UPDATE!!!!

My happy little family

Cory !!!

***UPDATE***

It has been FOREVER since I last posted!!! lots has happened. Cory is now going to daycare, which is the place I happen work at too. I am so happy I finally decided to go back to work. Things have been so great, it was a bit difficult getting use to not seeing my baby boy 24/7 but we are adjusted now and liking the new schedule!

Next week is Cory's birthday party and I couldn't be any more excited. I went with a cowboy western theme because right now he thinks he is one. He loves horses and cowboys, I guess its the Texan coming out in him. lol We are doing a party at a local park. I rented a moon bounce and I'm gonna get a pinata too. I think I'm more excited to see his reaction to everything.


Cory is learning so much at school. He has learned so many new words and songs. He talks so much now, even though he is a little shy sometimes he definitely is a chatterbox.

100th post!

So it has been too long since I posted. This is my 100th post too! so here are some updates:

On saturady Cory and I met up with some of my girlfriends from my high school dance team. We went to the beach. Galveston Beach to be exact. It was Cory's first time at the beach and I was nervous he wasn't going to like it, but boy was I wrong. He loved it. At first he wasn't too fond of the sand, but he got over that quickly. I could hardly keep him out of the water. He loved trying to jump over the little waves coming at us! We are going to make a trip back before summer is over.

Some things cory has been doing lately are:

He copys everything we do. He can say so many words now I don't know how many exactly, but if I had to guess at least 50+. He tries to put his own shorts on. Right now he thinks he is a cowboy. When he goes to his grandma's house he gets on a rocking horse and she will give him acowboy hat. He then says yee-haw, but it comes out like" ahh-haaa". It's too cute to watch.

he's getting closer to 2

Today my little man is 21 months old! that means in just 3 short months he will be turning 2! I can not believe I will have a two year old. Although he sure does act like it these days, the terrible twos have definately kicked in. He is talking more and more everyday. He knows how to push us to the max everyday too. His new favorite thing is WOW WOW Wubzy, a cartoon show on nickjr he loves it when it comes on and will sing the wow wow wubzy song all the time! I really can't believe how fast he is growing up. I wish time would slow down just a little bit. I want to keep my baby a baby! But we all know that won't happen! i am so excited for his future and all the great things we have to come!

Backgrounds and bows!

OK OK I know this is my 1000th and what? background. O well it's my blog so I can do that.

I made these bows for my neice for her birthday tomorrow. She is turning 11. I think I might attach them to a headband or something she loves those things! I was pretty proud of myself I did kinda good for my first time!

My boys!

I just LOVE this picture of my boys showing me thier muscles!!!

I just had to share!

NO More rain PLEASE!!!

The rain has stopped for good I hope. It's already gonna be wet on the 4Th so that sucks! It seriously has rained all weekend yesterday it was non stop raining all day. I looked out our door yesterday morning and what did I see? A stray dog sitting on our mat hiding from the rain and thunder. i of course couldn't let him in I don't know what he was like, but I did let him hang out on my doorstep all day. I even gave him a hot dog I felt so bad.

Happy 4th of July

Its hurricane season again!

I hate that it is hurricane season again. I think I'm starting to have hurricane Ike flashbacks!!(being that I was almost 9 months preggo and had to evacuate, boy was I scared I was gonna go into labor) Just kidding, but it does make me think of it. Hurricane Alex is here well not where I am, but in Texas. I'm happy it's not gonna hit us here in the southeast. We sure are getting some rain though. I guess this year's 4th of July is gonna be a wet one! So much for fireworks huh?

My 1st Top 2 Tuesday!

1.So I love undomestic momma's blog! I have decided to join in on the fun of top 2 tuesday. So here it goes.

Top 2 Things (not people) you would take to a deserted island

1.

An ipod (not that I have one already) But if I knew I was going away to a deserted island i would definately want to take some music with me!

2.

A camera I would love this kind but this isn't the camera I have. A lot of places can be really beautiful and I would love to show my family where I was and what I did.

New Favorite Show!

We have been watching this new hilarious game show in our household. Wipeout is so funny to watch. Contestants have to get through this crazy obstacle course in the shortest time. They have a coupe of rounds and we are cracking up laughing throughout this whole show. I would like to go on it just to really experience it. It come on ABC at 8/7c I think!

Bad Me

I am such a bad blogger. I just haven't had anything exciting or even felt up to posting the past week.

We all had a great father's day and the day before was my honey's birthday. He is now 22! WOW we seem so much older than that. yesterday my lil wasn't feeling too good. He has had a runny nose fora week or 2 now but I've been giving him his allergy med. Well yesterday as soon as we woke up he spit up a bunch of spit and flem(SP). then I gave him some Gatorade and shortly after that came up too. But he is definitely back to his self again today. I 'm so glad!!

I will get back into the swing of blogging more. I need to take some pics to post. O how I love posting pictures. Heck I just love pictures in general!!!!!

New Look!

Okay so I just got a new look on my blog. Thanks to LeeLou blogs. She has such cute backgrounds on there and the best part is they are free!!! I so wish I could do things like that! It is definately gonna take some time to get used to because everything is switched around! Hope you like it!

potty training...

So an update on the potty training that Mr. Cory has been doing. I really still can't believe that he has been going to the potty. He has led the way this whole time! He will even tell me when he needs to go sometimes. So I think he is really getting the hang of this. I usually put him on it in the morning after he wakes up (he goes), mid- morning after breakfast and snack (he usually goes), before nap (he goes), after nap, and well you get it. I am so surprised how good and comfortable he is with it. Although it doesn't surprise me, he likes going in the bathroom when his daddy is in there. I guess he figures he can keep him company. LOL :) I still need to go get him some pull-ups because trying to put a diaper on while he is standing up is a little difficult. My goal is to have him potty trained by the time he turns TWO- which is in 4 months!! Well i better see if he needs to go potty now! LOL J/K :)

weekend re-cap

On Saturday we went to my 2 nephew's graduation party at my parents house. When we were there one of the grown-ups set up a homemade slip-n-slide. It was such a big hit with all the kids. they loved it, especially my little rascal. He had so much fun running and sliding with all the other kids. then they let him have the water hose. He kept spraying everyone as they were sliding down it. I don't think he let go of that hose the whole time he was on that thing. when we got home he was so tired and was fast asleep a little early that night. I love summer days like that where you can just sit and wastch all the kids have so much fun. kinda brings back memories of when you were a kid doing the same thing.

He loved being in charge of the water hose

more sliding

What????

I can't believe it my big boy did it again!!!!! He went to the potty again this morning. I guess he really is telling me he is ready. He said the exact same thing as last night.

My little boy is just getting so big. On saturday he will be 20 months. That is just 4 short months away from 2. What am I going to do? O and let me tell you the terrible twos have kicked in a long time ago (about 5 or 6 months ago).
He is saying more and more new words everyday. He copys everything his daddy and I do. He eats and sleeps pretty good. Its so crazy how time flies.

He's a big boy now!

**Sorry if TMI**

I can't believe that my big boy went poo-poo in the potty!!!! This is like his 3rd time doing it so I am definately going to wal-mart tomorrow to get him a potty chair. We were just sitting down eating dinner ( I know how conveanent huh?) and he was saying, "Mama poo-poo Mama poo-poo" (too cute). So I knew then I had to pick him up and sit him on the toilet and sure enough the big boy went. I'm sorry if this is TMI, but I am such a Proud Mommy!!! :)

Back in Action

I know I have been MIA lately, but the day before memorial day my parents were cooking out at their house for all of us. Well my mom all-of- a sudden got really dizzy and hot. She kept saying the room was spinning. Well to make a long story short Monday evening we ended up taking her to the ER. The Doctors said she has Vertigo. Basically her equilibrium is off balance. We are hoping it goes away very soon.

On better news I won 3 cute Zebra print pillows from All Thing Thrifty's giveaway. I am so excited to get them in the mail.

Swimming Week 2

Today was the 2nd week in a row we went to grandmas swimming. My friend Tay & her lil boy came along with us. We had so much fun, the boys had a blast too. I was trying to layout and get a tan, but got sunburned instead. I'm hurting like crazy now and red head to toe! (OUCH) We are cooling off in this summer heat good I'd say!

Weekend Recap

Saturday- Cory and I went to my friend's son's birthday party. He turned 1. Cory had so much fun she had gotten a moon bounce for some of the kids and surprisingly he jumped in it. After the party we just went home and hung out with daddy the rest of the night.

Sunday- We dragged Daddy to the grocery store (that never happens, so thanks babe for going). then we were lazy for the rest of the day

Although Sunday night right after dinner my poor lil baby vomitted all his dinner up. I don't really know why, he isn't sick or anything. I think maybe he just over ate or something. he is feeling lots better today though!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Swimming at Grandma's house!!

Today Cory & I went over to my parents house to get some sun and go swimming. I had bought Cory the little frog pool yesterday to splash in over there. We had so much fun my cousin and her son met us there. We swam, let the kids play, and had lunch. I think me & Cory are gonna make this a weekly thing. He had a blast as you can see and is sleeping like a little baby now. This Texas heat can really get to a person so I'm glad my parents have a big backyard so my little man can roam around. I can't wait for us to have one our own. Our townhome only has a teeny tiny one and grass won't grow because there's a big shade tree blocking most of the sunlight trying to come through. So thank goodness for my parents yard.

My newest addition to my closet!

Today I made this box to house all my flip flops. I found this crafty project over at http://makeit-loveit.com/. I thought it was cool how she put hers on a shelf so I made this to put at the top of my closet. Mine didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to. i wish i would have had better box cutters and some sand paper to sand down the edges, but I like it for my first one.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

On Saturday it rained cats & dogs here in the southeast. It was kinda nice though because it gave us a reason to stay couped up in the house all day doing nothing, but watch movies. I did get a chance to snap this pretty picture of the Gardenia bush right outside our front door. I love how you can see the rain drops on the leaves.
