Terence’s 30th Birthday

This Saturday we celebrated Terence’s 30th birthday with some friends.  We went to Outback Steakhouse & then the guys (and Lisa) went go-carting.  Terence’s Aunt Loyce and her fiance Garry watched Connor boy so we could have a night out! Thank you!!!

I really wanted to go see a movie, but it didn’t work out to where the movie times aligned with our plans, and we had to get up early this morning to keep the nursery at church.  So…..we went to a putt putt place and rode go-carts.  And Kyle lost……poor Kyle 🙁

 Sarah & Hyung
 Black cherry mojito….yummmmm……
It was a fun night and I hope you had a good time babe!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH & YOU MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME!
We came home last night to Aunt Loyce & Garry sound asleep in the living room.  It was hilarious and I couldn’t stop laughing.  Connor must have wore them out???  He was sound asleep in his bed after several minutes of jibber jabber (According to Aunt Loyce 🙂 …..
Connor loves outside.  We can’t wait to go see our Nana & Poppy in a couple weeks and swim.  My Mom told me she got him a little pool and I know he’ll love it!  He’s never been in a swimming pool before.  Here my big boy is playing this afternoon……

 He’s learning how to hail a cab!  Look at my skillz Auntie Summer!!!!
Until tomorrow….I have some more great giveaways in store next week! 
I love doing them and entering them on other blogs.  It makes me so excited 🙂

Ramble Much?

(This is an update post on favorite thrift store finds for Kellys Korner Blog)

One of my absolute favorite sites is Charming Creations by Melissa

The items below are in one of my favorite antique malls here in Ft Worth called Montgomery Street Antique Mall.  If you live in DFW please visit visit!  I’m still drooling over that antique blue chest…..

Okay-so this post is going to be full of randoms because as we all know Blogger has been down for 2 days a million years! In other news: I am having major issues with my picky eater.  He does eat some foods, but is extremely picky when it comes to meat and veggies.  Anything remotely solid he spits out and his big phrase right now is “uh oh!”
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO GET THIS CHILD TO EAT???

We also got Connor’s new big boy car seat in this week.  I must say I liked the smaller car seat much better!  It’s a pain in the butt to take this thing in and out of the car every day.  We did have fun with the box though 😉  I put Connor in the box and was dragging him in it like a sled.  He LOVED it!  He was just giggling and giggling!!!  Who knew such fun came from a cardboard box?

This past weekend I forgot to mention that we attended a lovely lunch for Terence’s Aunt Loyce.  She recently got engaged and we couldn’t be more happy for her!  We had a yummy lunch at a tea room/ antique mall and I found so many cute things in there!  There is so much unique stuff in antique malls.

Below: My food, Grandma, nephew Jacob, and the bride to be Aunt Loyce

I’m in love with these two pieces of furniture that were there.  They were painted and distressed a baby blue color.  I don’t know what I would put in all those drawers….but I am sure I could find something!

The smaller chest was $275.  Is that a good or bad price?

 Other fun stuff….

In & Out Burger recently opened it’s first two locations in Texas this week!  I am so excited about this and can’t wait to get my grubby little paws on one again 😉

Here I am enjoying my very 1st In & Out Burger a few years ago in Vegas:

We’ve been playing outside a lot these days and I captured these pics of Connor last night….it just amazes me how fast he is growing these days!  He looks like such a big boy now!
Hope ya’ll have a great weekend!!!

Happy 30th

Terence turns 30 today!
He was a good sport this morning and wore the “30” glasses!  I love you so much and you are the best husband, dad, and friend I could ever ask for.  I’m so glad I get to spend my life with you!

Terence’s Mom, Dad, and our niece Arielle came over before I left for work to eat birthday waffles.  Their family has been doing birthday waffles since Terence was a kid 🙂  I’m so glad they came and we got to celebrate together!

We are going to celebrate again this Saturday and go out to dinner.  I love you babe and I hope you have a great day today!  Happy 30th and many more to come…….

Ulubulu Giveaway!

I have a great giveaway in store for you all today!  Ulubulu is an awesome company that makes silly bibs & personalized pacifiers.  They also have several more great products that can be found here.
“Designed with safety, function, style and affordability in mind ULUBULU is becoming a major player in the baby products industry.  All of our products are tested for safety so parents can have piece of mind and we only make products our own children would use.”
Connor LOVED this bib!  We tried it out the other day and he’s been wearing it ever since.  I put Cheerios or Goldfish in it and he wears it around the house or while eating.  It’s great because I can put the snacks in the bib itself and he can grab them and eat….and if he drops a few it doesn’t land on my floor because the bib catches it!  I LOVE THAT!
 See how easy it is for him to feed himself?
Also included in the giveaway is this adorable “My Mom Rocks” pacifier 🙂

 We use this bib every day for snack time & dinner now 🙂

Would you like to win an Ulubulu bib and pacifier?

Mother’s Day 2011

I had a great Mother’s Day this year!  I remember last year how sleep deprived I was with a new baby and this year I got to sleep in until 11:00 am!!!  Thanks Terence for letting me get some much needed sleep!  The best gift ever….in my opinion….
Our weekend was very laid back & we spent time together enjoying the nice weather & running around town.  Terence is in the process of turning my dining room into a home office so we’ve got parts all around the living room we are trying to keep Connor out of.  I’ll show the finished product when we get it all set up on the blog.  Terence stepped on a piece of the desk he’s been building and we had to order another piece to it….oops! 
I am so thankful for my Mom, Mother in law, and all the other women in my family who are motherly role models.  What would we do without them? I’m so thankful for all of YOU!
So here is a re-cap of our weekend 🙂
It’s so hard to get him to look at the camera these days!
He loved riding this whale

My booger – 14 months

Seems like we end up at the park every weekend these days….

I just love how when I holler for him to “come here” he runs the other direction now…..

My picky eater actually LOVED some corn. It’s like pulling teeth sometimes to get the kiddo to eat.

So I have to give the hubby wubby some props.  He did do good this year 🙂  He was going to get me some jewelry with Connor’s birthstone in it….but honestly I’d rather save the money and buy things we need for the house right now.  His birthstone is aquamarine, and I know someday I’ll get something with aquamarine in it! However, I did want a particular candle from Williams Sonoma & some Godiva chocolate!

This fleur de sel smells A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
So fresh and clean!
Connor and I at the mall with Godiva in tow….
We also played at the play area in the mall.  Connor loved it, but it was crowded!
Also-BOTH Saturday & Sunday Terence went and got Momma a Starbucks 🙂
Thanks babe!  I love you & I couldn’t do this parenting gig without ya!
I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day as well!
Whether you are a Mom or not remember you are a mother role model for someone out there!
And I am praying daily for all of you out there longing to for motherhood….it’s the best, most challenging, and life changing experience I’ve had thus far….and I wouldn’t change it for anything!  I believe if God puts the desire in your heart then he will fulfil that desire someday, somehow, I believe it!
Love yuns!
