Last Week in November

We had a visit from my sorority sister and her two children.

They brought these awesome gifts.

I went shopping and got all these clothes for under $30!!!

4 shirts

4 pair of pants

I have tons of shirts, but only a few pants.

We got 2 new guinea pigs.

CJ loves them!

I reversed my phone so we were looking at ourselves!

You must look closely see his long hair in the back.

I am getting ready for some football, Go Cowboys!!!!!!

Thanks to Eva for the clothes :}

Exploring job opportunities at the tire shop while we get 4 new tires on the truck (ouch)

Credit card was expired... lol they were a little mad, but what was I to do?!?!?!?

Oh well, go to school to get a card from my mom.

Took a long time because all the teachers needed to meet you! 

I love love this outfit of course.  It is from my cousin Faith.

The book is so cute- I turned to the page that said

 "Giving a bottle, is like outsourcing"

I had to chuckle a little :}

This is what my night/day looks like to feed the baby.

I am really trying to get a better schedule, like going to bed at 8.

I don't want to wake up my DH before he has to actually get up.

So if I get up at 5, I can be back in bed and asleep before he has to get up for school.

Although one day last week, I slept for 5 straight hours 

(this was before I had to feed the baby every 3 hours)

I turned over in bed and noticed DH was gone- I looked at the clock and it said 7 am, 

I couldn't understand why he was up, I sent him a text asking if he was okay,

told me that he had to fix his hair-

I still didn't understand why he was up so early fixing his hair on

a Saturday, then I realized that it was a weekday lol

The shirt came from my Godmother, Jennifer.

I have a chick on my arm and I can curl a cow with my left arm.

Here are some freebies that I have gotten recently.

The bottle is HUGE!

We used it and it seems that a lot of formula comes out the side of P's mouth. :(

4 packets of wipes

Nectresse- is a sugar sweetener

Airbone- 4 little samples

Big Hunk- it is like nougat taffy

turkey jerky- not a fan of that at all 

Pedia-lax- it is a pro biotic

dove- deodorant great for traveling... well guess I will save that for a while lol

Getting ready for Thanksgiving

We are thankful for Tank being Peyton's protector.

Thankful for a co-worker Sarah, for the brand new clothes she gave us.

AND for all of these clothes!!!!!!! 

Look closer, she even gave us Baby Shox (one of Randy's favorite shoes)

I feel a scrapbook page coming on! 

Here is CJ- wondering why she thinks this is comfy???

Randy put on his hat, then later, much later discovered an added bonus inside lol

Smooshed in his swing.

Peyton and his protector, Tank.

We had a huge scare last week with Tank.

We really didn't think that he would make it through the night.

Peyton and I slept downstairs with Tank just to make sure. 

We took Tank into the vet, but he was already acting 100 times better than the night before.

Tank is 10 and a half years old.

We think it had to do with the drastic change in the weather- change in 30+ degrees.

Next week, stay tuned for our Thanksgiving outfits :}

November 14th- no clever title

Froggy outfit and froggy blanket

 I love this photo- with his one hand up like

"Listen up here fools"

First bath at home:

 Yep, talk to the hand!

Gifts from Randy's school:

Me and baby :}

Thanks to my Godmother for my Muppets jammies.

I've had one h*ll of a day!  lol

Hummmmm........  let me think about that for a while.

October photos

Our adventure home-

Tank is meeting Peyton for the first time.

 Meeting CJ for the first time.

As much as things change, they also stay the same.

It is Tank on the couch behind the baby.

Zonked!

Tank is checking on Peyton.

I think this is hilarious... the look on Peyton's face is priceless!!

I am wondering how he fit in me, being 21 inches and all, 

I am shocked!

A present from my Godparents.

Happy Halloween from our pumpkin to yours!

More Halloween photos to follow :}

Bags are packed and in my truck- I hope to remember to bring my pillow and heating pad.... 

Shopping at home

So in case you have joined my life more recently, you might not know that I have wanted to be a mom forever.  I went to my mom's house to see if there were any baby related things there, namely the very first baby related item DH ever bought me- it was a frog carseat cover.  I had him search our own home first with no luck.  So I headed over to my mother's house.  Well there I found two huge boxes, over 3 feet tall, full of baby items.  I even found a receipt from 1994!!!!!  Everything that was in those boxes were still in the box!!!

Thankfully I did find the frog carseat cover, but I brought home some other treasures as well.


I found a calendar for McBaby's first year.  I am not sure that the stickers will still stick, but I'll glue them on if all else fails!  It doesn't have months or numbers on each of the pages just empty boxes.

A photo frame that says I get my good looks from my mommy!

Two stuffed animals, a fitted sheet, a abc blanket, some sort of toy, a huge container with toiletries, and a bath bag with frogs- inside there was a towel, washcloth, toy and a finger puppet. :}
