Baby proofin' & Baby showers...

As most of you know we are adopting through CPS with the foster to adopt program. There is a long list of rules that come with fostering to adopt & one of them is all medicines & house hold cleaning supplies have to be locked up. Well with a house that was built in the early 50's there is NO closet/storage space. Every closet, cabinet, nook & cranny in our house is full to it's maximum capacity. So we had to come up with a plan, so I went to canton in search of some kind of storage help and found the perfect solution, SCHOOL LOCKERS! We sanded, cleaned & painted them & they turned out perfect.

My "SIL" Amy & my best friend Katie threw me a "stock the nursery" shower a few weekends ago. I am still very humbled & grateful for such amazing support from our family & friends.

This nursery/baby defiantly got showered/stocked.

We got so much wonderful baby stuff that I'm racking my brain for another storage idea ;o)

These where the preggo's of the group (excluding me of course)

some one got me a baby ;)

Psalms 126:3 The Lord has done great things for us and our hearts are filled with joy.

Dallas Zoo

A few weeks ago it was Rylee (our niece's) spring break. So our Arkansas crew (Amy, Rylee & Landry) loaded up and came down to Texas to spend time with us on there break. One of the days we went to the Dallas Zoo. It was so fun we caught the train in Garland and it took it all the way to the front gates of the zoo. We spent most of the day at the zoo then we hopped back on the train & it took us right back to our car, it was perfect day!

Cans for Cody

This week I got a call from my sweet nephew this is how the call went...

Cody: Aunt Sissy this is Cody, can you save all of your cans for me... I need money & my Dad is letting me crush cans so I can turn them in for money.

Me: Sure I'll save cans, what are you trying to make money for?

Cody: I need money for something very special...

Me: what is it????

Cody: I need money so I can go on the Nickelodeon Cruise this summer..

This conversation went down on Sunday & he called me again last night (Tuesday) to see if I had cans ready for him. He is so excited!! But I need help I don't have soda cans... only the occasional Fresca.... So I'm asking if you live near me in the Rockwall area & drink Cokes, DP, Sprite, Beer, Monsters, V8.... Please save your cans for my sweet Cody. I will come pick up any sacks full, bags full, boxes full.. whatever you can do for him.

***side note: My brother & sis in law are not making him pay his way... they just want him to learn the importance about saving money for special things.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary

6 years ago today I married my best friend.

I love this man so much & cant wait to grow old together. He makes me smile everyday, he makes me laugh when all I want to do is cry, he picks me up when I'm down. He is the love of my life & the light in my eyes. I love you so much babe....

Happy Birthday Cody Boo!

Happy Birthday Cody!

I can't believe that 10 years ago today we were at the hospital waiting for you to be born. Your doctor & nurses were all in costume it was then I decided to give you the nick name of Cody "BOO". You are such a sweet boy & remind me so much of your dad. I couldn't ask for a better nephew. Sissy loves you to pieces!

Our weekend vaca...

This summer we went to the beach with Michael's side of the Family for a long weekend getaway. We had a beach front rental in Surf Side Beach. It was such a fun & relaxing weekend. We hung out on the beach, collected sea shells, buried each other in the sand, made castles, flew kites & had an amazing time with our nieces & nephews. I also went on my first deep sea fishing trip. We went out about 25 miles to sea & it took 1 1/2 hours to get to our spot. We tried to catch Mahi Mahi but they were not biting we did however hit the jack pot with Red Snapper...
