Adam is 1!

Wow...my little boy is 1 year old (July 11th)! He is our little gift from God. We prayed, cried, questioned, and learned some pretty big lessons on patience for 3 years.  Along the way we began to truly understands God's ability to guide our lives as He sees fit, and way better than we could do on our own! This little boy is our world! He's silly, stubborn, goofy, strong-willed, sweet, opinionated, and just the love of our life! As much as I'd like to freeze time, I'm also so very excited to continue on this journey of raising our little sunshine!

Stay tuned for birthday party blog...

Sweet Summer Time

It's "technically" summer in Texas...as far as the date goes.  It's been getting hot for a while! Some of our best friends recently bought a house with a beautiful pool! We have already tried it out...Adam is still skeptical about this whole big body of water concept.  He is definitelynot into your holding him, but will tolerate hanging out in his float?  I thought it would be the other way around, but whatever works for little man is good for me!

Pantry Makeover

So it was time to admit that I had not cleaned out my pantry since my son was born!!  That's 11 months of mass chaos going on in my pantry! I woke up last Thursday and was determined to fix the pantry! I started pulling things out, and started having Pinterest flashbacks.  I had seen several pantry pics, and decided if I was going to clean out, I was going all the way! That ended with my husband taking me to Lowes for paint. 

**Side Note - I have NEVER picked a paint color in our house without at least 3 months dwelling to make sure it's what I want!! 

I walked up to the paint samples, glanced around and grabbed the one that was most appealing, took it to the counter and had a gallon whipped up!  The only way that makes sense in my head to describe the color is a "sea foam blue". 

I repainted all the sheleves and painted the walls.  The pics don't do it justice! While it was a pain to cut in in between every shelf and I will never do it again, I love the way it turned out!  It's all one color, the shadows of the shelf are misleading.   Please, no judging on the Before pic!

Until Next time...

Bring On The Heat

I know...the first official day of Summer is not until June 21st, but let's face it...we live in Texas.  Summer can be anytime from March-October depending on the year.  I bought Adam a small splash pool at Babies R Us.  It's perfect for a little play time to relieve the heat.   He loves being outside (much to my dismay) and as it warms up I know water is going to be must! I look forward to starting some Pinterest water activities this summer!!

 Of course Piper had to get in on the water action!

My sick sunshine

Wow...so I dropped off for a bit. Life has thrown our house a few curve balls!

The first started with sunshine getting RSV...when I say I never want to see another day of my baby with RSV I mean it! That was just awful! The worst part, no doubt, was not being able to do anything! Blah, Blah it's a virus and there's nothing you can do... :(  I will say in the midst of everything I found the magic of the Nose Frida!!  Yes, it sounds like the most disgusting thing.  Yes, you literally suck their snot right out of their nose yourself.  It works amazing and totally recommend this product! After about a week, baby boy was back to normal, eating again, and out moving me around this house... (He started crawling 2 weeks ago and whoa) As Adam was getting better, I get diagnosed with bronchitis.  Great, just what I needed.  The Bronchitis is still lingering, but we are back in action much thanks to Nose Frida, Boogie Wipes, & Vicks!

The Little Mermaid

There's never been a doubt my favorite childhood, no pretty much all time movie has been The Little Mermaid!  This past week the hubs arranged an afternoon date at Dallas Summer Musical to see The Little Mermaid! It was FABULOUS! We were amongst 8 year old little girls and married couples celebrating 50th anniversaries! The room literally squealed at every scene.  It was so cute!  For a few hours, I felt like I was 8 again! By far, my favorite character was Sebastian played by Alan Mingo Jr.!!  He was so on key, and even made the character better! It was all together FABULOUS!
