My Christmas Mommy

So Cole is starting to catch on that Christmas is around the corner. We are driving through downtown last night and he can see all the wreaths and he say's with excitement in his voice, It's Christmas!! Well this morning I get the tree all put up and he is running around the house saying It's my Christmas. He picks up an ornament that had fallen to ground and says uh oh my Christmas. So for now he thinks Christmas is his as if it's an object. Maybe next year he will understand that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus, but for now it's kinda cute and we will just let him think that it's his Christmas.

Well I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving. I know we did and we have so much to be thankful for. Here are a few Turkey Day Pics.

Santa Clause Scare

With Christmas in the air we thought it would be fun to take the kids to Museum of Southwest for their annual Christmas at the Mansion. We walk through and look at all the beautifully decorated Christmas Trees and then low and behold we turn the corner and there is good ole St. Nick . Who by the way Cole is terrified of!!! . He is so scared he is shaking and clinging to Eric so tightly I had to peel him off. My poor baby. I wonder if he will ever grow out this. So I am pretty sure we won't be taking any pictures with Santa this year..

We did get a couple of my niece Kindall and my nephew Caden

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is around the corner. I just have to say I could not be more thankful and more blessed for all that God has given my family.

I received this in an email and thought it was too good not to share

Thanksgiving….is a day for family, food, parades and football. A day to give thanks for all our blessings. This year as you give thanks remember those not at home with family; those in dangerous places; those who help and comfort; those families that watch and pray. We have so much to be thankful for.

Another cute moment

So those of you who know my husband know that Cole looks like Eric spit him out. I begin to wonder if I had any part in the making of that child. I mean I did carry him for 9 months. Well we have decided that he did get one thing from me besides the blonde hair. He is a chatter box. I really don’t ever think he is not talking and he repeats everything you say. What can I say he comes by it honestly. So this morning he decides he wants to share his breakfast with our Maltese Elvis. I look it him and say Cole you are so sweet for sharing your breakfast he then runs over to Eric and says with his excitement in his voice. Daddy I sooo sweet!!! Just another cute moment I had to share with you all.

Uppercase Living

Okay so I have new obsession for something to spice your home up in a really creative way. If you don’t know about it you need to look into. It is called Uppercase Living. They are basically quotes you can design or already designed quotes you can put up on your walls but the cool thing is it’s not just a pictures it’s just the lettering itself. I found out this weekend that Steinmart & Kohl’s sells their version so I got a couple just to try it out, one for Cole’s room and one for above our desk. I am obsessed now!! They just add the neatest touch to your home. I may be the last one to know about this but I just had to share. Another cool thing is you can sale the products too. All the info is on the website. The web address is www.uppercaseliving.com.

So I just have to post this because I think it's just so darn sweet!! My little pumpkin is laying in bed with us this morning and he looks me straight in the eye, then grabs my face, looks at me with the sweetest smile and then puckers up and gives me a big ole kiss. Then proceeds to turn over and say Daddy wake up!!! so he can give him his good morning kiss too. Man do these baby boys have your heart strings!!

Updating my blog

So my sister-in-law is my blog monitor because I am horrible about starting things like these and never updating them. Part of my problem is I don't #1 have time, #2 I sit in front of a computer all week at work and #3 my sweet little angel has turned 2. Let me tell you he gives terrible two's a whole new meaning. As matter of fact in the midst of trying to post this he thought it would be hilarious to push the off button on the computer. Then after waiting for it to load back up he continues to push every button on the keyboard. This is the very reason this blog does not get updated except for once every month. I did manage however to get a whole minute of typing in but only because we bribed him into watching Happy Feet. Well that's it for this moment. Stay tuned...I can only imagine what it will be like when I have two kids :)

So our littleman dressed up like superman for Halloween. We took him to Golf Course Church of Christ for the Truck or Treat. The minute we walk in the door we see a lady with her faced painted like a pumpkin and cole freaks out. So naturally the whole time He was clinging to me like white on rice. He has now decided that he can fly because of the whole cape thing and keeps telling Eric and I look I can fly you wanna fly with me and the proceeds to project himself off the ottoman. Yep and there goes my heart in my stomach. Little boys will be little boys
