Take Me Out to the Ballgame....

Yeah! we went to the Alabama Baseball game last night! We had sooo much fun! We kinda went back and forth on whether to go or not and in the end I decided we should go. We have such a routine schedule every day so every once in a while I try to change it up and do something fun. It doesn't always go well cause J is such a homebody and not a night person that he's not always the happiest in the evening. Well we chanced it and didn't look back. We had a great time! We had hot dogs, cotton candy, nachos, and dippin' dots! I'm so going to have to get a second job to feed this kid when he gets older.(leave it 2 me 2 make this post about food) J didn't care too much for the cotton candy cause he didn't like the stickiness on his fingers. He made friends w/ the dippin' dots lady and she gave him some to try and he wasn't sure about it at first but he liked it after a while! J sat and watched the game and we all had a great evening! At one point I looked over at D and said well is this all you'd hoped it would be?He kinda got a lil' teary eyed (sorry D) and just grinned. I can't tell u how many times we've driven past the baseball stadium and D would say "I can't wait to take my kid there" Then once we had J he would say "I can't wait to take my son there." Last night will probably be one of those memories that I will keep with me always! Now for the pictures , you didn't think I would not have any did you?

Sad News

So we have 2 dogs that we love more than anything in the world D and M. We love them so much but about 6 months ago they got some fleas and so we sent them outside to the backyard where they have stayed since then. We got rid of all the bugs but i've just been afraid to let them back in. Now they've gotten agitated from having to stay in the yard and so now their digging out under the fence argh! 2500 to put in a privacy fence! So I guess what D and I have decided to do is try and find them another home. Their the sweetest dogs but its just not fair to them. We don't get to spend as much time w/ them as we'd like and they don't get the attention they deserve. Here in the next few weeks i'll be making some phone calls to try and see what our options are.... Anyone know of anybody let me know :(

I don't Wanna Work, I wanna bang on the drum all Day

This past weekend was great! We had lots going on but it was fun... beautiful weather I might add. Saturday J and I met a friend of mine and her little girl at the park and had a wonderful time. We took advantage of the gorgeous weather and put the kids in their bathing suits and let them play in the water fountain. It took them both a while to get used to the fountain but once they figured out it wasn't going to hurt them:) they had a ball. Only wish is that they had the area enclosed so I didn't have to keep chasing J around. I really wish Tuscaloosa had a big water park for toddlers and kids that was enclosed so you could just let your kids run around and play. All the parks around here are not really for toddlers and their all always so crowded. The rec center pool has stuff for kids but my goodness its so crowded its ridiculous! maybe I just need to talk D into putting a pool in our backyard;)...... OK enough complaining for now. Also last post I told you about this tray I got for J. Well we used it out this morning and he did great. He ate his oatmeal creme pie and watched his cartoons and did great! I now know what I'm going to be giving out as gifts to little kids! FUN! I'm going back to the fun store today for more baby gifts!

Now I'll leave you with pictures:

J w/ his Friend L

Pardon the oatmeal pie all over it.... Isn't it so cute:)

Here I Go Again on my Own....

Yea its Friday!!! Almost 5!!! YIPEE!! So no big plans this weekend. Tonight we have family coming in, Saturday D is working and J and I are going w/ friends to the park 2morrow to play in the water since its supposed to be 85 degrees! I better put some sunscreen on my little pale baby:) His legs look like his mommys (poor thing) I hope he isn't like me and can tan... Sunday we might be going home for Decoration, haven't decided yet we're just going to play it by ear. No matter what we do i'm just looking forward 2 having my son w/ me .....
Side note: a co-worker and I found a kids store here in Tuscaloosa that we're in love/obsessed with! They have the cutest things and even better their prices are cheap and even better monogramming is included w/ everything! We've already been twice this week. I bought J this really cute tray w/ a dog on it and his name. Of course I don't have my camera w/ me so i'll take a pic this weekend and post it Monday! Stay tuned
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and stays cool!

Amazing Grace

I wanted to add another thing that J is saying... J says "Aunt D" .. not that she threatened ahem I mean reminded me to post this :) luv ya D

*Personal Note:

Thank you god for all that you provide. I'm always in awe of what a great and mighty king you are. Those moments where you wonder how your going to make it through and then BAM! he provides. I shouldn't be shocked but yet I still am. Thank you god 4 always protecting me and comforting me in times where I might forget (eek) that you always will take care of my family and I. I sometimes stumble, sometimes fall but you always pick me up and brush me off... thank you ... How great is our god!

Sorry I know this post is all over the place but just thought i'd show off a shirt i'm in love w/:

Just another Manic Monday

This morning I was scrambling to get everything packed so we could leave. Of course i'm running late as I am every morning. Well i'm packing J's bag for daycare and the fridge is open (mistake 1). of course J comes in the kitchen and starts playing in the fridge(mistake 2) next thing I hear is BAM! Never a good sound. I lookdown at the floor see my jug of strawberry Kool-Aid which means RED is on the floor w/ kool-aid spewing out. AWESOME! So I hurry 2 pick J up so he won't soak his clothes, throw hand towels down to soak up what I could. Needless to say I used probably 30 handtowels. If your wondering why I didn't use regular towels, I didn't have time to get those. This kool-aid was moving at the speed of light. of course i'm running late so I don't really have time 2 clean it up. So when D gets home this afternoon he'll have a sight to see. I can only imagine the questions he will think of when he sees our kitchen floor covered in hand towels:) Just another manic monday:)
