Drum roll pls....David's 27!!!

Last night we celebrated Davids 27th birthday! Family and friends met us at New York Pizza to enjoy some pizza and cake :)
I love that we were able celebrate all together as much as David protested...I WON! We've had a wonderful weekend of just relaxing and celebrating!! David was able to finish all his homeowner early and just hang out with us minus his usual attachment to the computer on weekends.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend...were expecting snow hmmm maybe late start tomorrow!!

Oh and yes I forgot candles so David is using his lighter!

To choose or not to choose!

Wow we had a whirlwind of a weekend that here it is Wednesday and I'm just getting to post. We went car looking that turned into actual car liking...first we went to check out the Chevy Traverse and then we went to check out the Kia Sorrento. We heard that people that owned Sorrento's LOVED them but however when we went to our local dealership and checked out the model that we liked...I was kindly "sarcastic" told that the vehicle I was looking at cost too much for me and should continue looking but in a base model. I must say that takes alot of well you know to tell someone that...yet he had me test drive the most expensive model they had on the lot. This salesman makes no sense and we will definitely be telling anyone that asks that this dealership has JERKS!

After spending the say shopping for cars that we didn't intend on purchasing we decided we would try to see how much it would cost to buy the Traverse. More on that later...

We made it home just in enough time to get ready and head to the Civic Center for David's Birthday Present...seeing the Newsboys Live! Their tour was called "God's Not Dead" as much as I'm not crazy about their music it was nice to see David enjoy himself so much and I really liked the opening band Anthem Lights and Abandoned. David's friend John went with us and let me just say its LOUD at a concert if your in the "Golden Circle" seats which are 2 rows away from the stage!



New shoes New you!

Isn't that how it works new shoes new you...I wish! This past Monday we officially joined the YMCA---insert hand motions :) I hadn't bought running shoes since I was prego with Dj and David's were in yucky shape so here's to new shoes and working out! We made the switch from our old gym to the Y because of childcare...which is a sad topic at least for me because Djs first time in the nursery consisted of standing in one solitary position while we did a short 30 minute work out. The gym has busy days in the nursery so for now the plan is just to go on the non busy days and pray he gets better in there!

3 years later....and it's still like yesterday!

I think the title sums up everything about today....our hearts are so full....both heavy and joyous...we've been beyond blessed with the love of our lives Dj yet..our hearts yearn for more.

This day feels like yesterday...Clara Grace.

Double ear & sinus infection!

We have one tough little guy! Not once did he whine or complain. Friday night we has dinner and munchkin just laid on the couch with me till bed time. Around 1 am he woke up crying--mom & dad to the rescue! I stayed up with him till 4 am bc David had to work this morning. Well I called the doctors office and they said they wanted to see him again... Yes it's only been a week since we were there with a virus dx. So 1.5 hr later we left with Meds and instructions to hydrate if not HOSPITAL...so I dropped Dj off with David and went to get tons of pedialyte. Thanks to my coupons I saved $20! We've spent the day eating pedi-pops and cuddling with lil man. Hopefully we get better and avoid another hospital stay!

Friday fun!

It's been a short week at work but enough to get the kids settled back in! This afternoon we took Dj and the kids to the park to enjoy the 70 degree day before it gets cold again. Tomorrow is a sad day that comes before a sad week...I'll be attending a memorial service of a highschool/elementary friend.
Hopefully well have a better weekend with our lil guy feeling better!!

Toasts, Tostadas & Turkey

Feliz año nuevo! Happy 2012! We had our usual Family New Years at my parents. Our lil man hung in there like a trooper and stayed up till 2:15 am...Yes in the morning! We came home went to bed and had a nice calm day at home on New Years Day. Shaft and Phillip came over for the Cowboys game so I left them with a tostada bar while I went to my moms with Dj to have turkey! We are so blessed to have had a wonderful year with Dj and can't wait to see what the new year brings us!
