Ten on Tuesday Part 2

1. What is your favorite month?
*** I have a couple and for different reasons. First I like APRIL, James and I got married in April but I have always like that month, I guess because the weather is a good combo of Texas weather. I also like JUNE and JULY simply because they are summer months and I love hot weather. Lastly I like DECEMBER because it is Christmas time and I can finally bust out my winter boots that I get to wear about 2 weeks out of the year here in Texas***

2. What is the best candy to get while trick or treating?
***The old time bubble gum that is super hard to chew and the flavor lasts for about 5 minutes.***

3. What kind of pen do you use?
*** Whatever is available at my desk or with me when I need one, I do prefer blue ink over black but hey when you need a pin beggars can't be choosers***

4. You go to a new Italian restaurant, what is your go-to order?
***Fettechine or Ravioli, Its really hard to mess those up***

5. If you could choose to have any celebrity’s hair, who’s would you choose?
***Jennifer Aniston or Jessica Beil, don't ask me why I just like the way their hair looks***

6. What’s your favorite board game?
***Trouble, Monopoly, Scrabble, Candy Land***

7. Do you know how to play poker?
*** Nope, I can kinda play Blackjack***

8. What do you think about Old Navy commercials?
*** When they used to use the dog I thought the were super cute but now with the whole Manican

9. What hurts worse- a stubbed toe or a paper cut?
*** Stubbed toe with out a question. I stub my toe on a daily basis or have something dropped on them so I know the pain very well and I do not like it**

***Pumpkin or Apple***
 
 
 
 
 

Ten on Tuesday

1. Do you wear glasses, contacts, or are you one of those perfect eyed people?
Glasses, I used to wear contacts and then when I was pregnant I never could get them in so I started wearing glasses. I tried to put my contacts back in after I had Kelbie but my eyes just don't like them anymore, so I sport the glasses now. Luckily mine don't look to bad so its okay.



2. What is the next item you are going to purchase?
The rest of my Christmas Presents


3. Have you ever watched Judge Judy or any other real court show?
At some point I am sure I have watched Judge Judy but I really don't like that stuff.


4. How do you feel about fake nails?
I love them. I used to wear them all the time and haven't had them on in at least 6 months. Time to go get them done again. My nails are so messed up from them and they don't grow but I like they way they look.


5. What is your favorite sport to watch?
AGGIE Football


6. If you could create your own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, what would it be and what would it be named?
That is a good question. I am not good at coming up with things and I don't like a bunch of weird flavors. I stick to the normal flavors. I really would like a dark chocolate peppermint flavor. They might already make something like that but I wouldn't know.


7. Do you have any scars?
Yes a couple. I have one under my chin from stitches when I was little, on on my chest from a mole that was removed and a few on my legs form misc things.


8. Does your pet’s name fit them? Is there a more appropriate name?
I guess. I have never really thought about it. My brother named Indiana and I guess it fits her, she has the marking of a cow and sometime we call her Indiana Moo. Lizzie we didn't name as we got her as a stray kinda and her old owners had already named her. Jersey I think fits her. I have always liked that name and knew I would never name my child that so the dog got stuck with it. Now I just need a Lucy and my names will all be complete.


9. What is your favorite television show theme song?
Gilligan Islands, Pretty Little Liars and Psych


10. What was your favorite activity on the playground?
Used to be the swings but now I feel sick when I swing so I guess I would have to say the slides. Kelbie loves to swing and slide so I will just live through her when she swings.

Introducing....



Trystan Grace Boyer
8lbs 9oz 21.5in
12:49pm

We are so excited to have a niece. She is a lot bigger then I thought she would be. Brayden was so tiny that I was sure Trystan would be too. Kelbie did great meeting her new Cousin. She was a little unsure at first but once she warmed up she loved being around and holding Trystan. She did give Shannon the same look Brayden gave me when I was in the hospital. I think the wires and stuff confuses them.

A few photos from our first visit with Trystan Grace...

Take One

So we thought it would be a great idea to take Kelbie to see Santa this year. We went last year but she was so little she didn't know the difference. So my first thought was she is a pretty outgoing kid so this should be no big deal, we might not get a smile (as she isn't into taking pictures these days) but we could at least get a somewhat decent picture with Santa. My second thought was she was going to be like most kids her age and totally freak out with Santa. Well my second thought was right. She cried from the minute I set her down in his lap until a few minutes after I picked her up. Better luck next year I guess. Picture below didn't turn out to bad considering. We might go again in a week or two to the Bass Pro Shop in Pear land, heard it was free and maybe she will warm up to the Santa idea a little more.

I took a picture of the picture so it didn't come out to well, but you get the picture of the pure terror on her face!


Photo Dump!






Okay that didn't last...

So I started the whole 365 days of blogging and I have given up. It sounded like a really cool idea when I started but now I don't like it. I can't remember to blog everyday and sometimes I have nothing to blog about so I have deleted the posts and I am going back to my normal blogging.  So since I have missed normal blogging for about a month now this one is going to be a photo dump and random blogging. 

So first up was Halloween, Kelbie was a flapper girl and I thought she looked super cute. James had to work late so he missed her first official Halloween, but there is always next year. We only hit up a few houses but she loved the concept of getting candy. She also got to have her first sucker that night. She loved it but it was all over her, me and the chair when we got done.


Next we celebrated James's birthday which there is a previous post. He is 2 years away from being 30 and I don't think he likes that very much but hey it happens to everyone.

Nothing to exciting has been happening in November. Kelbie no longer takes classes at Little Gym, we found a new place called Great Play that we love. It is different from Little Gym and Kelbie loves going to class there and the owner and staff are very nice. We miss a few of our friends from Little Gym but I just couldn't have her in class there anymore with everything that was going on. I know most of the people still love going there but if someone asks I tell them to go check out Great Play.

Thanksgiving was good this year. My 26th birthday feel on Thanksgiving so I had turkey for my birthday. It happens about every 6 years or so. It was also the last time the Aggies and longhorns played each other. I am a little sad at how the game ended but hey what can you do. Kelbie had the cutest little turkey outfit and I am hoping that it will fit again next year so we can get lots of use out of it. The picture didn't come out to good as my child doesn't like pictures anymore. (Picture of just the outfit below)



This coming Monday Kelbie will be getting a new Cousin. Trystan Grace is scheduled to be born sometime around 12:30pm. I am anxious to see what she looks like and how Brayden reacts. I know Kelbie is still to young to understand but I am hoping she does well and it will get her used to the fact of a baby whenever James and I decide to have another one.

I am very excited for Christmas this year. I just started shopping yesterday on BLACK FRIDAY. I wasn't one of the crazy ones out at midnight. I waited until 9am and still found great deals and didn't have to fight all the people. I would say the best place for deals was Target. I got Brayden's Christmas taken care of and it didn't cost me very much at all. I am done shopping for Kelbie for the most part, James and Brayden. I know what I am getting everyone else I just have to wait to get more money to finish. I am finding it hard to shop for Trystan and you would think it would be easy. She is only going to be a month old (Kelbie was only 2.5 months) but I just can't seem to find the perfect gift. I still have time though so hopefully something will jump out at me. I am most excited that Kelbie will be getting a swing set from SANTA this year. She loves to swing and slide and I feel that with one in our backyard she will be able to do that more, plus our backyard is perfect for one.


Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and is getting ready for Christmas. Our inside is already done and we are deciding about the outside. I love having our tree up all decorated and to see how Kelbie reacts this year now that she is old enough to somewhat understand the holidays. Until next time :)

Our Weekends

When James isn't working and we don't have anything planned, this is how you will find him. He is completely obsessed with Call of Duty. He now has the headset and everything to go along with it. He literally will spend all day doing this. It really is like being married to a 10 year old. I do everything while he sits and plays video games. Welcome to my life!
