Oh hey, Friday! Snow Day

March 6, 2015

 Linking up today with September Farm

Oh yay! Friday! This week has had its ups and downs.  The snow day was a plus, but we just can’t seem to get healthy around here! Every time we get over something, one of us seems to catch something else! On tap for today…making a Dr appointment for our little peanut! Mommy needs to go too, but I’m going to stick it out until Monday so I can take Hallie! Luckily this weekend is full of time to relax!

For our Pics from the week: Snow Day Pics:

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
Stay tuned next week for a review of one of my favorite Etsy shops! There will be a great deal for my readers!!

Sock attack and Snow

March 5, 2015

Oh what a strange title…and oh yes, what a strange child! She must get it from her Dad…(Love you Honey!)

Last night we were watching American Idol, and after Hallie clapped for the first time EVER! Daddy had to take a phone call! So, what did Hallie fill her time doing…

She is just too much! I had to grab my phone immediately (excuse the video quality) and document the last minute of this 5 minute war against her sock! I think she won! There is some definite teething going on folks!!

Other exciting new from last night…SNOW! Real powdery snow! At least an inch of that stuff! Schools are canceled today and I fully intend to bundle Hallie up later to take some pictures in it, so stay tuned!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their week!

Houston Friends

March 3, 2015

Over the weekend Hallie, her Tia Joyce (AKA my best friend) and Mommy piled in the car and took a much needed trip to the Galveston area to visit our GREAT friends, the Donahoes! Callie, Joyce and I all went to high school together, and it is so amazing to me after 10 years we have stayed such close friends! (Yes, I know I am officially old! 10 years since High School….GASP!) 

Callie and her family just built a new house, and we hadn’t seen it yet, so it was such a fun trip! 
When we got their Friday afternoon, the kiddos played!! 

Aiden and Hallie (Aiden was my ring bearer when I got married) 

Isn’t Callie just the cutest! Joyce and I each got a treat on our beds!
Hallie became fast friends with Chloe…I think she missed Stella!
Easton and Hallie
The best picture I could get of all 3 kiddos! 
Then we had a dance party! Happy and I’m Elmo and I know it (If you haven’t seen this Elmo video you MUST watch it, so funny!) 
Easton Especially loved Elmo!

Sweet Aiden couldn’t get enough hugs from Miss Hallie! 

After dinner and putting (most of ) the kids to bed, the Girls headed to Seabrook Waffle Co, 

I got the “Dough Eyed” Nutella, icecream, and chocolate chips…so good!

The next morning we went to Aiden’s Basketball game!

Naturally they won! Something about extra cheerleaders I guess! 
After the game, Cash (Callie’s husband), Tia Joyce and Aiden practiced their skills!
Best Tia in the world! 

 After the game, we headed back to the house for some playtime 

Hallie still obsessed with Chloe

 After naps and Lunch we went Strawberry picking at a local farm! It looked fun, but since it was a bit chilly, Hallie and I let everyone else do the work and we stayed inside where it was warm after snapping a few pictures! (Bad Mom award…I totally forgot little Miss’s hat!) 

Oh Easton, could you be any cuter?

 When we got home, the kids played while Mr Cash grilled up some burgers!

And of course there was another Dance Party! 

 After dinner, the kiddos went to bed and we enjoyed some grown up conversation and of course our favorite Teen show…PLL! Of course! 

For breakfast, Callie and Cash made pancakes! Aiden enjoyed the fruits of his labor on his (See what I did there!?) 

 After breakfast the kiddos played for a while

Excuse my icky hair….but I needed a picture with all of the cute kiddos!

Before long it was time to say goodbye to the Donahoes because they had Church

Hallie got some last minute Chloe snuggles
I left a funny inside joke for Callie to discover the next time she bathed the kiddos!
Then we headed home…
Not before stopping and having lunch with Hallie’s amazing Memi!

Hope everyone else had a great weekend!

It finally did snow for like 5 minutes, so I bundled up Hallie and took her out to see it!
She was a lot Happier inside though!

Pics from my phone

February 26, 2015

Like I said yesterday,  we haven’t gotten out much in the last few days! Which also means there’s not a whole lot for me to write about! So for today,  I hope you enjoy pictures from my phone!

Have a great Thursday!

Snowed…er iced in!

February 25, 2015

We have been iced in here in Dallas the last few days! Yes, here in Dallas we don’t get snow…just big sheets of black ice that make it unsafe to travel because we are Texans who have no idea how to travel in 1 inch of ice, so schools shut down and everyone hunkers down for days until there is no trace of it!
So Hallie and I have been cooped up all day for the last 2 days! (Daddy still had to work!)
 Here is what we have been doing:

On Sunday, we knew the weather was coming so we prepared! Hallie and I played while Daddy was kind enough to make our favorite cold weather meal:

 Tortilla Soup! Check out the recipe here!
Don’t be fooled friends…that is all ice!
 Hallie and I have spent the last 2 days in PJs! Day One!
Day 2! Hallie had a bath Monday night and got in new PJs, which we stayed in all day yesterday!

That’s what snow ice days are for, right?!

Last night the roads were cleared up a little and when Christopher got home from work he treated us to dinner since we had been cooped up for so long! I think Hallie missed being out because she was babbling and talking to everyone who walked by! 
Unfortunately more sleet fell overnight, so we are stuck in again today.  Trying to figure out what to do to make it fun! Any ideas Mommas? 
Hope everyone is having a more exciting week than us!! 
Take care!

8 Months of Hallie Anne

February 24, 2015

8 months!? Before I know it this kid is going to be learning to drive and then graduating! I love my sweet girl though! She may be teeny, but she is still getting so big in my eyes! 

  • Age- 8 months! (Seriously…getting too too close to one for Mommy’s liking!)
  • Weight-  We were excused from a weight check this month, but I would guess about 13.5 lbs
  • Length- Long and skinny still! No check up this month.  
  • Size- Size 1 Diapers! Onesies- 3 month or 3-6 Months Ts!  Pants- the waist on the 3-6 month are too big, but the length on the 3’s are too small…LIMBO!  PJs 6 month for length..though they are still big and when she crawls in them, sometimes she get’s the “Mermaid Tail” 
  • Eyes- Still blue! Yay!!! 
  • Hair- Getting longer and lighter each month! 
  • Sleeping- Usually 10-12 hours.  She has been waking up once in the night scared and doesn’t like being alone, but will normally go back to sleep…most nights! 2-3 naps a day.
  • Eating- 26 oz a day. And anything else she can get her hands on! She wants EVERYTHING mommy eats! Loves yogurt, pasta, bread, rice, chicken, veggies, avocado, turkey, berries and puffs!
  • Milestones- Crawling and pulling up on EVERYTHING! She can even walk holding on.  Loves singing and dancing. Still no teeth! 
  • Words she can say: Hi, Hey, Mama, Dada, Bye Bye and “Ey-ya”- Which means “Stella” because she will shout it at the dog!
  •  Memorable outings- Playgroup, Valentines Party and Luna’s first birthday! 
  • Favorite toys/activities- Prayer Bunny Still loves her turtle which we have named Dewy, Taggie elephant and princess dolly.  Also: Puppets and loves books! A girl after my own heart! We read before bed every night! She got a Children’s Bible for her Baptism, and we always do that before bed with a prayer. Also loves the rhymes we do at story time! Particularly (Tick Tock,Horse named Ron and Patty Cake!) Loves to play with Stella.  DANCING! She loves to shake it! Especially with Daddy! She also really enjoys listening to music. WALKING with help! Seriously it makes her sooo happy! Loves dressing up! Beads and shoes! She is SUCH a social butterfly and loves to play with her friends! 
  • Nicknames- I call her sweet pea, peanut, peanut butter, sweet girl or Hal…Daddy likes to call her Daniel son when I put headbands on her…but other than that sticks to a generic sweetie or cutie!
  • Funny moments- When I am eating, she like to open her mouth and get close to mine…I guess she thinks I am going to “baby bird” her the food…lol not happening! 
  • Looking forward to- Each minute with her! She is growing up WAY too fast! Trip to Houston to visit Auntie Callie and her boys!

Tutu Cute

February 19, 2015

I LOVE when I catch Hallie doing things that resemble ballet! It makes my retired dancer heart so happy, that maybe one day she will follow in my footsteps! I will always tell her “Good job baby, first position” or “Yes that’s a tendu”. Yes, I know that’s not what she is actually doing, but, reinforcement goes a long way! Ha!

Yesterday it was perfect! I had her in a tutu and her cute Rose Gold Freshly Picked Moccs that kind of look like ballet slippers (aka the reason I chose them) and that kid was a little ballerina!

She always pulls up on the closest thing she can find, but yesterday it was too tutu cute! She started pointing her little toes! I was one proud momma!

That little Tutu Tushy just kills me!
