Obsessed

So I've mentioned previously that I'm not the most talented person when it comes to the crafty department... but that doesn't mean that I don't absolutely LOVE crafty stuff! I envy women that can make their own cute summery blouses and make their kiddos beautiful pillow case dresses.

From clothing to jewelry I've noticed lately that I've become more and more attracted to vintage! So here it is, my new obsession www.etsy.com

Maybe this website is old news to some of you but I've only just discovered it and when I say obsessed it's an understatement! I've been able to find the most beautiful vintage jewelry that people are putting together on this website. Not only do I LOVE the way these pieces look but I love the fact that theres history behind each piece.

I wonder who wore that locket? Whos pictures did these lockets hold close to their beloveds hearts? Aw, I know how romantic right?! Heehee!

So guess what I did... I bought a pattern online to try and make my own "cute summery blouse"! Only one problem, I don't know how to sew plus I don't even own a sewing machine! Problem solved: Verna does! Shes going to teach me when we go down for Adom's birthday the end of July!

I can not tell you how excited I am! Well I guess I sort of just did. Anyways, hopefully I'll catch on quick to Verna's teaching and I'll have myself a hobby! Amanda told me I needed one haha.

Anyways, check out the website it's not all vintage (i'm just particular to that). Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Scanning through numerous galleries waiting for that one thing to pop out at me and say "BUY ME"! So enticing!

Happy Searching!

Mommy Milestones

I found this on a new blog I just discovered. I thought it was hilarious because it is so true!

1 Month(post baby): Your Mommy's morning hygiene routine consists of washing her face with a wipe, while she's changing you.

3 Months(post baby): Your Mommy has finally mastered the art of nursing you, without completely exposing herself to the public. Some mommies may progress even faster and be able to nurse without walking away with a wet circle on their shirts.

5 Months(post baby): Your Mommy's separation anxiety subsides and she may trust a babysitter to watch you as she checks the mail.

7 Months(post baby): Your Mommy shows some social development and may be able to gather her mind and put sentences together to talk to other mommies at the park. Some mommies progress faster at this stage, depending on if they are sleeping through the night.

9 Months(post baby): Your Mommy finally realizes that she no longer needs to eat for two, and joins a weight loss program.

10 Months(post baby): Your Mommy decides that maybe all germs aren't bad and uses the five second rule when your beloved pacifier falls on the ground.

12 Months(post baby): Your Mommy begins to forget all the pain and exhaustion you have caused her this past year and tries to convince your Daddy that all children should grow up with siblings.

Happy Father's Day

Well Greg's Father's Day started out with a big homeade breakfast then we all got ready to go to church.
We've found a wonderful church in Fort Worth that we both really enjoy! We then went to lunch at Jason's Deli and came home to get ready for the waterpark! The water park we went to was for younger children so it was perfect for Adom! Even though he wasn't too thrilled with the whole experience he did like the water that shot up out of the ground. We weren't there long but it wore him out (see last pic) haha! We had a busy wonderful day with Daddy and we are so blessed to have him for a father and husband! We love you Greg (Daddy)! Oh Adom and I got him a new shirt from Target and one of his favorite movies, The Princess Bride. I also relieved him from diaper duty for the whole day! haha he really enjoyed the last gift! :)

Night Out

So we did it! We got up the nerve and HIRED a babysitter! We asked a girl that our friend Jessica Cowart teaches at her school to watch Adom for the evening. She was wonderful! She fed him, bathed him, played with him, and even put him to bed with no problems what so ever. Meanwhile we went out with Dustin and Jessica to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and afterwards a movie. We had a great time even though the movie STANK! We saw "Don't mess with the Zohan" Adam Sandler's new movie. Granted there were several funny moments through the way too long movie. But they took things a little too far. I'm modest so I won't elaborate but we spent $18 bucks on movie tickets so it aggravated me just a tad. When did movies become so expensive? Well that was my little rant... but all in all the evening was very nice and we will definitely be asking our new babysitter to visit again soon!

Crafty

I found this button while looking at vintage inspired jewelry items... sadly it was sold out :( I would proudly sport this button! I am by far the least talented person when it comes to the craft department... so this button comes with a little irony for me ;)

Don't worry I wouldn't sport the button currently (Not Preggo)!

Vacation

Ok so I know it's been forever since I've posted anything... Sorry! We left last Friday for Kerrville to see family and friends and we didn't get back till Tuesday evening. We had a wonderful time! Uncle Ethan and Aunt Mandy drove in from South Carolina so if was great getting to see them! Adom also got to spend a lot of time playing with lots of kiddos including his cousins Bella and Landry. I didn't get a whole lot of pictures but I'll post some more later on.

Adom loves his cousins! They played so well together.

He liked to play around the pool but not in it haha!

Watching cartoons in bed with Daddy is the best!

Prayers

Please pray for Adom, we went to the doctor this afternoon and he has double ear infections and really bad congestion. On the plus side we found a new doctor that I think we're going to like. Also please be praying for Ryan and April Simpson's daughter Brooke. She has asthma and had to go into the hospital in Kerrville last night for oxygen treatments. They think she might have the beginnings stages of pneumonia but are not sure. She was doing better when I talked to April this morning though. Thanks for the prayers! God Bless!
