Happy Mother's Day

Just a quick shout out to all the beautiful, terrific, wonderful mommas out there! Happy Mother's Day!

I am very blessed to have a mother that is also one of my best friends and a mother-in-law whom I can same the same about!

Greg and Adom got me a two year subscription for Texas Highways magazine! Yay! I've been wanting that for a really long time :)

Watch out all you Texas German, Bluebonnet, Dutch, Pioneer, & Christmas fests (not to mention flea markets) here we come ;)

Easter

Alright so I know this is a little late but at least I'm getting them up. Every year we try to go to Leakey to my family's place and do Easter with my Aunts and Uncles and all the cousins. My mom is the youngest of 8 kids so I always had tons of cousins growing up so needless to say Adom has lots of cousins as well :) He had a blast easter egg hunting this year and ate gummy bears and jelly beans till he popped. We had a great time and look forward to it every year :)

Potty Update

We have success people... my baby boy is officially potty trained!

Still wearing the pull ups only because we haven't made the special trip to the store for "big boy underwear".

Most nights he is completely dry when he wakes up and he is always dry after nap time, AND he goes in public restrooms!

So we rented Thomas the Train DVD from the library today for a reward for doing so well.

By the way he has a mild obsession with trains right now.... so right now hes happier than a tornado in a trailer park! (movie line)

Next step is to get him a big boy bed... not sure momma is ready for all this "big boy" stuff :(

Potty Time

Excuse me... Little busy here.





Yes Adom is potty training! Hallelujah!

He is doing so well! He went for the first time in the potty last Thursday and went on and off all day Friday. Then Saturday morning him and Greg went to buy him some "big boy pullups" with Cars on them!

This kid amazes me, I thought potty training was going to be such a struggle but he hasn't peed (except for during the night) in his pullup since Saturday. He's almost completely dry when he wakes up in the morning too!

Church was a different story... I think it will take some time for him to be comfortable going potty anywhere but home for a while.

Today we went to the park for 2 hours and as soon as we got home he told me he had to go. His pullup was completely dry. He waited till we got home to go!

I'm one proud momma... in case you couldn't tell :)

Nana comes to the big city!

My mom AKA "Nana" came to spend the whole week with us last week! We had an awesome time and got to do a lot of fun activities while she was here.
We took her to the Dallas World Aquarium which is the coolest aquarium EVER!

We went shopping, took her to the stockyards, she ate at Chick-fil-a for the FIRST time, and most of all we got lots of one-on-one time to visit and love on her :) And God Bless her she even watched Adom for us one night so Greg and I could have a date night :)

We had such a good visit and we love you so much Nana!!!!

Daddy's Party

Last month I, along with others, threw my Daddy a surprise birthday party.
It was his 70th!
It was a wonderful evening surrounded by wonderful friends and family.
We are truly blessed to have this wonderful man in our lives :)
