Bath Time
Isn't bath time so much more fun when you take one with your cousin? Too bad there were no toys and bubbles-these two would have played all night!

a date night with my boys...and wishing my girl was there too:)
oh what a fantastic date night it was! orie got the idea to head over to a local neighborhood and look at Christmas lights this past weekend....it was something we did last year and was so much fun! the lights in this neighborhood are pretty fantastic....we had grace in the car with us last year and every time we drove past a horse drawn carriage she would tremble and growl...it was hysterical! this year we drove by those horse drawn carriages with william in the back seat and grace at home....it made me a little sad....i am sure we would have taken her if we didn't have plans for earlier in the evening....after all-she is our one and only girl:)
earlier in the evening we went to a shopping center that has GORGEOUS trees wrapped in lights from trunk to tip top....they are beautiful....so we strolled around shopping and looking...then had a delicious dinner where my son flirted with the table behind us and proved to his mommy that he might be a better date than his daddy one day (and that would be pretty hard to achieve)! the evening was perfection and i will treasure every moment with my boys....i just wish my girl could have been there too....

di and william
orie and william....william was really into the lights on the other side of him!
trying to look at the camera....
strolling along...
trying to eat Sophie my giraffe...
having dinner with my mom...
he was so busy!
i still can't get over the lights here....i wish they would do this in central park!
he kept turning to see the lights....love my boy!
so very random....
so tonight when i sat down to blog...i asked orie if the pictures from the other night were on the computer yet (he took them on his phone)....he said no i'll get them there now.....
so...i get to the computer and start to look for the pics (they are magically being sent from his cell phone to our mac through cosmic network powers)....and they are not where he tells me they should be...
so....he comes over to check it out and pulls up our dropbox account (the cosmic network powers) and looks for them....i immediately freak out because the dropbox account does not have all of the neat and organized picture folders that are on our mac! yes, i am crazy about keeping my pictures organized.....since 2007 they are all organized by date and event.....it's crazy but it's one of my weird things you all love me for:)
I ask him why they are not organized like they are on the mac (the dropbox account should be somewhat of a mirror image of the mac) and he is confused....so i show him my pictures folder on the mac....i say....see they are all organized in the appropriate folder....i only have one picture that i didn't know what to do with.....
he clicks on said picture and since i was on the blog ready to upload the other pictures....this one uploaded instead....
isn't he the sweetest? this picture is from when I lived on Bluebonnet in Baton Rouge which is somewhere around 2004...he left it on my computer one day for me to see....he really has always been a computer nerd:)....i saved it and never wanted to lose it....so it just stayed in my pictures....never categorized or labelled....just there.....
I love that it spontaneously made its way to our blog tonight.....I love that he still loves me and thinks of me as his best friend in the whole wide world....I love that he is still the greatest computer nerd ever!

Believe....
seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child.....priceless!
I love that Orie and I were both here for this moment....William was so happy and knew that Santa was something pretty special....
William's other Parents
When I was pregnant with William, I thought a lot about who we would choose to be his Godparents. I have Godparents....a whole God Family in fact....they were more than family friends...they were Godbrothers (if there is such a thing). I love that I still see my Godfather very often and that my sweet Aunt Godmother always makes me feel extra special....I wanted this same thing for William.
I think I always knew who would be his Godparents...
Once he was born and Orie and I discussed it more and more....I knew our decision was the right one. These three individuals would be the perfect Godparents for William.....a mommy and daddy couldn't ask for more for their child. As we approach his Baptism I am giddy with thoughts about them standing next to William on his big day, I am giddy with thoughts about them having William in their hearts and prayers forever, I am giddy with thoughts about them loving my child unconditionally forever and ever.
Ahhhh......
Dear Carie, Chad and Jarrod....
I am so glad that each one of you is in my life. I know how important your friendship is to my mom and dad and I can't wait to grow up and know you more and more. I know that you are special people and I am blessed to have you in my life.
When I was born, I knew how lucky I was to have such wonderful and loving parents. I know that they will love me, protect me, provide for me and guide me throughout my life. I know with their help I will grow up to be a kind, good and generous person.
My mom and dad decided that they would need a little guidance and help in raising me to be this kind, good and generous person.....so they have decided to Christen me in the Episcopal church. They know that with God's help and the involvement of Godparents in my life that I will have every opportunity to grow into a strong Christian man......a man who is kind, good, generous, loving, polite, caring, compassionate, trustworthy, honest, thoughtful, respectful, family oriented, prayerful and forgiving.
I hope that you will be in my life as my Godparent.....I hope that you will love me unconditionally.....I hope that you will pray for me regularly....I hope that you will set a good example for me to follow....I hope that you will teach me about your own relationship with God....I hope that you will encourage me to start each day with God in my heart....
Will you be my Godparent?
Love,
William

tis the season....to have some fun!
We have had lots of happenings, parties, new groups and lots of good times lately! There is never a dull moment around here....
Di and William have been going to a local mom's group at church....it has been nice to get out and visit with other fun ladies and to hear some of their stories....William even went to the nursery for the first time while I was at our "party meeting". Of course he did great....and I really didn't worry too much about him...YEAH!
Orie has been busy....you can fill in the blank....yes working....we are so glad he loves his job but we are also ready for his stress level to go down....I'm so grateful that he works so hard for me and William and I am also so grateful that William has a smile for him at the end of each hard day...I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than that!
We have had a few parties...I went to a Dirty Santa gift exchange party with some old friends and new friends...it was super fun and I was out way past my bedtime...oh well....you only live once!
Orie and I celebrated another friend's 35th birthday....it was so fun to be included in her celebration....it was at a local wine bar and we had so much fun getting dolled up and enjoying a night out! The V family came over for it and we all had a really fun evening....Orie had to head in early to relieve our babysitter and Di and the V family did not get home until 2 am.....if you know the V family you probably think I am making this up....! I have proof though....midnight tamales, early morning karaoke and the remnants of party mix after some late night snacking! It was such a fun celebration....happy early to the birthday girl...thanks for letting us share in your fun night!
William not only had his first trip to the church nursery but also his first babysitter. I really wasn't too nervous about this either....I called a friend of mine to see if her daughter would be interested....the daughter is a senior in high school and is the oldest of six brothers....I trusted her completely and was so excited when she said yes....William was in great hands....I even got a party pic of the two of them halfway through the night from her mom....you know it's love when your babysitter sends sweet pics to her mom!
We also celebrated August's Christening in Shreveport...it was absolutely perfect. She was SO well behaved (I think it was from the extra coaching from her Aunt Di)! We enjoyed her beautiful service as well as a lovely lunch at Kat and Josh's....the perfect day! We can only hope William does as well on his big day:)
I am sure there is lots more to tell but I can't ever seem to come up with it when I finally sit down to blog....so this will have to do!
Enjoy a few pics!
We hope your days are merry and bright this December!

finally....
Well folks...finally....the day has come when my child actually looks like me....aka a M family member....and not to be mistaken with one of his charming M family cousins....
William and I had a silly photo shoot this afternoon in his room....I got the idea of Pinterest (my new obsession....very new in fact...I'm only three days in....) and I think it turned out adorable!
He was all smiles....which I think is when he looks most M family like....
If I were sending a Christmas card this year....I think this would have to be one of the pictures....since I am not sending a Christmas card this year (boo)....enjoy the cyber pic of sweet William!

argh....
Well...here is the deal....I have this huge ROADBLOCK from blogging and I finally figured out what it is.....I just have too many pictures to post from our fabulous trip to Florida that I can't even figure out where to start....it overwhelms me TREMENDOUSLY....probably why I have not blogged about it. Of course I can't blog about something else until I blog about Florida - problems problems problems.....
So here is the deal....I am going to recap our life (since October) in a brief blog post and then get right back on track....especially since I have the handy iPHONE blogging app....I mean it can't get any easier right?
So....we went to Florida....
It was SENSATIONAL.....have I ever mentioned before how much I love going to Florida? I should really clarify this though...it's not just Florida...it's how much I love going to Destin...more specifically Dolphin View. It's just the most magical place in the world....full of family, fun, memories (old and new) and lots of giggles! Sometimes my mom and dad ponder over selling it....my heart aches a little during these discussions....even when they are followed by ideas over other grand vacations to a house with enough bedrooms for everyone.....my heart still aches at this thought....I wouldn't have a family vacation any other way than at Dolphin View....if only we could add another bedroom....
The trip was our first family vacation and William did great....a trooper in the car and the happiest baby on the block for the trip....we are often reminded how lucky we are:)
We loved spending our days on the beach with all the fam...Tess and Papa loved on all their grands.....this often made the oldest grand a little worried about sharing his Tess and Papa :)
We soaked up some precious August time....from Aunt Di as the play mate and William as the play mate....
We giggled at Cooper and his constant entertainment and giggled some more at Ethan's jokes and witty sense of humor....I swear sometimes I wonder how he is not mine....that is how cool this kid is!
It was a fantastic vacay and I hope we take lots more of them together.....to Dolphin View....no matter how many babies we have to pack in! Thanks mom and dad....we loved it!
After returning home from Florida we had the K family over to Dallas for the weekend....it was TCU's homecoming so we got to keep August for the evening.....she was so much fun and I am certain she LOVED hanging out with her aunt di and uncle orie.....I feel like she told me that I was definitely the coolest cat ever! William loved hanging with her too....these cousins are going to be besties...and i just love it!
We have picnic'd at The Arboretum with friends....oh so much fun! William so wants to play and run with her big boys...I know one day he will....for now we just love being included on their big boy outings!
We headed to Shreveport for Halloween....William had a blast at 2...yes 2 Halloween parties - he's quite the socialite! He was an adorable Pea in a Pod....his daddy was an angry bird and his mommy was a Tiger....we had so much fun dressing him up and watching him on his first Halloween....he loved the parties and was on sensory overload afterwards....there was so much to take in!!
I got to spend the week in Shreveport for a little quality play time.....it was awesome! We missed seeing Orie every night but certainly enjoyed catching up with friends and family without the quickness of a weekend visit!
We celebrated sweet Charlie's 1st birthday....gosh it is crazy to think he is a year old....I can remember when he was born...well when he was SUPPOSED to be born....I was waiting there with my sweet friend Carie after she had been in labor all night.....no signs of Charlie....I had to leave that afternoon to head back to Dallas and still no signs of Charlie....I was devastated....I thought for sure I would be there for his birth.....I got back to Dallas....still no Charlie.....I finished one of my dragon tattoo girl books and still no Charlie....then finally Charlie came....I was so excited.....! It's almost like your sister having a baby when your bestie has a baby...I just wish we lived closer so I could see him every day! I know he would think that his Aunt Di is the coolest too:) Happy Birthday sweet Charlie....I am so glad William got to celebrate with you!
We headed to Dallas Market for a fabulous sample sale....have I mentioned I love children's clothing....I want William dressed every day....from head to toe in something ridiculously cute....but I don't want to pay a fortune....so this sale is the BEST ever.....I may show you the picture of our "loot" but it might embarrass me....just know this....we had 5 buyers.....4 babies.....a gazillion outfits and barely spent anything:) IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!
We have had several doctors appointments with William....yes, I am the crazy woman who goes for the visits that are not recommended or required...you know...the ones just to make you feel good and make sure your baby is on track....doesn't everyone go to those? I am happy to report W is very healthy and definitely happy....but I didn't need a doctor to tell me that! He smiles at his mama and daddy all the time!!! sweet boy!
I headed to Conway, AR....with William....for the Arkansas Veterans Hall of Fame Ceremony....because my grandfather was inducted....it was awesome! He is a fine veteran and we are so proud of him....I loved that William and August were there with him....he was so proud:) The trip was a little long and it was certainly not William's finest hour....but with the help of Aunt Kat...we made it and it was worth every second!
We had some more sweet friends come over to meet William and have a little bit of a girls night....thanks Gray and Lee-Tay....it was so fun and William loves you to pieces....William is also set for his first formal thanks to Grayson who gave him his first "tuxedo".....I am sure he is going to be a charmer:)
I took William shopping with me for Chi-Omega Christmas....it was a great afternoon....I crossed tons of people off my Christmas list and William had a blast looking at everything....I had to put him in the baby bjorn towards the end because I needed his bassinet stroller for the packages! HA! He is such a good shopper! Afterwards we met dad for dinner and had a great evening out as a family.....
I think that brings us to Thanksgiving....which was fantastic.....I love going to Shreveport and hanging with family and friends! We celebrated Grandpa's 80th birthday with a Surprise breakfast, had a delicious Turkey Dinner at mom and dad's, cheered on the Tigers for a win over Arkansas (which makes me so happy - especially since my Poppy is a big Razorback fan!!!!) Overall, it was so fun!
We are now back in Dallas ready to chill and live life again....we are decorated for Christmas....presents are wrapped...William is enjoying the lights around the house...we are soaking up precious moments with William and sweet Grace....loving our life together and trying to remember to slow down sometimes....
what do y'all have going on???
here are some pics....in absolutely no order....some good...some not so good...that's life:)
Whew.....I now feel better....like I have caught you up on life....thank goodness....hope you enjoyed the pics and then I promise....I will be better about blogging:)
