I also have been finding lots of coupons.. although I then go out and dont use them :( oh well.. I try!

Our weekend!

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!

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

 

 

 

 

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!

Limited weekday and weekend sessions available email me at sara@littleonesrock.com

whats up!

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

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

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..

You dont go to the other side.. (ie my photo blog!)

Big Brother in training...

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???

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...

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 :)

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

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

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!

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!!!

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!!!

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! :)

More Hendrix Pics..

Hes been busy this week with pictures :) and next week is school picture day :)
