the BIG day

Tomorrow is the big (somewhat dreaded) day. Andrew and I are flying to Nashville to see my sister and her family. ...I know y'all already know this. I really only dread the flying part. Normally I am all about flying, but I'm a little nervous on how Andrew is going to be. I'm just worried that Andrew will get tired and fight trying to sleep in my arms. He likes to just be put to bed. So we will see how that goes. Anywho...thanks for the well wishes!! And yes Jessica, I will try to comment on the blogs if I can't post some!!

up on all four

Here are some latest pics of Andrew trying to crawl. Today he started scooting!! It's so fun to see him learn new things.

Well, I figure it's time for me to post again before the blogger nazi gets on to me. I will admit I liked my last post about lurking that I didn't want to bump it down yet. Of course I know some of you read it and didn't answer!!!

Not much new here. Only exciting news was the police came to my house last week. They were here to arrest Matt...JK!! ...that's how rumors get started!! I had actually set off the house alarm. I opened the back door thinking the alarm was off and...it wasn't! So I RAN to the front of the house and shut it off. It took a whole 5 seconds for me to get there and shut it off. Then Andrew and I went to play in his room and I grabbed the phone in case the security people called. They never did. I decided it was okay to pack up and head to Target. As I'm getting stuff ready my cell phone rings. Now anyone that knows me knows my cell phone doesn't work at my house!!! Stupid Cingular!! I look at the number and didn't recognize it. I tried to answer it, but of course...no signal! I checked the message and it was the security people telling me my alarm went of...DUH! So I put Andrew in his car seat and my home phone rings. It's my friend Eileen. She says...Shandra?...your home? I said..yes isn't that where you were calling? (me and my sarcastic self) She then proceeds in telling me that my security people called her! I'm like... those idiots didn't call my home phone. So long story short...I call them...they claim they called (whatever!) and we settled it. As I am grabbing Andrew's car seat I glance out the window and a constable goes passing by. I thought...you've got to be kidding me!! He passes my house up and I'm relieved... and then he stops and backs up. So I open the door and he's all trying to get his flashlight and stuff out of his car and I was like...hello!?!...don't shoot me...I live here!! It was no big deal and he left! So that was all the excitement here!!

I'm leaving for a week with Andrew. We are heading up to TN to see my sister and her family. They are so excited because they haven't met Andrew yet. Hopefully Andrew will be good flying. I know when I used to fly and I would see kids I was like...great a baby. :O Now people are going to look at me and be like....great!..a baby! So if I don't post in a while...now you know why!!

lurker

I totally admit that I am a blog lurker/stalker...whatever you want to call it. I can't believe how many old Tech people have blogs! I would comment on some of them, but don't want to make a fool out of myself when they don't remember me. :) It's really neat to see everyone and hear what's been going on in their lives tho!! So, come on, admit it....are you a lurker too???

weekend fun

Sorry Mandy! It took you too long to post these!!! :)

mute

Can I just say that while everyone was here this weekend they kept calling Andrew a mute. Of course they were teasing, but he would hardly babble or squeal around them...and definitely wouldn't say "mama" so they think I'm lying about that. Ever since they have left my child is back to his "normal" self. He has been squealing from the top of his lungs and talking up a storm. If I knew how to record it and download it to this site I would....but I can't figure it out (so y'all will think I am lying again!) So girls...I would take it personally my child was mute around y'all because y'all scared him!! :) Jk! Let's just say you better be glad because it's 7:50 and he would have had you ALL out of bed before 8!!

the paparazzi has left!!!

This weekend Andrew thought the paparazzi was here. He had cameras on him all weekend and he was loving it. He LOVED the attention from all the girls. I think he is already a little bored with me this morning.
It was great seeing everyone and meeting up with Jennifer Pearce, Todd, Michelle, Kristi and Deborah. Hope you Dallas girl and Deborah had safe travels home. I'm sure you're ALL sleeping in today (except Deborah)!!! I, on the other hand, got up at 7 because Andrew doesn't care that I partied all weekend and have had little sleep...it's okay...I'll catch up at nap time.
I don't have pictures to post since everyone else had their cameras, so you will have to check out their blogs!!

parTAY!

So the big party is here this weekend!! Mandy, Deborah, Jessica, Stacy and Linda are all coming to H-town. Good times, good times!! I'm excited to see everyone as it's been months since we've gotten together. So if you read Mandy, Jessica, Kristi, or Deborah's blogs they will be too busy this weekend to write!!

aunt jill

Well, these pics are for all to enjoy :), but really for Aunt Jill. The ones of him sitting were all blurry because I was trying to make him smile and take the picture at the same time... obviously I am not as talanted as I thought I was!!
