Tis the season! [part 2]

We made our way down to Laredo to spend Christmas with the Parks family.  We got there pretty late and Logan was wore out and went right to bed like a good boy! The next day we hung out and spent some time with the family and saw some old friends, it was nice to catch up with them and for them to see how big our little man is getting.  Christmas Eve was spent at Aunt Cindy's house where there was lots of food and a great time watching A Christmas Story.  Christmas Day we headed over to Uncle Ken and Aunt Letty's and had a wonderful time.  Logan opened all his gifts and of course was facinated by the wrapping paper! He got books, an A&M Build-A-Bear, a dump truck, clothes, jammies, this little boy is very blessed! He napped on and off the entire day (he had a fever the night before so he was still getting over his ear infection poor baby!) We headed back to Bryan's grandparents house and got Logan fed, bathed and changed.  We then went over to my friend Christy's apartment and she got him an awesome race car toy! Bryan said he will be playing with it more than Logan.  Lol.  Later that night we went to Kristal and Matt's (Bryan's cousin and wife) and he got to spend some quality time with the boys while Logan was asleep in their guest bedroom (he was pretty much tuckered out at this point!).  The next day we went and ate breakfast with some friends and I got my Laredo (REAL!) mexican food fix! It was sooo yummy! Logan seemed to like the eggs and potatoes as well.  We made it back home and decided to go eat at On the Border (we got a gift card) and Logan seemed to not want to eat his dinner but look at all the girls that were in there and just smile, boy are we in for some trouble later down the road! After that, we headed over to Barnes and Nobles to use yet another gift card and I got some great books for Logan for half off.  We got back to our apt and Suki was so happy to see us.  We literally put Logan in his jammies and headed to bed.  Bryan had to work the next day and I had the whole week off. I was excited about spending the entire week with my baby boy! I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Looking forward to next Christmas already!

Tis the season! [part 1]

This time last year I was about halfway along in my pregnancy and thinking this time next year will be so fun with Logan! And I kept thinking about how far away it was.  Well it is here! Logan had his first Christmas at his Grams and Paw Paw's (my Mom and Dad) last weekend.  He was a little under the weather.  He has had a cough a runny nose for a while now and his 2 top teeth are popping through the surface. He napped quite a bit all weekend and was a little cranky.  Needless to say he was not really in the Christmas spirit, but we got some smiles and laughs from him.  He got lots of neat toys, books and clothes. He needed lots of 9 month and 12 month clothes, he is outgrowing his 6-9 month clothes quickly.  He also got 2 boxes of diapers from his Aunty Kelli (which I was really excited about, heck yea diapers are expensive!) He even got a new sippy cup that we have been trying and he seems to like it better than the one I got him.  We had a great time! We are off to Laredo to spend Christmas with Bryan's family this weekend!

People I love-Shawna

Shawna is a very special and dear friend in my life.  We have been friends since about 5th grade.  We kind of lost touch in high school.  We hung out with different friends but always were friendly when we saw each other.  Fast forward to 2005, my first semester at college. We "re-met" randomly and found out not only did we go to the same college, we lived in the same apartment complex! From then on it was like we had been best friends all this time.  She was (and still is!) my crutch and supoport when I was going through some really hard times.  She stuck by me.  She was there for me when I had to make some of the hardest descions of my life.  We had 2 great years at SHSU and those were the best times I ever had! After graduation I moved to Laredo.  She was one of the only people that ever came and visited me there.  It meant so much to me.  While I was living there, she graduated and moved to Austin.  I came and visited her as well and we never lost touch.  I was thrilled to find out I was moving back closer to home in 2010 when I got a job offer at TAMU in College Station.  After I moved here I found out SHE got a great job offer in the City of Bryan and I knew it was meant to me! We were in the same place yet again!!! She is always an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on.  She will never judge me and tell me exactly what she thinks, no holding back, and that is why she is one of my best friends and always will be! We haev shared so many memories together I know there are much more to come. 

I will always remember:
