End of Spring Break

Today is a sad day for two reasons. My grandpa would be 86 years old today. I miss him so much. I still can't believe he isn't with us on earth any longer. Happy Birthday Pops! I love you! The 2nd reason is I have to go back to work tomorrow. BOOO HOOO!!!

We did have an amazing week. Friday I went to eat at Iguana Grill on Lake Travis to celebrate my best friend, Ashley's birthday! Love her to pieces! We also had some really good friends come and stay the weekend with us. Thank you Courtney, Travis and sweet Sutton for coming to visit. :)
Here is a picture of our little boys on the way home from dinner last night
There


On the way home - they have iPhones in their hands! Ha!


I'll post more on our weekend later...
I've got to go dry my tears before tomorrow. I'm going to miss being with Chance all day!

Happy 26 months!

My baby, I mean little boy is 26 months old today!




I've started a little project. Of course from Pinterest. I've always wanted a wall of canvas pictures but to have them made is so expensive. Here are a few of them


I love how they look. Just dont look too close! Ha

Happy Birthday Kyle!

 Happy Birthday Kyle!  Hope you have a great day.

 I am about to go have a girls day with my mom and sister.  We are going to do a little shopping and then meeting the guys for dinner later at Pappadeaux to celebrate Kyle's birthday.  Yummo! 

 I sure have enjoyed this Spring Break.  This little guy is the light of my life.  He brings our family so much happiness.  What did we do before we had him?  After this week, I have found that I could totally be a stay at home mom (not that I had any doubts).  I am just saying.  Doug...if you are reading this.  I could totally handle it! ha!

 Happy Thursday!

Spring Break 2012

Today we went to the San Antonio Zoo.  Two words for the visit -  Never. Again. 
Even though Chance enjoyed himself and was such a good little boy we will never go again.  First off, it was sooooo overly crowded.  Walked a mile to the zoo after we finally found a parking spot that I knew we would be towed (luckily we werent), stood in a very long line to just get tickets, and it was butt to butt, cheek to cheek in the zoo.  Stroller to stroller...most of the animals were under the shade out of sight.  However, we found a way to make it fun for Chance.  We saw many interesting people and heard many disturbing conversations with parents and their children...it was an all around eye opener kind of day.  I am so thankful for my family and what we have together.  (This is a post in itself about what I witnessed and saw today at this zoo.  It was called a ZOO for many reasons to put it mildly.)

After the zoo we went on a train ride (well Doug and Chance did as I guarded our stroller).  Chance had a blast.  We headed to Chuy's for a big ole glass of tea and dinner and now home for baths and rest. 

Now to the pictures...

 The only time he rode in the stroller! ha!

 This kid is obsessed with his hats now...we are going to get some new ones tomorrow. :)

 Pointing at the elephants!

 We thought it was so funny...he kept rubbing Doug's head.  ha!

 Alligator!!

 Check out his face...he was not wanting to take a picture with me.

Chance was screaming really loud "cheeseeeeeee" for the guy taking the picture to hurry up.  This is the look we got!

All smiles here.

We are loving our Spring Break!!  Tomorrow is a mommy/son day!

Wisdom Teeth

Yesterday I started my Spring Break by having my wisdom teeth pulled.



These were a few pics I took of me and my bundle of joy before my mom picked us up to go to the dr office.


My appt was at 2 so I worked half a day but the hardest part is I couldn't have anything to eat or drink after 8 am. I was so thirsty of course along with my nerves of being put to sleep.



I cried all week worrying about this procedure and a few other things that we were dealing with but we got good news on that (right mom!!) I was/had this insane fear of being put to sleep and not waking up and then my baby would be without his mommy. I made it and now resting and recovery pretty good. Just really sore. Chance will kiss my cheeks and say "momma has Boo boo's" he is the sweetest thing! He was so good for his Nana while I was in surgery. (Doug was at a baseball game and their bus broke down). Thank you mom for making me soup and getting me back home and taking care of Chance. Now Doug has been able to help due to all games being rained out!



These were some pics on my phone. This one is us driving to Nana's and work. He is smiling so big in the back. Please excuse my pasty whiteness! Time for the spray tanner!!

This is how obsessed my son is with my feet. He loves them. It's cute and borderline weird. Ha!


Chance taking or should I say faking a nap in Stella's dog bed!

Awe Man

Chance's favorite thing he says is "Awe Man".  He says this phrase many times through out the day.  I think he said it twenty billion times in the bath tonight as he was playing with his toys.  He cracks me up.  Love this sweet boy so much!

This is his master piece.  He said it was Boddie and Zoe.  :)

 Not sure why these are so blurry.  Just some cute pictures of my 25 month old who is growing WAY TOO FAST!  He is talking more and more.  He knows ALL of his colors.  He is super stubborn with his numbers.  He will count 1, 2...then stop.  The math teacher in me wants him to love numbers and math! :) 
A few other common phrases that he says a lot is "thank you momma" (or thank you to Nana or Daddy) and he has recently started saying "sorry momma"  For instance this morning as we were leaving for work and Nana's: I had a brand new top on that I felt is super cute and spent a pretty penny on, 2 of the buttons came off as I was carrying Chance.  He looks at them in disgust just as I was and says "oh sorry momma"  I said "baby it isnt your fault at all"  But it was such a cute moment and frustrating moment (for me) because why in the world did they come off!!!  Then this afternoon I realize the top has a hole under the arm!  Wow.  Not a happy camper. 

Going to dance with Chance...night night.

Heaven Gained an Angel

One week ago yesterday we said goodbye to my Pops (my grandpa).  However, he went to be with Jesus last Wednesday and heaven received an angel.  He is walking again, pain free, rejoicing with my Ma-Ma and Uncle Tommy. 
This pictures were at Christmas. 

 I love you Pops with all my heart. I will miss your smile so much!

He is so missed.  I cant stop replaying the last two weeks in my head, I cant stop thinking about the phone call from my mom Wednesday night - her telling me he is gone.  My grandpa was doing better.  They had moved him from ICU where he was recovering slowly...but recovering.  There is so much to the story that I just cant find myself to write it all down.  It's in my head...over and over and over...As a Christian I know I am not to place the blame and hold so much resentment - yet I am human.  But I am so mad.  Bitter.  Frustrated.  We put our faith and trust in the doctors who watch over us when we are sick, yet...they failed at my grandfather's situation.  He had been through so much.  His little body was so weak and fragile.  His heart stopped beating Wednesday night and he went to a better place leaving us on earth with broken hearts and spirits.  He truly was an amazing man.  The best Pops we could ask for.  I think about him all the time.  We went and saw him the Sunday before his passing.  As we were leaving he and Chance blew kisses to each other and that is something I will forever hold in my heart.  The sweetest moment.  I pray that God will give my family peace during this hard time. 
Doug spoke at the funeral.  It was very special and he said things about my grandpa that we all wanted to say but couldnt.  Chance was so sick during all this.  Running 103 fever, cough, not sleeping, runny nose, only wanting his Mommy...It was really hard.  He is feeling so much better now!! 
I have pictures from before the funeral service but my computer is not letting me save them. :(

We have been without internet all week.  Doug has been on the phone with them for over 2 hours today and we finally have it but our computer needs major TLC before I can really upload pictures.  I will have to upload them later from my phone. 

Dreading work tomorrow...I bought the book Every Day is a Friday by Joel Osteen.  I have read the 1st chapter.  I am not a reader.  But it is a good book.  So good I havent read anymore.  ha!  No it really is good...only time to read is when Chance goes to bed and at that time I read my Bible and catch up on my shows I have taped and/or SLEEP.  Anyways, the book is about not dreading Monday's.  To treat everyday like a Friday.  Living with no regret...I am sorry but I dread tomorrow.  I want to stay home with my baby (who isnt a baby anymore).  I am grateful I have a job though.  :)
