Just a little note to let you know that I am still alive, I’m just enjoying a little break from work & pretty much everything!

I will be back with Christmas pictures!!!

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful holiday!!

See this precious boy…

He is quickly turning in to a 2-year old BOY – ALL boy!

First of all, last night the most dreaded thing happened…. I’ve been lucky that it hasn’t happened before now…. HE POOPED IN THE BATHTUB. It was totally more disgusting than I imagined it would be. SERIOUSLY. I did not do well with that. It’s one thing to change a diaper, but to fish it out of a tub full of water….YUCK, YUCK, YUCK… Ok, I need to move on!!!

Today, Jaxon locked Joey in the laundry room! I was at work, so Jax was in the house all by himself. At first he thought it was funny, but when daddy was trying to break in the back door, it freaked him out a little.

Just a little while after the laundry room incident, I was on the phone with Joey and he started yelling for Jaxon to stop, then we got disconnected! Joey soon called me back to tell me that they had just come in from outside before I called, so the door wasn’t locked & Jaxon was halfway down the sidewalk!!!!!!

I think we need to re-evaluate our safety precautions!!!

We’ve only changed a little in eight years!!


Happy Anniversary Joey – I love you so much!!!

I have had so many things to write about lately, but so little time! What’s new??
We’ve just completed the great christmas card saga of 2006! I tried for about a week to capture the perfect picture. At first I wanted a family picture, but then I was willing to settle for one of my beautiful Jax. Oh but no, that’s just too much to ask! It was IMPOSSIBLE!!! So, I finally come up with a plan. I get the cards made and in the cart online. My estimated receive date was 12*23, so I quickly changed the cards from Christmas cards to New Year’s cards! Well, guess what we got in the mail this past Saturday (12*16) – the cards!!! At least now I have a full week to get them addressed, stamped, and in the mail!! So, if you’re expecting a card from us…look for it AFTER Christmas!
Here are some of the out-takes from Jax’s photo shoot!

Last week we had both Joey’s work Christmas dinner & my work Christmas party, they were both oh-so-exciting!

I am feeling overwhelmed with things to do in the next week. Tonight I was able to cross a few things off the list. Jaxon now has little goodie bags for his friends at Mrs. Ruthann’s house. We also made our christmas cookies tonight!! As you can tell, it was quite messy fun!







When Jaxon went to bed I finished all 50 cookies.

Honestly, I really hate making cookies…but that’s just between you & me!!

My sister will be here in 5 days!!! WOOO HOOOOO!!!!! 9 months with no sister close by is WAY TOO LONG! She will only be here for 5 days…..

I just realized that it is past midnight. This is not going to make me happy in the morning!! I will have more to post tomorrow – tomorrow is our anniversary!!!!!

That was fun! I have been sick since Tuesday afternoon. I am finally feeling better, thank goodness!! I was able to get some MUCH needed rest today. I slept 5 1/2 hours!

I hope everyone is having a good week!

E! Entertainment was on in the background…Please ignore!

The weekend before Thanksgiving I had the opportunity to go to Dallas to see The Radio City Rockettes!! I went with my parents, my Grandmother & my Aunt. Since I was little I’ve been mesmerized by the rockettes! It was so cool to see them in person!

Chirstmas is in full force around here!

(this was before the ribbon was on the tree – it looks better now!)

The tree is lit, the stockings are hung and there are gifts to be wrapped! Jaxon is really getting into it! Yesterday we went to Hobby Lobby & every Santa he saw he said “O,O,O”, except for the life size santa figure…he didn’t like him at all. He is in awe of all the christmas lights around town.
The beauty of this year is that we can buy gifts for Jaxon when he is with us! I know next year it will be a different story!
The most exciting part of Christmas this year is that my sister is coming from LA. We haven’t seen her since March…. She will be here on Christmas eve! Let the countdown begin!!!!!
