I’m getting a sister :)

Congratulations to my favorite Brother in law on his engagement to my soon to be favorite sister in law 🙂 We are so happy for you guys!!!!

I heard this (the blogger privacy thing) from a friend of mine that uses blogger….he didn’t know when it was taking place but sometime soon.

If you wish to continue subscribing to my blog….please read!!!!

Blogger is doing new things. They are updating to a new version soon which will allow me to limit the number of users who can view this site. The way it will work is that I will enter the e-mail addresses of everyone who wants to be able to read my site and you will be sent an e-mail inviting them to read my blog. If you already have a blogger account, this will be a one-time thing. If you don’t have a blogger account, you will be invited to A) create one or B) view as a guest. If you view as a guest, you will only be able to view for 2 weeks and then your invitation will expire. This will make me feel better about posting so many pictures. It is not happening just yet, but will happen soon.

So…if you wish to remain a reader…contact me through my profile…then through my email or my AIM…or for those that talk to me regularly…by that method is just fine 🙂

Race for the Cure Houston Style

Good morning!! It’s finally Friday!!! Whoohooo!!! Gotta love Friday’s. So last night we sent Hayden to the grandparents for a sleepover and we went to have date night…I made dinner and then we went and saw Miami Vice…pretty intense movie…a little confusing and the sex scenes were totally unnecessary. I felt like I had to keep my head down for an eternity. Anyway, I wanted to see You, me and Dupree, but I got outvoted since I am having girls night tonight. Ah…the sacrifices 🙂

So, if you didn’t notice I added a new header/logo under my ticker, it is for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, which I have participated in before and would have again last year, but I certain very large belly prohibited me from it. So this year we are at it again and looking for lots of team members and supporters. If you want to fill any of these roles please check out our team site by clicking the banner up top and join up or pledge your support!! This is a cause that I feel connected to due to the many women that it has affected in my family. Hopefully the research will lead to a cure that could possibly lengthen my life one day.

To tell you the truth the race is so much fun. Yes, it is really early in the morning, but there are so many people…we are talking like a million or more racers!! that doesn’t include all the supporters that come out for the race that day. It is a blast!! So come on and join me and my pals as we Race for the Cure 🙂

Happy 10 months to you my baby!!

Hayden, Mommy and Daddy love you so much and can’t believe what a big girl you are!! You constantly amaze us, thrill us and keep us laughing 🙂 We love you so much !!!

I can’t believe we are closing in on a year already. Last night I dreamed that I had another baby and I woke up thinking “No, I’m not ready yet!!” lol! We have birthday plans underway and are just trying to keep up with our little motor boat here. She took three steps last night and I know walking is just weeks if not days away!! Hayden has 6 teeth now and eats everything in site, including, kibble, paper, and pretty much anything on the ground!! Makes for a clean clean home!!

Her words are “Da da, Mama, Nigh nigh (meaning bottle and bed), dis (this), See, Daw (dog), Duh (duck), Hey.

We are getting ready to finally do some more professional pics. I’ve been so bad…at least i take a zillion of my own pics, but no professional ones since she was three weeks 😦

Just a little update for all ya’ll 🙂

Way to Go DEBO ;)

Pasta legs. Kinked Back. Headache. Tired eyes. Yes these are all words that describe me the last two days. Just plain pooped.

At my JOB we are fininshing up on some of our jobs and sending all the final paperwork into the attorneys and let me tell ya, this paperwork business is just exhausting. A zillion copies to be made that must first have the staples removed from them so they may be copied (front and back, I might add…on a one sided copy machine…), and then re-stapled post-copying. Then filed, in binders, labeled, etc…… Not tough stuff, but the volume….exausting. So anyway, I was at the point of, “how can I go on like this??” The rest at night didn’t seem to be the cure…there’s no time to just chill on the couch without moving like in the pre-Hayden days.

So when my good ole pal Deb called me up for a date night, I was enthused ,yet I had no idea how the night would be a success once I told my pasta legs to spring into action and move, past the “clock-out” bell’s ring. But I did… and it was just the cure I needed.

After a night of Berryhill and then on to Main Event for some rapid-fire basketball shooting, virtual reality roller coasters, air-hockey, the Elvis Presley coin push (which we each spent $10 on, trying to get the coin to fall at the right point that would push off a bunch of built up coins….yeah, as you can tell it didn’t really happen too fast for us) and finally the most hilarious bowling game ever. We were both so bad, that we just decided that we would try for the highest combined score every time 🙂 The people next to us even had pity on us and cheered for me one time when I got a spare. HA! Such fun times were had by all!

And today instead of feeling miserable-r…it seems that it was just what the ole tired body needed. Either that or my body knew it only had one more day to make it through before the weekend and then it is going to crater on me…bring your spatulas over tomorrow…we might need them to pry me out of the bed.

Now I have the temporary energy to deal with my almost 10 monther that is continually teething. We’ve had a couple of red-faced, writhing, screaming-crying days lately. It is NO BUENO for anyone involved, let me tell ya. And now that she is figuring out the whole pushing and tensing-up and attitude, it makes it even 10 times funner. ahhhh I can’t wait until all 32 teeth are in (it is 32 right?)6 down 26 to go. sheesh

Well I’m off to work!! I’ll let all you potential Hoobie-child buyers know when we finally have a litter.

Props to my pup

So Hayden usually gets all the glory on my blog but I have to say that I am a pretty proud pup owner 🙂 While we were in Acapulco, we boarded Hoobie and he was in training as well. He stayed for two weeks and I picked him up two days ago. He learned lots of things and now he sits, lays, stays and comes on command. Plus, he sleeps in his kennel at night now.

Now for some of you this is no big deal, but others know how Hoobie has been somewhat of a testing little guy. But I think we have turned a corner in his little life!! We are really excited and are now considering breeding him once we find an eligible female. So, if any of you know of any under 6lb. female yorkies…get in touch with me…we’d love to find Hoobie some lovin’. 🙂
