Home Again…Home Again…

December 20, 2013

I’m having a great visit in Arkansas with family right now! So good to see my Mom, Dad, and sister. Today we are headed to the farm to celebrate Christmas with Nannie. I am watching Connor and Jarrett right now and they just adore each other…then they fight. But mostly they adore each other 😉

Y’all can follow on Instagram if you want to stay in touch during our trip!!!! xoxo Becky

Mom took us out to get nails done and we got shellac for the first time! I’m interested to see how long it stays on. We all got Christmas nails.

Breakfast With Santa

December 12, 2013

A couple of weeks ago Connor and I headed to North East Mall to have breakfast with Santa. All the kids dress in their pajamas and get to walk through the mall and wake up Santa sleeping in his bed. It was so much fun and we’ll definitely be going back next year.

All the kiddos got a bag full of arts and crafts to do and a Chick-Fil-A breakfast was served. There were lots of coupons in the goody bags for Moms too 🙂

The Chick-Fil-A Cow was there too! Santa’s bed The Mothership…aka our new Starbucks at North East Mall We headed to See’s Candy to check out some stocking stuffers 🙂 Of course we couldn’t leave the mall without trying out the new CC’s Cupcake Heaven cake pops. This was so cute with the Christmas lights on it. Then Connor got to tell Santa his LOOOOOOOONG list of things he wants for Christmas! He was so excited! And kind of celebrity shocked. If you live in the DFW area I highly recommend Breakfast with Santa at North East Mall! Remember this for next year and continue to check out all the fun kids activities in the Kidgits program at North East Mall.

Let it ICE

December 8, 2013

The last couple of days being stuck inside the house have been driving us all nuts. Last night we may have taken a Rubbermaid container and let Connor slide down a hill in it. That’s not a safety hazard is it? We didn’t have a sled, but it ended up working out great 🙂 I didn’t feel so bad after I saw the other kids all sledding in laundry baskets last night. The things you do for your kids! Connor’s been enjoying his first ~~snow~~ ice that he can remember. We have tickets to the North Pole Express this afternoon and I’m just hoping they aren’t cancelled. He’s been so excited to go on the train all week. We also made our first gingerbread house. That was a lot of fun. I’m really enjoying this age Connor’s at right now. It’s so magical and his imagination cracks me up. We put up our nativity too!

What have y’all been up to in this crazy weather?

Every Kiss Begins with KAY….Yeah Right!

December 5, 2013

Every year around the Christmas season they come out with all the lovely holiday commercials. Some are sweet, others just make me want to switch channels and barf.

One of the commercials Terence and I always joke about are the KAY commercials. He looks at me with a HUGE eyeball roll and says “Does anyone really do that?” Ha ha!!! I just laugh it off…but you know every girl in America is hoping for that “KAY moment”. It ain’t gonna happen sweetheart. Not unless you have an overly sappy guy. Or at least it won’t happen like the commercials.

So here’s my little spoof of KAY & probably what every dude is really thinking….

That’s right dream on homeboy Yeah…they must have been dating for a whole monthThat’s right kids. You’re my witnesses. I really DO nice things for your Mom…now go tell her parents….mmmmkay?

So, yeah I’m probably a little skeptic. Does anyone really have these “KAY moments” or is it just a marketing scheme to disappoint every woman in the universe that instead of a pretty necklace or a set of sparkly earrings they are really going to get a new vacuum or an HD television for the whole family. Yeah….dream on home girl. Dream on…..

Connor’s School Christmas Program 2013

December 4, 2013

We are so thankful that Connor has such a great school to go to while we work. They love him so much and we love them! They put together a precious Christmas program for all the parents and families last night. There’s nothing cuter in the world that watching little kids sing Christmas songs.

Happy Thanksgiving 2013!

November 29, 2013

Happy Thanksgiving family and friends! May God bless each and every one of you this season! xoxo Becky

We ate so much today I feel like stuffed sausage. Even though I couldn’t be home in Arkansas with my loved ones I feel truly blessed to have such a loving family here in Texas too! I have to work tomorrow….boo!!! But all you black Friday shoppers have a good ole big un. I can’t be a part of all that madness….I’ll be shopping from home if I can for any bargains 🙂

Fun Weekend with Friends

November 27, 2013

It’s been a crazy busy week. At work and at home. Geesh….this is the time of year it doesn’t slow down I guess? We have a cold front right now in Texas and I’m loving it. We are taking full advantage of building fires in the evenings. Connor loves to help build fires 🙂

This past weekend I went to a Christmas Etsy market with my good friend Sarah. She brought along baby Ellie, whom I’ve been dying to see since the hospital. She is just the cutest….like ever. There were some really cute vendors there. The market was located at the Shops at Park Lane and I’d never been there before. It was outside basically along one main street. There was an indoor area, and it was COLD! I am hoping that as word catches on there will be more vendors and it will get bigger in the future. Who would’nt love a HUGE Etsy paradise?
