(P.S.- check below and under Forey Fotos for updated pics!)

Happy Birthday Mommy

I had a wonderful 26th birthday. I spent the day with my son, my Mema, Mama, Hollie & Jaedyn, and Jonathan. We went to Niko Niko's in Montrose for lunch. Ryan got off early so we left the kiddo with Pop and Noni and had a night to ourselves. 1st we went for dinner at Perry's Steakhouse. Mmmmm it was DIVINE! We had the fried asparagus with lump crab meat. I had the lobster bisque and their famous pork chop and Ryan had a phenomenal sirloin and creamed spinach. It was an elegant and relaxing evening for 2..until....we decided to go to the movies and randomly picked to watch "The Soloist." If you get the opportunity to watch that movie...pass! It was loooooooong and drawn out and we had no idea where the plot was headed...then it ended. I'm sure Jamie Fox will get some kind of award for his acting skills...but as far as the movie goes...NOT GOOD.
So...to kill the after taste of a bad movie...we went for marble slab before we headed home (about 10 pm. I know...we are so old!)

It was a grand dinner and dessert before we started our diet. (1 week in and going good so far!!)

This weekend I got my awesome new sewing and embroidery machine which I love...and have been obsessed with since I opened the box. I have been making all sorts of cute little things. I have given myself the project of making the drapes for all the windows in my freshly painted room. I can't back out now..the fabric is already purchased...so will me luck and no mess ups!

In Your Face

For those you who have or are raising a little boy, you know first hand what I am talking about. For whatever reason Kaylon takes much more advantage of his Daddy than he does with me. I handed Kaylon off to is Daddy, armed with a towel, after his bath. All he has to do is dry him off and get him dressed. Not 2 minutes later Ryan comes running in the room holding Kaylon in the air telling me to "get him, get him!" Apparently Daddy wasn't quite quick enough with the diaper because Kaylon let out a full stream that some how landed on his Daddy's face. Needless to say Daddy was not happy, Kaylon went in for bath number 2, and we started the whole routine over again.

Crucified

Its been a while since we last updated. Same as ever we have been busy busy. We decided to start painting our bedroom ( a beautiful shade of "swamp water"). 1st night of painting Kaylon definitely noticed the change on the wall. I couldn't stop him from making his way over to the only painted wall in the room. He put his hands all over the wall and then rubbed the base boards and scratched his nose before I noticed. I came down the ladder as fast as I could and immediately started washing him off. Then I proceeded to touch up the paint and the baseboard. Not 30 min later he was in it again. Silly boy.
Anyway to the point of the story...paining day 2... we were a little more than half way done ( its a big job, our room has 7 TALL walls) and started to clean and pack up to head back to LaMarque. Ryan was about to jump in the shower, Kaylon was on the floor playing, and I started to put the room back in order WHEN I knocked over the nightstand that was holding a hammer. Isaw the hammer and knew it was going to hit my foot. Instantly I had the thought...man that hammer really hurt! I looked down and this is what I saw.


Yes...the hammer had a nail still in it from when we were pulling them out of the wall and some freaky way the nail landed perfectly on my foot and the weight of the hammer pushed it right in. Jesus Christ style. I yelled at Ryan that we need to go to the emergency room. Of course he panicked thinking something was wrong with Kaylon. Kaylon was fine. After Ryan had a double take of my foot the trip to the ER was in full swing. Ryan did a great job of getting us ready and loaded up to head to Baytown. Needless to say...several nurses and even 2 doctors came buy to look at the freak show. They all assumed I was using a nail gun. After I was used as a human pin cushion...I couldn't even feel them take it out. Thankfully it only nicked the bone and wasn't lodged in.

Anyway...we are all better now! I still have a whole in the top of my foot, and some pretty good bruising but that is to be expected after you have a foreign object jammed 2 in to your flesh right?

Happy 26 Birthday Daddy

Saturday was Ryan's 26th birthday and of course...I can never wait to give him his present on his birthday. He always seems to get it the night before. Anyway, I told myself I wasn't going to do that this year, he was going to have to wait. Well, we went to rent a movie for Friday night and they didn't have anything we were interested in seeing so we just went home. After sitting on our thumbs for a little while I let him have his new PS3. He was so excited about it. He has been asking for that crazy thing for awhile. Anyway, Saturday morning we left to go to GG's house. Kaylon spent his first night there with his GG, Aunt Meag, and Aunt B. They took him to the park for the very 1st time. I had never taken him because I didn't want to go with out Ryan. We were in the middle of a movie (I Love You Man...what a GREAT movie!!!) when Britt sent me this picture.

Talk about melt my heart. I was soooo jealous. Anyway, after a bit of shopping and the movie we went to hang out and have a few drinks so we could watch the Texans draft picks, grabbed a hotel and was in bed by 9pm. We slept all night long in the most luxurious bed ever made. (The Hampton Inn is the only way to go. We have stayed at 3 different one's in the past few years and are never disappointed.) Funny thing is even with out the baby Ryan was still up at 5:45 am and I woke up at 7. Go figure. It's not every one's idea of a great time. For our 1st date night since Kaylon was born (yep...7 months) I couldn't have asked for anything better. It was wonderfully relaxing having nowhere to be and nothing important to do and just enjoying each others company. Hopefully we don't wait another 7 months to do it again.

On the move!

Friday night we were packing up to go home to Crosby before we Ryan's birthday on Saturday.We were rushing around like usual trying not to forget anything and hoping to beat the traffic when I looked over at Kaylon and he was CRAWLING!!!!!! My beautiful itsy bitsy teeny tiny baby is now a big boy!!!! He hasn't perfected it just yet but doing more of an army man crawl (where his arms are moving but his legs just drag behind) I was so shocked that I started screaming at him (in a good way) trying to get the camera, but I scared him half to death and he started crying so I couldn't get any good ones. But just tonight at the apartment I was unpacking from the weekend so I put him on the floor and moved his toys just out of reach. I watched for a few min and he would tuck his feet up under his rear and push foreword...then reeeeeach his arm out. He did that over and over until he got to his toys. It was awesome. ( I did get that on video.) 7 months old and he is on the move. I can't believe it.

Snakes...Yikes!

It is supposed to be day 2 of construction on the house, so I wake up in LaMarque this morning get Kaylon and rush off to Crosby to meet the contractor. I arrive and of course he has not yet arrived. I go ahead and pull the car in the garage before I unload Kaylon. I walk around to his door and I hear a hiss. I look over and what do I see???

Not one, but 2 SNAKES! I freak out...get Kaylon in the house and call Ryan. I think to call the fire dept. but the one in the neighbor hood is closed. I call the Baytown fired dept and they direct me to Harris co pest control who ultimately tell me they don't handle that kind of thing..I would need to find someone myself. WHAT? So, thankfully my neighbor was home. His informed me he does not like snakes, but he can sure kill them. That is all i needed so we walk over and he takes a shovel to their heads. Those things are like chickens...still dancing and carrying on with their heads hanging off. We waited about 15 min before he scooped them up one by one and they still snapped at him. Turns out they are highly poisonous Copper Head's. Go figure. Anyway, thanks to my neighbor they are dead and gone. Oh, and I am still waiting on the roofers. Ha.
