The start of Confessions..

So I am stealing this from another blog that I read, but this mom often blogs about the things that mom's often don't tell or say about parenting because with these confessions they might not be getting the " Mom or Wife of the Year award'. I have enjoyed reading them because 9 times out of 10 they sound just like my life! :)

So here are my January Confessions for you:

1) Easton has peed on my bath mat right outside the shower multiple times as he is getting in the shower for shower time and well I have done not one thing about it! I just leave it there knowing that he will pee on it again! Gross I know, but I don't want to wash the mat everyday!

2) Last month I was running low on "healthy" food for Easton and opted to give Easton Frito's since it is made of corn, and sure did count it as his vegetable for the night! And on that note, I don't always make sure he has a vegetable, this was just like the 5th night in a row that he had not had one! :)

3) I have only gotten dress 2 days since I have been back home from my parents. I have been home since last Tuesday! Workout clothes really are cute these days!

4) I am addicted to online shopping. Half the stores have my cc stored to their records, so I don't even have to get off the couch to get my cc. Free shipping doesn't make things better, I just keep clicking the purchase button! I spent all last weekend online, but it made me so happy this week when I kept getting packages on the front steps. The poor UPS man is wondering why I can't have them all delivered on the same day, so he can stop coming daily! And the poor bank is wondering where all the money is going.

5) I used my straightener today to iron my shirt! I was to lazy to get the whole iron and ironing board out. I am sure you know how well that turned out. I still wore the shirt!

6) Last week, I really needed a Starbucks. So I loaded up Easton and Chloe and we proceeded to drive past 4 Starbucks to get to the one with a drive thru, just because I am lazy!

So I might not be getting the Mom of the Year award this month, but hey who is perfect! Not me.. I don't think Easty Boy noticed my mishaps!

A lot going on around here...

For January we have a lot going on around our house. Exciting things so all smiles around here.

To start off, most people already know but we finally announced that we will be welcoming another bundle of joy this July! We are overly joyed and feeling blessed. As you can see below, Easton is just as excited as well. Actually to be truthful, he has no clue what is in store for him in about 6 months! ;)

The next big thing going on in our house is our BIG BOY is truly becoming a big boy. He is sleeping in a toddler bed. Kinda sorta, we took the side off the crib so he can get right out on his own. We put up the small side bar that is there to help him not fall out, but I have news for you, it doesn't work! Poor Easton feel out of the bed in the middle of the night, right on to the hard wood floor! He was pretty scared, and I guess I would be too if I feel off the bed in dead sleep on to any floor! He was a trooper and went right back to sleep! We thought this would be quite the process with Easton, because anyone who knows him, knows he isn't one to sit still or listen to directions to well. However we have been pleasantly surprised. He has been doing awesome, and we have no issues with naps or bedtime. So after we do this for a bit of time, he is going to get his real big boy bed and new bedding! No more nursery stuff for this man! :) Tears and Joy all at the same time.

Next big thing is that of course the NINERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!!!! This has been such a fun time for my family. Drake is totally overworked and loving every minute of it. Things are a bit crazy, but all exciting. We leave next Thursday and can't wait to celebrate in NOLA next weekend. We hope that we are celebrating a big win, but either way I will say that I am very blessed to be along for the ride during this exciting time for the niners, and could not be more happy for my husband who has been in sports for a while, and this will be one of the most memorable moments of his career and I am so lucky that I am able to join in on the fun! Thank you Niners for making it all possible!


**** No picture for this one, remember I am superstitious and I can't wear or post any niners stuff or we might not win and I don't want to be to be blame for losing the superbowl! :) ****



Hope everyone is having a great January!

Go Niners Go...

We are cheering on the Niners today! Big game for our household!

Why no niners gear you ask???

Well when either Easton or I, wear Niners gear we lose, so we don't wear it anymore! ;)

We also don't watch the game the whole time, because again if we do, we lose! So Instead we check in every 30 mins or so! ;)

So let's hope our plan works for tomm, and we are going to the Superbowl! :) Daddy would be one happy man!

Randi's Bachelorette

While I was in Texas I also got to go to my sister's Bachelorette party. It was lots of fun and turned out perfect! She wasn't feeling to good on Sunday and Monday, so I am going to call the weekend a success! :)

We went to Ft. Worth for the weekend. We had a pole dancing party on Saturday, and I must say I was very nervous about this, but it is well worth going to! The lady that lead the party, made me laugh so hard! She was a hot mess!

Then Saturday Night we went to dinner and to Billy Bob's. Yes, that is right the party was in Texas, where else do you find a place called Billy Bob's! I had lots of fun, but planning can be stressful, so happy it all turned out good!

She is ready! :) 

Water bottles for the road trip! 

A toast to start the the weekend off before we got on the road! 

Snack bag for the road, a girl has got to eat! :) 

Toasting! 

Dance party! I told you the girl would make you laugh! 

Best two dancers in the class! :)  

Shower part all set up! 

Cups for the weekend! 

All ready for the night! 

Mom came to the shower! 

She is all set in this department! 

Lots of great girls to spend the weekend with! 

Lots of Showers...

While I am here in Texas, I am getting to be apart of lots of wedding festivities. This weekend I headed to Dallas and helped with one of my friends wedding showers! It was so much fun to see friends and celebrate Heidi's upcoming special day!

Then I came home to attend Troy's Stock the Garage Shower! It was fun to be with family and friends. There was a contest to see who dressed most likely they were working in the garage! So I dressed Easty boy up. He had tool box set, but sadly is confused on how to use it! :) Super happy the Troy got lots of handy man stuff, at least we have one man in the family that knows how to fix something because it's not my Dad or Drake! ;)

Heidi's Shower..

Then I headed the next day to Troy's stock the Garage shower! They asked you to dress up for it, so Easton dressed like he was a tool man! :)

Can't wait for all these weddings! :)

Happy New Year...

Hope that everyone had a wonderful start to the New Year! We rang in the New Year at a close friends wedding with great friends, and could not have been more happy for the two that got married!

We hope that everyone has a blessed new year along with good health and lots of love and laughter!
