Ready for the new baby....we think!

So, just a few days until our new little man will join us. I am scheduled for a c-section on Monday, June 14th at 7:30 in the morning. We have to be there at 5:30 AM and it takes us about 40 minutes to drive to Frisco! Yikes that is going to be super early but we are so ready to meet him! However this will be just the beginning of the early mornings coming my way...UGHH...I am sooo NOT looking forward to that part. Here are just a few pics of Landon's room that will be waiting for him when he comes home.

We decided on a transportation theme and found this cute car and airplane bedding. I'm not really the kind of gal that likes the pastel baby colors and wanted something that could grow with him. It has mostly red, orange, khaki, yellow, blue and brown. The furniture is espresso colored and we really just wanted something different than Mason's bed (which has the skinny slats that almost every crib these days has). So finding something a little different was very hard. The name and airplanes are a vinyl decal my mom found on Etsy. We painted the walls a neutral khaki color, too.

This is an idea I had with Mason's room that really worked for us. We put the changing pad on top of this bookshelf. The diapers are in the top bin and we just keep the wipes in one of the top cubbies. Functional storage...perfect!

This is a sign my mom found for the room. Super cute for these soon to be brothers!
Which reminds me... here is the other cool thing that will be waiting for Landon when he gets home...

A super cute...

super crazy...

and fiesty BIG BROTHER.

So Landon...you might want to bring your boxing gloves with you and keep working on that right hook these last few days in mommy's tummy!

P.S. - Mason tried out your new swing for you, and

he thinks you're going to like it!

We can't wait to meet you, Landon!

Hunt with friends

We had a hunt on Saturday with Lane & Lauren.

Lane and Mason were born on the exact same day!

Lauren gave Mason lots of hugs and eggs too!

Mason wasn't too sure what to think.

Well I actually had a four day weekend and got to spend all of it with my little man! Oh and the tiny one in my BIG belly came along too of course. We went to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens and Fort Worth Zoo. Oh by the way... there are purposely no pics of this said belly! Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Long time no blog!

My Sweet Boy!

Yes...I'm still alive, and yes I'm officially the worst blogger on the planet. While I have had SO MUCH to blog about these last few weeks I have had ZERO energy to do so and very little time. Soooooo ... the lack of energy and feeling like crap is because...I'M PREGNANT...AGAIN!



Ok...so if you were completely suprised by this news...join the club...ME TOO!! While it did take me a while to get over being completely blind-sided by this information, I am doing much better and excited too! I am actually 17 weeks pregnant and due in June...AGAIN! Mason will be turning 2 right about the time this little one gets here. Whew, if I think I am busy and tired now...I am in for it! And yes...in case anyone is wondering I do know how these things happen!



Anyhoo, we had a wonderful Christmas this year and I was just happy to survive it. Imagine trying to decorate and shop after...working on your feet all day, feeling like you've been drugged by the sleepy fairy and trying not to vomit (or dry heave) all while taking care of a very active 18 month old. OMG...I think I need a drink...CRAP I can't have one...I'M PREGNANT...are you freakin' kidding me!!! Yep I survived Christmas...woohoo...maybe next year I'll feel better...wait...then I'll have a 2 1/2 year old and a 6 month old...awww, who am I kidding!



Yep this IS my life. So some unexpected things have come my way, but everything happens for a reason, right? I just take it one day at a time...and unfortunately most days that doesn't include blogging. Sorry Mom! Happy New Year!

Fall FUN

He loves climbing inside EVERYTHING!

Mason was a lion for Halloween

We actually took him trick-or-treating. He got the hang of it pretty quickly.

He would say "knock-knock"

This candy stuff is pretty good. YUM!

Mimi got Mason a big bucket of goodies!

We taught him how to "Roar"...too cute!

OU/TX Game

This year we decided to just watch the game from home. First year in a long time that we have not gone, but life with a kiddo changes some things! We had a few people over to watch the game with us. It was an absolutely crazy game to watch. Seeing Bradford go down in the first quarter totally took the wind out of our sails! However we still had plenty of chances to win the game. Too many turnovers and too many field goals when we should have touchdowns. I still say if Bradford plays the whole game, the Longhorns lose.

PS - The deal in our house is that Mason has to wear the jersey of the team that won the year before, and then whomever wins the game. So I didn't get to see him in his OU jersey today. So sad!

Mason on the Move

So do you know the saying "If you can't beat'em...join'em?" Well this is like that except it's "If you can't keep him still......take his picture anyway!" Mason is definitely the busiest person I know and he gets into EVERYTHING. He...unrolls toilet paper, opens drawers, pulls everything out of the drawers, puts crazy & random things in the drawers, sits IN the refrigerator, climbs on/under/through furniture, jumps on the couch, climbs up the playhouse, slides down the slide by himself, hits the dog with a plastic baseball bat, plays in the dog's food/water, climbs in his car "Dukes of Hazard" style (through the window), throws perfectly good food/cups/other objects in the trash, tries to climb in the bath tub (water or no water), picks up bugs/rocks/cigarette-butts off the ground then tries to eat'em, throws food from his high chair and then decides that maybe it tastes better off the floor (YUCK!), kicks/throws/hits every kind of ball you can think of, and he thinks EVERYTHING is a sword and then will attack you with such sword... And all of this stuff was just in the last few days! He definitely keeps us on our toes and there is no doubt this kid is all BOY!

Going down the slide in the backyard. (Crazy swimwear and crazy hair secondary to swimming pool just prior to photo)

Playing swords with cousin Lauren at the lake. Pieces of wood make great swords!

High-fiving Gramps

Sitting in the fridge...I don't know why he does this!?!
