Dr. Bass is back!!

Well my doctor is offically back! Its almost been 6 whole weeks since I've seen him but we saw him on Thursday and he said things are going GREAT and that my surgery is working PERFECT!! That is such a good thing to hear. I will see him again in 3 weeks and next week we see our specialist! I say that the "mommy" check up went great and that our next appointment is for "Peanut's" check up! I've decided to offically wait until one more confirmation from the doctor before choosing anything for the nursery just so that we're sure that Peanut still has a Peanut!! We have colors and lots of ideas on what we'd like to have in the room just a matter of figuring things out. My mom & dad are going to be buying the crib as that is our family tradition and here pretty soon I'll actually get to go shopping for it. David wants me to wait until after 24 weeks before I start actually making purchases and I respect his decision on that so just 6 more weeks!! I am really excited about my cradle finally making its way back to me!! Its a very bittersweet circle that its made. My grandfather bought the cradle for me when I was born and since then its been used by Lauren, Andrew, Mark & Alexis, Oriana, Maddie and Louie!! So 7 babies later its Peanut's turn! My mom is on a blanket making frenzy and they are going to wonderful with all of the warm comfy clothes that Jomi has bought Peanut!! I think that I've felt Peanut some days to say "Hey Mom I'm Here"! David says that he's lazy because every time that he talks to him or messes with my stomach to get him to move he goes still. He says that now wait till its completely obvious that he's moving and we'll see who is lazy LOL! There are so many things that I'm looking forward to getting for Peanut once he's here...we'll have our Lil' Eagle FAN!! The ladies at work joke with me that I should just make his nursery Black & Gold to "brainwash" as the Cooper fans say early!
Well Lent has started and that makes my choices of food a bit different as Im always craving chicken and the latest craving is Chinese!! For Lent this year I've taken on going to church every weekend because I feel that regardless of where we've been in the past couple years God has given us so many blessings! We were blessed with a wonderful Daughter that will never be forgotten, with a wedding and for Peanut! I can also say that though this year has been hard for my sister I can say that my family is truly appreciative of the time we're given and continue to pray for her healing that God has given her!
David is out shooting at the farm again this weekend and I am about to start working on Lesson plans!!

Happy 25th!!

Well Thursday was David's 25th Birthday and we welcomed it with SNOW & ICE. I didn't have time to get a picture of the snow so this is a picture that came from bigcountryhomepage.com. Luckily David did not have to go to work...sadly I did. I drove about 20 mph the entire way to work in blinding snow but Im glad I was only 5 minutes late for work. I left work as soon as my kids were gone for the day and spent the rest of the day with David on his birthday!! We had rented movies and had his birthday dinner just the two of us the night before so we were able to just make dinner and relax Thursday night! I made him Green Chile Casserole a family recipe that we will certainly continue as our own family recipe. Here is a picture of our casserole.

Friday however we were lucky because we had a late start to school and the roads had cleared up enough that there weren't many issues driving. So around 8:30 ish we both headed out the door for work. Friday was David's last day working in the office for BCBS and I had my Valentine's Party with my kids. My kids truly enjoyed their party as we had nuggets from Chic Fil A and lots of yummy treats that my kids had brought with them! I must say that David was extremely happy to have his last day and come Monday he'll be working from home! Later that night we had David's actual Birthday Party at Lytle Land & Cattle Co. It was wonderful to spend time with family and friends. We had David's parents, my parents, both my sisters and their families and some of our friends!! Sadly I forgot to take pictures but we had a whole side of the room we were in just for our party. We had a wonderful dinner and a YUMMY cake...it was poker themed!

Today David went shooting with his dad and Dave Lee. Im glad that he finally got to use his gun and go shoot! While he was shooting I did some laundry and went to visit my sister while working on some lesson plans. After he got home we went to get some color samples for Peanut's nursery and will continue thinking of how we want to decorate his nursery. We are currently getting our fill of the Winter Olympics!!

Peanut's 1st Onesie & Drum Roll......

Well I have been trying to set up this blog for the past 2 days. For some reason my phone would send to my blog but the blog itself actually wouldn't post.

Here is a onsie that we have bought for Peanut on Monday while out shopping. We bought as neutral a color as we could find but of course it had to have STARS on it!! Peanut has a hand me down from Clara already...a very cute Nike Texas Longhorn sweatsuit...from Uncle Oscar & Aunt Kannika!! Our house will be divided...Hook'em Horns and Wreck'em Tech! David's parents got Peanut some wonderful longsleeve onsies, which I can say you can never have enough longsleeve stuff regardless of the weather outside!

Work has been kinda crazy for both us I can say this week...juggling doctors appointments here and there and trying to get David ready for work from home in the next week.

But on a good note I can offically say that:
