Count Down

I have 2 more weeks of school people!  It's crunch time to get my lectures, papers, etc done!  Then it's time to sit back and relax.... well not really.  It'll then be time to truly start organizing and cleaning the house for the baby's arrival!  So I apologize in advance right now for the late 'Thank You' notes!!!  Wish me luck!

Baby Shower

My friends threw me a baby shower a few weeks ago.  It was pretty low key (how I like things) and consisted of food, friends, and creative oneies decorating!

Cheese tray

Blue punch + safety ducks!

 Spanakopita (spinach pie)

 Veggie tray

 Baked brie and crackers - my fav!

 Diaper cake

 Fruit salad in a beautifully cut watermelon bowl

 Baby boy shower cookies

Below are examples of some extremely creative oneies... 

And here is Ranger patiently waiting for his brother err food to be dropped on the floor!

Thanks everyone for spending this special day with me and the boy!

"Hello... Is it me you're looking for?"

Hello again.  Sorry I have not posted in so long.  I am taking a summer school class and have attended 3 baby showers in 1 month so I am behind on the blog.  Do not worry!  Summer school will be done very soon which gives me time to devote to organizing, nesting, and blogging!  I will try to get some updates in the coming week or two.  Until then, take care!

Baby Ducklings

A friend of mine and I have been walking around a local park for almost 2 years now!  Each lap is 2.5 miles, and we try to do 2 laps.  As our kiddos are growing inside our bellies, these goal of 2 laps is slowly diminishing. To completely not jip ourselves of mileage, we found a small pond inside the park to do a couple laps around.  See the cute little ducklings we found living around the pond.

UFC = Ultimate Fighting Cats

Over the Memorial Day weekend, Oliver got into another fight with (must be) a stray cat inside of our backyard.  The hubby heard feline fighting sounds and got up to check what it was.  Oliver came inside, but boy was he pissed!  He was left alone to cool down over night.  The next morning, Oliver let me brush him so I assume he did not have any severe wounds.  I did find a small (what looked like at the time) scratch on his right ear.  A week and a half went by, and the scab on the ear came off.  Oliver has a hole in his ear!!!!!  We think he used up life #6 that evening.  Now, he has a legitimate fighting wound and can be called the winner of the ultimate fighting cats contest that night!  He's got some serious street creds now!

Jalapenos

Like I said before, my jalapenos are growing like crazy.  Here is a pic of the first crop of jalapenos.  I've picked a second batch since this picture was taken.  Today (6/10/12), I even made some jalapeno cornbread!

Rangers vs Bluejays

We had a work event where we all went to the Texas Rangers vs Toronto Bluejays.  It was a super exciting game with back-to-back-to-back home runs!  The final score was Rangers 8, Bluejays 7 after the 13th inning!
