It’s Friday I am in LOVE!

I am participating in Summer’s “It’s Friday I am in Love” post-a-thon!

YOU ALL KNOW MY LOVE FOR COFFEE!!!!
I am also loving anything with a little *bling bling* to it. I got this whale iron on for $1 and put it on one of Connor’s onesies. Terence said it’s too girlie???? What do you think?
(Later in the week I will show you another *bling* project I am working on!)
I love waking up to this little face every morning. He’s starting to recognize me now and when I go get him up he just SMILES and he’s ready to go live and learn for the day!
We don’t have anything particularly exciting scheduled for the weekend. What are ya’ll doing? And what are you in LOVE with right now?

XOXO – Becky

Testimony of a New Mom

Time…..time is flying by so fast.

Oh how my world has changed these past few months!
Connor, your Daddy and I love you with all our hearts. I’ve waited for you so long my son. I’ve dreamed about you so many nights. I look into your eyes each day and feel overwhelmed with love and emotion. It’s going to be hard to see you grow up and make mistakes or get your first boo boo. I know these moments are just part of growing up. It seems like lately you’ve been growing up so quickly right before our eyes……

You make me want to be a better person. I’ve thought a lot lately about what kind of parent I want to be…..I know sometimes I will have to be strict on you or discipline you for something you’ve done wrong. Right now I just want to hold you and comfort you. I want to put you in a bubble so nothing can ever hurt you or sway you in the wrong direction. I want to be a Godly example in your life. I’ve felt convicted lately that I am not the Godly person I should be or want to be. I will work on that…I’ll be better for me and for you…and for Daddy too……
Your Daddy is my best friend, he holds my heart…and now so do you! He supported me throughout my pregnancy when I was uncomfortable and sick. He helped me put my socks on when I could no longer reach my feet. Your Daddy makes me laugh and smile each day. He encouraged me when I thought I couldn’t breast feed you and wanted to give up! He pushes me to be a better person in life and a better Mommy for you. We both want to be Godly examples for you my son. Without God we would not have you in our lives and in our hearts. You are our precious gift ๐Ÿ™‚

I am not perfect by any means and can only strive each day to be a better person. It’s because of God, our loving family, and friends that we have the life we have today. We are so blessed and this short time on earth is only temporary. My love for you will never be temporary….I know there will be times I am exhausted and don’t know what to do with you….but my love will be eternal for you my son.

Your goofy faces make me smile all the time…..

I wonder what you are thinking at times???
You are taking in this new world each day and it’s so amazing to see you learn and grow. You stare at everything like it’s brand new and wonderful and exciting. The little tiny things in life that seem so minuscule to everyone else excite you most of all!
The sleepless nights have been challenging and so have the long days. You are worth every second of that time! Mommy doesn’t have time to do everything she once did….I often wonder if all this blogging, twittering, facebooking is all that important anymore. I love to keep this blog, not for myself, but for you my son…..so that someday you can look back and remember all these things about your crazy Momma!

You are my angel boy…..my gift from above
“I love my Connor boy
You feel my heart with joy
You’re my gift from God above
You fill my heart with so much love”
I repeat that to you every morning…….
You light up my life….my sweet Connor boy ๐Ÿ™‚

It’s Hot!!! Hot!!! Hot!!!

It’s been over 100 degrees here in Texas for the past week! I am sooooo not a summer person! I prefer colder weather and hot cocoa over this any day. I guess it’s just because I don’t like to sweat or shave my legs…ha..ha…and I am white and unfortunately don’t tan ๐Ÿ™

Momma puhhhleeezzzeeee don’t take me outside!
This boy is like a furnace…I sit and hold him and he warms you up like a heating pad
Terence & I were invited to go to Beastro at the Fort Worth Zoo on Friday night. Our friends Adam & Christa invited us to go. It was nice to have a night out with friends. There was endless food from local restaurants and you walk around and just EAT & EAT!!!! I was stuffed! I had to get this picture with a penguin for my Mom because she LOVES penguins ๐Ÿ™‚

And it’s a real live OWL!!!!

Today Terence and I have just been relaxing and I’ve been doing laundry and cleaning. We went to Barnes & Noble this afternoon to look at vacation books for our 10th wedding anniversary trip. It’s not until next year, but we wanted to start planning something in advance. Right now it’s a toss up between Ireland and anywhere else….we aren’t quite sure??? Where would you go or where have you been that you liked? My sister and I used to LOVE these Little Mr. & Miss books! I read Connor “Mr. Tickle”

Me and little Mister

He LOVES to roll around on the floor

I took some photos this morning…I just want to capture every moment because it goes by so quickly!

Drooooool!!!

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend and don’t get too HOT!!! LOL!

Summer Days

This week Terence and I met up with Adam and Christa to support our friend Travis who is running a marathon to benefit crohn’s disease. He had a great turn out that night and I hope he raised some good moolah to support his cause! He’s very passionate about this because it has effected him personally and I know he’s an inspiration to others who are suffering with crohn’s disease. You go Travis! You can visit his website HERE

Connor is just getting cuter by the day! He LOVES his Daddy and when we get home in the afternoon his face just lights up when he sees him. Here is a little video of them playing ๐Ÿ™‚

We have a busy weekend ahead and hopefully I’ll have some good pictures to share!

Things I am loving right now

Today is ONLY Wednesday….oh weekend please come soon! Even though you will come with boiling hot temperatures and pits stains I don’t care….just come soon!

I just got some ZEBRA print shoes
Aren’t they cuties?
I can’t really wear heels all day because they make my feet hurt so I always look for cute flats
I also LOVE these bibs! They are pull over bibs and some of them come with a washcloth attached that looks like ears on an animal. Connor has a tiger bib that is like that. I ordered these three yesterday and two of them have little teething things attached. The tuxedo one isn’t special, but it was so cute! You can find them at Mullins Square Kids.

I am also loving the Godiva dark chocolate gem truffles. They are so much cheaper than Godiva truffles in the boutiques and you get a whole bag! I prefer the dark chocolate of course!

I am really LOVING TWITTER right now too…..I just got into it and it’s very addictive. I haven’t had a lot of time to check blogs and comment like I used to since baby Connor’s arrival. I then realized a lot of my blogger friends have twitter accounts and it’s so much easier to keep up with them on twitter. I have my “daily Starbucks pic” posted on twitter every day ๐Ÿ™‚ Ha..ha..

(Bonnie took this pic with her cell while they were visiting…excuse my icky hair and glasses!)
I am loving my precious baby nephew Jarrett who has been so sick this week. He’s doing better, but is still in the hospital and I ask that you continue to pray for this little baby lovey! Auntie Becky loves you sweet boy!
Thank you all for your prayers!
I may make this a weekly post….what are you loving today?

Well Wishes

Connor says “Get well soon Jarrett”
Bonnie said they don’t think it’s pneumonia, which is good! Just continue to keep him in your prayers as well as Bonnie. I don’t think she got much sleep last night either.
It was hard to take this picture because Connor kept wanting to eat the paper!
He’s been a lot more vocal lately…I guess he’s finding his voice. He will just squeal and squeal!

Me and Mommy ๐Ÿ™‚
He’s getting so big already!

You are so smiley and we love you with all our hearts my big boy!
The weeks just fly by and the weekends even faster….trying to enjoy each moment before it disappears! Every day is a blessing and we are so blessed to have you little mister!
