date weekend for momma & daddy
Since this last week was our anniversary, Juice finally said yes to babysitting...it took a lot of begging! haha! Riiiiiiight!
For some reason, Michael has been taking little 30 minute naps during the day...even in his swing! Oh no! But Friday, when we were trying to get all packed up and ready to head to Juice & Pa's, the boy slept and slept! This is how he slept for a while...
He finally woke up and we got on the road. Needless to say, after a good nap, he wasn't in the mood to get in the car and go back to sleep. He doesn't quite get the idea of just riding yet. So, I ended up in the back seat with him and we had a little chit-chat....
He is really starting to talk a ton now. While we were at Juice & Pa's, he would wake up in the middle of the night ready to eat and just talk to himself for a few minutes before he'd get really hungry. It was too cute. And as a matter of fact, today, he giggled at his momma's singing! :)
Saturday, Michael got to stay with Juice all afternoon while his momma & daddy got to go on a date. It was wonderful! It was actually a little weird not having him. We got to go to the Parade of Homes and out to eat. Thank you Juice & Pa for letting us have that time. And thank you Grandma & Granddaddy for the gift card to eat!
Of course, Juice can get him to take good naps at her house! She let him sleep on his tummy on the couch! She assured me that she and Kirby were right there watching him the whole time. At least the boy got some good naps! And it looks like she let him suck his thumb too...bad Juice!
I think he was waving to the camera in this one! I really don't think that he missed his momma or daddy! We sure did miss him though.
He got some good time with Pa too. (He's wearing the shirt that we gave Pa last July for his birthday. It says "Spoiled Rotten by Grandpa." That's how we told them that we were expecting.)
Finally!!!! He finally got to meet his Shelley! His Uncle Curt had been telling him about this pretty girl for a while now and Michael finally got to hold her. He loves his Shelley!
NO UNCLE CURT--YOU CAN'T HAVE HER BACK...SHE'S MINE!!!!
It was a great weekend. We really appreciate the the time we got to spend together and the time we got to spend with Juice, Pa, Curt & Shelley. We can't wait to see ya'll again!

3 years
Three years ago on this very day, I married my bestest friend.
Today, he's the most amazing daddy of my next bestest friend!
This year seems a lot more special because we got to share our anniversary with our son. We are so blessed to have our little family.
It was a rather relaxing day...Michael and I did our normal daily routine of eating and playing and sleeping. He even let me take a good afternoon nap! Then daddy took us out to eat. It was great to have a little family dinner. Michael was so good during it. He wanted to be up and looking around at everyone.
Happy Anniversary Derek! I love ya more than chocolate! I love you more today than I did 3 years ago! Thank you for all the wonderful memories and our wonderful son!

our day...
Michael decided to hang out with Brown Bear today...
Some of Michael's friends that are his age are rolling over already...so we've decided that we need to practice! I don't think that his friends get high-centered on a belly!
Kirby thinks that if Michael is in the floor, he's there to play with her. He is so alert now and just watches her run around. Sometimes he sits in the bumbo while I play fetch with her. He loves to watch her. Of course, she doesn't mind showing off for him either!
I leave my baby for the first time all day tomorrow. I'm a little nervous...not about who's keeping him (grandma in the morning and daddy in the afternoon)...but just nervous about leaving him and him having enough to eat. I'm making myself a nervous wreck about that. I know he has enough for tomorrow and I'll just be at school and can leave anytime, but still. I think he's going through a growth spurt because he is eating every 2.5-3 hours. He is going to have so much fun and probably won't even know I'm gone!!
I have a feeling that when I get back...this might be what I find...

first airplane ride, first trip to the mountains
Michael has been looking forward to this past week for a while now. (me too!) He got to go on his first airplane ride to zoooooom across the sky to beautiful Colorado!
Luckily, his Juice & Meemaw went with us (actually, we invited ourselves to go with them). We went to see Aunt Amy, Uncle Jameson, Jett and Kai. We had so much fun and Michael did so good on both the flights! Here are some pictures of our fun week...
Juice & Michael checking out the cool helicopter in the Amarillo airport...waiting to get on the plane.
And we are finally on the plane to zooooom across the sky to Colorado!!! Thank you Juice & Meemaw!
This flying thing is fun mom!
Michael was so excited to see Jett & Kai and to find out that they have swings in Colorado!!!
Jett had soccer practice while we were there and he is dang good!!!
Kai got in on the practice too...and he is dang good too!!!
Go Blue Team!!!
Michael loved to cuddle with Juice & Jett...
This is in Boulder...Michael was the lucky fella that got to go shopping with the girls! He didn't mind it as long as Juice had him...good naps on Juice!
Jett loves his Aunt Amy & Uncle Jameson!
Kai always wanted to know where Michael was and he wanted to hold him so bad! This makes me tear up a bit because Kai isn't supposed to be that big! He is going to be a great big brother!
I think the boy is in love with his Juice...
I am in love with the boy!
Michael looking for fish in the pond while Jett & Kai play....

On the plane home...so sleepy....(after a huge blow out that required a change of outfits!)
Finally back in daddy's arms! I'm not sure which one missed who the most!
We had so much fun in Colorado! Thank you to Aunt Amy, Uncle Jameson, Jett & Kai for getting out all the cool toys for Michael (especially the swing)! And thank you to Meemaw for the diapers and shopping money! And to Juice for all the rocking and help on the plane! We love you all and can't wait to see you again!!
