While Terence and I were out Christmas shopping this past weekend I went into Sephora and was looking around. One of the sales ladies came up to me and we had a conversation that went something like this….

Sephora Girl: “Can I help you find anything?”
Me: “I’m just looking”
Sephora Girl: “This may sound weird, but can I ask you something?”
Me: “sure”
Sephora Girl: “How did you know that you were pregnant?”
Me: “I took a pregnancy test!”
Sephora Girl: “Yeah, but did you feel wierd or anything?”
Me: “Well, yeah I guess so I felt sort of dizzy sometimes and tired”
Sephora Girl: “I’ve been DIZZY!” “What do you think I should do?”
Me: “I’d probably go home and take a TEST and call your doctor!”
Sephora Girl: “Yeah I’m just nervous because I haven’t started my period”
Me: “Yeah I would take a test…..”
Sephora Girl: “I think I’ll do that later….yeah….”
Me: (OMG-Did I just have that converstation?) Because apparantly being pregnant makes me the closest thing to a medical doctor 😛 LOL! The whole thing just cracked me up, I would never just go up to someone and ask stuff like that!

I am giving away 1 full bottle of Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15.

It seems like we have been going, going, going all weekend long! Saturday we got up early to start doing some Christmas shopping because we celebrate with T’s family next weekend. Today we had the Christmas music special at church and I think Connor really liked it because when the orchestra played he just started kicking and kicking! I am still working on getting the house all ready because my Mom and Dad are going to come and visit in a few weeks! Yippee!! I am so excited for them to come…FINALLY! I don’t think they have come to visit since we moved to Texas, but we didn’t exactly have a place for them to stay either. We got a king size bed for our bedroom and are putting our queen bed in the guest room. It’s nice to have a BIG bed, especially since I am getting bigger too!

These are the euro shams for the guest bedroom (Mom & Dad’s room)

I also wanted to say a special THANK YOU to a new friend named Lisa. (I think her blog may be private) Lisa is all the way from Australia and she sent me the CUTEST baby clothes! She has a little boy named Ayden, and her blog is about his journey to get a new ear. She is a wonderful mother to three children and it’s been a blessing getting to know her. Lisa, this is so sweet and I can’t wait for Connor to wear all the precious outfits!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I love them all!

Every year Terence’s Aunties put on a charity event called “Celebrity Cutting“. It is a lot of fun to attend and you get to see lots of neat people riding some horses! I never knew what cutting a horse was until we started going to this, to me it’s like playing chicken between a horse and a cow….see which one gives up first! You have to make sure the cow doesn’t join the rest of the heard and your job is to steer it away from the rest of the cattle with your horse.

This is Liz and Paul (T’s brother) with Kristy Lee Cook

Terence’s lovely parents 🙂

Okay onto other miscellaneous and non-important stuff….

We made our first fire in the house Thursday night! I love the smell of fireplaces…mmmmm…

Does that make me weird? It snowed one morning last week and it was so pretty! I need to be spanked because I didn’t get a picture and it is very RARE it Texas for snow. I made some BLT’s for dinner and we just sat down in front of the fire and watched TV-good times!

Gulp! Baby Connor likey bacon!

And YES-I am going to hang that clock somewhere in the house, I just don’t know where…so for right now it rests on the mantle until I find a picture I like or something. Also want to find some floral something or other for those blue vases….it’s a work in progress!

Okay now I’m going to get Ter-bear out of the bed so we can do some Christmas shopping! We celebrate Christmas next weekend with his family and we haven’t got a darn thing yet!

Happy Weekend Everyone!

Before I announce the winner you know I had to show you pictures right?
We took our sweet lil‘ cousin Lindsey to Starbucks again…I mean we just have to show her the way 🙂
Last time we took Lindsey to Starbucks we ordered her a vanilla bean drink (which has no coffee in it) and she didn’t like that….so this time she wanted COFFEE! Lindsey Sue ordered a mocha frappucinno and she liked it…oh boy! It must run in the blood….ha..ha…

I had Terence draw the winner out of a big ole bowl

because I knew he would pick a good un!

And the winner is……
Congrats!

We had the BEST baby shower ever! My Mom worked so hard and so did our family and friends. Baby Connor and baby Jarrett got so many goodies and these boys are already so spoiled! Here is a little picture preview of how the day went….

Look at all that LOOT! I’ve gotta get it all sorted now and

Here is the stroller/carseat system we got and the pack and play

THANKS MOM & DAD!

The night before the shower…everyone blow up a balloon!

Go for it Grandpa!

Nannie was the official balloon holder

The cake was chocolate (of course) with chocolate ganache frosting

WE DON’T SKIMP ON THE CHOCOLATE!

Me and Bon with one of our best friends Kristin

Looks like a mirror image-we got a lot of the same outfits for the boys, but that is okay…we don’t live in the same states or anything and we sort of like to dress alike!

They got they cutest little froggy towels with their names on them

The diaper bags-Thanks Mom!

Kristin got us each a Little Giraffe blanket-SO SOFT!

Baby Bibles with their names on it

Bonnie’s cute nephew!

Me and Bon with Rachie!

Friends from highschool 🙂

My Dad did this billboard at church-so sweet!

Dad also made a CD of a song he sang with his friend playing (Dad likes bluegrass)

for the babies to listen to…it is the sweetest song! I

I guess that is all for tonight folks!

Thank you for all your prayers-I’ve looked forward to this day for so long and dreamed about

having a baby for what seems like forever, and it’s finally here! I just feel overwhelmed with love and blessings and I am so THANKFUL this holiday season!

MUCH LOVE, BECKY

I am really addicted to the Starbucks Eggnog Lattes right now. We all know how I feel about my coffee!!! They also have a Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Latte, and a new Caramel Brule Latte.
