A Sunday outing!

2011-01-31T10:25:00.004-06:00

We had a super fun Sunday outing to the Heard Museum! soooo pretty even with the trees missing their leaves!

The boys LOVED the dinosaurs mainly, after a few screams!

This place was awesome! I will be going to shoot here soon :)

Hendrix actually gave me a smile :)

There was a lot of "come on" bubba, it was so sweet to watch them walking around, totally realized how big they are getting :(

Big boys!

Trex! scary!

sweet moments!

Jax was a tad confused.. im not sure he knows what outside is!

60 degrees in January.. yes please!

2011-01-26T22:56:00.003-06:00

So fun to have weather you can play in.. and Jax being big enough to run around was so much fun! I am so looking forward to spring!

we checked out our tree!

Hendrix was taking pictures of me :)

Im so excited about how much we can do out here!

Bring on the spring!

Still not that great at this am I:(

2011-01-24T11:46:00.005-06:00

OK so what have we done.. not much.. the boy shave had sniffles and we have had some down time at home or hanging with mimi :) Shes set to go back next week for her next to last treatment! while I think everyone is excited its still a long road.. there will be surgery, radiation, surgery...But she is doing GREAT and looking GREAT!

Jax did get a BIG haircut! we got one and it just didnt look right so we went back and they made him super cute! and um grown up... I'm not ready for this!

Boys in my House

There are boys in my house - and Spiderman shoes
And 200 papers in various blues.
There's Bob (he's a builder) and Thomas the Train,
There's a fireman coat to wear in the rain.
They have cars on their shirts and frogs on their hats
There's a glove and a ball and a red plastic bat.
There's dirt on a face and a smudge on a nose;
Grass stains on knees and sand between toes.
There's bathtime at night with bodies to scrub,
And when we're all done there is dirt in the tub!
There's bandaids and bruises and curious bumps,
There's smiles and laughter and sometimes there's grumps.
There's odors most icky; there's boogers so green
There's more yucky things than I'll ever get clean.
There's piles of laundry; there's stories at night;
There's bedtime and bathtime and dinnertime fights.
There's cars and there's trains and there's books about trucks
There's Scoop, Lofty, Dizzy, and Travis, and Muck.
Sometimes there are bugs, and sometimes there are frogs;
Sometimes they are lions, or dinos, or dogs.
There are cute little vests and darling neckties
Dragged right through the mud - oh what a surprise!
There's running and climbing and jumping and falling
And laughing and crying and hugging and brawling
And rolling and losing and finding and creeping
And whining and stealing and sometimes there's sleeping.
There's tantrums and time outs and extra loud noise -
There's love in my house shaped like two little boys.

My Babies!

2011-01-03T10:13:00.003-06:00

I now have an almost 4 year old and a 1 year oldish.. Life is definitely easier than this time last year.. Jax was a challenge to say the least.. but hes such a snuggler and talker.. and so busy.. ALL THE TIME!

Hendrix had a fun year! He LOVES the country, loves the animals.. and for sure all the space!

He took up soccer which could have gone better, but it was fresh air.. he started a new school which Im pretty sure he loves, he just isnt so keen on going.. I see a pattern! above all they have both grown up so much, you can have conversations with Hendrix and he talks more sense than me half the time!

Im so proud of my boys.. and pretty proud of us for all we accomplished in 2010! These were the highs of course! The lows, well were pretty low, watching mimi start chemo, papaws surgery, Heres definitely hoping that 2011 is kinder to our families health!

Hello 2011.. its me the USELESS blogger!

2011-01-03T09:46:00.006-06:00

Catch UP part ONE - the house!

So here we are in 2011 and I havent posted in probably ohhhh 6 months! This is ridiculous I was so good at it! Poor Jax its like we have nothing to say about him! :(

So heres a recap!
2010!
We bought our NEW home and built it.. may have been why I didnt have much time :( We bought it framed, we have AC, Electric, Plumbing put in, then it was sheetrocked in June. This was huge!!!

It was crazy to see it come together and look like a home! we were so excited and it all seemed worth all the work.. the living in 500 sq ft, the heat .. oh my god THE HEAT!

Next up was to get the inside put together and looking like ours!

Cabinets, appliances, Tile, wood floors! Looking back at these pictures I cant even imagine that we did as much as we did! (although there is still lots left!)

So here we are ALMOST a year later ,we are moved in, but still MUCH to do! more trim, lots of painting, some flooring and we havent even started on Kents man cave! We LOVE the space and adding another huge room is going to be nuts! one day we will need furniture!

Day 1 part 2

2009-12-24T15:09:00.001-06:00

My phone got all screwy on my last post and lost a bunch ugh so now I have to write it again but what else am I doing .... Right :)

So where did I get to? Oh yea Roswell, we stopped at mcds (yes again) to change diapers etc, when I came out of the bathroom it had starts to snow..... Wth where did that come from???

So then we try decide whether to keep going or not?? We decide to keep going as it may get worse if we spend the night and then we would be spending christmas in Roswell which while appealing, was not what I wanted to be doing THIS Christmas!! Lol

So we plow on I drove which is why there is a lack of pictures of the snow I saw. We were only about 100 miles from where we were stopping and so figured alamogordo was desert so it had to get better at some point right????

It did get better then it got lots worse. We stopped at the top of some mountain, in ruidoso? I think. I run into a hotel and the guy there even said we should keep going as it would get better and otherwise we may get stuck there. So here we are 40 miles from alamogordo wondering when the heck the cars were going to randomly stop spinning in the street???

So Kent took over and we headed down a mountain full of snow it was 23 degrees and we were accompanied by lots of 18 wheelers ... Joy.

After the scariest 30 miles of my life squeezed into the back with my babies we got to Alamogordo yeee-frickin-haw a nice hotel, clean babies and a bed....goooood night

2009-12-24T13:23:00.001-06:00

Posted from the road, gotta love iPhone and best camera for making pretty pictures :)

First stop macdonalds for breakfast a little later than planned oh well it's vacation right :)

We followed this guy for about 3 hours I'm sure he was freaked out but there's not much going on out there lol, we saw a whole lot of nothing for a very long time Texas is not a very pretty place... Not that way anyway.

My smiley boy, they both did so well, Jaxson smiled, ate and slept for the most part!

Hendrix ate, watched Thomas and slept and asked to go home to the puppies poor thing its the first vacation might remember so I hope it's a good one.

The boys sat and watches movies I'm pretty sure Jaxson was trying to watch too :)

A time for giving...

2009-12-16T13:31:00.003-06:00

Every year we adopt an angel from the Frisco ISD Angel program. Even in this tough times this year was to be no exception. Our angel is a 14 year old boy .. Hard to buy for on a budget! Gave me an insight into christmas' to come and kinda scared me! LOL

I have done this since Hendrix was just 8 months old and each year we take pictures with our angels gifts so that he can look back and remember, just one of our christmas traditions :) This year Jax was initiated and well.. as with most things.. he hated it! LOL or he was just pissed about being taken out of the nice warm car... its all about giving dude!!!

Here we are again!

2009-12-09T06:05:00.005-06:00

We got a Family picture.. I am still a little shocked!!

My happy boys! They both have these crazy eye lashes! Its not fair that the 3 men in my life have these and I do not!

While I could apologize all day long, the truth is I have been waaaaaay too busy! Thats good right.. right?? But things are slowing down and I am about ready to do christmas before it comes and goes and I dont even notice it :(

My boys are awesome! Hendrix is an amazing big brother.. which we knew! and Jaxson is coming out of his colic yukky screaming funk :) Hes starting to coo and talk and smile! Oh the smiles! I love them! I taught Hendrix to tell him "Agggoooooooo" yesterday and Hendrix loves the response he gets! :)

Its hard to believe hes already 2 and half months old! Apart from some struggles with different formulas it seems we have found one we like and that agrees with him and its made a huge difference! Go figure its almost twice the cost of the others.. I think he may be high maintenance!

Bring on the christmas time! :)

Good morning baby brudder

2009-10-14T09:56:00.001-05:00

Hendrix loves his baby "brudder" every morning he says good morning, and night night. Last night they went to bed at the same time in "their" room and baby Jax did so good sleeping in their until 12.30 :) then he came back to my bed :)

Jax is doing pretty good loves to eat sleep poop and complain, he's a little more vocal than Hendrix but just fine once he gets food in his mouth.

He had his 2 week appointment yesterday and is gaining very well, he was born at 8 3 left the hospital at 7 9 and yesterday was up to 8 7 I guess his yelling to be fed is paying off lol

My snuggly baby

2009-10-07T05:52:00.001-05:00

Jaxson is one of the most snuggliest babies :) wrap him in a warm blanket or swaddle him and he's set :) he will inch his way toward your neck if he's laying on you and fall asleep there it's so sweet.

Jaxson Kincade Scott

2009-09-30T04:22:00.001-05:00

Jaxson arrived yesterday at approximately 12.45 weighing in at 8lbs 3oz and 20 inches. He has a bunch of blonde blonde hair and yes mamma was very surprised:)

Hendrix has met Jax but there was so much going on yesterday that he was busy with his cousins and family so I'm hoping he will come back up today and be able to meet him again.

He's eating like a champ latching all on his own he fed about 3 times yesterday at good intervals which I was very happy about. Since I'm still not able to get up or move too much he went to the nursery at about 10.30 last night, I told them his next feeding could be formula (for nightime) then to bring him to me, I still haven't seen him and it's 4.15 am so here's hoping he already has his days and nights down :)

So happy to see that belly gone and happily equipped with my binder I'll be excited when I can move around just a little more :)

Not sure why this us upside down?? Lol

Welcome to our world Baby Jax I hope it's good to you.

Family day

2009-09-29T00:13:00.000-05:00

Today we got ready and headed out for a yummy breakfast at ihop and then to the mall to finish making brothers bear. We had to pay a visit to Thomas at barnes and noble and I'm pretty sure he would have stayed there all day.

It's like playing "where's Hendrix" lol

Then it was home for a nap, while I went and got some pampering in :)

Tonight my sweet boy came and told me " night mamma" grabbed his blanket, took daddies hand and looked back and said "bye mamma" :( oh my my heart almost broke.. Little do you know babe... Your whole world is going to change and you don't even know it.

To My Little Boy

2009-09-28T08:20:00.004-05:00

So tomorrow we go to the hospital to have your Little Brother, for weeks I have been very torn about this whole event, looking for reassurance that everything will be ok, that we can manage 2 children, that you will be happy with this choice to expand our family. I see other kids with siblings and think they can do it!, I know we will be fine and you will love him as we do.

While I know the transition will be tough, probably for all of us, I know in the years to come it will become easier, and despite petty fighting and disagreements I am sure you and your brother will be the best of friends, sharing laughs and playtime, I can only hope he has your sweet laugh and sense of humor (which I am pretty sure came from Daddy!)

When hes One and can start playing with you and chasing you , you have soo many toys to share, and you can show them all to him :) play cars with him, explain the workings of Thomas and Mickey Mouse! Tell him about Christmas, and Easter and all the fun times.

When hes 5 you will be going to BIG school and can come home and tell him what its like, I know he will miss you each day as you go about your big boy things.

When hes 10, well.. you may not want much to do with him.. I mean you will be 12! Who wants a 10 year old around!

All I can say is that I hope and pray that one day you can stand at each others weddings as each others Best Men, and say that he is your BEST FRIEND, and have a bunch of fun, emotional and exciting stories to share :)

I love you baby :)

A boy, some tokens, and an EMPTY Peter piper pizza

2009-09-28T00:32:00.001-05:00

I thought today would be a good day to put aside baby/momma of two fears and have some fun with my boy.

After school we headed to PPP with our coupon for a free mini pizza in hand and some money for tokens.

After realizing it was in fact open we ran in and Hendrix was in kiddie heaven.

First there was a lap with button pressing and "momma light" " momma truck" etc before he even wanted money...( I love this button phase).

Once that was over we needed tokens, well we found a spiderman car so he had to ride it

"faster spidey faster"

Then it was time for the slightly faster merry ground.... Mam those make you dizzy.

While we were there we talked Wendy into bringing Leighton to play 2 toddlers and a whole place to run free.... Awesome

Leighton liked spiderman too :)

All in all it was fun for both kids :) and I think the mommas even enjoyed it (and the pizza) a little :)

Balloon festival

2009-09-28T00:20:00.001-05:00

While on the way home from mims we noticed A LOT of balloons in the sky, then I remembered it was the balloon festival.

So I show Hendrix look balloons, then I see them get closer and closer and then think wait a minute that ones landing.... In that neighborhood. So we make a sharp left, I want to seee.... And what do we find....

A balloon landing on an open lot...

After realizing that others were interested and we could go near it we got out and investigated, hendrix loved it.... A balloon as big as an airplane???!! Pretty cool :)

2009-09-28T00:13:00.000-05:00

Yup .... That's what a 100 degree fever looks like, so after my drs appt we went over to Hendrix's dr to get him checked out. No flu, just a yucky viral something. Obviously the worst part of that day was the nasty flu test swab they ram up your nose.... No fun at all :(

Date night with momma :)

2009-09-28T00:10:00.001-05:00

When daddy works momma and Hendrix get to go to the mall and have date night :) we started with trains at barnes and noble

Then chicken nuggets, hendrixs favorite, and while he finished them off we got some shopping done:) we both had fun and I know soon evenings like this will mean even more as they will have to be planned a lot better to make time for just me and my big boy :)

Mimi has lots of puzzles, we don't so I was super shocked when I learnt how clever Hendrix is. We bought out new shape and other puzzles to see if he was just doing them from memory, he put them together in no time while telling you each shape or animal. Momma was so proud :)

2009-08-30T22:50:00.001-05:00

Hendrix has become very interested in the kitchen, he has a little stool so he can see what I'm doing, but for big jobs Luke brownies he has to sit on the counter, it's gets messy lol but tastes sooo good :)

Then we waited... And waited.... At 5.13 little Lucas was born at 9lbs 1 oz yea I know holy moly..... He's big healthy and beautiful and that's all that matters :)

Bye bye fishies :(

2009-08-12T23:16:00.001-05:00

Yesterday marked the end of Hendrixs fish, as I sat in the living room and heard an almighty "whoooosh" I knew what had happened, it was what daddy had said would happen :(

I found Hendrix soaking wet(ewwww) wet rug, and immediately thought .... Where are the fishies. Well those of you that know me know that I am not one to bond with nature. So as I grab up the fishies (double ew) and get them in water, I'm impressed they are still alive. I clean the tank and decide a few hours later to put them back in. Later that day I have one sunk fish and one floating fish.... Very confusing??

As of today the tank and pump were still in there, part lazy part noise for Hendrix, well today I decided we would get no more fish .....

Hendrix decided to wash his bubble equipment... Bubbles and water pump = mucho bubbles... Needless to say the tank is gone ... And he got to sleep fine with no noise go figure ...

2009-08-06T23:27:00.000-05:00

Our song is "you are my sunshine" the other day he woke up, pointed at the window and said " momma sunshine" so I opened his blind and watched as he told his baby bopp about cars and trees :)

His imagination is amazing, his mind is always working, hes such a thinker and so tenderhearted I love it.

I wonder how mr J will be, I want him to be the same, but I know that won't happen, so I just hope he is as charming and as loving as his big brother (and he gets all of that from daddy). It's going to be a blessing to be surrounded by such love and umm testosterone lol

Baby Belly Update!

2009-07-06T11:18:00.004-05:00

I keep going back and looking at where I was this time last time with Hendrix and figured today maybe I should write something about this one.. so i can look back one day and say.. Oh I remember that.. LOL

Well here we are 26 weeks, its the height of summer well at least I hope so.. we just got a break with 90 something degrees instead of 100... This last weekend was 4th of July and we celebrated in 102 weather.. I think I am crazy! although the nice part this time is the tan! that feels pretty good this time.. helps with the roundness!

So at 26 weeks I am up approx 10-11 pounds which I LOVE! I am assuming being as the baby is taking up some of that maybe hes eating away at other fatty areas! :) Hes about 2.5 pounds, and 14 inches long. I have another sono and appt next Wednesday so we will know more then, but hes growing good and kicking nicely.. hes certainly a mover! So I guess Hendrix is my musical one maybe this one is the dancing one! LOL

We have a name too... Jaxson Kincade! I am so excited, Hendrix calls him Baby Jax, and seems to have a good idea of what is going on, I have become addicted to baby shows, babies, pregnancy, delivery.. anything.. which may not be the best idea right now, but its good conditioning for Hendrix. He watches too and comes up and says to my belly.. "Baby Jax in here".. (or in dere) and loves on it and tries to look in my belly button. It makes me laugh that when he sees the baby born on TV and its all yucky and screaming he will say " awwww want baby" LOL hes such a lover!

We had started to try potty training with no luck :( he is wearing pull ups and will GO potty, but not GO if you know what i mean! hes got the routine down, we are just waiting on the motivation to actually do something.. but he has time!

Here is Baby Js most recent pic.. and it seems he may not have gotten the big head scott gene! which was my very first realization that this kid might look like me! :) Hendrix is ALLLL daddy, pretty eyelashes, curly hair and all.. maybe Baby Jax will come out with some nice dark hair! :)

Happy Fourth of July!

2009-07-04T12:17:00.004-05:00

So today we headed to our neighbourhood pool for the 4th of July parade.. with about 20 other people.. it was a small intimate affair! LOL Hendrix enjoyed the Fire trucks and water, and also swimming with Jilly but I think hes ready for Mimi and Papaw to get home and to see all his cousins this afternoon :) After his nap we will be off for part 2!! Happy 4th everyone!

Our weekend!

2009-06-15T22:56:00.004-05:00

HA I say our weekend.. and I really just mean SUNDAY! I had a wedding in Commerce Texas on Saturday which left me a little sore and tired on Sunday but that didnt stop me getting out to see Barney! OH YEA! for the record.. I cant stand Barney, Hendrix doesnt watch it at home.. but hey hes 2 and thats what they do right! :)

Anywho! He loved it.. I think.. he looked a little overwhelmed.. but still smiled a little!

Worst part of the weekend: Wished I could have slept later while Hendrix was gone on saturday morning :(

Best part of the weekend: A great Afternoon with Mimi and Hendrix while Papaw and Daddy finished up the floors, they look awesome and we got to go shopping (and see Barney) how bad is that! :)

Most random part of the weekend: Ending up on a dirt road on the way to commerce.. darn GPS lady!

People I saw this weekend: About 350 people at a wedding.. if that counts, Mimi and Papaw (everyone else bailed ;) ) and swimming with our new neighbors on Friday evening :)

Something I wished I did this weekend that I didn't get around to doing: Theres always something.. have you seen my to do list!!!

Things that I am looking forward to this week: Fathers day with Daddy and a big wedding on Saturday.. also right now.. 2 days off.. off as in at home.. obviously that will involve working but I wont have to get out of my PJs!

Things that I am not looking forward to this week: The heat... its coming :(

Moving along!

2009-06-14T09:53:00.003-05:00

The summer is going and I am still standing.. yea yea yea.. we havent quite reached 100 degrees yet and for that I am thankful.. although we have had some pretty crazy storms, which leave us with some great humidity ...yum!

The baby is doing great, I have realized i have blogged a lot less about this baby, and I am going to try to pick up the pace as its the only record I have of a pregnancy being as I dont really write anything down and all i have to go by later is what Kent tells me, which I am guessing this time will not be favorable! Granted its been a little tougher this time, but right now I am pretty comfortable (besides the heat) and fairly full of energy. The heat I am sure will get to me soon, and I just have to think I only have like 14 weeks left.. thats not much... right??

As of right now the stats of baby 2, hes almost 12 inches long, about a pound (we will find out for sure on wednesday he may be more!) his ears are formed, he can hear us, hes making poop.. YAY! and man is he moving.. I do appreciate his sleep pattern though it seems that he is active during the day, says goodnight at about 11 or 12 and then wakes me up at 8 :) lets hope he keeps that up!

Names... Hmmmm I have my favorite, we just have to convince daddy its worthy.

Hendrix.. is very cute with him, he kisses my belly and then tell you baby is "in dere" and points to my belly button :) too cute!

Summer fun

2009-06-09T12:14:00.003-05:00

We had a fun Monday yesterday! I hope we get to do this so much more this summer.. but we went to visit a local splash park with a few little friends! Hendrix loved it and consumed most of the water.. no wonder he had VERY wet diapers all day! LOL

We started with some toast outside, he loves to be on the back patio .. and he just say and listened to the lawnmower behind us mowing the big field.

Then we went and met Missy and Miley, and Leighton and Landen with their Mimi for some water fun, it was great for his age and I know we will be going back!

We ended making cakes, and grilling.. and he had a much needed bath! I never remember to take my camera in there but yesterday i did and he loves his bath time :)

Fathers Day is coming!

whats up!

2009-06-03T12:08:00.002-05:00

Hmmm I guess its been a quiet week.. we have laid low while momma works for a few days and I was sure Hendrix would be sick of watching cars but apparently not!

Still waiting on his eye drops to come in, I am really hoping these things make a difference in his walking and balance, or maybe we just need to realize hes going to be clumsy.. NO idea where he gets that!

I had another busy weekend with weddings and shooting, so Hendrix chilled with daddy most of the weekend. He got a new TV (its in our room - but it may as well be his!) so he got to watch his favorites bigger than before.

Baby #2 is doing great, kicking and kicking some more.. I am trying to monitor when hes really awake as i know it can dictate sleeping patterns when they are born.. i am wondering if I just need to lay down more during the day and trick him! LOL

4 more weddings in June and then we are DONE til baby comes.. then the nesting and the painting and the getting everything ready can start! under 4 months til hes here now.. and i am hoping sometime between now and then it all sinks in.. for all of us!

Weekend Wrap UP

2009-05-28T14:01:00.002-05:00

Courtesy of Charlottes Blog.. just so that people get off my back about blogging :)

Worst part of the weekend: Wedding far far away, and this PG chick apparently has a new fear of driving to far places.. it was actually a super fun wedding and I had lots of fun photographing those jokesters!

Best part of the weekend: That it lasted til yesterday :) with my schedule I dont get a weekend persay, I get MAYBE a Sunday and a Monday.. and of course kent is back at work on Monday, well this week he took off until yesterday, so we had a quiet day Monday swimming and then grilling with friends.. and then Tuesday the Zoo.. and yesterday our 20 week sonogram, and Kent got to see Star Trek.. It was nice to spend so much time together.. even if i am pregnant, tired and moody..I am sure Kent loved every minute!

Most random part of the weekend: an impromttu visit from great friends for some GOOD food!

People I saw this weekend: My kiddie and my hubby, Kristy, Aaron and their little one, Jenny and Jilly went swimming with us.. and oh.. do i count the 200 people at the wedding?

Something I wished I did this weekend that I didn't get around to doing: Everything else on my to do list.. but i was determined to take time off damn it!

Things that I am looking forward to this week: It was my Drs appt, sort of.. always nice to see Captain Beefheart, but i hate the scary sonos.. where they may tell me something is wrong :( but it was all good!

Things that I am not looking forward to this week: trying to catch up with work.. its a spinning circle I tell you!!! and another full weekend.. Kent needs some more time off, so i get to see him! LOL

Mothers Day

2009-05-11T08:18:00.004-05:00

I love Mothers Day, dont get me wrong I am pretty well spoiled most of the year, but Mothers Day is a day I let myself sit down a little longer, sleep a little longer or just take a break from work.. because... well i deserve it! :)

We had a great day, starting with laying in bed wondering exactly HOW late H was going to sleep.. 9.. 9.30... 10.. finally after getting up to make coffee, watching some news, a sleepy eyed H arrived with a handful of cards and a little bag for mamma :) as he walked in he was reciting.. "present for mamma" and trying hard to say Happy Mothers day.. I got the idea and it was too cute!

We had a little breakfast and cleaned up and headed out to Mimis for lunch. There was a rowdy bunch there, but H loved it.. gave out his gifts for Mimi and Nana.. and settled in to playing cars with pappaw.

After Lunch Kent and I headed to the outlet mall :) that was my idea.. :) we managed to get around the whole thing in 2 hours and didnt spend toooooo much money, although Kent helped me go over my budget.. and some how I only came home with 2 shirts and a pair of shoes.. everyone else did so much better! oh well.. Im a little harder to dress right now!

We headed home about 7 and Kent started on some laundry and vacuuming :) this I was very thankful for! :)

All in all I had a great day, nice and relaxing and I certainly felt appreciated :) Now its back to the real world.. although thats not too bad either :)

Just in case..

Big Brother in training...

2009-05-08T11:26:00.002-05:00

So I always think April has SOOOO much to write about and that I guess I just keep all the cute things Hendrix does to myself.. but this was TOOO cute!

I am cleaning up in the kitchen and Hendrix comes in.. ( I will write like April does for the Comedy effect)

Hendrix: Momma, hold hand, momma say, where we going

Momma: where we going

Hendrix: Momma walk

*arrive at his bedroom

Hendrix: Momma SIT

*momma sits

Hendrix: Momma Baby....

*he brings me his little baby,

Hendrix: Momma Bear

*Do you see how he starts his sentences.. hes become rather bossy!

He proceeds to bring me his stuffed toys.. he gets a bit stuck on his bunny because it doesnt look like the others.. but when i tell him bunny hes pretty excited to learn its a bunny!

He then decides to put them to bed..

Hendrix: Momma Bear lay down

Momma: Is it naptime?

Hendrix: Yesshh

he puts all his toys to bed on his pillow then looks at the baby again..

Hendrix: Momma Baby poppi (what he calls his paci)

we have recently started having conversations about our paci, and that Poppis are for BABYS! He will tell you too.. you should have seen the lightbulb go off..

* He gets the poppi and trys so hard to get it in the babies mouth and finally decides ..OH LOOK it fits perfect in mine..

at this point I have taken a few pictures and i am posting them.. i walk back around.. and hes climbed in with all of them under the blankets with his poppi..

Hendrix: Shhh Momma.. SHLEeeeepin..

I think hes going to be a great Big brother! :)

Swine Flu???

2009-05-03T12:45:00.002-05:00

Is this what it looks like!?

Nah he just had a fever from teeth.. but man he looked so darn pitiful that you would have thought so! (gets that from daddy!)

Right after his birthday he has had a fever, and some crud, I believe it to be Allergies :( I know i have it, with some crazy headaches :(

This has led to some more two year old like behavior, tantrums and short temper I am of the hope that its all sick related.. but heres hoping that he feels better soon and gets himself back. He slept almost 13 hours last night so maybe he has kicked it :)

Mommies Baby...

2009-05-03T12:42:00.002-05:00

As of yesterday and I am 17 weeks.. signs of a bump and some possible movement is being felt, but Hendrixs favorite part is the Doppler. I will ask him do you want to go hear the baby, and he will nod, say "mamma hand" and take me to the bedroom, we jump up on the bed and hear the baby, he now kisses my belly and says "Hi baby brudder!" its the cutest damn thing! Anyway, I have caught him several times trying to find his baby! I will have to get my actual camera out soon and catch him doing this! this was on my phone.. but too cute not to share!

Birthday Pictures :)

2009-05-03T12:35:00.002-05:00

Hendrix has a great time on his birthday, here are a few of his favorite parts!

For his Birthday gift from us he got this pretty cool bike, with a screen, noises and buttons.. oh how he loves buttons! :)

We did 2 cakes for his birthday, one for his party and another for family which he shared with Cousin MK:) he now brings me the motorcycle and says "Happy Birdy" LOL

For his Birthday we played in Auntie Ls backyard~ Its his favorite place to be I think.. aside from Mummies bed watching Elmo! LOl He had a blast and had dirt in all kinds of places to prove it!

We'rrreeeeee BACCKKKKKK

2009-04-26T10:38:00.004-05:00

Ok so Mommies been very lazy lately! With all these different outlets for internet expression I let my Blog go :( If you know me on Facebook etc.. you should be all up to date! :)

So its been what about 4 months :( man I really do suck! well we now have a TWO year old (as of today) and we also have a little brother on the way for said Two Year old ;)

In this picture hes a bit of an Alien, but I am hoping and praying for a baby that is as laid back and easy as Hendrix, we will see if that happens :)

Today Hendrix turns TWO, Its not as hard as ONE was, Hes just such a little man now, its funny to hear him try to tell me things that I dont understand, but we normally figure it out :) He knows his colors and numbers and can tell you about all the people in his family, his dogs and he has graduated from watching cars to Nemo! :)

"Baby Brudder" is now 16 weeks baked and due for a C Section in October :) Still no name, Daddy is still bitter that Cash has been used already, so we are trying to find something else.. with no luck thus far :( We have asked Hendrix a few times and we just get "Nemo". Saying that he knows that Baby is in mummies belly, hes been too sonograms and he will tell the sonographer "Baby Brudder" and point.. hes understanding it to a point, but we will see when he wants his stuff! :)

So Happy Birthday Little Man :)

Our year in short

2009-01-26T23:07:00.002-06:00

So I have to first apologize for being crap! LOL Its almost the end of January and here we are at 2 posts! I guess I always think there should be a picture, something cute or funny and I never have all 3 so I just dont bother I let people roam to my facebook or tumblr and forget about my stragglers (ok 2 readers) that might venture over here. :)

So so far this year, we have put in hardwood floors, tried to redo our house a little, breath a little life into it to keep us here a little longer! Although in some ways I am ready for the space, I am not ready to pack up and move just yet (let alone go through selling a house!!!!) so we should be here for the majority of 2009 :)

Hendrix is doing great! hes talking and walking alot better trying to run and oh.. climbing.. yea thats the new thing.. on the couch, on tables (little ones) beds, everything.. one thing he does in trouble for.. and only because mommy thinks its dangerous to HIM!

Our first big drs visit of the year was to the EYE Dr! We have thought over time that Hendrix has a lazy eye, sometimes we see it in pictures, sometimes when he zones out.. so we decided to take him to a great Eye Dr! After some drops and some screaming and lots of waiting.. it was decided that until his stye is gone (oh yeah.. he has a stye! ugh) that they would check him later.. they saw some crossed eyes, and werent sure.. but said its ok to wait a few months, and that to correct it he will get glasses, IF we need to do it! HAHA glasses on 2 year old.. Go for it my man!! I dont see it.. but what does mom know! LOL

He also, while at the Drs office, said his first group of words, while he does say "im gonna getchyou" A LOT!!! he actually said something else! .. he saw my keys and grabbed them and said ... "Mommys keys" at first I just said... yes mommas keys.. and then realized how grown up he had sounded when he said it!!! I got home and told Daddy and he said.. oh the other day he said.. "Mommys go to work".. he is growing up WAAAY too fast for me!!! He was also running around tonight saying.. "DOUBLE EWWWWWW" with a "W" in his hand.. we were both impressed with that.. but hey when your kid is trying to learn his name and it as an X in it! "W" is nothing!

So thats about it! he loves his puppies, "Hunnner and Csh Csh" and has recently fallen in love with our neighbour.. she has watched him, spends lots of time with us.. and has even made it onto his night night list! Every "night night" starts with "night night momma, night night Daddeeee, night night Csh Csh, night night Hunnnnner, night night light, night night (whatever else is on the way to the bedroom) and then night night Avvvaaaaaaaaayyyy, shes very honored although after a day with us is considering changing her name.. poor baby! LOL

OH we had Daddys birthday too.. it was very low key with a few friends and very quiet (nothing like the christmas parties) being as we pretty much chose to give up anything fun... everyone went home early and we went to bed .. thats what 33 is like I guess!!! But Im next.. ugh.. 32 I am slowly getting out of the YOUNG thirties.

Another Year!

2009-01-08T20:36:00.003-06:00

Cool Dude!

Thats the new thing! He puts on our glasses and says Cool Dude, when I showed him this picture and said whose that he said.. COOL DUDE! LOL

I finally got some time to do some pictures with Hendrix in a shirt that we have had saved up for a few months! I LOVE it! and his little skull Vans, hes officially cooler than mom and dad.. I guess thats not so bad being as we are old and fat now! LOL its not hard to be cooler than us!

Oh and speaking of FAT christmas was awesome! I am sure there are some pics somewhere of the craziness that went on.. but we got lots of great and cool stuff, Hendrix made out like a bandit from um.. EVERYONE, even those that are 3000 miles away! He had a great time though.. and I cant wait til next year when he understands everything that is going on.

His new word over Christmas was "Santa" but it did get a little embarrassing when he called people checking us out at the store, while pointing and smiling.. SANTA!!!!! LOL Get out of that one!

So Christmas season was busy.. which is why the lack of posts, and now that the christmas craziness is over and the winter blues have set in, we are all miserable! ... nah not really..

Oh and what happens when Sara gets too much time off.. well.. no time off.. we redid our fireplace.. and re did our floors.. there are some pics on my tumblr of those.. (<<<

AS far as Hendrix.. hes actually starting to have moods that represent a real TWO year old.. yea yea I know! It was always going to happen. Hes also saying ALOT.. knows his colors, kind of counts to 10, He recognizes so many things we arent sure where he got the smart gene! LOL We started doing flash cards with him and give him about 5 at a time.. tonight we showed him a cat and asked what it was and he said.. MEOWWW (we dont have a cat.. i dont know how he knows this!) everything else was Book, Bike, Boot, Apple.. then.. MEOW! I am going to try to video it so you can see our genius in action! :)

So thats about it for now..

My new years vow is to update more, pictures or no pictures.. ha I think I have heard that somewhere before!! LOL

Its been a month!!!

2008-12-11T00:37:00.003-06:00

Wow who knew! I have been so busy that I havent had any time to update the blog :( I dont know that I have done much of anything aside look at picture after picture and then.. OH take some more! LOL We have been very blessed this year.. and I have been kept VERY busy!

So work... bla bla bla... no one wants to hear about that! The weather for those in England... we had a few and I stress... few!! flakes of snow fall somewhere in the DFW area last night! Its actually pretty chilly here, it was 43 ish today and it will be 28 again tonight, feels like home!

So Hendrix :) is that what everyone wants to hear about! as always..
I keep getting told hes getting bigger... and I am starting to feel it. Hes completely upright, walking all over.. but sometimes sideways, still thats ok as long as no walls are in the way!
Hes talking up a storm, he knows his colors and its the cutest thing ever, I love hearing.. YERRO, PUUUUUURPLE (i think thats his favorite! =) red, green and blue are all coming out close to normal. He will also come and get you at different points in the day and tell you "Hunry" telling you hes hungry :) "Go Car" is a popular one.. being as it involves leaving and a car! Christmas is already going to be a shower of cars!

His big thing though is we have put up his new car bed, and now he gets a choice.. baby bed or big boy bed, well hes been opting for the big boy bed..and doing very well! He has now slept in there for a nap yesterday, last night, a nap today and is currently in there now... although he just woke up a little while ago.. so i need to go check if hes actually still there. So we may have a cribless baby, Daddy keeps putting off taking it down, I think he is going to miss the baby :(

Theres also alot of big things going on that we need prayers for, people getting laid off, Little MK had her surgery yesterday so we are ready for her to make a swift recovery and get home :( We will all have a thankful christmas!

Now for me to see if I have any pics to share with you...

Oh yea the boy LOVES Elmo.. all we hear is.. ElllMOO and the christmas light is our new mantle pic of him for christmas! :)

thats all I have right now!

2 Little Cousins...

The Trains!!!

2008-10-14T14:04:00.005-05:00

SO here we are! weeks with no updates on Hendrix and what it is he does! well hes walking a little better.. but when he goes down he cant quite figure out how you get back up, apart from.. momma up! LOL

Hes a huge chatterbox.. yea I know, where does he get that from! :) he will sit and talk to you with hand gestures and everything.. he loves to try to count.. he holds his fingers up as he counts too! hes dancing, climbing all kinds! I cant believe hes growing so fast! :(

We were going to try to get some (more) pumpkin pics today and i didnt realize those places didnt open so early.. so we hijacked a little and then I felt bad so we moved on.. and went to Frisco where we found this great train! I may be revisiting the train soon! :)

Poor baby :(

2008-08-31T12:46:00.002-05:00

Well this was apparently a rough week for the Scotts:( I had something on Weds night/ Thursday not sure what, I thought it was food poisoning, but I wasnt so sure but then Friday night I get a text from DH, "dont feel good going to bed" i guess he got it too.. then last night, the worst of them all, my baby had his first BIG fever.. almost 103 :( Between showering and tylenol and motrin and sleeping with mommy and daddy I think we beat it! :) He woke up this morning at 7.30 looking a lot better.. it was still close to 100 but so much better :)

He is up and walking and playing, and as I was getting ready to take a shower I turned the shower on closed the shower door and went in the bedroom to get a towel, H was brushing his teeth on the bathroom floor, 2 seconds later I hear him laughing so hard and go back in there.. hes IN the shower in his diaper just laughing it up:) This resulted in yet another shower with mommy, thats 3 in 24 hours.. LOL The boy sure is clean!

So its off to work today leaving my boys at home and hoping everyone is over everything!

awwwwwwww California!

2008-08-27T22:27:00.005-05:00

CAUTION Adorable boys

2008-08-27T21:26:00.003-05:00

Where have I been you say.. well pretty darn busy! But I do have the Tumblr account that is updated a little more than this, basically because I just take a pic and email it! LOL

http://sarascott.tumblr.com/

Today April packed up her Son, treats, a lunch, some toys and a passport to come and visit us ALLLL the way up here, after picking up her steal of a double stroller! We met up at the studio to do some pics of the boys before they go to school next week :) wait that is a :( for me! I cant believe I am leaving him somewhere.. anyway! LOL

Mason decided he didnt want to get dressed, Hendrix watched as he raced around the room and ran circles around him but at the end of all of it we did manage to get a few pics, they DEFINITELY show their personalities!

Mason Refusing to get dressed! But looking damn cute doing it!

Yup the fountain outside.. ALL the kids end up in this!

After a mini meltdown Mace was back running circles.. yet still not dressed so we decided if you cant beat em join em! and later Hendrix just got top naked too :)

Lets hope they are best friends one day.. being as we have all this incriminating evidence of cute baby pics!

Hendrix stripping down, April was convinced to make him look like a fashionista! with all those clothes hanging around him, this is what he does when you ask him "How big are you?" his answer.. SOooooooo BIG! sooooo freakin cute!

My little charmer! Hes almost saying I Love you :) I cant wait! Hes still giving big kisses and taking a few more steps.. hes getting to be so big :(

A quick one!

2008-07-26T08:52:00.002-05:00

Hendrix loves to look out of the window and I was trying to capture him all thoughtful he turned around at the last minute and gave me a big cheesy grin!

I realized the other day H had been the studio lately.. well hes a little rusty and all he wanted was the BIG duck!

I said it was quick.. but I didnt mean nothing! LOL

Some Video of Hendrix.. YAY!

2008-07-11T15:03:00.003-05:00

So he has HIgh Five down! and now Kent has taught him knuckles! its so cute... but here he is more interested in getting the camera from me.. and sweet talking his audience!

Heres some more.. of Hendrix walking.. Almost.. :)

WOW!

2008-07-09T08:39:00.005-05:00

That was all I could say yesterday when I heard that THE DWeddings issue had come out.. so how did it look, a few calls to Shannan and an email or 2 from Travis and I had a good idea! Then last night I went to have a little celebration with them (as much as you can in Pjs and work out clothes! LOL) which was lots of fun, and got to see it in person! and still was completely floored by the nice things that were written, I am very a lucky girl!

The article is online here D WEDDINGS and also in print (but apparently not in any stores near me!)

YAY!

Happy 4th of July Americans!

2008-07-07T22:39:00.007-05:00

On July 4th I took Hendrix to our little subdivisions "parade" if you can call 20 people walking a block a parade! LOL I wondered if being English I was out of place, but with such a cute little American riding in the stroller who would question me! He got a flag, a popsicle and a tattoo.

Then he spent the weekend with Mimi and Papaw, I swear he goes over there and comes back 3months older! We had a nice time trying to finish our Pergola in the 100 degree direct sun.. and while recovering from some sunburn we got out a little to see friends! Thats always nice.. and I decided its also nice having a baby free vacation at home, I got to swim, by myself.. take naps.. stay out WAY too late! But it was also relaxing :)

On Sunday Mimi and Papaw brought Hendrix back to us with all kinds of new tricks.. a little more walking, and some new words.. Diaper, and now he claims that Papaw is HIS Papaw! Oh so cute.. but he seems he grows to fast when hes gone!

So while hanging and grilling under what is almost a finished Pergola (oh and for those of you that look at me like I am crazy or immediately google it! - A pergola is a garden feature forming a shaded walk or passageway of pillars that support cross beams and a sturdy open lattice, upon which woody vines are trained -straight from wikipedia) we got some new pics of Hendrix which doesnt happen as often as it should!

He has always loved the light switches and now hes upright he can beg you all day long to lift him up so he can say OFF, ON and then point all surprise and yell LIGHT!

Hes also trying on everyones clothes now.. in his own way! I now finding sitting in the closet with underwear around his neck.. NICE!

Daddy got in on the action with some throwing.. he knows how to scare mummy!

Hendrix and his open mouth slobbery kisses! I love them! and looking as sweet as pie! ( I think I have a picture of him a few seconds later crying with the rolled up lip and everything.. I told him off for touching the TV buttons.. mean mummy!

And of course some pics of our other babies.. I know everyone loves to laugh at Cashs feet! :)

The Pergola is started!

2008-06-23T10:41:00.002-05:00

Its going well!

We got 4 posts in without hurting anyone or the house! :) and do you see the fine carpentry skills of my dear husband on those ends! Fabulous I tell you! I have some more pics.. as we have since gotten a few more pieces in.. but that would involve getting them off my camera.. and I have about 50000 pictures to work on for other people.. so when they are done you will see lots more pics!

YAY! Our patio is on the way!

2008-06-21T10:34:00.000-05:00

Swimming with the Cuz's

2008-06-13T09:13:00.002-05:00

Does that even make sense.. Cuz's ??? LOL That reminds me of a funny story when I was younger! My cousin Charlotte and I are pretty close (despite being on COMPLETELY different continents right now!) plus I think its been a good few years since I saw her :( anyway! There was a time when we saw each other alot, and she was this cool older cousin.. (I am sure she still is ;) Anyway I think I aspired to be just like Charlotte! and wished she was my older sister, she didnt have any sisters so we invented the cousin sister crossover.. Sisco (no not like the thong thing!) anyway.. Sisco Sar and Sisco Char! LOL Isnt that what cousins are for, making cool memories which make you in turn help your kids experience to make their own memories with cousins, friends etc.

Anyway! We have been enjoying spending time with all the cousins the last few weeks while they have been spending time with Mimi.. it certainly is fun to get to see them and also to splash.. Hendrixs favorite thing! :)

In his floaty!

Even Papaw came by and Hendrix helped to cool him off! :)

A few pics!

2008-06-13T08:44:00.004-05:00

So I decided it was time to take Hendrix for some new pics! Its been almost 2 months.. can you believe it! Anyway we found a cool field and then a rusted out thing in Frisco :) He did so good though..I cant wait til hes standing and can pose for me :)

I cant believe how fast hes growing! Even though hes not walking or really talking he looks like a little boy already! He sits next to you on the couch, will stand and look out of the window for ages, knows exactly how to make us laugh, and gives the best hugs and kisses ever! :)

An update of sorts...

2008-06-08T18:28:00.004-05:00

I know I know... my blogging skills (on this blog) seem to have gone by the wayside :( I have updated the photography blog alot though. Thats not pictures of Hendrix though, and I know thats what you want! :)

I guess this week I will be taking him to take more pictures.. just not sure what yet..

Anyway, what have we been up to??? WORKING WORKING...am I so blessed to be at home with Hendrix and have the wonderful schedule I have, even in this pretty crappy economy we have right now, Gas reached $4 a gallon, yet people are still making memories. Saying that I had 2 weddings this weekend, I realized on Saturday morning while on the way to the second that I completed 2 weddings in 20 hours!! no wonder I was exhausted yesterday! I had asked Kent last year when I booked this week if he could take the week off.. so this week he stayed home and played momma.. and he got flowers for it too! :) While I am sure there are plenty of things I could have got him that he would have appreciated I am pretty sure he got my intention.. and I think he appreciated it too :) Why shouldnt you give men flowers :) He did get a 6 pack of Dublin Dr P too!

But you arent here to read about me.. The man of the hour is still as wonderful as ever! I swear hes making my friends hate me.. last weekend I had a girls night on Friday got home late, he didnt wake us up on Saturday until 9am :) Saturday night we had BBQ with some friends and stayed up a little late, Sunday he woke up at 10am.. I cant even count on my kid to wake me up early anymore.. bla bla bla I know! LOL He does DO bad things sometimes, eating dog food is the current favorite, playing in the dog water, loves mud ( he is a boy) seems to enjoy making a mess too.. we need to work on that one i think! But for the most part he is a pretty great kid!

Here is working the bills.. I like his method!

Shopping is also something he likes.. thank goodness!~ he gets his chicken nuggets and people watches! :)

He loves to chase Cash, although he sometimes looses track of what hes doing.. he is alot like his dad in that he gets distracted by something shiny.. LOL

We are hoping by this christmas he will be walking enough to start ice skating.. we have to start our future hockey player as soon as we can :)

Bye bye curls!

2008-05-27T22:19:00.002-05:00

Well not all of them! Just a few stagglers and strays! :)

I asked my DH to do Hs hair! I walk in and see him with scissors.. after crying WAIT! and he looked at me all worried I said "I have to get my camera!" LOL So I proceeded to get a few shoots of the curls coming off and then we put the curls in Godmother Caroles little jar :) we even sealed it with super glue so they couldnt get lost! LOL He made me say goodbye to them!

I know there is lots of firsts but first curls are always tough.. and while his appearance has barely changed I know hes growing WAY too fast! :(

An oldie.. I have time for!

My little football player

2008-05-17T00:27:00.010-05:00

OK so hes not ACTUALLY kicking the ball (unless he has ALOT of help!) but he sure is cute!

Teething troubles :(

2008-05-10T09:29:00.003-05:00

This week was a slightly rough one, Hendrix is teething still and while his stomach is doing better you can tell hes still hurting :(

We have been doing the motrin and the orajel and a new product I was introduced to called HurriCaine gel, and yes Amy it is a wonder drug!

Although he did start making funny faces :)

Flashback..

2008-05-07T10:52:00.003-05:00

So I am starting to feel my age I guess you could say! I have recently found a renewed love for my 80s heros!

Who might you ask!

Adam Ant

Hey Mickey!

Boy George

awww and little Tiffany

Dont forget the Thompson Twins

and kajagoogoo!

and roxette.. oh man I have to stop!

YUP I feel 30..

I think I am going to go buy Adam Ants DVD now.. and put it next to Robbie Williams! :)

One Year check up!

2008-05-01T23:45:00.004-05:00

Pic croutesy of MRS Mcnosky images :)

So after all the hoopla of cake and celebrations it was time to head in for our One Year Check up on Tuesday!

It seems like such a huge difference from the 9 month appointment, I was eager to see how he was doing, and hear about the changes we were about to make!

At this appointment we learned that Hendrix is 31 inches(90 percentile for height) 21.5 pounds (25th percentile for weight) and still has a huge head! LOL The Dr was very impressed by him and all hes learned he gave him an A+ and an excellent which apparently doesnt get handed out very often! Of course Hendrix showed off a little, clapping and waving at him! :)

We may go to see a baby eye person (because I cant spell it) as I think he has a lazy eye.. the Dr didnt notice too much but said if we were concerned that we could go.. so we will see! :)

We took them a One year picture too and everyone oooed and ahhhhed and commented on his big eyes, curly hair! He made me very proud! :)

Oh and we also found out that he IS teething, I thought he was I just couldnt see much, because he wouldnt let me! Hes getting his 2 cuspids, they are apparently going to come in "any minute!" and 4 teeth on the bottom.. at the SAME time! yet aside for some waking up and wanting to hug during the day, which is FINE by me, he is just fine and happy :)

Birthday Trip!

2008-05-01T23:35:00.003-05:00

With all the craziness leading to the birthday I had asked Kent if he could take of the Monday after, I knew it would be nuts and it would be fun to have a day to recover. So we slept late cleaned up, and headed to the Aquarium, I think this was Hendrixs third visit! We may need season passes next year! LOL We knew this time he would be soo much more interested.

The point in going on a Monday was that it would be quiet, no crowds.. hmmm we pull into the parking lot and see about 8 school buses.. DARN IT! Walking in there were no lines, as we are paying I notice a sign on the glass that says.. "we are expecting 739 school children today" Sweet Jesus WHAT! OY! well we didnt get there until about 1 so there must have only been about oooo 200 left! so glad we didnt venture there early in the day!

Anyway we had lots of fun, and Hendrix was so much more interested this time, it was very cool to watch!

My baby boy and me!

Hendrix and Daddy, we have this same picture from one of our other visits.. so cute!

Kent took this one and it was so cute, he got very interested in the fishies!

I couldnt help but get a shot in the overhead aquarium, I have some more in the shark one, but they arent downloaded yet! :)

Busy Busy weekend!!

2008-05-01T23:23:00.003-05:00

So I learnt my lesson on first birthdays this week, while I spent days getting ready, doing things around the house, it occured to me on Saturday that there is no point.. and all it does is take you away from your little one! which is why it then changed to being up til 2 each night .. although I couldnt sleep so thats my excuse! LOL

We had a great birthday though, lots of friends and plenty of food.. so much we had 2 rounds of people! LOL but it was so nice to hang out with friends and celebrate Hendrixs birthday, and my BIRTHday..

Hendrix helped a little with getting ready!

By the time his birthday came he had the cake thing DOWN! we had (and actually still have soo much cake!) it was a steal!

he got so many presents he loved, his car, his chair, things that light up and he recently figured out remote controls and what they do, so he even got his first remote control toy!

It was so crazy while everyone was there but we managed to get a pic of the stragglers! ;)

After everyone left he crawled and played outside and surprise the camera was still out!

Happy Birthday Little One

2008-04-26T01:26:00.003-05:00

While the date will say its Hendrixs birthday its VERY late on Friday evening :) I have just been busy doing stuff and realized its now my little boys 1st birthday. It took me until today to really believe it! and each time I say or it or write it down I want to cry :( not in a bad way or a regretful way, just because its soooo true when people say how fast it goes. I have seriously loved every single minute and from the over 100 clips of video and 1500 pictures I started to go through tonight I have great documentation of it all. Kent and I sat and watch some of the video as it loaded on my computer and it really is amazing all the memories we have captured.

The last year hasn't been nearly as stressful, sleepless, worrisome or even as hard as I thought becoming a parent would be. Instead it has been full of Love, Fear (of anything happening to him), Laughter ( I noticed on the video tonight.. a lot of that!), and even heartbreak, I cant imagine him growing up and not needing me, but we have a long way to go til then! :)

I am excited to share this weekend with my son (still sounds weird!) and my wonderful husband :) (apart from a wedding stint tomorrow for a few hours :) ) we will call that a long naptime.. so I dont feel like I have left him on his birthday! LOL We have a busy weekend and then a trip to the aquarium on Monday.

Now I just have to keep it together! :)

Happy Birthday Little One!

(this is him in his new fancy front facing seat)

OK maybe I cried a little after re reading that! MAN such a wuss!

A day out!

2008-04-23T07:48:00.002-05:00

Tuesday we were invited to tag along on a trip to the petting zoo, I brought with me Sarah and Christopher to keep us company :) Hendrix did great, but he was so tired and I think hes teething again, he was a little fussy most of the day :*( but I guess its time to get more teeth!

Anyway, at the Petting Zoo we were introduced to a Guinea Pig, Ball Python, Blue Tongued Skink, Rabbit, Hedgehog, Lizard... I think thats most of them! They had new baby pigs and THE most adorable baby Goat.. that it seemed Hendrix got a little deep with! LOL

Happy Birthday - ROUND ONE!

2008-04-23T07:26:00.000-05:00

So Sunday was the first of the birthday parties! Hendrix and Max shared their family party this year, and they both didnt seem to mind sharing the limelight :)

We all had fun and ended the day with those HUGE volcano creations.. as you can see Hendrix was a little surprised by it!

Growing fast!

2008-04-20T09:25:00.003-05:00

Today is the first of Hendrixs Birthday parties.. I am almost sad, its been a year (almost) and I cant believe it! Hes a little man now, who gets himself around and blabbers on about goodness only knows!

This week we had some fun days some down days and of course some work days.. blah! We had a day out with Mimi and Papaw to pick birthday presents.. that was FUN! We helped grandma get new glasses, everyone appreciated that! LOL

Hendrix with Mimis cup!

We also helped Nana celebrate her birthday! :) It was on Tuesday a brighter side of Tax Day! :)

Hendrix is venturing into new rooms and figuring out how our house works.. he loves the doors and he loves the windows! Maybe hes trying to tell me something?? LOL

I have a feeling I have a picture of me doing this when i was little! I mean he likes TV why wouldnt he like the washing machine! LOL

Hendrix overload!

2008-04-15T16:26:00.001-05:00

A Hendrix overload!

I am sure you wont mind :)

A cool pic of Hendrix :)

This is what we call his ENGLISH face! :) the one on the Right! :) he started doing it there.. not sure what its about!

Having fun in the bluebonnets!

Hes looking SOOO big! :) They DO grow fast!

What have we learned?

2008-04-13T23:14:00.005-05:00

In the words of my new favorite comedian! Craig Ferguson, hes a quirky, intoxicated Scottishman on late night TV :) there is something about him I really kind of like! I have started to DVR his show as the time that its on at night I would prefer not to be awake, but sometimes I am, thats how I found him :) Anyway.. at the end of his shows he lays back and asks what did we learn today..

Well what DID we learn this week..

We learned that we LOVE having a few days to ourselves, Hendrix is SO MUCH fun right now, so we love Mondays, we sleep, clean, go for walks! I LOVE it! and sometimes on Wednesdays too.. and we have been treated to some crummy weather, which just makes it easier to stay home and be snuggly!

We also learned that I am much more scared of storms than I thought! :( we got some HORRIBLE weather this week, some of my friends where in the middle of it, while we didnt get much damage there was thunder that made me jump so fast it woke Kent up and grabbed me.. I closed the curtains, checked on the baby over and over, who actually slept through it! we were both online checking various sites! It all turned out it was just rain and some storminess.. and we all went back to sleep.. except for Hendrix, he woke up once it was over! LOL

Hmmm we also learned that I HATE tax time.. well I always have but this year they are seriously well.. this is no place for terms like that!
BUT it has made me glad we arent moving and we took our house off the market! LOL

We learned that Hendrix LOVES to swim! :) He was so cute swimming with his little friend Christopher :)

OOOO and we learned that my new favorite movie is AUGUST RUSH, I kept seeing it while renting movies and it caught my eye, except I thought it was a kids movie, well when the weather got icky I rented it thinking Hendrix and I could watch it! I ended up putting it on on Friday night while Kent was at work, and LOVED it, cried a little, was incredibly inspired, so much so I couldnt take it back the next day.. I have now watched it 3 times in 2 days, and didnt even mind that it skipped in parts and even watched those parts over again :) you know in between cleaning and breakfast etc.. :)

We learned that 3 year old birthday parties just get more and more fun! especially when you get your head stuck in the bouncy castle! :) HA yea didnt know about that one did you :)
You also realise upon compiling the images you have captured of said 3 year old, how much you have been blessed to be a part of his life! :)

And what did Hendrix learn, apart from the real crawling on all fours, and getting really good and pulling up and walking.. oh and learning UP when he wants you to get him, and standing (and somtimes jumping - depending on how pleased he is to see you) that Hendrix LOVES LOVES LOVES Chocolate chip pancakes.. its becomes daddies favorite Sunday morning thing!:)

YAY PANCAKES

ONE TOO MANY PANCAKES...

OH THE PHONES A CAMERA... SWEEEET... CHEEEEEEESE!

Oh and the fancy header! Momma learned some new tricks this week :)

Its soooo quiet...

2008-04-06T09:28:00.003-05:00

Its 9.30am on a Sunday morning and its just me and the dogs :) Everyone else is STILL asleep! Of course Hendrix does this on days I want to see him, I made the mistake(it really wasnt) of venturing into a post on one of the boards I frequent about a little boy who had died from Leukemia, it was interesting to read his story, see his milestones, which were much like Hendrixs, and I cried for a good long while. It seems so unfair! :( Ethan was a fighter as were his parents, I cant even imagine the strength they have. My thoughts go to them to keep their strength going.

Good Night baby Ethan

www.ethanpowell.com

Its when you read these kinds of stories you realize the strength it takes to be a parent, there are days I realize I love him so much it hurts, and just pray that nothing or no one will ever hurt him, but you cant predict life and I just hope hes happy and healthy. It also made me wonder if I could ever have another baby, I dont know that I have the strength in me to worry about 2 little ones. so last night was one of those nights I wish Hendrix had woken up in the middle of the night so I could just hold him, but he didnt, and hes sleeping in extra late so I cant get my hands on him!

So while I am waiting for them to wake up its soo quiet (except for Hunters snoring) and I am so grateful for everything we have, including our health, our love and all of the "things" we work for.

Now if I could just convince EVERYONE in England to move to a small commune here it would be perfect! :)

So what have we been up to??

2008-04-04T07:08:00.005-05:00

Well we put our house on the market, started building a new one, didnt have much interest in our home.. and realised our payment was going down and that we really didnt need the space yet and so decided to stay :) I am glad now of the decision, I think once we really plan baby number 2 we will think about it again :)

This is a pic of our bedroom and the headboard we made to finish it off.. I am still proud of it :) although I may have already posted a pic of that.. oh well..

Hendrix has started to clap, say uh oh, pull up on the ottoman, open and close the kitchen cabinets (and open and close and open and close!) he even got a saucepan out and made a great noise on the floor! so we need to organise his own cupboard soon. He is so much fun to be around, although hes trying to start to skip naps and he loves his sleep so that takes its toll some days! :)

I have lost approx 10lbs on my new "program" and Hendrix has enjoyed being back playing at the gym. We have taken lots of walks and cant wait for the gym to open near our house.

Kents finally got a weekend at home (sort of) its the first friday he hasnt had to go from his job to some kind of sport in weeks, months, in fact apart from while we were away its probably been since before christmas, so it will be nice to have him home this weekend.

My aunts lovely house in England where we stayed :) Very English

Posing in the yard for Nana!

Mum, me and the man of the hour!

My mums dog saffi... also likes having her pic taken!

Of course upon getting home we were confused! We came home to 75 degree gorgeous weather! then the next day, luckily we were all snuggled at home catching up on sleep etc.. we woke up to this..

Hendrix wasnt too sure!

We tried to take him with us in the front yard to make snowmen and hed had had about enough by then!

Although he didnt mind watching from inside.. :)

Since then we have had RAIN alot of it, Tornadoes, almost 90 degrees and sunny.. Spring is where our SEASONS hit.. soon it will just be 100 and HOT every day.. so I am enjoying all the changes! :) yesterday was 80 today is 55 so far! :)

PHew.. ok.. is that good?
