Most of you all know that I am a WAHM to 2 kiddos.  Our son (referred to as Turkey on my site) is 3 and a half and our daughter (referred to as Little One) is 1.  We moved to TX when she was just 6 weeks old.  Starting out in a new state, with no family, in an apt with two kiddos and a travelling husband made life very hard.  I was overwhelmed by the lack of schedules and {Read More}

Oh what a mess he’s becoming at 3 and a half! “That’s my ‘Hey Vern’ face” His Daddy is a big Jim Varney fan, so he’s taught little Turkey how to say “Hey Vern, know what I mean?” and make the face. Turkey is very proud of his ‘Hey Vern’ face. Me: “Time to clean up, you can start by picking up your puzzle” Turkey: “You can start by picking up everything else“ (Nice try buddy!)“We have to get the {Read More}

Little One is 1 now, which means we’ve been Texans for almost a year- hard to imagine!  Here are a few pictures from her birthday party.  We just had an intimate party with grandparents and a couple of friends.  But boy did she get spoiled! MeMee’s favorite 1st birthday gift for her grandkids is a rocking chair! She thinks this baby doll is really swell.  Unfortunately so does her big brother. She got the Drop and Roll Dinosaur, Roll Around {Read More}

At first I wasn’t sure which to say, but I feel pretty confident that they both are an accurate reflection of how I feel at this moment, having just looked at this comparison chart., that Danielle shared with me. I have a long way to go, but what a great way to remind us to be Godly mothers and not just mothers. Since my post yesterday about not being able to do all I felt I should do and finally {Read More}

“There’s Carolion Mom!” (looking at a picture of an old friend’s daughter named Caroline) “I have freckles” (looking at the bumps on either side of his chest) Me: “Do you want some more polynesian sauce for your chicken nuggets?” Turkey: “I like Paula Deen’ses sauce Mama!”  (yes Deen’ses)  Oh, that boy and his cooking! Me: “Where are your glasses, bud?” Turkey: “I don’t have no idea, Mama.“ Me: “Are you kidding me?” Turkey: “No, I’m just being facetious“ He ate {Read More}

I realized while we were on vacation last week that it’s been 2 months since I last posted about the kids.  Here are a few pics that I’ve been saving for a while.  Hope they’re worth a few giggles to brighten your day. If you give a baby a box She’ll play for hours If you give a baby a bow She’ll munch as if it’s her lunch. If you take the baby’s picture Her brother will want one too. {Read More}

Does anyone have any suggestions for night waking?  Turkey has started getting up in the middle of the night recently.  It started at Nana’s house so we thought it might be that he didn’t want to miss any play time with her.  Then it carried over to his MeMee and Pa’s house.  He says he hears things.  We live in an apartment complex for goodness sakes- he should be used to hearing anything and everything.  We’ve been home 4 nights {Read More}
