That’s ONE Big Cupcake!

May 19, 2008 by Elaine

This is before Little G got his hands on it. Literally. Ain’t it cute? I LOVE this thing. (here’s the link to info on the pan) But not as much as I love my ONE-Year-Old! It’s still hard to believe that he is ONE but… it is true so let’s eat cake and celebrate, shall…

Happy Birthday Mom!

April 15, 2008 by Elaine

Today is my Mom’s birthday! She is one year shy of a pretty big decade, but I won’t say which. A woman never tells her age, right? Well in this case, a woman’s daughter never tells her age. Anyway, I just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mom (and yes, it’s tax day.) Wouldn’t…

I Wouldn’t Come To Our House If I Were You

April 11, 2008 by Elaine

Both Tim and Little G have “the junk”, also known in our house as a sinus infection. We almost made it to a year without having to get the “pink stuff.” Almost. I mean there is literally junk oozing out of the poor little baby’s eyes. Eww. But oh, he’s still so sweet and all…

Officially Four

April 7, 2008 by Elaine

The B Man had his birthday party yesterday, so now he is “officially” four. By the way, if you want a deep discounted party at The Little Gym, have them double book you and then ask you to reschedule for the following day! Just a little tip for you there! (please notice the sarcasm… UGH!)…

Counting Heads…

April 5, 2008 by Elaine

My cousin Misty came down to visit (from Canada!) and she has 4 kids, so with my two that makes 6. That seems like a lot of kids to me, although I know it’s not THAT many. While we were out I felt like I constantly had to count heads, thus the name of this…

Growin’ up is Hard to do… Well, for Mommy Anyway

March 27, 2008 by Elaine

I had a startling realization today. My first baby is no longer a toddler or even a little boy, he’s a kid. A full – fledged kid. In the last couple of weeks he’s been doing so many things by himself. He goes to the bathroom without even telling me. He washes his hands on…

Easter At Its Best

March 24, 2008 by Elaine

We went to Easter mass at the church I grew up attending. The mass happened to be geared more towards children and Father James called them up to the altar to show them his Easter basket. Inside one egg he had candy which sent them all into a tizzy. Once he calmed them down he…

“The Cutest Baby in the World!”

May 26, 2007 by Elaine

My title for today’s blog entry stems from the fact that Tim’s Mom always says that the lastest baby in the family is the cutest baby ever! And of course, that is how I feel about Gavin right now. I am so in love with him and he’s just been such a good baby so…

Family Fun

April 22, 2007 by Elaine

This weekend we had the chance to visit with Tim’s Aunt Sherry, her daughter Sally and Sally’s two children, Eli and Evelyn. Sally lives on the East coast and Sherry lives in Oregon, so at least once a year they meet in the middle to visit Tim’s grandparents and mother, here in Texas! Here are…

Easter Fun & Family

April 10, 2007 by Elaine

We made a trip to Austin for this Easter weekend and what a cold weekend it was! It sleeted off and on most of the day on Saturday and my mother enjoyed watching the thermostat go down that entire morning… we couldn’t believe it! We even had to borrow a jacket from Ben’s cousins so…
