Is it possible to already be a BAD mom???

So, for those of you who think I have the sweetest husband in the whole world (besides your own, of course), please read the following to disspell any of those rumors.

So this morning, It's MLK day, and I technically have the day off. But I need to go into the office for a little while to get some things taken care of. As I leisurely get ready for work, I notice Ron taking a Bag of dry Rice upstairs. (See picture here). I say to him "Ron - surely you are not going to feed the dog dry rice are you?". "No" he answered and said he'd be right back. I didn't think anything of it and continued getting my bag ready for work.

A few minutes later he comes down the stairs and hands me the bag of rice DRESSED in my little girl's onesie!! (See picture here). He hands it to me saying that I need to get some Practice!!! And then he laughs the whole way to walk me to my car thinking he is just so funny. I was NOT amused.

I go to work, run a LONG list of Honey-Do's (aren't these HIS responsibility?!?!)....and come home with full loads of groceries, laundry, etc. I walk into the kitchen and behold - there on the counter is the onesie-turned-dry-rice-sack with a sweet note on it. (See picture here). In case you can't read the picture clearly enough it says:

"MOM - You Left Me :( Baby B."

Thanks sweetie. I feel like a winner.

Meet Our Little Brother Isaiah

Here is a pic (or a few) of our little brother Isaiah (through Big Brothers Big Sisters). He is 9 and in the 4th grade this year. We took some time out last weekend to go to Putt Putt and play a few games. Isaiah hit a hole in one!!! We had a blast. We have been successfully matched with Isaiah now for over a year and it is sooo much fun!!! If you are interested in BBBS or any kind of community involvement, but don't know how to get started, just let us know - we would love to help you out!

Baby Boomerang is a...........................

GIRL. Please see the Christmas card we sent out to show my initial impression. :)

It's funny - we had the boy name picked out, the nursery theme picked out, the colors and clothes all picked out. Our entire baby's closet is full of boy clothes and boy toys. Hmph. Well - starting from scratch. We had exactly ZERO girl names picked out. Since the first weekend in September, we have been planning on a boy - so this will be so much fun! YaYa was there to see the ultrasound and left 2 seconds after she found out it was a girl - she left saying "I gotta go buy some pink!".....How fun! and Totally overwhelming. I don't even know where to begin with a girl. Any advice - start posting it now!!!

Teefa / Mom Bday Celebration

So here we celebrated my mom's birthday and my birthday together. Please note - she got earmuff's for the Cowtown race. She likes to try everything she gets on immediately.

And my so fun brother Garrett and sister from another mother, April helped us celebrate. They kept it lively for us all.

Our joint cake that Granny made - chocolate cake with chocolate chips baked in it with chocolate icing. mmmm...no body cooks better than granny faye.

Just some of the Christmas food we had left over from that morning - plus the bday cake. What was that my doctor said about no sweets (oops).

And YaYa - yet again - trying on her birthday gifts. What a great YaYa she will be to Boom!

Babyboomerang - The Early Days

Can anyone tell that we are finally trying to post pics for people to see - and they seem a little out of order. Well - give me a little break - I have no idea what I am doing on these things. Ron insisted that we put up the early pics of being prego. Now - I wasn't much fun to be around - hence the mean face when he was trying to take my picture. I have matured into a much nicer woman (ahem), I promise.

This was in San Diego the weekend after we found out. I just laid out every day (oh - and there was that mess about all the casino's in that area - but let's not talk about that).

My Cyclist

So Mary Lynn (Ron's mom) and I escorted Ron up to Childress, TX recently. There was a 60 mile bike ride (as using the excuse - I'm pregnant - thankfully kept me from having to ride in it). For Christmas - Ron got a new bike - so stay tuned to see some new pics on that!

Cold Days

So we have been trying to walk every morning - getting ready for the Cowtown Half Marathon. Week days have us between 2 and 4 miles and Saturdays - well we are up to 9 miles on Saturday. But - lately its been a little chilly. This particular morning it was about 26 degrees outside at 5am. Not fun. The only part of my skin showing was my eyes - and they watered the whole way as the wind was blowing in them. The next morning - we slept in.
