All Aboard !!! :D

All aboard the Polar Express !!!

A few days before Christmas Daddy surprised our

little man with some tickets to go ride the Polar Express train,

just like in his favorite movie! :D

It was a long drive &we weren't sure we'd make it but

we managed to get to the train station just in time

to pick up our tickets, find our cart &seats &get settled in. :)

It was all definitely worth seeing the look on David's face when the train blew

it's whistle and puffed smoke even from the parking lot!

He kept yelling ALL ABOARD!, CHOOCHOO!, TRAIN!

&making steam noises.. XD

He definitely knows his trains lol.

Hubby &I had never been on a real train either so we were just as excited!

You're encouraged to wear your pjs just like in the movie which little

man did, I wish we had! Sure will next year..

We'll definitely be going again :D

I got as many pics as I could!

 Holding his Polar Express ticket

(the whole time we were on the train he refused to let go of it!)

 I'd say he was pretty happy about the free chocolate chip

oatmeal cookies :D

Post was super long

CLICK BELOW TO SEE THE REST!

Chalk fun :)

David's Nonnie(my Momma!)

got him a box of sidewalk chalk
&we FINALLY got around to making some art on our porch!

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today's St. Patrick's Day :D

We don't really celebrate it i.e. green beer, partying/drinking like we're Irish,

pinching people not wearing green, or even wearing green ourselves(this year anyway)..

Last year I only wore it cause we were going to hang out with

family and I didn't want to get pinched.. -_-

This year we put David in a cute little green onesie and just went to have

some nice family time at the park. :)

David trying to figure out how to work his shoes lol

This goofy kid <3

Daddy flew his helicopter for a little bit while me and David

walked around playing with sticks &taking pictures :P

Few pics of my handsome man today ;)

 WE CAN FINALLY SEE HIS 1ST TOOTH!

It broke through the last week or two but now it's camera ready! :D

He's got the 1 next to it coming in soon, it hasn't cut thru justt yet..

Love this little boy so much <3

Kiwi!

So I've been trying to get David to try some new foods here lately..

1. So he will have a broader palate than sayy... ME!

2. Since he's not eating meat and can't have dairy products he can

get his vitamins from multiple places to make sure he's getting what his little body needs. :)

He wasn't quite feeling the camera this morning :P

Will post every now and again what he's up to/eating since this vegetarian/vegan thing is obviously

new to both of us.. :D

David's 1st Birthday!!! :D

So assss usual I was too busy having fun &playing hostess to take pictures.. :(

My own kid's birthday you'd think I'd have gotten

more than like 4 pictures. -_- Lol

HOPEFULLY I'll be more prepared next year!

Oh well here's my little birthday boy!

Enjoying his birthday cupcake!!!

 Opening presents with Daddy :)

Playing with his pillow pet night light!

Sweet little man passed out post party on our way home. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID CONRAD <3

Hope you had a great 1st birthday! :)

Happy 1st Birthday little one <3

Dear David Conrad,

     A year ago today @9:30 PM, I gave birth to a beautiful 7 lb 1.2 oz 19 in baby boy..

We'd been waiting months for him to get here,

&when he did we couldn't have been happier and more blessed than in that moment.

We changed in a split second from a regular couple,

to a Mommy &Daddy that would move the Earth to make sure

he was safe and loved and got everything he needed in this world.

     That baby boy was you. :)

You came into our lives just when we needed you the most

and have completed this little family we started.

It's been only a year but I don't know where we'd be without you sweet baby.

We thank God everyday that he made you just for us.

 Even at one year's old you are already so smart, funny, sweet, and loving

and we can't wait to see what good you bring to this world.

You will do great things and I promise we'll be there every step of the way.

We are already so proud of you. <3

So today's your day big boy!

We love you so much David. :)

Love,

Mommy &Daddy

No time to say hello, goodbye I'm late I'm late I'm late!

My goodness friends I am so sorry I've been MIA for a long while now! :P Not only did MY laptop finally give out(the screen could never stay up on its own, then the screen went &stayed black); but Hubby's Mac's battery decided to up &die one day &also never turn back on. >:( So for now my nice father-in-law lent me his laptop!

Terrible considering ALLL of my pics are on both of them. So yes my posts from Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, &everything else in between are also MIA, just for now I hope.

But just a quick update minus pics:

All the holidays with Jon, David, &myself being our firsts w/baby boy were amazing naturally. (:

~Halloween was my 22nd birthday! I celebrated by trick-or-treating for David's 1st Halloween, he was Winnie The Pooh! Cutest little Pooh we'd ever seen! He seemed to like visiting everyone's doors to say hello :P He didn't really get tired till there at the end of course by then it was time to head home anyway.

~Thanksgiving had wrenches thrown into it as David had a high fever we couldn't get down and was crying inconsolably so we only got to visit w/one house of relatives! Had to take the poor baby to the hospital &spend the rest of our Thanksgiving day there just hoping he'd feel better. :( Turned out to be another annoying ear infection. >:( Darn those things!

~Christmas was good also: went to see the Festival of Lights, picked out a live tree, bought our own decorations for it &a pretty tree skirt.

We didn't get to take a picture with Santa as we were super late in December for it &just broke my heart since we won't have that picture for later years to look back on.. :( But on the plus side we had a nice Christmas as a family &did get sweet pictures for the rest of the time. :)

~New Years we spent at home counting down as the ball dropped in Times Square on TV w/ordered-in pizza &the munchkin getting to stay up and play late for a change!

I'd like to point out that only in Texas is it hot during basically all these Holidays!

Even a couple days in January so far have been shorts kinda days.

Business has yet to be started as I'm back on my own, granted I like it better that way. (: Less drama when I don't have to share my business decisions with anyone but ME. So still working out the kinks, but since it's a new year with a fresh start I figure it's now or never to get started!

On a side note keeping myself busy planning David's 1st birthday coming here in February! Considering how big even just my immediate family is, I'm having trouble finding a place to have it.. >:( Our place just isn't big enough! So much for keeping his 1st bday small.. :/ I'm also considering making homemade pizza like I have before! But I'll probably make a whole different post for David's bday planning just to keep track of it all as I go along. (:

Anywhooo that's it for now, hopefully soon we can get our computers back up and running &I can share our holiday pictures with you! Till then (:

Early Trick-or-Treating!

Every year the old folks home down the street from my Grandma's has a little festival!

All the kiddos can go around to the Grandmas &Grandpas that live there and trick-or-treat, they have free snow cones, popcorn, cupcakes, punch lots of goodies. (:

Me and Hubby went last year &I was about 6 or 7 months pregnant, so this year was a bit funner since we had our little man with us. (:

Anddd just in time after much hunting we found the perfect Winnie The Pooh costume at The Disney Store! It's actually more of a onesie Pooh outfit but that's ok with me he can wear it any time of the year and it's not ugly like the actual costume was. :/

Painting Day At The Park

So today me &two of my besties got together with our boys and decided to go to the park!

Let the boys play a little and had ourselves a "painting session"!

Needless to say they were little Picassos and loved getting all messy, like boys do. :P

They had so much fun &so did us Mommies!

I was covered in paint from David "sharing" and he got to paint for the first time. :]

Mommy was so proud &now I have a beautiful new painting to frame &put on our walls. <3

Minus the last monster picture,

these great pics were taken by my bestie

All Business

as i mentioned in a prior post

hubby has started his new job

and loves it so far (:

he works with good people, gets plenty of overtime

which means a better check for the family, has a nice boss

&gets to work with cars which he always enjoys.

here around the house David has started scooting/crawling

all over the place &i couldn't be prouder :D

which is also a nice reminder that i need to jump

on gettting shelves to put everything up on out of reach!

he also yesterday started pulling himself

up to stand up! right before falling over along w/his legos :P

he's trying &doing so many new things

we can hardly keep up! but it makes us so happy

as new parents to watch him grow up (:

on a side note i've been looking into ways to make money from

home &have found a few little ideas that tickle

my fancy so we'll see where all that goes!

hubby &i are making a trip

to east texas to visit some family

this weekend &we're considering it as a much needed

mini-vacation :D
