There is no other word beside...

LAZY!!

There really is no excuse why I haven't updated this thing with pictures and more posts, other than the fact that I must be truly lazy. I have loved spending the past week and a half with family and friends and not having to worry about a paper being due or a test that I have to negate and ignore everyone and everything to study for. I love it. I love the freedom to sit on the couch or the bed in my pajamas with my sweet boys and not have to rush around to leave the house by 6:45 a.m. to make it to school on time. I love that I get to sit down and finish things on my to do list. I mean I really love this!

I will get pics posted and more info posted to this little blog once I decide to get my lazy butt up and stop eating ice cream and cookies and milk in bed...

Hey, someone had to eat the leftover cookies we made for Santa. But I bet when Santa ate the cookies he didn't leave a bunch of crumbs on his pajamas or in the bed.

Until the next post (whenever that will be...)

I'm only about a month behind...

How in the world did I get so behind? I know I was in finals, but come on.

Let's see... a recap of what all has gone on and the pictures to follow.

1. Cash stayed in an entirely other state for 4 days during my finals week. We missed him terribly, but it was a perfect chance for his family that lives in Texas to get to spend some quality time with him.

2. Noah's precious "Biboo" passed away at the age of 93. It was technically his great aunt, but he really only knew her as his beloved grandma. We were fortunate enough to travel to Houston for the funeral but we were not able to get down there in time to say our goodbyes (which I know really bothers Noah)

3. Cash had his 4 month checkup and everything is going great. He is 26 inches long and 16.8 pounds. She said he is growing just like he should and is a bit ahead of the game as far as sitting up by himself.

4. Cash had his first Christmas, with both families, and ate every piece of wrapping paper or tissue paper he could find. That kid is so funny...

5. Cash went to his first ever cookie decorating party and slept through the entire thing. I can't say that I blame him. If I couldn't eat a cookie I sure as heck wouldn't want to watch a bunch of people eating them in front of me.

6. Cash got his very own personalized, hand made leather belt for Christmas. (Picture to come)

7. Cash got his first ever head cold. BOO!!!

8. Cash got permission from the doctor to eat cereal at oatmeal from a bowl. He didn't so much care for that. But tonight I gave him green beans and there was not a drop on his bib. He is for sure his daddy's kid.

I'm sure there is much more that I left out and I will post pics once I get them uploaded to my computer. That should be within the next day or two.

Love,
Erin

Hi...

Hi.

My name is Erin.

I used to blog on this site.

I will again... in approximately 2 days... after my finals.

See you then.

Oh and I don't know if I have mentioned this yet, but I detest finals week.

Okay, bye.

Thunder up...

Noah and I got great tickets to the Thunder vs. Rockets basketball game a few weeks ago (a special thank you to Ms. Lynne and Austin). Noah and I made a date night out of it and went to dinner before and thent o the game. We had a great time and enjoyed each others company so much. I love spending time with my family, but I also really love spending time with just my husband sometimes.
Even Cash got in the Thunder spirit... Thunder Thighs!!!

A word of advice to my precious baby boy...

Crack kills!

A Thanksgiving to remember...

Over Thanksgiving, we went to Leander, TX to spend some time with all of Noah's family. This was the first time Cash was able to meet his extended family on the Allen side. We started to trip off leaving around 5:00 in the afternoon. We drove to Ft. Worth and stayed the night in a hotel. This was Cash's first road trip and he did marvelous. He slept the entire way to Ft.Worth, which I expected to happen, but that would also prove to be a small problem when it came time for bed. Because he slept for 3 hours right before his bedtime, he was not exactly on his normal schedule. He did surprisingly well that night and only woke up once! (Atta boy.) The next morning we woke up and started the last leg of our drive to Leander. Again, Cash slept the whole way and was a bit off of his normal nap times. But oh well, what do you do?

The next morning Noah, his Papaw, and I woke up and drove to Round Rock Donuts. This place has been on Man vs. Food (and Noah and I love that show) so we made this stop a must. They are famous for their 1 pound donut and wouldn't you know it, we just had to get it! We took a picture of Cash next to the donut just to give you an idea of how big this donut actually was...

There was also a very special guest that came to visit all of the little kids. A man ya'll may know as Santa Claus! That's right. He made a special trip to Leander, TX to find out what all of the kids wanted for Christmas. I'm not sure exactly what Cash told him, my guess is not much, but if I had to make a wild guess I would say maybe a big bottle of milk. I am not sure if anything would make him happier. Here are some pics of Cash with his new buddy Santa.

For some reason, Cash always looks confused...

This is Cash with his cousin Owen. They are pretty much going to best of friends!
