 12:39pm!! She weighs 7 lbs. 10oz. and is 19 1/2 inches long!! She has a little hair but not much and they said she has dimples!! We are so excited that mom and baby are doing great!! Congratulations Caley, Kasey, Connor, Cael, and Collins!! We can't wait to meet her next week!!

18 months

Wow!! My baby is 18 months old today!! He is growing up so fast!! He is so busy these days getting into everything and doing new things!

• He has 16 teeth
• He is a good eater! He is not a huge fan of meat though!! He would rather have veggies and fruits!
• Still sleeps 12 hours straight a night, in his own crib
• He doesn't walk much, he runs!!
• He climbs on everything and that includes the dining table!
• He would rather sit in his booster seat that his high chair!
• He counts to three, but you can only make out the number two!!
• He says many words: Mamma, Da for daddy, hey, bye, bubbles, boo, gone, shake, cup, color, tree, nananana for banana (it is so cute when he says it), ball, yeah, there, turtle, cow, shoes, car, shirt, star, moon, sun, clouds, bu for buzz, no, stop, rock, dog and I know there are many more but I can't think of them all
• He makes many animal sounds! They are so cute!! And if he doesn't know what sound an animal makes he will make one up!
• He has my temper!! (Oh no!! We are in BIG trouble!!)
• He wears mostly 2t but he can fit into a few 24 months and he wears a size 4 diaper.
• He is right handed
• He loves to point to all of his body parts when you ask him where they are! (nose, ears, hair, mouth, tongue, eyes, hands, fingers, feet, toes, belly, bellybutton legs, arms)
• He loves to gives hugs and kisses!
• He is learning his colors and shapes.
• Loves to play with his puzzles and is pretty good at them!
• He ignores me a lot!! LOL
• He is definitely in the terrible twos!!
• I think he weighs about 30 lbs. and he is probably 33-34 inches tall!! His 18 months check-up is in about 2 weeks!

He is such a joy and I can't wait to see what the next 18 months have in store for us!!

5 years ago today....

I married my best friend in Seaside, Fl!! Time has flown by!! We started dating in January of 2000 so this past January we were together for 10 years!! It doesn't seem like it has been that long! We have had our ups and downs but we are closer because of it and love each other more and more everyday! Happy anniversary to the greatest husband ever!!

If you want to see some more pics from the wedding you can go to this post.

Bad Blogger

I have been a really bad blogger lately!! I am one day shy of it being a whole month since my last blog!! I have just been really lazy lately!! We haven't done a whole lot lately and I am kinda enjoying it!! We did go to Mississippi a little over a week ago! We had a great time as always!!

This summer has flown by so fast!! My birthday is Friday!! I will be the big 2-8 and then our 5 year anniversary is the next Friday!! We thought about going to San Antonio this weekend or next and take Brady to Sea World but I kinda just want to stay at home!! I am getting really excited that we are going to Destin at the end of September!! I found a great house on the beach that has it's own private splash pool that will be perfect for Brady to play in!!

Here are a few pics that I took in Mississippi!!

First ride on a tractor!! He loved it!

Last picture of only boys!! Next time we visit Mary Clayton will be here!! They wouldn't cooperate so this is the best picture I got!! LOL

Brady wearing Collins' sunglasses!

Messy face!

Working hard for the money......

So hard for the money!! Not really but I've had that song stuck in my head, and I have been working hard on all of Mary Clayton's things for her room!!! I am so excited to show ya'll pics!!

I can't believe my niece will be here in less than 2 months!!

Bow Holder with ruffle ribbon

Lamp that is halfway done!! I still have to finish the other side of it!! It is taking forever!!

I hung the canvases with the same ruffle ribbon I used for the bow holder!!
