My couch buddy Dinah. Last night Chris and I were sooooo tired from the busy weekend so we just lounged around and watched TV instead of doing chores. Dinah decided she would do the same while lying on my feet. She's such a sweetie, a little annoying, but I still love her.

Setting up at the new spot for my chruch's west campus, Jacob had so much fun playing with the other kids.
Mar19
Driving to dinner, I can't remember where we went. I promise I was safe and didnt even look at my phone!
Mar17
Doing some research for our trip to Ireland. We aren't going till Jan 2012 (our 5 yr anniv) but I got curious and it just so happened to be on St. Patty's day!
Mar14
Sunday night, eating out with friends. I love how Jacob is just sitting there listening to his uncle Nathan talk.
Mar13
Ok Im way behind so I am just going to write what the pic is and not go into detail. I think this pic speaks for itself! They are both great!

Our Friday night tradition...going out to eat with Aunt Hannah! We went to Chili's. Jacob is so great in resturants and now eats kids meal at most places (he started refusing babyfood at 9.5 months!). He loves to flirt with all the women and loves to watch other kids running around. Most people are shocked at how good he is. I take no credit for this, he just loves to socialize!

Last night I was cooking at home so Chris decided to play with Jacob in our "corral" in the den area. I loved being able to watch them play while I cooked. Jacob got this piggy bank for Christmas from his uncle Carl and somehow it has ended up in the toy box. Jacob kept crawling around with it's ears in his mouth. FYI, the Fetticine Alfredo recipe from WW is awesome!
Mar10
Hehehe this is my chunky man. We were at my work, buying supplies at SAM'S and we bought pizza and ate at work. We didn't have a highchair so we had to use Jacob's old Bumbo and he was not happy about it. Why is he shirtless? Because he had ravioli and made a huge mess! So this is while I was cleaning him up, another thing he hates, and he gave me this look. I think we need to buy another travel highchair to keep in the car just in case.
Mar09
Yummy Flautas (yep, WW recipe) and Spanish Rice that my hubby and I made from scratch, w/o a recipe. This was our date night, we ate in and watched 2012. Good movie and good night!

Ok, not going to write much because I am about to go on a date with my hubby. Last night we were at my grandmother's and I was cooking sweet and sour pork (it was very yummy btw) and this was my view. My awesome hubby and my sweet little boy playing at my grandmother's feet...life couldn't be better! Oh and of course we were watching The Bachelor:Molly and Jason Get Married.
Mar07
Oops caught me driving and taking a pic! In my defense though, I didnt even look at my phone. Just held it up and hit the button. And no, this is not my car. It is my grandmother's car. Sunday morning, as we were walking to our car to go to church, we noticed that someone smashed in our window of our Jeep! I was so upset! Earlier this year someone bashed in our front door and now someone broke into our car. I just wanted to stand there and cry, this is supposed to be our home, where we feel safe! I can't wait to move this summer. We just want to get out of there so bad. Ugh and they stole our GPS which was a replacement for our other GPS that was stolen! Grrrr! So back to the pic, we were driving home from Baytown. We went to Baytown to celebrate Chris' grandmother's birthday. She is an awesome woman. I have to say, I was scared to meet my hubby's family when we were dating because you always hear horror stories about in-laws. But I don't have to worry about that with this family! They are all sooooo loving and kind. I am blessed to be apart of it. What are some of your blessings?

My little jumper! Saturday night while we were eating, Jacob would not leave us alone. He wanted to eat our food, even though he had already eaten, and he wanted to climb on the tv trays (yes we are bad and eat in front of the tv...for now anyways). We put him in the jumperoo, which he rarely goes in anymore, and he loved it! He thinks its so funny when someone is sitting next to him and watches him jump. I think he is too big for it now, but we have hesitated putting it away because it helps us if we need to run to the next room and keep him entertained at the same time.
Mar05
Hannah actually took this pic. We were leaving my parent's house to go eat sushi (have you noticed yet that we eat pretty late?) and I couldn't get a good pic of anything around. So Hannah took out her phone to get some light and got this cool pic of Jacob trying to grab her phone. I like this pic because it looks like 3D ultrasound photo. Kind of makes me sad because my little baby is growing up. A year ago I was getting my last ultrasounds to see how big he was and I remember how awesome it was to see his face and his little fingers. Can you remember what was happening a year ago?

My sweet Ruthie. We got Ruth about 2 years ago when she was like 4 weeks old. She has been my baby since. She likes to sleep on my head and at night she forces me to love on her. Chris and I made the choice to find her and her boyfriend Titus a new home about a month ago because our plate is just too full. Im struggling with this. I have to say, these two cats are pains. They like to knock stuff off of tables for fun, they can make a room look like a hurricane came through it in 2 seconds flat when they are playing, and they shed like crazy. But I love them. They are the sweetest cats in the world. They never scratch us or bite. They let us do whatever we want to them and they are good with Jacob. I just can't wait till we have a bigger house and an actual backyard so we can let them be outdoor/indoor cats. Oh well, knowing us we will just give in and keep them...unless ofcourse an awesome couple comes along and gives them a better home. We are such animal lovers that we would keep every animal we saw if we had the land to hold them all. Already we have 2 cats, 2 dogs and a turtle (see sweetie, I remembered the turtle). Oh and don't forget the baby who is threatening to walk any day now ;). Do you have any pets?

Another good pic of my little man! Last night, Jacob kept choosing his Dynamo soccer ball over all his other toys. I can't wait till he can fully comprehend the joy of soccer. In October we are going to sign him up for www.soccertotshouston.com which is a program that starts at 18 months. I can't wait!! According to their website, the class is a 50 minute class that uses props and songs to teach motor skills and engage them in participation activities. Oh and the best part...Chris and I get to participate with him! I think this will be such a great activity for our family to do together. And, of course its centered around soccer which is great! Last night I was so proud of Jacob for playing "soccer" (crawling while "kicking" the ball with his hands) around the house. For those that are starting to think that we are brainwashing our kid into loveing soccer, I say, heck yes we are and me are proud of it! ;) So, did you play a sport as a kid? If so, what sport did you play?

Tuesdays are our date nights. My awesome sister offered (before Jacob was even born) to take Jacob every Tuesday night so that we could have some adult time. This Tuesday we were a little short on cash so we decided to stay home and rent a pay-per-view movie. Of course our cable decided not to work so Chris had to leave and go get a RedBox movie while I finished cooking. I made an awesome macaroni and cheese casserole, another recipe from Weight Watchers. At 7:50 Chris came in with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It was such a cute movie! Our favorite part was Steve, Flint's best friend who also happened to be a monkey. After we finished our movie we drove to my grandmother's house to pick up Jacob (Tuesdays are Hannah's nights with her) and he was konked out, paci free. He stayed asleep when we got home and slept the whole night paci free, though he did wake up because of his teeth. Today he was without the paci because we can't seem to find them. I think they all disappeared under the crib. Do you have any weekly or monthly rituals? If so, what are they?

This is a pic of garlic simmering in chicken broth. Every Monday we have dinner with my grandmother. Last night I was making Lemon Chicken with Broccoli over angel hair pasta, a recipe from Weight Watchers. It came out great! While cooking we watched The Bachelor and the very disappointing decision that Jake made. Ugh, Vienna?!?! Really?? She seemed really fake during the show but I do have to admit that in the after show he seemed to genuinely love her and she didn't seem as bad. Tenley would have been better but oh well. Im also excited about Ali being the next Bachelorette. Yes its a sleazy show but I just can't stop watching it! What show do you watch that you are slightly embarrassed to admit?

This is my little man. Last night we were playing while Chris was making spaghetti. Jacob had a rough day yesturday because one of his molar are coming through! Poor little guy. This pic was after the tylenol kicked in and he was crawling around with a teething toy in his mouth. Ugh, teething stinks!
Feb27
Ok so Im going to be in trouble for this one but its not my fault. When my alarm went off, we were dropping Hannah off at her house before our date and she was not in a good mood. Well as I was saying goodbye, my phone went off telling me that it was time for my nightly pic. I tried to get her to smile and this is what I got. The pic does not show Hannah's true beauty at all. Hannah is such a beautiful person inside and out! She is my best friend and an awesome aunt. Seriously Jacob is so excited to see her because she is so much fun. I cannot begin to imagine a life without her and our Friday night eating out ritual ;).
Feb26
Yep Babies R Us. We go here a lot and I love it. I say it a lot, I love this place! I Know some people don't like it, but nope not me. I am a sucker for baby stuff. I am lucky if I leave this store with less than $100 worth of stuff and the crazy thing is that I use all of it. Its not just useless junk that I throw in a closet or draw, its stuff that makes my everyday life easier or clothes my beautiful baby boy. This particular trip was for a baby "corral" for my parents' house and for a carseat for Linda/Hannah's car. Instead, I got all these items plus Jacob's birthday outfit and some babyproofing stuff. Im not allowed to go here for another month!
Feb25
This pic is of the Olive Garden in front of Baybrook Mall. Last Thursday Chris, Jacob and I went were treated to dinner by an awesome couple at our church, Nicole and Davin. We were there to talk about more opportunities for Chris in the elementary ministry at CCCC. We also talked about getting on mission and what that meant. Nicole and Davin are such a great couple and are great role models for a loving Christian family. It was such an honor to eat and talk with them. Jacob love it too. He made a mess like usual eating chicken, broccoli and noodles with tomato sauce. He also made a lot of people smile and flirted with all the ladies as we passed by the tables. So, here is my first pic, how did I do?
7:50
Ok so I am stealing this from a friend's facebook friend (did that make sense?). I am going to take a picture every night at 7:50pm. I have my iPhone set to remind me at 7:50 everynight and then I will take a pic of what is in front of me. Some days it may be from my phone, others it will be from my other camera. I will then come on the next day and explain my pic and probably give a story of what I did for the day. I was going to wait until March 1st to start taking the pics but decided to start "practicing" to see if I would actually remember to take a pic everyday. Pics to follow (I am still trying to figure out how to upload pics!)
