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!

Oh Christmas Tree!!!

We got the tree a few days ago but as usual we take forever

getting around to doing things! :P

This is the little winner we got at Lowes!

Now on to decorating the dang thing!

These are from last night :)

 David playing with his stuffed Elf :P

 Hubby being silly posing with the lights XD

Love this man <3

^^^ This seemed to be David's favorite part of the whole

"decorating the tree" business..

Last year it was trying to chew on the lights and hitting them

with his chubby hands <3

This year it was stomping on them

and walking around getting a lightbulb massage on his little feet! :)

This crazy boy..

These are the stockings Nonnie got us last year,

I want to say AFTER Christmas?

Before I took this pic they still had price tags :P

So I think we got em ahead for THIS year :D

Really trying to figure out what this Elf DOES lol

All the decoration chaos!

David LOVEDD this little tree :)

It was actually one of the first decorations we got in our

very 1st apartment back forever ago!

 I CANNOT get over how freaking cute he looks here :D

What's funny is this doesn't look much like him at all!

Idk maybe just his hair all combed to the side

&that Bambi look! <3

Absolutely love our little family &the

wonderful man that brought us together <3 <3 <3

It was ridiculously hard to get a family pic

with this little one sitting still! Lol

The only way I could see was to flip my little screen around on my camera

but that sets an automatic 3 second timer!=Not good for a 2 year old -_-

Bubba also loved the mini angel we had from our old

mini tree from the last apartment. :) He kept carrying her around <3

 Gosh our little man is getting so big!

It's crazy to think this time next year we'll have

an almost 3 &1 year old! :(

Daddy helping Bubba put ornaments up high :)))

(Not sure why but these last 3 pics Blogger is making all funky looking sorry!)

Trying to decorate his own little tree :))

And last but not least taking a little pumpkin bread break &settling

down to watch some Charlie Brown Christmas as a family :)

Our unique finished tree!

David insisted on moving ornaments or taking some off completely!

So we'll have more to put on later ;)

I can't begin to say how blessed I am to have

such a sweet little boy(soon two boys!)

and such a loving caring husband to take care of us.

I can already tell this Christmas is going to be great

just because I have them in my life!

Already got all I could want and need <3

HAPPY HALLOWEEN / BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!

Well nasty weather or not we still ended up getting to TRICK OR TREAT!

Thank goodness! This Mama was NOT a happy camper

when I didn't think we'd get to go take our Elmo out

to show him off, lol. It was only his 2nd Halloween

I didn't wanna miss it!

Plus we didn't manage to get to a pumpkin patch to pick out

pumpkins and take pics or carve a pumpkin so this was our last Halloween hoorah!

And OF COURSE

I only got a few pics taken too busy watching little man have fun. :)

Didn't catch any pics of Aunt Riley she had Heelies on

&wastes no time getting that candy! XP

And too busy huffing and puffing this preggo belly up and down the street. -_-

Can't imagine if I had actually dressed up it may have been worse lol.

On the plus side the weather was cool FOR ONCE,

Bubba wasn't tooo scared to go get his candy

&he didn't freak out wanting his costume off!.:)

Overall night=SUCCESS

(Some pics came out better than others=my iphone vs my actual camera :P)

David all dressed up ready to rock &roll! Haha :D

My two best boys <3 <3

My handsome Elmo!

 David &&his Nonnie  :)

 Aubry Layne all dolled up! :)

Miss Kacie &Jancoth

&Kevin the Bumblebee!

Trick-or-treating with his Aunt Kacie :D

Chilling in his wagon Nonnie brought for this very reason! Haha :P

We also got to stop by Grandma &Grandpa's to see them,
Mimi &Aunt Marissa after trick-or-treating!
We didn't get to stay long cause it was already getting to be bedtime
&we were all exhausted from all that walking.. :(
But here's Bubba and his Aunt Marissa
Mimi caught a pic of them!

Then got to stop by Popo &Grandma's house
so they could see his little costume before heading home,
course by then David was ready to be out of it
and relaxing! Lol :P

Hehem, on a side note it was also MY BIRTHDAY!

Not that I was too worried about that part. :P

Was just glad we got to see family and

little man got to have his fun dressing up and trick-or-treating! :)

Hubby didn't skip it though

got me some Wingstop and this freaking delicious

fudge brownie cheesecake beforehand..

 and took me to Barnes &Noble the next day after our date night at Olive Garden!

to get some yummy hot chocolate &books <3

Love that man <3

These 3 were the day AFTER Halloween

David decided he wanted to keep wearing his costume

around the house..

My cutiepie :))

This one he told Elmo ni-night, kissed his hand

and put it on Elmo's head.. XD

This little boy cracks me up.. :)

Well that's all I've got this year but I'm sure next year will be a WHOLE

different story with twoo boys and a not-so-preggo

Mama that can actually keep up and dress up!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY! :)

And his name shall be...

Our peanut has a name!

LUCAS ROBERT :)

(this is Lucas at 23 weeks &2days-Sept. 26, 2013)

So excited just saying his name now vs babyboy! :P

Can't wait till he gets here with us, he's already loved so much. <3

Naming a 2nd baby was much harder than the 1st! Lol, had to not

only match it with our last name and our names

but his big brother's name!

But think we finally found the perfect one. :)

Just now for the fun of it looked up what his name means this is what I found..

Lucas = Light of God-Bringer of Light

Robert(after his great great Grandpa, my Papa :)) = Bright-Famed-Famous

I don't look too much into name meanings heck mine means Little King.. :/

But here's to my little man..

<3 <3 <3

Family Time

This is gonna be mostly a picture post from our day at the park. :))

Jon &I got our hair cuts and we decided it was so pretty out we

just had to take little man to the park for some family time. <3

Yes alot of them are in B&W, obviously my favorite

setting on my lovely camera.. <3

 1st pic I finally caught of him in his Texans shirt

from his Mimi :D

 Hanging out on the porch @the hair cutter's.
