Jimmy Neutron hair- awesome.

If only my extra curricular reading went beyond the Twilight series. (yes it's that bad)
I wish I liked books as much as he does.

Aaron is greeted with open arms and open mouths every night.

He loves coming home;)

Please tell me how he does this and somehow clicks the send button.
For all of you that have received a text from our child- ha

Because I have to get veggies down Ryan someway or another.
Seriously works people. He's obsessed with my smoothies.

Aaron came home yesterday and we looked at the calendar.
2 months and 1 day until law school graduation.
But who's counting:)
We got pretty excited.
I am going to make a paper chain.

2 things.

#1. I told my husband I needed to run to the store and get more bobby pins.

His response was, "wait how come, they are all over the house."

Oh the married life and how he loves me ha.

Please tell me how I manage to go through a pack every few weeks.

#2. It's official. I am the St. Patricks Day grinch. I didn't even dress my child in green.

I did make us all have a bowl of lucky charms last night. That counts for festive right?

We have been back twice since the above episode.
If only we could all be this happy grocery shopping.

So my husband has been my trainer lately with weights.

He knows what he is doing ha so I tag along for his weight workouts.

Anyways, MONDAY is "leg day".

I DREADED It ALL day long yesterday and he knows how much I hate leg day,

so he sent me this email to give me motivation of people who have "skipped leg day for working out" hahaha

I was dying.

For those who want motivation to do squats or just want a good laugh- go HERE

Needless to say we did legs at 6:30 PM last night.

Happy Tuesday!

To the rodeo.

This weekend we went with my in-laws to the Houston Rodeo.

If you are ever in Houston, come stay with me and we will go.

I have been 3 times now since living here and

Seriously, it's amazing!

A good excuse to wear a hat and boots (still don't understand how my husband has lived in Texas his whole life and doesn't own a pair of cowboy boots) and eat a turkey leg.

I was in heaven.

Mostly because I got to hang out with these two.

3 things about this picture.

#1. Ryan's skinny jeans.

#2. #dadstatus / Gotta love the sipper cup and baby, food, and wipes falling out of the backpack.

#3. Ryan's first carnival game.

We let him play and Of course, our 18 month old child throws the ball into the winning hole on the first game of his life.

Pretty sure my husband was freaking out and Ryan had no idea what the heck just happened.

A few highlights were
Petting the animals,

Winning a big stuffed dog for Ryan,

And seeing pigs race.
Seriously, it is probably one of the funniest things you will ever see.
Of course, our pig we were rooting for is the one taking up the rear!
Little distracted getting out of the gate. It's ok buddy.

Turns out Ryan is scared to death of the carousel.

First time, and poor baby hated every minute of it.

Oh well. Aaron and I enjoyed it. ha

We may have to wait another year for Disneyworld, that or go now and ride It's a small world 50 times.

The night ended with the roping down of calves and bull riding which I close my eyes for,

and Keith Urban who I went crazy for. (ask my husband)

Seriously the best.

Next year everyone needs to fly/ drive to Houston and come with us.:)

Oh heyyy!! It's been awhile since you have heard from me.

NBD I'm just growing like a weed.

18.5 months to be exact.

Don't remind mommy that, for some reason she just cries all the time these days.

I love rocks.

I pound on any door in our house and say "IDE!" (for "outside") ALL day long.

I could live outside, sit in the dirt, and throw rocks all day.

That would be the life I tell you.

Mommy and Daddy took me to Petsmart the other day.

My first time ever.

Even though mommy couldn't stand the smell, Daddy loved it,

and mommy almost gave in to adopting me a dog.

Ok not really but I gave her my big puppy eyes and she actually considered it for once in her life.

One day mom.

Oh yeah. Mom always drags me along grocery shopping but this weekend I discovered Trader Joes' shopping carts just my size.

We won't be going any where else.

Anything with wheels and I'm in heaven.

I live for baths, balls, books, pizza, cheese quesadillas, pB&js and chicken nuggets.

I'm quite the health nut. (making my mom proud) ha

Hahaha I am so sneaky.

I hide all of mom's stuff in cupboards and trash cans and drawers.

She freaks out because she never knows where anything is.

It's hilarious.

Yesterday she found her hair brush (that she has been trying to find for weeks) in Daddy's swimsuit drawer.

Who would have thought to look there!?

My highest accomplishment.

I love to tell everyone how old I am.

1 is a pretty cool number.

I can almost count to 5 all by myself. Mom is proud.

18 months is a pretty sweet age.

Mom says I talk her ear off all day.

I can say so many new words.

I'm quite the jibber jabber.

Oh how they love me.

Well until next time!

#1. Mangos.

The other day I told Aaron I wanted to plant a mango tree in our back yard when we buy a house.

He laughed pretty hard but I was only half kidding.

I spent 30 minutes on google looking up how to care for a mango tree. Pretty sure mine would die, but it's a fun dream to have.

Until my dream of a mango tree in my back yard comes true, my weekly yogurt runs and grocery store mangos will do.

#2. Family & Friends.
I have the best family and friends. How can this not make your day! Seriously. (and for all you I don't know as well, your sweet messages have been such a strength to me!) Thank you thank you thank you.

#3. Naked babies.
So it's 9:00 AM. Ryan was still sleeping. NEVER HAPPENS. So I went to check on him to see if he was ok. Found him completely naked. What the heck. I didn't even know he knew how to take his clothes off! (like onesie, PJ's, diaper, everything was thrown on the floor off his crib) That had to have taken him hours. No wonder he was still sleeping. I took a quick crappy phone picture in the dark trying not to wake him up but I was dying laughing!

#4. Moms.

My sweet mother in law for taking over these last few weeks and of course my sweet mamma.

Apparently my body didn't respond well to my surgery and I ended up being hooked to IV's the ER. My poor husband handled it worse than I did. Long story short, I'm alive, and my mom caught the first plane to Houston and was here for 5 days. I was in heaven! She left yesterday and we miss her already!

#5. Vitamin D
Is good for the soul. Talk about the prettiest day ever today. See his little tooth. I'm so proud. Finally decided to show up about 2 months ago. He actually has 3 teeth and a 4th is coming in. 2 popped in up top but you can't see them here. Slowest teether ever and I'm already missing that gummy smile.

#6. My baby

I am loving the fact that he is obsessed with Lion King. Because give me anything Disney and I will love you for life! He has to say every sound each animal makes as they show up on TV. Combine Lion King with Dum dums and you have one good afternoon.

Happy Weekend!

Everyone better enjoy an ice cream cone and a piece of pizza for me.:)

PS. After whats felt like a really really long recovery, my doctor told me, I can finally start slowly jogging again, and I'm so happy I could cry!

Fit Friday posts will come soon.:)

xoxo
