H-O-T

OH MY GOSH IT'S HOT!!!! It is 6:45 pm and it's 90 degrees...according to my weather bug! I know, I'm a nerd and have weather bug. I actually like it b/c it tells me the exact temperature here in Spring! Ok...my post isn't about weather bug...it's about how stinkin' hot it is here!! It's not even summer yet! This is going to be one H-O-T summer! All I can say is.... I am SO glad that I won't be 9 months pregnant this summer!

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a great Easter with family. We sure did. The Easter Bunny even brought Andrew a pool!! FUN! So, bring your swim suit Miss Jolie!!

picture time!!

Just thought I would share some pictures!

Little book worm..

This is for Carrie...playing with his froggie!...

This is for Jessica...playing with his duckie!...

This is for Aunt Jillie and Uncle JaJa...thanks for the big blue Easter bunny...we got it today!

Andrew got a new ride last week....yeah....it's a convertible!!

Last one...I tried taking his picture out front, but he was too busy eating the grass!!

where DOES the time go?

Well, I've been informed (by Stacy and Deborah) that it's been almost a week since I've last blogged. Deborah...come on, you can't give me a hard time...we're lucky to get a post from you once a month! :)

So, I would fill you in on what I've been doing, but I really don't know what I've done or where the time has gone! I will say that my child, who normally goes to bed at 6:45 is standing in his bed crying! Why? Who knows! It's the joy of having children. The first time I went in there he had a dirty diaper. That would make me cry too if I had to sleep 11 hrs in a dirty diaper. So why is he back up and crying? I just don't know! I've given him some teething stuff because I think that could be part of the problem. Or maybe he knows that Kristi isn't coming to visit him in a week or so....HA! (Kristi, don't get a big head!) It could be that he knows we are eating popsicles without him!! :)

Anyway, I really don't know where last week went. Matt was home a couple extra days so when he's off we are either playing outside or running more errands! This week is a pretty busy week too. I have some friends coming over tomorrow, doctor apt. for Andrew on Wednesday (big 9 month check-up), lunch with Jennifer Kracht Pearce Thursday...which did y'all know she is prego?...about to pop in a month! Then Friday I might go to visit a friend. See, I'm pretty boring these days! Which is why I don't post! Like y'all care what goes on every day in my life! :)

I will share this picture that Matt took with his phone! Today we went walking by the lake and Matt...being the outdoorsman that he is...spotted a turtle and wanted Andrew to touch it. Of course Andrew was pointing at it and just wanted to grab it. So Matt got his little kick out of it and then we finished our walk.

16 more days until Megan and Jolie come!!! :)

cookie monster

Here's a funny picture of Andrew eating his cookie. He decided that he needed to rub his eye and smear cookie all over his face!! Just had to share.

date night!!

So tonight I have a date with two of the sweetest boys I know!! What more could a girl ask for? Yes, my date consists of going out with my hubby and my son. I know we should get a sitter, but I actually enjoy going out with Andrew too! Why should he miss all the excitment? All we are doing is going to eat and then come back home to watch a movie. It's too hard to keep Andrew out past 6:30 because he is fussy and ready for bed....fine by me that my night is cut short because I would rather him go to bed early than late!

My friend with the twins is coming over today. I'm SO excited!! They are both over 6 pounds now so we agreed it was okay to bring them around Andrew. He's not going to know what to do with two babies here. He gets all excited around other babies. Amy, don't worry, tell Sadie I'll be keeping a tight rope on this boy!

Well, someone is tugging at my shorts because he's ready to eat!!

relaxin' and teethin'

Today went by so fast and right now is the first time I've been able to sit down and relax! I've been busy making Andrew some food. Fun stuff! I was all for buying the jar food, but was getting a little bored w/ the same stuff! After talking with some friends...Amy included.. for ideas on making your own baby food, I decided to make my own. It was actually kind of neat and Andrew really enjoyed dinner tonight!! Feel free to give me any baby food recipes!!

Speaking of Andrew...poor boy...he's been SO fussy lately!!! He got his first tooth in last week and now I can see another about to break through. So really he's been fussy for the last two weeks. I am hoping we get a break and won't have another tooth coming in for a while!!

Matt would like me to add that Andrew's tooth is not completely in!! It is partially in. I'm sorry if I have mislead you!!

random stuff

Kristi came over last night. We had some good food!! Except I remembered today Kristi that I forgot to make my rice! ...oh well!

My living room is still in shambles. I'm still working on my scrapbook. I've done 16 pages and am STILL not caught up! I even took more pictures of Andrew today and was thinking...now I'm going to have MORE to scrap! Matt just ran to Michaels to get me some tape. I normally buy all my stuff from my sister who sells Creative Memories. However, when I ran out of tape on Sunday I decided to run to Michaels to get some other tape. I didn't want to wait on my sister to send it. So then on Tuesday I ran out AGAIN! And tonight I ran out AGAIN! I should have just told my sister to send me some because her tape last a heck of a lot longer than Michaels junk!

As for Andrew ...he's been keeping us busy! He's all over the place. Everyone always said that when they start crawling you will hate it, but I actually love it! He can get where he needs to be and is actually understanding what NO means! It's funny because at night when I start his bath water he will hear it and come crawling in there...as if to say...I'm ready for my bath mom!! He's also been standing for a few seconds by himself too...I see walking in the near future!!! I'm attaching a picture of him standing. I took it with my phone so the quality isn't that great. Oh...ignore my scrapping junk in the background! Anyway, I can't believe how fast this time has gone and how much he is able to do!! Fun times!

Well...that's about it!

for kristi

um...so yeah, this post is for Kristi. She wanted me to write about her...well actually she said she wanted me to poast about her. Not sure what that means. :)

Anyway, I will say that it's been great having Kristi in town. We try to meet up about once a week...did I say meet?...well, she comes here. What a trooper! She also knows my butt won't drive in that crazy Houston traffic! That's why I don't live there!! So it has been nice seeing and hanging out with her. I really don't know how she has been here so long. I would LITERALLY go insane without seeing Matt for that long....but I do know that Matt and I lived in a hotel for 3 months and it was AWESOME!! Room service and a maid!! What more could you ask for? I do know it's hard for her though....but she says her job here is better than her job in Dallas. So you do what ya gotta do!! She has offered to keep Andrew so Matt and I can go out one night. We haven't taken her up on, but don't worry Kristi... WE WILL!!! :) You are sweet to offer!! We'll see you tomorrow night!!
