Viral videos are the BEST!!

Hello friends! We have done a WHOLE LOTTA work today! Anderson and I went over to the old apartment and really cleaned up because we want to get our deposit back kind of clean up!-ha! The first 45 minutes Anderson was great...the last 45 minutes...notsomuch! He had a TOTAL meltdown and was screaming for milk and candy of all the crazy things. He has NEVER had a piece of candy in his life!!! I dunno where that came from.

Anyway...when we got home and he got up from his nap we always get on the computer. First to get on www.starfall.com. Ya'll I swear that this baby knows his ABC's and can recognize them out of order because of this website. Awesomeness!

And...because I was a teacher for the last 8 years I always feel like we shouldn't sit idle that long or that I should ALWAYS have a lesson plan for Anderson. So we love this website too...www.sesamestreet.org and this viral video that Anderson is OBSESSED with! AND KEEPING IT REAL: WE ATE SOME GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!!

And I've been digging through some old pics and posting them on facebook: see for yourself!This is my cousin Megan, her mom Sara(who passed away last year due to breast cancer) and Granny Hall.

Happy Birthday Adam!

Hello friends! Yesterday Adam turned 32!Adam has been the love of my life since we were 19 years old! He continues to be my rock, my best friend, and a great father to our child. I cannot express the love that I feel for him. The happiest time of the day for me is when I see that little red car drive up the drive way. I still get so excited he's home! Adam, I will continue to love you all the days of my life!

He had a yummy cake! Which he enjoyed... except that it kept staining our teeth and mouths. And Anderson enjoyed it too!A little too much....he screamed when I told him he couldn't have anymore "Hat Today" (Happy Birthday) cake -ha!And then, I began thinking about many of the birthdays that I have spent with Adam and though I don't have pictures of all. I do have pictures of some.

One of my favorites was when he turned 21 years old. We were living in Mobile and going to the University of South Alabama. He and my cousin Matt and me and my friend Patti all celebrated his birthday. He went and bought his first beer.On his 24th birthday I bought him tickets to race cars at the Jarrett Farve Race Adventure. I think that was his favorite present EVER from me! He had so much fun, but made me nervous going around the track at 120 mph!!!On his 30th birthday all of the wives got together and threw Adam, Matt, Adam Corbin and Jason Martin a party. But this year he just had some time with his family and it was a pretty great day! Happy Birthday my love. What a great 12 birthdays I have gotten to spend with you and can't wait to spend 60+ more!

Frosty Friday

Hello friends and Roll Tide! Yesterday we went to the Mansfield Public Library. They have an awesome kids section. Anderson was rocking his crimson and white colors! That was such a great game last night! We've been flying our Alabama car flags out here in Longhorn country and getting the finger from some Texas fans too! ha! It really feels weird not to be surrounded by Alabama fans who give you a roll tide after such an awesome game...oh well.

It is a chilly 22 degrees for our high today and we drove by a fountain at a church and it was completely frozen over, the water was frozen up in the air! The wind is what is soooo cold...brrrr!

To stay warm, we went to the mall and well it's Friday and our deal on Fridays. The playground was fun and full of cabin fevered children and moms too. I am a nice person, but seriously I wanted to tell this one mom off. She had a 3 year old and probably an 8 month old baby. Anderson loves babies and went up to the stroller and touched the baby's toy. I was RIGHT behind him. She told him "No, don't touch this...he puts it in his mouth" and THEN gets out germ-x and wipes it off in front of me! Seriously!!!!!! I told Anderson come on with his dirty little hands. And when her daughter came over to play with Anderson I told Anderson loud enough for the mom to hear "don't get her dirty". Why oh why am I so rude sometimes. I guess it's the mother bird instinct in me or maybe my Grandmother Ivey that I'm channeling :)

Hope you have a great weekend! We are celebrating Adam's 32 birthday on Sunday!

Today and last week

Hello friends! I have located my camera cord, which makes me very happy! And we are all the way moved into our new house-hip hip hooray!! Our last payment on this house will be January 2040 and I plan on us staying here until then-ha! Moving is for the birds! That sounds like such a long time and it is. We will be 62!!

We've had a great day! It's been a cold day so we haven't even stepped foot outside. It's supposed to get colder here too as all of you well know. I know it is just as cold where you are too! Brrrr....I like the cold...but not THIS COLD!

I've been cleaning the house from our move. It was filthy. I guess I failed to realize that a BIGGER house = LONGER time to clean. Ugh! I don't mind cleaning, but it took FOREVER to do it.

Last night, I made the perfect brownies. Seriously...they were the perfect brownies. It does work! :)

Anderson and Adam enjoyed them as well!Last week when Adam's parents were here we went to Ft. Worth Stockyards which is always so fun to do when you are here. We had a blast!

We found this funny sign and I feel like I need it sometimes :)

We went to this one place...ummm bar/restaurant called the White Elephant. It's so neat! Some of Chuck Norris' show was taped in that bar...I can't remember the name of the show...anyone?

Anderson and Gami had a ball dancing on the dance floorPappy and Anderson on the carousel at the mall We also went to the coolest mall EVER, it's called the Galleria! It's in Dallas and it's oh so neat and oh so expensive. They had a Louis Vuitton store there!! I was in heaven!

One more thing before I go. I need help deciding what color to paint our front door. I HATE the cream that is on it...help me...ideas! Click here to see the front of the house.

It's Tuesday

Hello friends! It's Tuesday and I have NO pictures. My camera cord is somewhere...I just don't know where. Hopefully I can find it tomorrow! We are almost all the way moved in to our new house in Mansfield, TX. We really like it here so far. This house is so much bigger than our tiny apartment that it literally feels like a mansion. I know that it is FAR from that...but it feels that way.

My in-laws were here last week and bless their hearts helped us move a 2nd time in 3 months! We had a great time while they were here. I will post pics again when I find my camera cord. On Saturday, we had a little bad luck. Anderson and I took a nap and I left my cell phone on the kitchen counter. Adam decided to go to the apartment to get a load of stuff and the Endeavor broke down on the side of the road!! He tried to call me 19 times....but we were fast asleep:( It turned out to be our alternator. But, Adam had an experience that has made me HATE Texas Longhorn fans. While the car was on the side of the highway, a Texas fan rode by and shouted "the Tide ain't rollin' now,huh" Wow...seriously! And that night, Anderson started throwing up in the bed. Poor baby! He's much better now though.

Anderson and I have not done much today. I've done laundry....ohhhh how I HATE doing laundry. And we've gone to return a pillow that didn't match at Home Goods and of course our favorite....CHICK-FIL-A! We've just got to get into a routine here. I had one at the apartment daily...and if you know me at all. I'm all about routines! Ha!

See you tomorrow with pictures!

We are....

in the process of MOVING! UGHH!!!! Needless to say...I'll be back when I can. Hopefully this week. See you soon with pictures! :)

Christmas Day 2009

Hello friends! Santa came to visit early...6:40 a.m. and we have been playing ever since then. Anderson got some cool toys from Santa! His favorite has to be the Diego ball pit. Hours of fun...hands down. Nothing has ever held Anderson's attention like this toy!
Nunna even gave Anderson a cute bumble bee car. Which he likes, but has no idea how to push it. We tried to teach him to do it Fred Flintstone style...:)

We had breakfast, a sausage,pepper and onion strata. Awesome!Then, we went to play in the snow that had accumulated overnight.
Adam became OBSESSED with building a snowman and then blamed his growing up in south Alabama for his lack of snowperson building skills-ha! ;)
Every time he would get a good base built, Anderson would tear it down! The boys had a ball in the snow!

Anderson thought it looked pretty tasty too!We had a fabulous Christmas lunch at the ole' Waffle House. A little far from my mom's cooking, but what are you gonna do? Steaks tonight...woo hoo!

Merry Christmas!
