Abilene Football

Today we left Dj w g-ma for a whole day and went to watch Abilene take on Southlake! Sadly we lost but it gave us a chance to go see the Cowboys stadium. We went with Norma but my whole family was there and even Trey and Dom were there! Well it's off to bed and looking forward to a lazy Sunday with my guys!

Halloween 2010

Well I can say that taking Dj Trick or Treating is going to be so much fun when he gets older!! Aside from the fact that Halloween is probably my favorite holiday aside from Christmas!! Dj was Superman for Halloween since he always sleeps like he's flying. He also looked like a pumpkin for part of the day as well.

It was nice to go trick or treating with Norma and the kids...and then we were surprised by my parents who met us out there. We made our rounds with Dj so that everyone could see him...then after went to have pizza with my family. It was a nice first Halloween for Dj. We can't wait for the next holidays to come!!

Band & Baptism!!

The title could be an alliteration! I thought I'd post a picture of my niece Ori during her first home game marching performance! We've got it on video as well just haven't figured out how to upload the camcorder yet. On a different note we had Dj's Baptism this past Saturday! It was wonderful...very short and sweet! We couldn't ask for a more supportive family...Thank you all for coming! Dj looked like so handsome and like such a big boy in his baptismal outfit. Tino & Carol chose a very cute outfit.

We filled our tummies with yummy food. Tino had the brisket smoked and we had potato salad, rice, beans, salad and of course...CAKE and CHOCOLATE(spanish)! It was nice sharing a wonderful meal with everyone.

This week is a usual week for us except for AHS HOMECOMING this Friday...which hopefully as long as the weather is nice will be DJ's first home game!

Busy Busy Busy...

I can honestly say that between work...home...and family! We've been BUSY! Dj is 10 weeks today and a very "healthy" boy! He is currently sleeping with us because he'll sleep straight through the night with us so mommy & daddy can both sleep! If we put him in his crib we might get 5 hrs max! He attended his first live Fantasy Football Draft party on Labor Day weekend! That was us being out of the house for more than 2 hrs...it was kinda nice...yet I was a bit nervous at the same time. We went in seperate cars just in case! Aside from that we've been busy being parents...and enjoying every new experience Dj gives us. This week is the last week of the Fair & Rodeo and Im really looking forward to going and getting to eat some YUMMY food! We only go once and its to grab some dinner and head home...this year same routine just not sure when as we'll be dropping DJ off so that he's not exposed to all those people or the heat.
Tomorrow we're going to the AHS vs. Plant football game..yes on a Thursday..but if it gets to be too much we'll just head home and watch it on TV. ESPN is hosting the event so they are televising it. Dj again will be with someone..not sure who yet!
Well his Baptism is fast approaching and the paper goods have been ordered and are here already just now to get all the food finalized...cake ordered...invitations sent out..and get everything else together! He & I have been going to church and I can say he's been GREAT...stays calm during the 1 hr service an after while people are looking at him.

One quick post...

well...Dj and I survived my first week back at work. Daddy survived too since he didn't have us around to bother him all day! Tomorrow is my first day of school and hopefully everything goes well and the year starts off great! I've been trying to soak up as much DJ time as I can this weekend...all we did was hang out at home and go to Tim's bday party Saturday night! Its nice to hang out with family. Well about to start getting all our stuff ready for the week and feed DJ!

Our 1st Month & Football!

We can offically say that our first month has FLOWN by! Here is a picture of Dj at 1 week before we left for our first doctors appointment. After this appointment we learned that he will be going to his appointments in easier clothes to get on and off fast! We had a good first appointment and went back at 2 weeks for a weight check and he'd gained so that he was back to birth weight.
We originally had some problems with nursing but we're slowly making better progress! I think we can offically say we do have a bit of a chunker. David and my sister have been very supportive of my nursing struggles they keep me very positive when its getting hard. Friday we went to school to move my classroom furiniture which was a slap of reality as I'll be going back in a week. My plan is to spend as much time as possible with him this week and cherious every minute!
Yesterday was his 1 month birthday! Can't believe its gone that fast! Today is the first pre-season game for the Cowboys and thanks to Uncle Trey Dj and Dad have GEAR!! Something tells me this is what I'll be seeing every Thursday or Sunday depending on when the Cowboys play! I'll end this with a pic of him in his outfit!
