Cade's Breakfast Special

This morning Cade told me he wanted a plate of pancakes with an egg on top and syrup. Of course, we argued for 30 minutes about how he would not like it and how Mom knows best! But, I finally caved and said I would make it, but he MUST eat it or NO SNACKS!!!

Well.....he liked it! He told me, "Mom, Can you make this yummy breakfast for lunch, too!"

I'm Goin Out!

Well, maybe, hopefully if all goes well...


Eric and I are hoping to make it out on the town tonight. First time since Lila Grace was born and it is much needed!!!


However I still have one sort of, kind of sick child. He's actually feeling good, but still running a very low grade fever.

And...I'm hoping to put the baby to bed and head out after that. Lucky for us Papa Larry volunteered (ok, maybe I begged him!) to watch all 3. But, considering the baby is only happy with me in her sight I figure I'll help him out and put her down before we go.

So anyways...I have this super cute outfit! The shirt is actually a Miley Cyrus find from Wal-mart. I saw it about a month ago and really liked it, but thought, "I can't buy a Miley Cyrus shirt!" But then, I saw it in People Magazine as a Hot Fall Fashion Find...soooo I went and bought it and I really like it! The jeans were clearance Gap jeans that my neighbor helped me get at a steal (she gave me a super good coupon). The hot shoes are from my sis. They're called Volitile. She said they're hot in LA (that's Louisiana) right now. I really like them and they look great with long jeans (which mine usually are, b/c I'm shorter). She sent them as a baby gift. Best baby gift ever!!!

Well, hopefully I'll make it out, but if not I'll be having cocktails on my back patio in my super cute outfit...with Eric and Papa Larry!

Sick day...or week!!

Jack is sick. Actually, he's not really that sick but he's been home from school for 2 days now. He spiked a fever over the weekend and has been running a low grade fever ever since. We did go to the Dr on Monday and she said he had a virus, but he didn't look sick enough to run a flu test on him. She said he's probably on the down hill side. However, when I emailed the teacher she responded that 13 (of 20) kids are out sick with the swine flu! And if diagnosed with it, he really shouldn't return for 5 days! Sooooo, I'm assuming we have a mild version of the swine flu. It's really not that bad...what was all the hype?

Hopefully Lila Grace and Cade won't get it, but it sounds pretty contagious! When Jack and I left the Dr I said, "see you in a couple days" b/c I'm sure it's coming!


AND...E's out of town so it makes this sick week one LONG week! He's actually working near where we used to live in New Braunfels and supposed to hang out with some good friends tonight....don't like him very much right now!



Anyways, here's us on our sick day...

Sister Loves Her Food!!!

Lila Grace loves food! She eats anything and everything and gets very excited when I put her in the highchair! Just thought I'd share a pic of her smiling, since the last ones didn't show many smiles. She'll always smile for food!

Lila Grace is 6 mos old!!!

6 months old today! Here are some cute pictures of her. She is a very active baby....almost crawling!! She isn't sitting yet, but will soon. She loves her walker and has just started to appreciate the jumparoo. She started baby food and is a big fan. She still doesn't eat a lot of milk, but does eat enough. She is finally sleeping really well again at night...goes to bed by 8 pm and sleeps 12-13 hours. However, she DOES NOT take long naps during the day (which drives me crazy!). She is pretty easy going as long as she's with Mom...she's super attached! She's also super cute! She gets lots of looks, I think b/c she's still pretty small. I heard one little girl at church say, "she has the smallest head on her I've ever seen!" And it's true...she has a teeny tiny head! Still looks EXACTLY like Daddy...good thing he's cute! I'm soooo looking forward to seeing her "hair"!

Summer's Officially Over!

Cade went back to school today, so our Summer's over! Today was his 1st day back at preschool...not sure if I'm happy or sad?! I'm happy for him b/c these last few weeks have been tough with Jack gone all day (for him having no one to play with and me having to play with him a lot!). But also sad b/c I'll miss my little buddy on MWF! Hopefully he'll like it...he was a little upset when I dropped him off. Poor kid doesn't understand why, "he can't go to Kindergarten and ride the bus, like Jack!" And yes, I've heard this EVERY single day since Jack's been going!

We've had a really good Summer (besides the obvious). We ended up going on several little mini trips and the boys had a lot of fun. Luckily, Lila Grace is a good car rider! By the way, for those needing an update, she's doing really well, too! She turns 6 mos in a few days so I'll post more then. Here's a pic of her. You can see her scar. It looks really good.

I'm really looking forward to Fall...It's my favorite time of year!
